  one of my best friends ever, an elder of many years had a problem a long time ago (early in elder arrangement).

  his wife was very uninterested in bedroom activity, and he just happend to know of some ladies in the hall with a similar problem with their husbands.

  a perfect fit.

  Good advice yes. But since when does this fine JWD forum believe that living a lie is the best route, because someone may be temporarily upset by facts.

  It may be unfair for the child (sound like he's grown by now) to not know the truth. There is a slim possibility of medical problems that could require the truth of his father's identity, like if he needs a transplant, or needs to know family history esp if his real father is dead and at what age.

  I guess I would say that TRUTH and HONESTY are everything, without them, we have nothing.

  Even though we really quit attending out of disgust for the elders and some flock, when we starting reading Ray Franz' book and learned that everything we were taught as kids stemmed from conspiracy and the need to control the flock, it was sad, angering and dismaying, like the bottom fell out of the first 35 years of our lives, we had been robbed. Now we're just angry. Sad about out families, but truly angry.

  (Great topic btw)

  I've made up my mind :-)

  hi everyone, don't know if you remember me, i posted a topic a while ago because i was in need of advice about what to do in my life - so to all you who took your time and posted caring replys and good advice, i just want to say that i've made up my mind - i'm continuing my fade for the fourth month and i'm gone from the borg for good.

  if some elders decide to stick their nose in it, i'll shut the door myself.

  there's no future in staying in there for the sake of anyone else, lying to yourself and everyone else.

  That's strong, Redbeard! Well put, and good job. It takes time to figure out that your life, is YOUR life, and LIFE is too precious to be left under the control of self-serving men.

  Glad you're here!!!

  I'd say: Well brother, 2 Cor 4:4 does say that 'god of this system of things has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot understand the truth of God's word', so you really shouldn't blame just yourself. And then I'd say that God's word the Holy Bible also says that 'perfect love throws fear outside', so once you really accept the truth of the Bible ONLY, the blinders come off and you can understand the scriptures and feel and reflect the love of God without fear, knowing that you can live forever in paradise on earth, united in worship of the only true god under God's kingdom of 1000 years and other book titles..

  Then I'd say: Short story, bro, you're deluded and therefore trapped, snap out of it human.

  Funny how their own words and the bible itself condemns them. And, funny how I thought I forgot everything I used to teach people, must. . .try. . .argh. . .harder to. . .forget.

  Do You Recognize Your Baptism?

  i was promised that this generation would no means pass away.

  (live forever book, pg.

  154) i brought this up, although it has probably been discussed before, because i am sure some people right now are worrying how to handle an elder's visit or call.

  Last night we went ahead with our DA letter NOW because. . .

  i spoke to my niece yesterday back home and she is getting married in april 08 to a non jw, she was baptized at 15 and has faded well.

  her mother, my evil oldest sister, has told her that she will not be attending nor is she interested in offering support of any kind and i was furious; my husband and i were both enraged enough to add a lot about their evil shunning practice to our already-written letter, and the hate with which they practice it.

  it made the break truly feel completely natural and right, right now, and to quote their evil songbook, now's the time to prove we're true!!!.

  JW Science Quote Of The Day 9-3

  by TD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw science blunders arent always the result of misunderstanding the working principles of the phenomenon being discussed.

  sometimes theyre simply the result of not properly researching a secular quote that dovetails with the worldview of the jw leadership.

  todays jw science quote of the day is a good example: .

  Shameful. The rank and file aren't allowed to do additional research, aka, read the NY Times, and the WTS knows that 99% of them don't feel the need to. So sad. Yes, it is rather fear-inducing isn't it! Repent, the end is nigh!!!

  that is, letter of disassociation and denunciation, i like that word.

  .in person in the door of one of our ex-elders and via email to him and a few others.

  there was an added level of peace in doing that, which neither of us expected.
