  World Could End Soon (Oh, Crap)

  i hate gloom and doom but sadly..... http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-solar-storms-20120505,0,6214500.story?page=2&sc=7369001384796169482.

  this is no laughing matter.

  a major cme or flare could wipe out civilization by destroying power grids everywhere.. this is why i get so angry about global warming hysteria - there are far more serious threats that could emerge in months, not decades ahead.. i also understand that a small asteroid is scheduled to come breathtakingly close to hitting earth in two years.

  What could trigger a large proportion of JWs at once that this religion is a scam

  i am just thinking if there could ever be anything that would raise consciousness in the minds of millions of jws that this a completely hoax.

  what could spark millions of them at once, any thoughts?..

  I got 100% for Reform Judaism back when I was searching. I checked it out and found out it was correct! Secular Humanism was number 2 and Reform Quakers were number 3.

  JW net ....We all have something in common.

  i talk to jw's, i talk to many religious people.

  i also spend all day everyday with educated people due to my career.

  one thing stands out to me for sure, by far the majority of the regular posters here are intelligent and informed.

  That is a funny observation. I suppose that without the sex-related disfellowshippings, the org wouldn't have anyone sitting in the back row, accepting the shunning, and begging to be let back in. It helps maintain the illusion that those who leave want to come back and that shunning helps people quit "bad" habits.

  I am happy to be among those who are smart enough to stay away...

  This Made Me So Thankful I am No Longer A Christian

  i was following some links researching something to do with my condition when i came across this article by the well known christian author john piper called "don't waste your cancer".. if i had still been a christian when i got my diagnosis i would have been subjected to these sort of pious platitudes.

  here are a few gems, read the full article if you wish but not on a full stomach.. .

  cancer is not wasted when it is healed by god.

  I disagree with the whole concept of humans being sinful from birth and undeserving of life. It is depressing to feel as if we have to be grateful to god that we are simply allowed to live, much less be disappointed when bad things happen. Why do we have to feel wretched about ourselves to appreciate life? I think I do a pretty good job without the guilt... Re: the cancer thing, why would anyone want to worship and love a god that considers a devastating disease a 'gift?' Disgusting. This is one of the main reasons I left xianity, along with a few thousand others.

  Hi - I'm new here!

  i have been lurking on this site for the past 2 months.

  for the past few years i have been going to the meetings and doing fieldservice out of guilt.. my husband (twisty) told me regularly i only do it out of guilt but i denied it and said it i want to do these things because i love jehovah and it is the right thing to do, but how can it be the right thing if you don't feel welcome and it feels like everyone is judging you the moment you walk into the kingdom hall.. it has taken a few years and a lot of tears to open my eyes.. over the past few years twisty spoke to me about the various things he didn't agree with but it just went over my head.

  a few months ago we were lying in bed and he brought up his concerns again, and i'm not sure what was different this time but i understood and agreed with the points he was making.

  I finally drove off my wonderful jw wife...and i am so sad..

  by oompa in

  i helped her move out this weekend so i must be a masochist too...so on top of losing every friend in my life...i have now lost my wife...and yes i asked her to leave on more than one occasion this year...we have argued for nearly five years about wt crap...nothing i could ever say would make her question anything!!!!

  it was beyond frustrating...then this spring when i somehow disassociated myself and even lost my parents i knew i would never have a normal marriage no matter what...all i wanted was a normal marriage with mutual friends...that is off the table as long as she is a jw...but why could i not accept it???

  why could i not shut up???

  I am so sorry :(. Separation is devastating even when it is needed, I can't imagine how horrible it is when it isn't wanted. I have read your posts for years and have seen how hard you work to make things livable with your wife. It breaks my heart, knowing that the JW mindset will never allow her to give even a smidge back to you.

  She has lost a good man who loves her enough to live in purgatory just to make her happy, ie. no friends in common, walking on JW eggshells. She is a fool...

  You are in my prayers.

  "Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12

  by yourmomma in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?

  its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .

  if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

  My mom wants to literally kill my ex because he hit me for years before I left. I wonder what she will make of this article...
