I need nothing else

by MsGrowingGirl20 in

i just want to be a true christian..i love god and jesus christ....all i simply want is to be a follower of christ...a genuine one...i don't want to read matthew 23 and know that it aptly fits my situation...i want to feel refreshed under the love of my father...i don't want to fake anymore...i shouldn't even have felt the need to anyway.... i don't know what to do....i'm tired and all i want to do is serve the almighty god...i don't want to have doubts because that alone makes me know that this isn't what god wants...i just want to truthfully be a follower of jesus...a true one.

gosh....i feel as though my life has no direction...all i want to do is follow christ the right way.... i'm sorry for rambling on....

If you met a boy who is funny, handsome, intelligent and sweet, (everything you've ever wanted in a boyfriend), how long would you have to know him to marry him? Wouldn't you want to take a lot of time for you both to get to know each other before you committed to marriage? You wouldn't expect to create and maintain a relationship in just a matter of a few weeks or months. How much more this is true with God and Jesus.

If you believe in a creator and savior, it will take a lot of soul searching and study to determine what is right for you. Certainly a loving God would afford you the time to do so.

G-spot discovered

by Vidqun in

a doctor claims he has dissected the g-spot, proving that it exists.

this is an area of female anatomy that has always fascinated me.

being a student of anatomy (really), i made a study of it.. first of all, i'll relate an interesting anecdote in connection with a medical article, dealing with the subject.

jamiebowers

yea why not ask a woman. I'm sure she knoes where the g spot is

Because some women may not know they have one. I didn't know I had one until my husband let me know I did. Unfortunately we didn't meet until I was in my 30's, LOL!

I was in touch with him few months ago. He's moved to two different states since he started making videos. It seems he's very busy with his career and life in general. He's not that far away from a newbie here on JWN and was very enthusiastic about helping any way he could. I'll let him know you asked about him, and maybe he'll pop in.

Unsubstantiated Rumors In Recent Years

by metatron in

jw
friends

across the past several years, various rumors have appeared on this and other websites.

if anyone else has knowledge about them, i'd be glad to hear more about them.

again, these are only rumors that i've wondered about but could never get more information on.. 1) henschel documents- long before the watchtower's alliance with the un was exposed, a rumor appeared from europe that watchtower president milton henschel carried some kind of diplomatic identification from the un!

I'm pretty sure that Barbara Anderson has written about numbers 3 and 4. Check freeminds.org or watchtowerdocuments.com.

I saw part of this video a few weeks ago, but watched it all the way through for the first time today. He seems like he's robably a preety nice guy...just had a few too many that night. He must not have done anything too bad since he didn't have cuffs on. It cracked me up at the end when he said, "Physical violence is the least of my priorities."

"one day when dinah came to visit, shechem took dinah and forced her to lie down with him.

hi everyone, i would like to introduce myself and tell my story.

from the standpoint of being one of jehovahs witnesses, my whole family is deeply involved as i was the 5th generation of witness and any children that my brothers or sister have will be the sixth generation.

as some of my brothers and sisters are grandparents, i guess that makes their grandchildren a potential 7th generation.

Welcome to JWN! What an interesting, well-written story!

No answer to this one!

by truthseeker1969 in

as many of you know my brother an elder was called on to sit in a "judicial committee" re-instatement.. the brother has in the past done all he can to prove he is repentant but this time the co was here and apparently had a few things to say to the cobe when they were discussing the process.

the co asked why the poor guy had four re-instatement hearings and why the co had received a letter from him detailing that he "did not think he could do anymore".. anyway, long story short, the co sat in the hearing and hey presto the brother was re-instated.

my brother and the co spoke with the brother and the co said that he had done well and was sorry that the process has taken so long and shook his hand.. now he mentioned the latest letter about confidentiality and said that the society is being hit left right and center with civil lawsuits and are scared as the have no way of defending them.

The Watch Tower lost the "clergy/penitent privilege" battle in California during the child molester, Gilbert Simental's trial. In that case, a teacher of one of his victims reported her suspicions to the police. The mother of that child and another told police that the elders confirmed to her that Simental had confessed his guilt to them. When called to testify, the elders, under the society's direction claimed Clergy/penitent privilege, but the judge ruled against it stating that not only was more than one elder privy to the confession, but the society was as well. Then the prosecutor brought charges against the elders for failing to report the abuse to the police in a mandatory reporting state. The elders cut a deal and testified against Simental.

so this week was stressful and emotional.

my husband's witness family found out that we where not attending meeting anymore.

she stated if "i keep talking like i am i'm going to get myself disfellowshiped.

You're a grown woman with a child of her own. When someone asks about your beliefs, meeting attendance, field service, etc., just say you don't want to talk about it and then refuse to discuss it further. If they choose to shun you, it's their choice, not yours. You're not at fault. Start creating a real circle of friends, and note that any sacrifice to pay for non-jw daycare is worth it. Do you really want your jw family and/or in laws telling your kid that Mommy and Daddy are going to die at Armageddon, which, by the way, is right around the corner? You're already twisted in knots about them. Do you want your child to suffer the same way?t
