FOOLISH QUESTIONING vs. WTBTS EXHAUSTING SUBJECTS!
by Sarah Smiles ini think the faithful and descreet slave needs to understand the difference from foolish questions about the ot law verses exhausting time consuming subjects!.
paul probably became tired of foolish questions about the law because the new christains struggled with law and how it applied to them.
can a man now live with his fathers wife?

The one that did it for me was an article years ago about the 'cities of refuge' and the 'blood avenger' and the modern 'types' they represented.
I realized then, that they were really stretching to fill pages.
I wasn't free of them yet, but cracks began showing.

The WTS is God's channel.
Why? It says so in the bible.
Where? Matt 24, the F&DS parable is really a prophecy.
How do we know that? The WTS interpreted it that way.
Why can we believe them? They are God's channel

I've homebrewed more than a time or two.
Mostly Scotch Ale, although I would like to buy an old fridge for lagering.

Do witnesses visit loved ones grave sites?
by NotaNess incurious about that one.
were visiting my wifes family in new orleans this week, and she brought up going see her relatives graves.
if they do how does the experience differ from a non-witness.

I can't speak for all dubs, and I know of no official proscription, but you have to consider the nature of dubdom.
Any hint of 'strangeness' can result in being cast out from the group you have everything invested in.
I think most play it safe and stay away. I know I catch heck every year for going to see me own dad's grave on Memorial Day from my dub relatives.
When I was breaking my mind free of the dub mold, I was living in a handicapped accessible building near Oakdale Cemetery just north of downtown St Paul, and I used to go on my power scooter to explore and visit on Sundays.
I visited the graves of Alexander Ramsey, the first governor of the Mn Territory, Henry Sibley, the first governor Mn had as a state, The Wilders, the Ordways, and Kelloggs.
It was so peaceful, and helped me consider all the new things I was letting myself think for the first time.
I would NEVER have done that as a dub.

Did this line of thought ever cross your mind?
by Awakened07 inok - first i should mention that this line of *hypothetical* thought may seem extreme, and it's obviously exaggerated to get a point across.
but it's just one of many, many logical constructs i had in my mind, even when i was still active:.
let's say we have a pioneer sister.

The twistedness of it all simply boggles the mind!
I knew a guy who was so mad at another JW he wanted to kill him, but didn't because he didn't want to give him a 'free pass!"
I especially loved:
"if i turn you away then i die at armageddon, right?" they answer yes, "but if you never called and I never knew your beliefs, i could get a chance maybe?" they answer yes "so basically, by calling on me you are effectively killing me?"
OMG! If I wasn't already marked as a do-not-call I would use that.
Maybe I can find an occasion if I try.

Hi Necco!
I am glad you are happy, and you are certainly welcome here.
Although, I think maybe you should browse around a bit to ensure you know where you are.

do i go with my gut instinct???(long, im sorry, but i need help)
by theinfamousone inso, simply put, i am in love... and love makes a man do some really stupid things.... love makes a pretty damn intelligent man feel pretty damn stupid quite often as well... so here's my story... i have been dating this girl for almost a year now... she is beautiful, sweet, and really just everything i imagined in a life mate... she lives with me... she doesnt work, while i do full time, and also go to school... i make very good money, so that does not bother me... but heres where it all begins... a few months ago, she went to cuba with her sisters, and imoved her into my place while she was gone, her idea, not mine.. now we keep our condoms in a certain place.... anyways, her box of condoms was gone, with her... when she comes back, our little box of condoms is empty.... instead of asking her about it, i explained it to myself as she must have given them to her sister.... .
while i am gone at work, i usually give her a call on my breaks... i notice that she never answers the phone between 6-8 pm.. home or cell... her explanation is that she is always in the shower... the problem with that is that she is always coming out of the shower when i get home.... i get home at around nine... so either she is taking a 3 hour shower or she is taking two showers a night..... she disappears off the face of the earth everytime she goes home to visit her family... like shes not home, shes not answering her phone and only ever calls me when she is in her car....her explanation is that she is at a cousins house.. conveniently, one that i do not know..... last night she went to a wedding... it was over at 11, i know this because she had told me, nd a friend of mine tht was there said that it ended then,,, it was a dry wedding, no dancing... very religious people... i was supposed to meet her at 130 today, i got to the train station that she was coming to, 15 minutes early and waited over an hour there... finally as i decied to walk back home, she gives me a call... i will be home at 5, meet me at the train.... of course, i have been calling her since last night at 11 to tell her i would meet her at 130 as she had planned... i made brunch for her, which is now in the garbage... i was scared shitless she had been hit by a car or dead since her phone has been off since last night.... i asked her why she is so late, i was helping move things until 3am last night... bull shit.. all the gifts were given prior to the weding and the bride and groom had already moved into their new place.... i know because she has told me in the past.....her phone was dead according to her... but all of the sudden, she is able to use it.... no charger, but she can use it..... i did confront her once, and she exploded on me!!!!
like screamed and screamed and said she was insulted i even asked... textbook defensive behaviour right????.

Dude,
I am so sorry to say, you know full well what's going on already.
If it isn't what you suspect, then she is extremely inconsiderate of you and your feelings.
Either way, you gotta do what you gotta do, bud.
We're here for ya, man.
