  Good Has To Be Filter?

  by writetoknow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it amazes me that the org had to filter what is good!

  i mean if something isn't done through the organizaton of jw's then the good work isn't really good at all.

  the people doing the good are mislead or are dishonest refusing to accept kingdom teachings from the org.. the only good that matters is preaching the good news according to jw's.

  Demons in my Tupperware?

  by Watkins in

  hi ya'll - this subject might've been addressed before, but i missed it if it was.

  my daughter and i were talking the other day about how it's taught by the witnesses that anything one might buy from a yard sale, garage sale, or ebay(lol) - could be 'infected' with demons.

  when dd was studying, the sister told her a first-person account that a tupperware bowl she'd bought at a garage sale that supposedly wreaked havoc in her home - she was physically attacked by an incubus-type demon - and it all stopped when she threw away that plastic bowl.. perhaps the best defense against them is indifference... i don't know.

  i just finished the book by ray franz, coc, and for some reason i'm madder than ever at this organization!!!

  i've been out for over 20 years and now i'm even more pissed off!!!!

  why am i so angry at things i already knew although i'm sure i've just repressed them over the years and got on with my life, anyone else have this anger problem after reading this book, or is it just me??.

  IDENTITY=Behavior There are no CAUSELESS crimes or innocent evils

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we often hear it said: love the sinner, but; hate the sin.. we try and reform the child molester.

  we put career criminals through rehabiliation.

  we let the drunk driver off with a fine and a warning over and over until an innocent family is wiped out.. why separate the deed from the doer?

  Is. 2:2 My analysis..what's yours?

  by NewTruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, here's the scripture:.

  2:2 in the last days, the mountain of the lord's temple will be established as chief among the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

  many peoples will come and say, "come, let us go up to the mountain of the lord, to the house of the god of jacob.

  i'm currently in the stage of mixed feelings.

  i feel torn at times because of this.

  i've built up courage to come to this website, and recently i've built up enough to take part in it.

  2. experiences

  we will find out soon.

  as a brief update my wife sweet pea and i have 'announced' to a few friends and close family - less than 10 altogether - that we are no longer going to meetings.

  some friends have probed for details, others don't want to know.

  For those who've settled on 'no contact' with their JW families . . .

  by Madame Quixote in

  1. social
  2. family

  for whatever reason.

  do you question it sometimes and think you should try to "reach out" to them again?

  i was this morning and then came across the thread above and was reminded why i need to stay away.. but, still, i read threads of people who have managed somehow, despite being d'f'ed or faded or d'aed and think i might try to be more understanding, supportive, reach out or something.. despite all the problems growing up in a fairly dysfunctional family, i still feel a deep attachment to them and hope against hope that they might come to their senses (if they ever had any to begin with) and get help and leave the cult of jehobo; and we might reconcile,etc., etc., blah blah blah dream dream dream.. i deeply wish for them all freedom and happiness and healing and feel so helpless to free them of their bonds and yet see so much possibility for it, if only they could be reached somehow.
