  2. friends

  as most of you know i live in the wilderness..my ranch house has a nice big front window.so it`s like a giant tv screen tuned to the nature channel.....right now i have a beautiful deer in front of it.shes a gold colour with bits of yellow in her coat,and a white tail and bum.she`s grazing peacefully,flicking her tail now and again.chewing on fiberous desert plants that will soon be burned off by the desert sun next month..when that happens she will eat hay left out for the cattle..or..graze on plants that have been shaded by the abundant pine trees here.....behind her some 50ft away,are a family of groundhogs.all standing like little soldiers,by the caves and tunnels they have dug for thier home..i left peanuts in the shell,out for them.they didn`t know what to do with them..lol!

  !..so i opened a few and left a few in the shell..it took me a few days..but..i taught the groundhogs how to get the peanut out of the shell..lol!

  !.....there`s a hawk that lives here.he`s in charge of groundhog population control,now that "squirrell eat`n dawg" is gone.....oop`s!..

  I've been studying with JW's for a few months..

  by MichaelM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been studying with the jw's for a few months and i've attended a few meetings but things are feeling somewhat strange...i don't quite get the jist of things but i feel that i'm learning more of what the watchtower teachers and less of what the bible actually says.. i never open my bible.. i'm always reading the watchtower pamphlets.

  i really like the people i've met in the congregation and the guy thats been doing the studies with me has been an awesome friend.. .

  but i'm just having some issues.. i mean.. they translated their own bible to suit their own doctrines it seems.

  Sincere?..Bible-Believers-Can Your Beliefs Be Supported Without The Bible?

  by nvrgnbk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does your real-life experience and what you observe in nature lead you to the same conclusions that are presented as fact in the bible?

  .

  or do you believe because of the power of suggestion?.

  Affirmative arguments for the non-existence of Jesus

  by WhatSexRU in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was just reading a thread on this forum called saviors of the world?.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/136105/1.ashx.

  that thread discussed similarities between the various saviors, or messiahs that are said to have walked the earth, most of them appearing long before jesus supposedly emerged.

  Life lost

  by Phil in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have previously posted on the subject of finding people who could help me get some testimonials from experienced jws who have been shunned by friends and family.

  this was my way of getting my daughter to wake up to the realities of what is going on with the organization she is associated with.

  much to my sadness, i have been notified by her husband that she died this morning of lung cancer.

  Hymn of the Naasenes / Ophite poem

  by DeusMauzzim in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  good morning everyone,.

  since we were talking about gnosticism a bit last night i decided to post one of the only remaining ophite texts, 'the hymn of the naasenes'.. basic info: the ophites/naasenes were a gnostic sect that worshipped the serpent as the bringer of gnosis/knowledge to adam and eve by suggesting to take the fruit.

  as in all gnosticism jehovah/yahweh/yaldabaoth/saklas(fool) /samael (blind god) is the evil demiurge of this world, the bad guy of the story.. this particular hymn deals with the fallen aeon sophia/wisdom.

  I am going to TRY and leave JWD for the time being!

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am an addict.

  and that is one good reason to back off some.

  but the overriding reason is that my nerves have been frayed lately by the actions of a hidden 'stalker', a jw who is hiding behind a cyber-curtain.
