  (isaiah 11:7) .

  .and the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down.

  and even the lion will eat straw just like the bull.

  How Do You Let Go Of Your Guilt?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as witnesses, you are trained to feel guilty.

  i don't know if i'm rare regarding my guiltless feelings but i have not had any guilt whatsoever after leaving the witnesses.

  not even a little bit.....what about you?

  Man, did they use that guilt card ALOT! I remember crying at the stupid wanktower study...because I wasnt doing enough , EVER!!!!

  after that, i was so done with feeling guilty....if you really want to know how I feel about guilt....

  if GOD himself came down here to earth, and told me to get on my knees and worship IT, I would turn around and walk away....that's how not guilty I feel about not worshiping a being that claims to be god.

  Now if Jesus came down...that's a different story...I have alot of admiration and respect for that man. I would shake his hand. and ask him some questions.....

  And if God and Jesus are one and the same person...well slap me upside the head with an idiot-stick.

  so hello everyone... i'm a brand new member and happy to be here... to know i am not alone.

  i have been a jw since birth however i was never "encouraged"/forced to get baptised by my parents (lucky me!

  ) i always considered myself a member on the fringes of my congeregation and almost everybody treated me as a member even though i never commented or went in service.

  Godhead

  by Messianic in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  romans 1:20 is the second place the word "godhead" is found in the scripture.

  in this verse the apostle starts off saying "the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen.

  paul was speaking about god's divine nature, and was not talking about three manifestations of god.

  (5) Bring plenty of snacks and toys for the children. You may also bring snacks for yourself to eat during the program, preferably as noisily and messily as possible. Gum is excellent for this.

  (6) Take walking breaks whenever you feel like. Disrupt people in the row.

  Hhahahaha, I did that as a dub....where I lived though, everyone did! you would see hundreds of people walking about the collesium during the session...it was NOISY in the hallway! I'm not kidding...the brothers with the signs looked annoyed but also couldnt do jack about it, they were outnumbered.

  I always had someone's child/baby with me while walking, that was ''the best get out of jail free card! it was great! I'd chat up all the old friends that I hadn't seen since last years convention lol...ahh fond memories of being a non-obedient dub...

  hahahha attendants,and their stupid signs...so many people ignored them

  and about dress?? are you kidding? where I lived the hot young sisters would wear skin tight skirts and tight blouses with just low enough neck lines to tease the poor brothers....and who wears stockings in JULY???? it's like 30C outside....no sisters wore pantyhose..unless they were like 60+ or prudes. all the young sisters(17yrs - 50yrs) wore open toed sexy slingback shoes/heels with bare tanned legs and pretty toenail polish...

  Is it appropriate for a stranger to comment on a woman's bruises?

  by rebel8 in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  if you saw a woman in public, and said woman was a complete stranger to you, would you feel it's appropriate to discuss it with her (if you're concerned she is in an abusive relationship)?

  if you did, would it be appropriate to do it within earshot of others?

  and if she offered you an explanation other than abuse, how would you proceed?

  Cog took my response...

  "You should have seen what the other guy looked like when I got through with him!" I'm alot stronger than I look

  Humour defuses tense situations....it will make the concerned samaritan feel better to know that your bruises have a medical cause.I get asked all the time by perfect strangers a personal question that is considred rude. So I know what it feels like to be bothered with questions from strangers.

  Just like the moon can appear to block out the sun, Their lies can block out the truth....and they believe their own lies, since they have been propagating them for 90 years now. Soon though, that house of cards will crumble, and they will have to eat their lies.

  What Stage Are You At Now?

  by mtsgrad in

  2. friends

  i was born in the "truth" and reached the dizzy heights of becoming a servant and that attended the ministerial school.

  in the last three years i emotionallly left the "truth" and stopped attending last year.

  however, i am still very confused theologically.

  I'm at DEFCON 3

  kidding

  I would say I'm right in the middle, got rid of religion, don't know if God is there or not, I'm at the learning stage....and not throwing any theories out of the window....5 out of 10 perhaps.
