Got a question and tell me what you think....
by Flowerpetal inok, i'm going back some 40 years into the organization so some of you may or may not have heard this.
i remember in my jw life, at different conventions/assemblies when the speakers would be talking about things related to the paradise earth.
they would always say, "if you pictured yourself there, then you will no doubt be there.".

I'm agnostic for the sole reason that I can't proove any religion wrong.
Sure, I *think* they're wrong, and will never serve any of them, but that doesn't make me right. -

Just noticed something odd:
Outlaw: Post 4838 of 4839
unclebruce: Post 4837 of 4839
Anyways...
This forum's purpose is whatever you want it to be. Saddness, fear, hate, and many other emotions can be shared by all. It helps comfort those in need of a shoulder to cry on.
And then there's apostate stuff :P . -

They say money is the root of all evil.
It goes deeper than that.
Selfishness is the root of 'most' evil.
I say most because, even though one person sees something as evil, another does not.
A person that washes thier hands with antibacterial soap could be considered evil. They killed millions of bacteria.
And there is unintentional evil, such as Bush bombing innocent civilians. It is up to the people wronged whether it was evil, or a complete accident.
Mental illness can play a part. A psychopath might kill someone, and not realize it's wrong.
Personally, I think any harm done to another human being, and especially killing them, is evil. If it was an accident, you can be forgiven. And if it was in self defense, or in the defense of another, it can be forgiven.
But devil? I doubt if there was, he would have thought up nuclear bombs... -

JW restrictions on sex, lead to over hype that made sex disappointing.
by free2beme ini remember being a teenager and my hormones were on overdrive.
the young witnesses i knew, male and female, were all feeling the same thing.
we would bring up sex, in one form or another, all the time.

Please don't tell me it's *THAT* bad...
I won't be having sex any time soon.... I'm not even sure how to go about getting a girl freind...
But I have enough control over myself not to jump in bed with the first girl I meet, restrictions or not.
Disapointing? I sure hope not! -

What were you praying about before you left the JWs?
by MegaDude ini was earnestly praying to serve jehovah and give him my all.. in short order i found i was heading toward the unthinkable.
i was on my way out of the watchtower and the only life i had ever known.
pretty ironic.

Raising well rounded and balanced kids...what have you done right?
by My MILs worst nightmare, a nonJW inparenting is one of the most difficult yet rewarding things there is.
doesn't every parent want their children to have a good moral compass, to have good manners, to be socially adept, to be compassionate, to reach their potential and even overachieve in terms of school and career, to appreciate and understand history, science, the arts and the world as a whole, to play team sports when they are younger so they can benefit from physical activity and the comraderie of a team sport, and above all to be a critical thinkers who are strong and independent so that they will not become easy prey to abusive organizations and/or abusive people?.
as a parent i have many times felt like a real failure and at other times like i am actually helping them to reach their potential.. what do you feel that you have done right in raising well rounded and balanced kids?

Now here's me thinking ahead...
I'm hoping for a daughter (don't ask why, because I don't know.)
What I want to know is, How do I keep her away from boys!?
I just so happen to know EXACTLY what boys want, seeing as how I am one. I'm just lucky I'm 16, and have present day experience I guess.
So ironic. -

Mom nearly ate me alive!
by Anony-Mouse inwe had a major talk about jws today.
i couldn't use the un or pedophiles, as this is 'outside' information, and she would never belive me.
then she would question my source, and i'd be killed by elder firing squad.

"Anony-mouse you are really cute."
Why, thank you :P .
"1) does she know you are online?"
No. I kinda let slip that I had been looking at info online. I didn't realise that 'wikipedia' sounds like 'wiccanpedia' to the untrained ear. She probably thought I was looking at doom spells :P . So she changed the password on me. It was easy enough to change it back, get a keylogger, let her try to sign on, then change it back.
"If you think hispanic is a race your way off on evolution."
Oops :P . Maybe I was thinking more along the lines of a group of people. There are many spanish descended people in south america and north america.
"f the WTS is wrong about this date,607, then 1914 is wrong, 1919 is wrong, Christ didn't start ruling in heaven, no faithfull and discrete slave at this time, the whole premise crumbles."
She will claim the WT is correct, and everyone else is wrong. It always is....
"The line of Egyptian kings we no of date back more than 4000 years
The number of animals that could fit on the ark was very limited, once accounting for a years supply of food and water as well.
How did marsupials get to Australia. Did Koalas paddle across in canoes. Somehow they got to Aus in 4000 years without living traces and children in other countries.
There are volcanic ash mountains in France that are millions of years old. A global flood would have washed the ash away.
No wooden boat the size of an ark has or could be made as its size twists too much and would leak."
I like these. I told her that once history started getting recorded, life spans dropped to normal. As if they were never so long. But that australian thign is great, I never thought of it. I knew about the boat thing, I belive it's called hogging. The ark would split in half without an actual boat shape, along with some special ribs inside the hull.
Never heard of them...I wonder why :P. But I did some math. My uncle said at a door today that every house in the world will get the KN37 message. But only 300 million of 6.5 billion actually will. And that's if everything worked out perfect, and it never does.
"Can God lie?
Look at the masthead on page 4 of any AWAKE from 1989 until 1994.
It reads, "the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new order before the generation that saw the events of 1914 C.E. passes away."
Now, look at the masthead on page 4 of any AWAKE from 1996 until present.
It reads, "the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new world that is about to replace the present wicked, lawless system of things.""
She will go nuts about the 'light getting brighter'. I can't get past it, because she never will. It's the one thing keeping thier religion alive. I used a variation of that once.
People kept saying that 'God was making sure they were faitful.' But it says that god will not test you. And if he said that, he can't be lying.
