  Perfection

  by purplesofa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was talking to a friend of mine about perfection last night.. he made a comment that there was no way to have perfection, unless you made one thing and set that as perfect.

  everything after that would be a copy and otherwise would always in some way fall short of perfect, the original creation.

  we were talking about art.. and then he made a comment that god did not create us perfectly.

  pixel. Exactly! When I left I did elementary (I didn't have a lot of time) search on JW subjects that bugged me, "perfection" as a whip and a carrot being one of them. As I recall, aside from a subjective one off comment regarding perfection, there is no promise/provision of whatever JW "perfection" in the Bible.

  It was another brick in the wall for me. Funny though as I recall, when I would bring it up...NOBODY wanted to discuss it. Perhaps a hard thing to let go of? I could never buy the concept...it just didn't work in my brain.

  although tomo's human hotdogs was as low as an alleged human could verbally go, tomo's fear-mongering was not an official video.. i'm wagering that the feb 2016 video will be pulled or adjusted.. what do you think, trash?.

  It's awful. I hate the way they talk down to people. It's insulting.

  I love the way they speak for "god." "Jehovah doesn't this..." "Jehovah doesn't that..."

  Some thoughts on the new midweek meeting

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  the new midweek meeting has been running for a month now.

  here are my thoughts on how it is going so far:.

  1) elders are looking frazzled from being on virtually every meeting and having to prepare unfamiliar formats for items.

  I'm so glad you posted about this.

  I just talked with my brother who told me he is the chairman, and wondered if I was aware of the new meeting arrangement. I didn't know what he meant by "chairman", and I certainly was NOT going to ask for any information. I just said I was aware and that any change that would make it easier on the brothers was good, and that with technology advancements, it makes sense to use them. Of course he said he was excited about the arrangement...but you know...whatever.

  So I was wondering what other people thought about it. Good timing. Thanks for the OP.

  Honestly, Did Jehovah's Witnesses Do Anything POSITIVE For You?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i was raised as a witness and am very thankful that i am out.

  having said that, i think my upbringing produced positive qualities in me.

  do you believe that anything positive came from your being a witness?

  Did you KNOW Ray and Cynthia or the legal copyright holder? Only a few maybe had limited contact.

  by blondie in

  2. friends

  i have known all of them over the last 15 years, talked at length with them, and knew what their wishes were, the copyright holder and spouse spent even more time with them socially and helping them set up their arrangements for when ray and cynthia passed.

  i don't believe that anyone else on this board or others was a confidant.

  there is no need to prove it to anyone but the copyright office which is satisfied with this.

  Finally posting and I'm FRUSTRATED!!!

  okay, i'm about to engage in a major word vomit.

  just giving you fair warning as your time may be better spent somewhere else.. so, i'm sitting on my lunch break, bawling my eyes out, and writing on this forum to people i don't know yet probably have a great deal in common with but at the same time, used to scare the daylights out of me.

  for years, i would come across this forum and 'lurk' awhile if you will, or see things on youtube.

  What a great story you shared with us. Thank you and welcome.

  I'm so glad you were moved to investigate and research. Typically, that is all it takes...a niggle, a question...a feeling of indignation at the terrible treatment of us and everybody. Then with the internet...you can find whatever information you need to make a choice in how you want to live your life.

  Welcome to the dark side...we have cookies.
