  there are a few things i picked up from watchtowerism that i still find value in.

  (although, i could have easily picked them up elsewhere.).

  one of these is the 30-day test to abstain from all booze.. .

  I don't remember ever hearing about that as a JW, but I was thinking of not drinking this month just to see if I could do it.

  The Noah's ark : What a nonsense!

  1. a shitty start we don't have to wait more than 4 verses of genesis 6 to put our feet in a big stinky bullshit :.

  consequently, jehovah saw that mans wickedness was great on the earth and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time.

  jehovah regretted that he had made men on the earth, and his heart was saddened.

  Why even have a flood in the first place? If God is all knowing and all powerful he could have simply made everyone but Noah disappear. Is he so cruel as to prefer that people suffer and die a horrible death, even children?

  complete and finished.. .

  no dictionary has ever been able to satisfactorily define the difference between "complete" and "finished.

  " however, during a recent linguistic conference, held in london , england , and attended by some of the best linguists in the world.

  It was a very difficult year for me and my family so I am glad it's over. I have been doing lot of thinking about what I want to do in my life, so I have come up with a plan to get me where I want to be. It's going to be hard, but I really think I can do it. 

  Start doing yoga. 

  Get my business going again. 

  Get off of all prescription medications

  Practice mindfulness, meditate more.

  uber dub random meeting and why all the changes to the format here?!

  by tiki in

  ran into an uber-dub known from my history in the org......she had to be very sure i wasn't d'fed or d'aed - merely "inactive" so she could give me a big hug and inform me that she knows i'm coming back to jehovah because he understands my "hurt" and....blah blah blah.

  it struck me how dependent they are on labels.......and how very stupid it is....you can hug me because i don't have the df label?

  would i be a different person if i had that label?

  Very well put Confuzzlediam.  I am sorry you had to go through this, I am sure it was very painful, but worth it in the long run to gain your freedom.

  My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.

  12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.

  15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

  This is a viewpoint on the blood doctrine I hadn't considered, good research and solid reasoning, this will be very helpful if it come up with discussions with my family. 

  My  feeling is that they originally were fearful of blood transfusions out of ignorance and used the bible as an excuse to justify those fears, what the bible actually allowed was secondary.  No doubt they would like to move away from it, but can't because it would raise too many questions about the many people who threw their life away by blindly following the Watchtower's doctrine. I wonder how many more will die because they refuse they admit they were wrong? I was at the market the other day and saw someone in front of me with a no blood card in her wallet, it made me sad.

  I don't get why anyone would need to carry a gun around, especially if they had a toddler. You are more likely to be shot by someone you know than by a stranger, and this is one of the reasons why.

  Someone I know told me a funny story about Edie Murphy, she claimed it happened to "a friend of a friend". I expressed my disbelief, but she swore it was true. The problem was I had heard the exact same story years before, only then it was about Richard Pryor. 

  I have made a hobby of researching modern urban legends. What they have in common is that they confirm a bias or belief and they seem like they could/should be true. I have found that people want to believe these things, in fact they get offended when you tell them the truth.  It's no surprise that Jehovah's Witnesses are no better than any other group, or even worse, when it comes to MULs, the whole belief system is a MUL.
