  This is a truly disgusting thread especially considering I am a bit of a clean freak. I bleach and sanitize everything.

  The Watchtower and Conditional Morality

  by Stephanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking about the conditional nature of "love" in the 'tower, when i realised that "conditionality" is pretty well the nature of the beast.

  hence "conditional morality".

  for example, the rules on lying: that witholding the truth from undeserving ones is not wrong.. what other examples are there?.

  I am particularly fond of they reasoning that basicly anything is fair game as long as it's in the interest of "spiritual warfare". They use that as a get out of jail free card alot.

  ok, help me out people, what would you do if you knew that someone from your home had stolen money from you?

  today i was going to go to the bank till i realized that i was missing 240.00, i know this money was in my purse because i put it there on wed night, i know i did not lose it because i have not touched my wallet in as long.

  i also have not been out anywhere so i could not have misplaced the money.

  how many find that they need or want to be on the forum at least once a day?

  do you like keeping up with fellow posters and friends or do like being able to give your thoughts without the fear of being criticized?

  i look at some of the amounts that some have posted wow and i am no better for only being here less than a month, it is a great place to talk and get loads of wisdom from others on a variety of subjects, thanks everyone for the thoughtful expressions and heartfelt posts.. abr.

  let's share some positive experiences.

  I don't think it is really possible for any of us that have grown up in a cult to really be "normal" or thinking no matter how hard we try will always be a little different

  Voodoo and New Orleans

  a few years ago i was in new orleans for a business trip and took some time to check out the area.

  very humid, not my cup of tea and i was glad i was only there for two days.

  anyway, there is a strong amount of connections in the city with voodoo.

  I have been curious about alot of things and just don't know where to begin. One of the things that made me realize that jw are basically brainwashed by wts is hypnotism. I decided to read a book on it that I purchased at barnes and noble simply to inform myself about it. My wife at that time freaked out and told various family members so they could talk me out of it. Every single jw I talked to about it respond in exectly the same manner even using the same words in exactly the same way like they were robots. It was actually quite creepy. It was at that point that I really started looking deeper.

  What do you think the biggest danger to the end of mankind or earth is?

  by free2beme in

  2. friends

  i love watching shows on the history channel, discovery channel and so on.

  they had this program on the other day, on the ten biggest threats to mankind and the planet earth.

  surprisingly, none of the items on the list were god destroying mankind or the earth, so that must be further evidence that the witnesses were wrong, go to college now and retire.
