Aliens,other dimensions, just foolishness? Open ur mind!

by fedorE in

jw

(dr. michio kaku, tells a short story of how fish, naturally moving forward or side to side, with no idea of up, ).

my own fascination with higher dimensions began early in childhood.

one of my happiest childhood memories was crouching next to the pond at the famed japanese tea garden in san francisco, mesmerized by the brilliantly colored carp swimming slowly beneath the water lilies.

freeme

In these quiet moments, I would ask myself a silly question that a only child might ask: how would the carp in that pond view the world around them? Spending their entire lives at the bottom of the pond, the carp would believe that their “universe” consisted of the water and the lilies; they would only be dimly aware that an alien world could exist just above the surface. My world was beyond their comprehension.

im asking myself such questions all the time since my early childhood. im 26. somethings wrong with me?

If Jehovah went to a psychiatrist, what would be his diagnoses?

we're talking about a "supreme being" who hates a lot, is violent and vindictive, fascist, any "love" is totally conditional, plays mean mind games (sacrifice your son for me)....he probably oughta be locked up!

even though we shouldnt bann such threads on a open minded discussion forum...

threads like this one scares away every jw who lurks the first time. can you imagine what you would have thought when you were in, opened this webpage and the first thing you read is that jehovah needs to go to psychiatrist to being diagnosed a schizophrenic mental illness?!

i wouldve leaved ON THE SPOT and never come back.

just a thought.

PROOF that the GB lurk HERE ???

by AlphaOmega in

a while ago, i posted this thread.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/135699/1.ashx.

in which i said.... this is strange, i read that in 1995 they did away with the "generation" teaching, yet the official watchtower website still says this, over 12 years later !.

thus, all the features of the last days must take place within the lifetime of one generation, the generation of 1914. so some people who were alive in 1914 will still be alive when this system comes to its end.

freeme

even though i find it quiet possible that someone near the gb and from the wts lurking here (or even posting O_o?) i think its completely irrelevant and nothing to be proud of or whatever. we dont need to be important - its not the reason this board exists, am i wrong?

Could the WTBTS get JWs to kill?

by serotonin_wraith in

i'm not saying those in power would even contemplate doing this, but i wonder just how far jws would go to obey their leaders.

would they go as far as to kill, if they thought god had given that message to 'his people'?.

it would probably take years of subtle changes in their message so that it didn't come as a big shock.

freeme

im pretty sure they would. they've done it. either through the blood transfusion issue or through a deathlike strike through shunning.

if they would package it into a armageddon starting act... it may be possible. or something else. its difficult to imagine it now, but i think its possible. of course many many jw would leave but that would only the remaining strengthen their faith (its just a small number who get through the small door and stuff)...

Fox News on UFO Disclosure

i can't seem to embed the page so here is the link to youtube.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udooz_ipb6y.

"disclosure is at hand.

it is very close.

freeme

i wont believe it until it is proved. some lights on a blured screen is no proof. no, no.

that doesnt mean anything...

actually i do not believe in aliens visiting us. i think its possible that there are other civilizations in the universe, maybe even in our galaxy, but by any chance they arent visiting us.

Wife has disassociated, even being shunned by non-jw dad.

by Ironhead in

jw
friends

my wife has only been to one meeting in 13 months, and during this past year, she has been quite the little apostate.

she has been warning her work colleague, our neighbours, and anybody who would listen about the witnesses.

mrs iron has been quite a little star in that area.

freeme

when my time comes and i have to face my family who asks me "WHHHYYY???!! WHHYYY have you upset us?!" (alone this question is so laughable but thats just how JWs see that matter) ill wont say a thing against the organization. if you do every jw takes it personal and their rest of rational thinking is dropped and they will get furious hate-spitting beasts. i see that on my wife and i know how i had reacted some years ago. its completely normal in that state of involvement in such a destructive cult. i hope i only tell'em that i found out that its not the truth and that i finally couldnt live a lie. no further explanation. when they ask i tell'em "if you're interested find out yourself. i wont fight with you about it.".

i hope i have this self-control when my own mother might tell me that she dont wanna see me again. the love!!

may need some help soon

by Missanna in

ok so i send my father a letter telling him several reasons i do not believe the witnesses are jehovah's organization.i also told my father at the end of the letter that i was setting some boundaries once and for all.

that i would not be emotionally blackmailed or verbally abused anymore that if he wanted to talk to me as a father then i welcome that and if he can't do that then i do not wish to comunicate with him.

i sent it about a week ago and was waiting for all hell to break loose but nothing happend.

freeme

in my believe your sisters letter was a try to catch you somehow. "prove that the society isnt gods organization, but you are not allowed to use anything". your reply was the best possible i think. she cant prove it is gods organization without the organizations literature too.

in both cases its like proving "grass is green" without the chance to examine some grass :D

How Did YOU Find JWD?

i used to read the old h2o site and i believe they brought up that this place was up......either that or i typed in jws on search.

freeme

at first i was lurking on a board in my language and posted there after some while. unfortunately it wasnt well visited plus i didnt found anyone who is in my situation (all long ex-jw who couldnt relate very well) and i feared to use a bigger forum in my mother tongue because it is more likely to have a fellow jw "accidently" visiting those sites and see my posts (paranoiaaaa). i left there and since i can understand english very well (understand not write lol) i searched for an english forum and found this on my first search. i came, i saw, i posted.

new invention that will save lives

by shadowofbathory in

jw
friends

lets say that i have invented a contraption that removes all contaminates ( organic and inorganis ) from any sample of water, including desalination process.. what would be your marketing plan ?

who would you approach initially?.

would you sell the technology to a firm that would take care of marketing and distribution?.

freeme

i think it would depend on how you would like to benefit from it. do you want ppl from benefit or do you want yourself to benefit from it.

if you want yourself benefitting you should file a patent and sell it for $$$. if you want to help humankind you should open it up to the public domain and give it everyone so the production costs get low (everyone can create it). you wont get a penny for it in the worst case.

im not a professionell thought :) just my two cents.

what are you trying to prove with that example?
