Since I left...

by RollerDave in

since i left.... so there i was, a disabled single dad bereft of all he had known or believed for 30 years.. i had moved a good 45 minutes away from the area where the events in my introductory post went down, but was now living in an area where i had resided some ten years earlier and still had a few stale connections with the organization.. i was lonely, depressed, pissed off, and really disgusted with the god i had been shown in my years of unfruitful association.. in my mind, he had made me the way i am, which apparently entailed being unable to meet his 'righteous requirements', and was going to kill me for it.

he had endowed all of us with a natural human nature (apart from our fallen sinful nature,) and now expected us to conquer our every natural impulse or desire, even the healthy ones, to survive the big a.. hold off on marriage or kids, no college, no success, no normalcy... the big a'll get ya if ya don't watch out!.

so i railed against him, defied him to just take me, do anything to show he even existed or had any power at all.. i went around saying 'god is an a$$h*le' and the like, but then i realized something that shook my world..... i was just as much a witness outside the organization as i had been inside!.

Final Thought About Atheism

The wanderer....

It seems that you really meant it when you headed this subject "Final Thought About Atheism". After your first post on this subject you stopped thinking.

paranormal phenomena, or of phenomena which appear to be paranormal.[1] The term is based on the Greek para (beside/beyond), psyche (soul/mind), and logos (account/explanation) and was coined by psychologist Max Dessoir in or before 1889.

Paranormal phenomena by defenition is beyond explanation. Why suggest that something unexplainable is real??? If such phenomena were proven by scientific methodology it would leave the realm of paranormal and become a fact based science.

Paranormal phenomena is still unexplainable and may or may not exist in the real world. I personally am comfotable in saying that I really don't know!!!

Why can't you do the same???

CROTCHTOWER : SHOULD CHRISTIANS ANSWER RHETORICAL QUESTIONS?

by Terry in

crotchtower april 4,2007 .

should christians answer rhetorical questions?

what does the bible say?

jimbo

Nice factual artice!~!

But quoting the Cowboys vs Broncos? That's a pretty low blow. JW's are not even supposed to watch football so how can they comprehend such a quote.

Several of those long sentences lost me. Other than several inacuracies it was a pretty self explanatory post.

jimbo

P.S. Keep up the good work and you may be rectuited as a WTBS writer.

Night Rider

by LittleToe in

well that was an interesting journey!

i just got home after riding home from a friend's house, where i'd been helping them with a little decorating.

it is a clear and beautiful night, so i thought i would open her up a little, but neglected to look at the speedo.... ...until i hit a short piece of undulating piece of road and found the front wheel wobbling.

Several near misses! One not a miss and most memorable was hitting a 500/600 lb calf on open range at 60/70 mph. I saw the calf leave the road and cross the bar pit, so I started to resume speed to 80/90 when something spooked it and it ran on to the highway directly in front of me. I locked both brakes and went into a slide before the impact. Must have also turned slightly to the left because the impact was on the right side of my bike and my right leg. (Impact left hide an hair on leg and bike.) The impact with the calf straighted my course some how and after several wobbles, I was able to completely stop. The calf was airborn for about 15 ft. and after several minutes got up and wandered away. Before impact everything appeared to be in slow motion and I visualized myself bouncing down the asphalt with severe injurys. Thankfully it didn't happen as I visualized and I only had a bruised leg and my bike had several bent assesories. The driver of an oncoming pick-up also slammed on his brakes and skidded to a stop, got out and asked if I was ok. Then he commented that I was a lucky SOB. It was probably a stupid moment. (That stupid calf could have been seriously injured.) jimbo (happy riding!)

Watchtower--NGO With WANGO!

watchtower--ngo with wango!

if the watchtower society truly believes in a "new world" then why are they joining organizations that are attempting to make this old one better?

activitieswango is unique in regularly bringing together a prestigious, international leadership of non-governmental organizations, as well as other prominent leaders, representing diverse nations, perspectives, and realms of activity, and who are integrally involved in advancing world peace and creating a better society and world.

jimbo

Hello all!

Who said that AuldSoul stole a wrist watch??? What country did that alleged incident occur in?? Was that correct information??

On a more serious note WTBS and Wango.... Probably not. AuldSoul stole a wrist watch...Probably not.

One question that troubles me. Someone intimated that The Watchtower under other of their corporate names in other countries also became associate members of the UN's DPI. Is that true??? Can that be docmnented???

Perhaps I should ask this in another thread. But if anyone knows please let me know. Thank You!!!
