There was a faith healer from Deale

Who said, Although pain isn't real

If with a pin I puncture my skin

I dislike what I fancy I feel.

Would you warn a woman of an abusive man?

by cognac in

my ex was very abusive.. he has a girlfriend.

i don't know her.

do you think i should say anything to her?.

Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit

I would. Without accusing her, without giving advice, then split. Got police reports, hospital records?

I'd do it. It's hard enough for a woman to believe in herself when in an abusive relationship, maybe someday she'll have you to thank.

Late Model Toyota For Sale

i told a friend that i had just seen a late model toyota down the road, in front of a house, with a price marked on it of only $900!

well, hasn't the watchtower told us for over a hundred years that 'the end' is just a little farther down the road?

and then they were mad at me for asking the simple question, 'i don't want to appear to be disrespectful, but are you guys sure you know what you're talking about?

Good one. No shit huh!?

Why do the majorityof JW's look so happy at the hall?

by JH in

each time i go, i see a bunch of happy people, young and old.

some smile more than others, but just about everyone seems happy to be there.. maybe we left because we weren't that happy, rather than finding flaws in the religion.. maybe they look happy because they aren't allowed to look sad..

they smoke pot in the parking lot.

Deluded Witnesses - View Themselves as Temporary " Alien Residents"

by flipper in

jw

when we were once jehovah's witnesses , and after we left jehovah's witnesses,this organization controls it's rank and file members to view themselves as " temporary residents" who are waiting for a better world to live in the future , and are told to not put too much faith or stock in this world because it has nothing to offer them .

in this way the watchtower society controls the individual witnesses view of living towards the future, but not for today - in the real world.

ways that the watchtower society does this is as follows .

Good thread. Well put.

It's also why they can end relationships with their own kids.

'joehoohoo will make it all ok in candy land and we'll live forever, he'll make the painful memory of our kids leaving 'the troof go away.'
