This Tired, Lonely Man

by compound complex in

this tired, lonely man has been snared, but i protest little .

she holds me tenderly in her tightening but welcome thrall.

i cave willingly -- oh, so willingly -- to her amatory attentions.

Move I forward, of plodding, deliberate step;
yet no further have I traveled that dusty road
that leads to the end of all ends, that heaven,
that hell our divines did promise us believers.

There is an episode on murder in a Masonic Lodge where the "Great Architect" is mentioned: God.

That term has been used in WT literature not that far back.

Hooked on Murdoch -- love the chemistry among the four principals:

"And what have you, Constable Crabtree?"

"Well, sir, let's agree to disagree . . ."

"Have you ever heard me use a scientific term, Murdoch?" queries Chief Inspector Thomas Charles Brackenreid.

Lies taught by the GB about ....Life, Worldy people & apostates

by williamhconley in

the governing body not only lies to it's members about their true history but also about life itself, worldly people and former members.. here are some of those lies that come to my mind.. .

"jw's are the happiest people on earth" -.

fact: depression, anxiety, fear of punishment, paranoia, is what jw's live with every day.

Thank you, Brother Conley, for information from the "top."

Good morning, dear Kate:

Take it slow, take it easy. A good conversationalist is a good listener!

friends

i am not a jehovah's witness but i am very interested, i have many questions and hope they can be answered here.. i do believe in god, privately.

i do say my prayers daily and do believe god helps me in countless ways.

but i don't go to any church.. i have always been impressed at how smart, polite and nice jehovah's witnesses are and i always make time to speak to them when they call at my door.

Welcome, LillyC, to the forum!

Best wishes.

Do any ex JW' s/ God believer's, Agnostics or Atheists believe in Karma? And WHY?

by rip van winkle in

just reading a thread and the mention of karma popped up.

( it happens, lol).

a lot of people believe in karma: what goes around comes around.. some months ago, while on another exjw site, karma was mentioned and i thought it a little odd, as they are atheist.

Hi rip:

I like K in movies and in literature, but I have learned to separate reality, as I perceive it, from fantasy, as I or other writers imagine it.

Nice topic!

Pushing the JW.ORG

by Etude in

i took these pictures over a month ago.

i had not realized that they were really pushing their site.

this was at our farmers market, although they were not officially in the market area but off the side on the sidewalk.. .

I'm curious -- doesn't the use of of literature trolleys/carts further justify the need for SUVs to transport them, removing the back seat formerly occupied by flesh-and-blood publishers? Couldn't fit the contraption into the back of your coupe or convertible, and tossing it in the back of your pickup truck/lorry would be unseemly . . .
