who cares?.

the first time i was in distress with the watchtower, i was fortunate to find this place.

my ego thought ,i was somehow special, that my posts were reaching a worldwide audience, and most of all i felt at ease, maybe home is a better word.

Never a JW. I came here about 1 year 4 months ago to figure out what JW was all about other then those people who could not read the Absolutely No Soliciting sign at my front door and to figure out the sudden bizarre turn in behavior after 5 years in the "Elder". He never talked about his religion.

I have learned a lot on this site and jw facts. The ARC was the real eye opener for me. My heart goes out to each of you who have been hurt by this cult. For me I will be here to learn what is going on in the borg, how children and women continue to be abused. I appreciate the Sophie and Caleb videos being shown over here since I refuse to go to the official JW site. I find these videos to be emotional abuse and just reminds me that if I do encounter a JW that talking about ARC is extremely important.

I have suffered from a lot of abuse in my life so I advocate against both against children and women's abuse and neglect. This has made me a very strong and determined woman.

Bringing children into this System of Things.

by Nihilistic Journey in

before i left a number of years ago i remember getting bombarded with the message that we shouldn't have children as it wasn't fair to them.

they would have to grow as conditions got worse during the end.

is there anything in the literature or was this just through talks.

I know for a fact that the "Elder" was hopping MAD at his son and dil because just before our blow up my son, his son, and my best gf daughter all announced within 1 week that all 3 of us were going to all be grandparents again. His comment was how could they possibly consider doing this when we are so close to the end of this system. Oh he was so mad, he ranted on and on. That was when he was also ranting continually about Satan like every other word. It was becoming obnoxious. These 3 kids are about to turn 2 years old. The end is Soooo soon. Just around the next corner. Yeap, said that 140 years ago too.

i'am nervous as hell when i'am on the.

Neither does my 24 year old daughter, she finally got her SUV up to 50. Now her bf stole her keys saying have you seen her drive a car? My reply yeap that is why I always drive when we are always together. The really sad part is my gf attempted to teach her to drive, her report back to me after several attempts was some people are destined for public transportation. My gf is head of the regional FBI driver training center. Otherwise my daughter is a dean's list student with the biggest heart.

James Mixon you should try I95 in VA during the summer on a weekend (not) ! Top speed from about 12 noon on Friday till some where around 10 pm Sunday is 25 mph most of the stopped just simply a parking lot. Traffic remains bumper to bumper. When I moved to Florida my son told his girlfriend I bet it will be awhile before mom gets used to driving on the interstate cause she is so used to avoiding them. LOL

The Christian GOD / Old Testament GOD , one and the same right? A GOD of Love ?

by smiddy in

and god is the same today as he was yesterday and will be the same tomorrow.. in other words he is unchangeable.. what a bloodthirsty god he was in the old testament., at his command killing old men young men women and children by the sword , a two edged sword i might add in some cases.cutting both ways.. put yourself in that situation for a minute , either as a victim or the executioner.

can you imagine piercing some other human with a two edged sword ?

especially if they were a child ?

Cofty,

I sincerely apology for the extra letter in your name, I suffer from extreme migraines and if spell check does not correct it I am out of luck.

Who said God was perfect?

Did he create every person perfect? We are all individuals thankfully.

They are trying to find cures for viruses. What caused the virus in the first place?

Stuckinarut2,

I agree with you. I do not believe in that part of the Bible. We should love all the children they are our future. All this hatred in the Bible toward children is just ugly. I am sure that is not God'said words.

Crofty,

The earth is not perfect but science is getting better as is medicine and we or possibly the next generation will see the day that they can predict and can warn people to get out of harms way as they now do with the hurricanes.

It is very sad when natural disasters occur and we all reach out through our organizations and help as best we can to assist those in need. I have spent countless hours and donated large sums of money when these things have happened.

The Bible verses you quoted are those that I do believe in strongly.

I was not blaming the victims. I was saying when humans do things in the past like build cities on earthquake fault lines then an earthquake occurs people blame God for the deaths. People get cancer from asbestos, drinking water that has lead in it and blame God.

Why did God allow this to happen? What I am saying that is not right. Humans built that city, God did not build the city, did God design asbestos, did God put lead in my drinking water that caused my cancer NO. Then why everytime there is a natural disaster or someone gets sick the first reaction is why did God allow this to happen?

By the way I believe in God, but am beginning not to believe in the Bible because I feel it was written by men and is not the word of God. The God I believe in loves ALL his children equally and wants them treated equally whether they are very young, male or female.

Health, fitness and recovery advice

by SecretSlaveClass in

i hope this is okay with you simon, but since i've noticed the number of forum members looking to discuss or seek advice on various health issues i thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to this topic alone.

any discussions or advice on these matters could be put here where any and all would be welcome to jump in with any help they could offer.

i am working on the first questions at the moment taken from the cognac/morpheus weight loss thread.

SSC,

We know what causes my migraines. I have had them all my life and I just live them, we just are trying to control the level of them. The cause we also know stress, environment, fragrance, chemicals, some foods (beans, yogurt, dark cheeses, wines, processed foods, etc), dyes and the list goes on. My kids call my house the free and clear zone. LOL.

I like your suggestion on the exercise and will start looking for some to try.

Smoothies maybe tempting. Thanks for the advice.
