  god's pharmacy is amazing!.

  it's been said that god first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human.

  god made and provided what we'd need before we were born.

  Smurfs????????

  by cantleave in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  every now and then i come across comical references to smurfs in posts on this site, i have been in the org all my life and never heard of any demonisation of father abraham's little blue imaginary friends, even when they they hit the uk top ten singles chart.

  can someone enlighten me of what was said, where and when?

  maybe i missed it because i was more concerned about kiss using an ouija board in plane or axel rose being anagram of oral sex!!!

  I haven't checked the link posted yet to know if this is mentioned, but I remember hearing also how one family took one out to burn it and the doll wouldn't burn and it got up and walked out of the burning barrel. Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

  You can imagine how scared and yet interested I was when my mom took all our smurf items, even stickers out to the burning barrell and set them on fire. Mine didn't jump out. But I sure looked like a crazy person as I explained to the kids at school why I couldn't watch them on T.V. or take that cute sticker they were trying to share with me. I'll never forget that look my friend gave me as I told her that story at school! I laugh now. I should ask her if she remembers that! LOL! We were in 5th grade at the time.

  Confessed my Doubts to my Wife

  by cantleave in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well - i today i had the opportunity to tell my wife i no longer believe in the things that i have spent my life immersed in and that i didn't want my life run by 9 geriatrics in brooklyn.. her reaction was understandable her first questions was "what have you been reading"?.

  i didn't mention this site but told her i was shocked by something i heard regarding the wts's ngo status with the un, dissapointed by the new light on the generation and disturbed by the flip flopping on blood fractions.

  i explained how these things were at best hypocritical and at worst have meant some people have lost their lives unnecessarily because of the societies previous position.

  Congratulations!

  Keep it sincere and calm and pray about it. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you in what God is really teaching you. Let it lead you and know it may take her more time than it does you to see these things. At least it did me. Hubby saw things more quickly and more logically. I was more emotionally trapped. His logic helped me reason on things and not hide back behind the Watchtower because of fear.

  Those were excellent questions you asked her. Her answers were wonderful and very revealing. She's evidently had doubts too. That's great. She is using her logic and not letting fear conquer her. She is strong and has courage. So do you. Don't ever forget that!

  sleepless in seatle....dance your ass off....

  watching one of my all time fave movies on oxygen channel......the soundtrack is my fave of all movies btw.....but the entire time it is on there is an ad in white in the bottom right corner that says.... dance your ass off.

  now dont get me wrong....i cuss like a sailor compared to when i was a goodie two shoes dubbie.......but it did make me think that as a kid that was a "bad" word.....you could get in trouble at school for using it.......prob even if referring to a farm animal.....and now here it is on the tv screen for an entire movie???.

  anyway....it is bugging me......oompa.

  It bothers me too Oompa.

  Trying to raise kids that don't swear and watch disgusting movies is a real challenge today. The commercials are enough to give nightmares and scar their little minds and hearts! I hate that about TV. I hate having a commercial interrupting the show as they dance a time and people from the other show across the bottom of the screen. Intentionally breaking your concentration and messing up the picture.

  I hate that ABC advertises themselves as the "new family". I hate their "family" ideas. They are so corrupt and show no morals or values in their shows. I miss the days of "ALF", "Cosby" and "Home Improvement". There is nothing out there for "traditional family" television. I sure am not going to have my daughter watch a show about a pregnant 16 year old! Not the values I want instilled.

  I can't believe the way kids talk and act. The movies that their parents let them go to. We went to a *gasp* rated R movie for the first and only time over a year ago. There were so many little kids around 6 to 9 there I couldn't believe it. No wonder my kids have problems with terrible kids in their schools. Their parents are encouraging it. It's sad. So sad that they think it's alright to offend any and everyone with their obscenities.

  I may cuss enough to make a sailor blush at times...but I try not to do it in front of children or other people. I don't think the cat really counts...so he gets to hear it!

  ARE INDIVIDUAL BOOK STUDIES DONE IN KH OR AT HOME?

  If you are referring to Bible Studies with non-believers...they can be done almost anywhere.

  Most are done in the persons home, some are done at the home of the JW, some are in the Kingdom Hall, or the public library. It really depends on what the "householder" wants.

  An example of why they may be conducted other than the person's home is: the person studying may have an abusive spouse who doesn't want them to study. They will make an excuse to "go to the library" and have their study there.

  as a young adult, i did many stupid things in my life, including becoming a jw.

  however, that decision only hurt myself and not others.

  i was ignorant and to a certain extent fooled.

  i was baptised at 15 basically against my will (by cracking under the pressure) but only truly broke out of the drone like mindswhen i was 17. since then its been totall choas in my life all of it stemming from the orginization of course.

  my parents are the defenition of brainwashed wittnesses, my father even belives he is anointed.. after i got baptised i suffered from intense deppression and with a little soul searching, after a year i realized that i need some time for my self.

  Good to meet you! Thank you for posting!

  The first post really does take a lot of courage! Good for you. It means you are taking the initial steps to move forward.

  You are so young and have so much ahead of you. You are very fortunate to have found your way out and start adulthood off well. I am sorry you may experience being pushed out of the "nest" at home. But it may be to your advantage and peace in the end.

  If you still believe in God, do not believe their lies when they say you "are leaving" him! That just isn't true at all!

  I wish you all the best with your future and the present situation you are in! Looking forward to hearing more from you!

  is it the same for everyone who is an ex witness?

  do we all go to bed every night of our lives detached for the human experience at a level the vast majority take for granted and enjoy everyday?

  i sometimes think my inability to love was switched off at such a young age i am incapable of letting anyone else in.

  To a point, I can relate. I feel the ability to love, but not the skill to reach out and make connections. I am trying. I feel warped and paralyzed that way. I feel like I need a re-boot so to speak of my friendship making skills. They were suppressed as a child with "everyone being evil" and all.

  With family shunning, especially my mother, I do go to bed every night with sadness. That makes me feel detached. When the one person in the world that should be there, turns on you...it really leaves a cold empty hollow in your soul. Almost swallowing you at times.

  I am sorry you feel this way. Give yourself time, and keep mind over matter! Keep reasoning with yourself what is the right course you should take. Have courage and hope. And take your time.
