My condolences
this is one of the sadest days in my life, my beloved husband marco passed away this morning at 5:15 am.. it has been a dreadful day.
but my dear friend was with most of the day while we went togerther to make funeral arrangements.. that was really hard on me.
i have done nothing but cry and cry all day, i finally fell asleep a few hours ago while my friend diane was here and she let me sleep.
I'm sorry for you (((( OFC ))))
My condolences
i've met some wonderful friends here at this forum, but it's time for me to put the jw religion to rest.
it will be 15 years this october that i daed myself which in retrospect i wish i wouldn't have done as there are some former sisters who i would love to give a big hug and talk with who are in pain mentally, but i can't.
i agreed to their "rules" when i was baptized.
Bye Juni!
seeing that we just set up half a dozen new cults in the other thread, i hereby state the following:.
all authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.go therefore and make disciples of dubs of all the nations, initiating them in the name of hermes trismegistus, teaching them to observe all the things i have commanded you.
i am with you all the days until the conclusion of the watchtower bible and tract society.. pick a name, create a cult, set up your wikipedia article, upload videos on youtube, go to conventions, scare the hell out of dubs, spread the word!.

Just imagine the look on Jaracz' face when he wakes up tomorrow and sees that 40.000 cults with wacky names have infiltrated his organization overnight :)

I quote from Tertullianus, Against Minimus:
Minimus, The heretic of Pontus, introduces two Gods, like the twin Symplegades of his own shipwreck: One whom it was impossible to deny, i.e., our Creator; and one whom he will never be able to prove, i.e., his own god. The unhappy man gained
29 the first idea 30 of his conceit from the simple passage of our Lord’s saying, which has reference to human beings and not divine ones, wherein He disposes of those examples of a good tree and a corrupt one; ( Luk_6:43 ) how that "the good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit, neither the corrupt tree good fruit." Which means, that an honest mind and good faith cannot produce evil deeds, any more than an evil disposition can produce good deeds. Now (like many other persons now-a-days, especially those who have an heretical proclivity), while morbidly brooding 31 over the question of the origin of evil, his perception became blunted by the very irregularity of his researches;

@Finally-Free:
I propose an alliance between the mighty God Yah of The Hermetic Order of Bethelites and the Great Bird God Rocco of the Fundamentalist Roccoists
Together we will see the dawn of the bloody day when our great god Yah smites the Minimusites with His thunderbolts and our great god Rocco picks out their eyes!
Yes, yes!!! Any time soon now! We are VERY close!

I'll let you join the Divine Order of Minimus and you can become Minimusites.
The prophecy has come true! Trust not Minimus of the Divine Order of Minimus, for he is the enemy of all Hermeticism! He who is not with us, is against us!

If you consider joining us, please humbly and prayerly think about the following questions:
(1) On the basis of the secret knowledge of Hermes Trismegistus, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to the Hermetic Order of Bethelites to do its will?
(2) Do you understand that your dedication identifies you as a member of the Hermetic Order of Bethelites in esoteric association with God's spirit-induced organization?
If you can answer yes to both questions, you are initiated! As a member, you may freely think of a title for yourself. You are also allowed to create sub-orders and give them names, and initiate bored brothers and sisters at conventions to them.
One warning: we have received word that others will soon promote new sects and cause divisions on this board and in the organization. Do not join them, for they are full of lies and deceit!
Awaiting your initiation,

P.S This is all serious. Ted Jaracz is one of our acolytes.
dear all,.
this is my first vacation free of the borg, and i would like to share some of my feelings:.
university (the evil place where you learn critical thinking) has just stopped, and after a semester of hard and succesful study it feels like sliding into a warm bath.
Dear All,
This is my first vacation free of the Borg, and I would like to share some of my feelings:
University (the evil place where you learn critical thinking) has just stopped, and after a semester of hard and succesful study it feels like sliding into a warm bath. I love the things that I do there, but as our friend Salomon said, there is a time for everything :)
Almost seven days per week of total freedom :)
In the morning, I get up early and read literature, then I make my breakfast. I take a shower, and begin the day with translating some Coptic manuscripts to prepare for an exam next semester.
Then I finish the book I started in when I woke up. After lunch, I walk through the house and the garden and talk Persian to myself to practice conversation and have some exercise. I also translate some poetry.
Then I start in a new book, or a play, or a book of poetry.
Then I practice conversational Latin via podcast for a couple of hours.
In the evenings, I watch a film with some friends, or go out, or read or translate some more, whatever I feel like doing.
Life is wonderful, the death sentence has been lifted, I have walked out of prison.
I walk through the city park. I watch mothers with little children feeding the ducks.
They will not be destroyed by some vengeful God.
The sun, shrouded in clouds, shines bleak upon one of a billion worlds, and I live on that little world. There is no greater purpose than to be happy and smile at other human beings.
Great is the world, and its Creator, and great is mankind.
Believe me, leaving is hard, but in the end it is worth it.

almost entirely transcribed from the audio provided by fading away (thanks, fading away!!).
i couldn't bear to type out all of one experience, you'll have to listen.. the audio link: education talk from follow the christ dc.
the superiority of of being taught by jehovah.
This is the most sickening, illogical piece of argument I have read in a long, long time. The ideology just drips off... bah!
Good thing I've been trained in ideological criticism using an evil wordly education hehe
So for all who are interested, lurkers etc, here's the structure:
---
Ideological Superstructure: put Jehovah first, trust, dangers of education blabla, too much time, spoiling good habits yada yada
Base Structure: Don't get an education because it might start you thinking and (gulp!) questioning our authority
---
It is ALL about maintaining POWER over you.
Assignment for DC: Dismantle the ideology in each talk and find out how it tries to maintain the POWER and AUTHORITY of the WTBTS
/rant off
