  Isn't it ironic

  by Princess Daisy Boo in

  i used to regularly get calls from my mom (she rarely confronted me face to face for some reason) about my leaving "da troof" and most often, her lectures were met with my silence - i didnt have the confidence to answer her back as to why i left and refused to return.

  now - almost 7 months are regularly reading and posting on jwd, i am angry and just itching for an opportunity for me to tell her what i have learned and discovered.

  the relief at discovering that i wasn't alone is indescribable!

  only part of meeting you enjoyed

  for me it was bible reading, where you could express your own opinion, in line with present truth of course.. pre the change it was awful listening to some fool telling you his opinion of bible highlights.

  I NEED TO VENT

  for the past weeks, i have gotten in touch with a lot of old high school classmates.

  a lot of them i've found over the internet.

  after reading their profiles and talking to them, to my surprise, a lot of them are professionals with degrees like doctors, engineers, business, etc.

  You can't change the past so try not to dwell on what you didn't do or what you could have been. If there is something you want to accomplish why not do it now? Is there any reason you can't go to college now? Go get whatever it is that you want or need it's never too late. I'm 43 and I just got my masters a couple of months ago.

  Do it!

  Would you support a witness who was refusing a transfusion?

  by Caedes in

  2. relationships

  i was thinking about what i would do if a family member was in the situation of refusing a blood transfusion.

  if the doctors were trying to force them to accept a transfusion, would i support my family members right to choose or would i take the position that they are brainwashed and are incapable of making a rational choice on the matter?

  does the fact that they are hopelessly ill informed take away from their right to make a choice that they know will kill them?

  I would respect their decision to refuse but would not sign consent for them to refuse if they were not capable. If it were a child, that's a totally different matter.

  Please keep your child away from any dub family or dub member. I allowed my oldest son to visit my dub parents, they screwed that poor child up so bad he's 25 and still F*$# up. They told him that his father and I were gonna cause him to die at the Big A, they told him that we were drug addicts, abusers and that we didn't love him because if we did we would serve Jehoober. They did every thing the could do and say to take him away from us and they won.

  If you want to talk, please PM me and I'll call you. But what ever you do never ever leave your child alone with dub family. I'm serious, my son is 25 and he refuses to have contact with me. It's the most hurtful thing you could ever go through short of loosing your child to death. To have them grow up without being in their lives is horrible.

  To all those who support Evolution EXPLAIN this....

  by Blackboo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  think about this and close your eyes...think about what it is to have no existence for all existence..and nothing for all existence...notice how u cannot have both at the same time lol!

  that is crazy!

  that means if there was nothing for all existence..then it has to remain that way..and even if some particles or energy exploded to give life to earth and the planets..it still does not make sense to believe that a explosion can design humans or animals...thats just like saying i am gonna get a another house out of a explosion!

  A few thousand years ago people did not know what the sun was, so they called it a god and worshipped it, we now know obviously that it is a really really big ball of hydrogen and helium. Science does not have all the answers but just because we do not understand something does not mean we should insert God into the equation to answer the puzzle, it is far better to get off our collective butts and actually try to figure it out

  Are you honest with your kids?

  by JWdaughter in

  my daughter is a talented cartoonist and makes the funniest sketches.

  way too much irony for a 16 yo!

  she isn't technically proficient exactly, but she captures a mood so well that i halfway think if she were 'better' it might ruin the charm.

  I think you are doing the right thing. I'm honest with my kids about everything. Even when they ask the hard questions that I'm embarrassed to answer, they still get a straight up honest answer.

  I think praising over every little thing is taking it a little too far. Are they gonna get praised for every little thing they do when they are in high school, in college or at work? Is society going to acknowledge every little thing they do with an atta boy/girl? No, so why set them up to think they will. Acknowledge their strengths, praise them when they do something that's worthy but also be honest with them. I think they handle honesty best from their parents because who else is gonna be there for them no matter what they do or become? I know I will always be in my kids corner no matter what the situation.
