  Prepardness and the "Society"...

  by Justice-One in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know the "society" actually has something with this prepardness thing.

  they just don't have a clue on what to tell people to do or buy.

  i do not want to come off like a know it all, (i'm far from that....i'm still learning) but would anyone be interested in a thread that does not mention firearms (imho they are important, but to much of a hot-button topic) on prepardness?

  1. Because of our love for Jehovah and for our neighbours, we are determined to intensify our
  witness to the world of mankind regardless of their race, nationality or station in life. I was going to start a post of talking about this same foolishness. Why is that JW's don't care about race or nationality if you are a witness or a potenial. But will make a fuss if your worldly.

  It's like they try to say it's because they are worldly but you know it's because they are white, black or hispanic. I was really cool with this older spanish sister, but when I started dating this Mexican guy my mom flipped and it didn't have anything to do with him being wordly. I see that alot, but they try to hide behing the "worldly" status. And sometimes even if you are a witness they make a fuss. So much for love and not being prejudice.

  I can't open the link.

  Well anyway, I was at this last convention. And I guess being that I was hanging in by a thread anyway, I was really amazed at how the resolution sounded. Really heil hilter, to me and a little over the top. I told my self that it was because I was spritually weak. Looking back I now realize that they really stressed the internet alot. Too the point of being utterly ridiculous. I truly believe that more witness than we realize are lurking on the internet trying to see how much of what we apostates say is true. And that witnesses have got to be leaving the organization like you would not believe.

  After they said the resolutions.. I just looked around thinking that they sounded really cultish. I wasn't thinking a cult in my mind at the time, but I guess that that is what my mind was thinking without putting a name or a specific word to how I felt. I did not agree to any of the resolutions. I just looked around at everyone like," are you serious". My mother gave me the evil eye during and after the resloutions when she saw that I was not agreeing to any of it.

  what a revelation!

  by solo in

  2. friends

  this is my first post and what a revelation this site has been to me (excuse the pun) if only this had been available when i walked away from the "truth" in 1987, it would have made life a lot more bearable for me.. i was brought up a jw and was baptized at 14 because i thought it was the right thing to do, endured a very strict upbringing combined with the dreadful routines of worship, study and door knocking.

  we were deprived of any enjoyment (tv, friends, outings, fun, etc).

  education was a bit of a disruption, having moved to where the need was greater our schooling was interrupted so many times we never made any friends.

  Free labor! That's all it is. I would have never thought of it this way if I was still in. Amazing how they are able to get something for nothing and make it look like it the theocratic thing to do.

  I had a couple of drink's before a turn 21 with a few of the friends. They would be like coolers or a weak mixed drink. But they always mad me call my mom first, and ask if it was okay. Depending on who I was with, she would say yeah, okay. I never drunk around people who wouldn't take care of me or I thought I would get in trouble with. But I knew alot of young witness who drank like they were 21 and were under 18

  Thaks for the words of caution Mkr.

  I never said it couldn't happened but alot of times kids DO, provoke the dog. And I'm not saying YOURS did. Regardless of how sweet I think she is, she is still an animal. She does not reason like we do. So I would NEVER put anything past her, but I won't lump all dogs together because of what a few do. And I do appreciate your counsel Mkr. It reminds me to remember what I just wrote.

  How old was your akita when this happened? I noticed you have two little girls. Do you think your akita was jealous? I do worry about how she will react to a baby that is a permnant fixture in the house and that get's more attention than her.

  Had she been trained? I ask this because I'm thinking of taking her back for more training, just to stay on top of things. I'm kinda of a pushover and I know I must always remain alpha with this breed.
