Did the Watchtower Organization make you "Cry" at a time or another?

by JH in

let it be the elders during a judicial meeting or just the way you were treated by your fellow brothers and sisters, did the emotions of being reprehended or deceived make you cry?.

I'm so sorry you are being treated in such a cruel way. The love Jesus said people should have for eachother certainly does not exist in this organization.

My Trip to the Dentist's Torture Chamber

hola all.

well, i won't go into all the gory details, suffice to say it was absolute .

fricking torture for four hours.

Take plenty of calcium and magnisium to keep teeth healthy. The body doesn't absorb calcium to easily so we definately need calcium suplements. Calcium also helps calm the nerves. My dentist said my teeth were so clean that it must be something I was eating, but I think it is something I'm taking... Calcium with magnisium and a good daily vitiman

Loves ya, Annie

Oh yeah, I do give my teeth a good brushing after each meal and at bedtime.

Which did you fear more as a JW, God or the Elders?

by JH in

jw
friends

i felt that god understood if i missed meetings or didn't go out in the field service very much, but the elders wouldn't.. bottom line, i feared the elders more ...... that's pretty sad.

I didn't fear God, I loved him and still do, but those elders were more like the pompus preachers they talked about so much.

Land of Fugitiveness

by I.Wonder in

good day everyone!.

genisis 4:14 says: here you are actually driving me this day from off the surface of the ground, and from your face i shall be concealed; and i must become a wanderer and fugitive on the earth, and it is certain that anyone finding me will kill me.. 16 says: with that cain went away from the face of jehovah and took up residence in the land of fugitiveness (or nod') to the east of e den.. 17 says: afterward cain had intercourse with his wife and she became pregnant and gave birth to e noch.

then he engaged in building a city and called the citys name by the name of his son e noch.. .

What do you think? What does this account tell us? I am very curious to hear your opinions

Cain was already married when he killed Abel. He probably married one of his sisters.. The KJV says... "and in the process of TIME,... it came to pass that Cain brought fruit frome the field.... Adam and Eve had been having children all the time before Cain killed Abel, but there was no reason to mention it because nobody had ever killed another before, and there was no reason to have a seed to replace Abel, because Abel wasn't dead yet. These men were grown when Cain killed Abel and probably had more than a hundred brothers and sisters who were marrying eachother and having hundreds more children.
Genisis doesn't say Cain found his wife in the land of Nod, it says he" knew" or had sex with his wife in the land of Nod and had a child. Once Abel was dead, isn't it logical that Eve would say of her next child, " I now have a son to replace Abel."
And don't forget about how long those people lived back then, and how old they were when they could still have children... That gave them the chance to populate that part of the Earth very quickly. So even if it happened that Cain did not get married till he got to Nod, the people in Nod would still be his relatives.
