Ever get Munchy days?

by Crumpet in

jw
friends

you know days where nothing you eat really satisfies you.

i just can't seem to satisfy my appetite today and yet other days i forget to eat at all.... whats your favourite munchy therapy when you get hungry?.

Marcel

i know these days. i think the best reaction to it is not to eat at all. just drink tasty things. it just makes the food the more delicious the other day.

My Uncle is still Pioneering at 84 years old and will never see the end!

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

my uncle is still an elder and pioneering at the age of 84. he started studying with the witnesses in the early 1960's and was made an elder a couple of years later.

he has auxilary pioneered for the last 40 years.

today, he is elderly,fragile,has heart problems,can't hardly walk,and he still continues to auxilary pioneer.

Do You Still Act Like A Jehovah's Witness?

by prophecor in

i'm not very far removed, any longer from how i presented myself as a witness, and how i do today.

i'm usually polite, cordial, respectful of others, even those who i may have very little regard for or those who on a regular basis, piss me off.

i work very hard not to use foul language.

i dont think JWs rules of social behaviour are bad. most of them are biblically nearly clear and they are good advice. if everyone treats everyone like he thinks he is treated by others things just get worse. its normal. ppl need to be nice in the first place to others. thats the secret many ppl dont know. sometimes it may feel unfair, but its the only chance for peace. period. you dont have to be a JW to be a nice person.

want to know what's weird?

by ninja in

we all know there is no mention of cats in the bible...not one....but another thing that's weird is that there is no reference to any people in the old testament taking their kids down to the beach to make sandcastles and stuff...why?

27,000 Known Jehovah`s Witness Pedophiles.???

by OUTLAW in

alright my techie friends..here is a new puzzle for you....i knew i had heard there were 27,000 known pedophiles..i thought it was from jr brown ..it still might be..alot of my buds on the board could`nt find the info that would support what i thought i had heard..i found some...go to google search engine..type in "number of jehovah`s witness pedophiles"..the number 27,000 comes up a few times in the list of subjects..you guys are much better at getting into the information than me.....sic-em!!.....lol!

!...outlaw

Marcel

i would give much to get the real number from a reliably source (which is the WT database itself i guess).
but even if its stamped and sealed by the WT president himself with a personal letter from him stating that this is truth most of the witnesses would be sure its a lie. *sighs*

even i dont know for sure whether is it true. i dont recognized a pedophile in my congregations yet. but i guess thats point of hiding them from public?!

i would pay for being a fly on the wall sometimes.

Need links to information about the abuse in the arcives in Brocklyn.

by Manjana in

i have a discussion with a witness.

she wants to read about the 23.000 cases of abuse, there are in the arcives.

she wants to know if they are solved and if the number goes global.

Marcel

i found it always hard to find information from non-ex-witnesses about the society. worldy ppl dont care much about the society. and even if you find something from non-ex-witnesses most JWs dont believe it. its like: "if its against the JWs its from apostates and apostates lie".
lets face it: all critical infos are lies in a witness brain. there is no golden key to free a JW from his brainprison. i experienced that very well on myself - scary.

i hope you can find what you search!!

Parthogenesis: How do creationists explain this?

by Crumpet in

i read this article in the paper on the train to work this morning (helped to keep me eyes of ladies feet and ankles) and was amazed as i never knew this before.. http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=50123&in_page_id=34.

certain species can actually get pregnant and give birth without any make interaction.

if this doesnt support evolution as the most scientifically accountable theory of our existence what does?!.

Marcel

@sirona and how did she manage to give joseph his angel-visions? i guess with a good ol' bottle of whiskey and a baseball bat? :D

is atheism better than believing in a god who doesnt care?

by theinfamousone in

so here's a sincere question... and instead of pressing my frustrations and blaming god and bla bla bla... i decided that instead of writing letters to an inactive god, i would ask your opinion!!!!!.

here's the question, looking at the world around you, seeing all the pain and frustration, the death and disease, the war and hypocricy, the starvation and disgust; generally seeing that our world is falling apart... if someone were able to irrevocably prove that there was a god, an intelligent creator is you will, would you want to worship him?

if he was there and created all of this just to watch it all implode, would you be able to respect that?

Marcel

if god really exists and has the power to change thinks i dont think we should judge him.
the JW has a possibly answer why he does not interfer in our times. could be this way in my opinion.
if he REALLY exists we cant judge him. its like an dog judges an human. the dog just doesnt have the picture, why humans do some things. like why we take them to the doctor, when the doctor only does "bad" things to them. for a dog it does not make any sense and if he could philosphy about it he might think thats humans act very unrighteous... if not evil.

and lets face it: if he has created us and hes the most powerful being of all time... he has the right to do whatever he wants. he created everything, even the laws which define what we're thinking. he has the right to dump us into the sun. like you've the right to burn the picture you painted.

thats just my opinion. im very much agnostic.
