i keep telling my mom my dad she write a book on jw's,all he needs are some good typing skills and he'd be off.. i am wondering if anyone knows about any support groups for addicted computer users?
Treadnh20,

pictures in the latest two wt study articles left me with an uncomfortable feeling, which leads me to wonder if hs is ever inspiring the gb members in charge (i suppose there are such ones) of editing wt study articles before them being printed.. first, there was that picture last week where a jw man is meant to give his work colleagues a fine witness as, during break time, he is reading his bible, and it is implied that, in doing so, he is triggering the interest of one of his work mates who, at first, looks rather suspicious.
in fact, that jw man is sitting ten steps away from his colleagues and reads his bible quite ostentatiously.
at watching that picture, instead of thinking of a fine witness being given, any onlooker will say that this mans attitude is pharisaic and delivers the message that he his holier than all those around who belong to the sinful world and he doesnt want to mingle with them.
Take care not to practice your righteousness in front of men in order to be observed by them » and, farther at Mat 6 : 6 « you, however, when you pray, go into your private room and, after shutting the door, pray to your father who is in the secret » ?
No need to apologize whatsoever ..you make some great points such as the one above. If any thing I should
be apologizing to you . Great post ! thank you

Just a cute little friendly joke is all tee hee hee

i hate everything.
i am so angry at my mother, at my father, my sister, my brother.
nobody understands me.
Anger is mostly frustration in not knowing what to do...where to find answers...You must seek the answers
Talking and recognizing there is a problem is a great start.. keep pressing forward til or you or even someone
else finds the source ! Hope and belief that "this too must pass" is what will sustain you ! Turn hopeless into hopeful !

Terry, an absolutely perfect illustration ... that of a father feeling challenged by a mere boy as to what is
actually a simple solution, aside from father's PRIDE !

hi everyone, thought it was time to say hi after nearly a year lurking on this site!!
abit about me... i was born into the jw's and have been baptised for about 15yrs and was appointed as an ms about a year ago.
i have been a die hard jw for the last few years, but because of the arrogant and unloving attitude of certain 'spirit appointed' men within the cong and circuit i began to wounder if what i had really was 'the truth' and caused me to do some digging on some of the fundamental teachings.
Welcome dhand,
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Buddha
Over and over we hear the story "lack of love " not doctrine that begins the long painful
journey from the WT. society........ the fallacy of the true brotherhood.What hurt most is the
wounds of mind as stated above. But fear not the battle can be won !

as some of you know, me and my wife 2 years ago were accused of " circumstancial fornication" 1 month before we were married because my ex wife ( divorced 1998) and my youngest daughter , both witnesses, drove an hour and a half away from where they lived to find me at my fiances house at 9:30 a.m. in the morning to take my fiance to get her tires fixed.
both my fiance and me were fully clothed !
then my ex-wife ran and gossipped to my witness parents and older siblings about it , bringing about them writing condemning letters to me ; without even checking out the accuracy of the false charges.
Love can no more continue without a constant motion than fire can; and when once you take hope and fear away, you take from it its very life and being.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Your brothers biggest sin is misplaced loyality and trust

well i'll start;.
1. i would stand up,light a joint and announce that i am "bad association".
2. feeling now liberated i would rat on every elders child (cause who wouldn't).
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury
.
Hatred is self-punishment. Hatred it the coward's revenge for being intimidated
Revenge is not always sweet, once it is consummated we feel inferior to our victim.
Emile M. Cioran
For the poison of hatred seated near the heart doubles the burden for the one who suffers the disease; he is burdened with his own sorrow, and groans on seeing another's happiness.
some famous quotes worth thinking about

Until you choose to make that change, we will have no relationship with you.
But a year later in September 2007 when our 80 year old mother had back surgery, he and his wife acted all loving and accepting to Mrs. Flipper and me. Are these people insane, or what ?
These quotes are showing positive advancement.. steps in the right direction.. allow for change of attitude
and expect in your heart of hearts... you may be pleasantly reward ! ...consider it a flip with no flop to follow Flipper !
