our inner thoughts are our greatest inner riches and they mean little, almost nothing, unless they're expressed, and everything we fail to say or write or live is lost----mere dust.

so, how much have you lost?

Based on my own experience, my inner thoughts became so suppressed, when I did happen to have one I became terribly guilty and tried to root it out.

"Most of the righteous — including some non-Jehovah’s Witnesses — will be rewarded with a sort of heaven on earth." Where did that come from?

If you don't believe in God where do you get the strength to cope?

i know there are some here that are going through some tough times.

some of you do not believe in god.

some are not sure.. i was told recently by a friend to pray to god for help and he would comfort me.. my first impulse is to pray.

dear missfit, You don't need man's description of what god is or who he is. You have that power, (call it god if you want) within you. Get your strength from inside yourself, you can do it and I know this because we all have it. Your daughter has that strength and she is already helping you by showing her concern. She needs you and wants you. You can do it! You can!!

False teachers are propagandist’s who try to influence the community by presenting only one side of an argument. They, (propagandist’s) may make statements that are partly false and partly true. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further their own religious agenda. Propaganda can be used as a form of ideological warfare.

Facepalm What do you make of this cultish email I just got from my JW friend? What do I say to her?

by Julia Orwell in

friends

a bit of background: she is a sweet sister who has hard a really hard life: mum killed in an accident when she was young while once-an-elder dad was off having an affair after having been released from jail after serving time as a pedophile; she spent months in hospital after the accident which killed her mother; brothers jailed as pedos, ex husband left her cold with their 6 month old son- she's had a tough life and is a really sweet lady.

she's intelligent, caring, forgiving and articulate.

far too good for jws.. she 'brought me into the truth' as they say, and as such we've always had a pretty good bond.. now, after the gossip/slander fiasco of another so-called friend running around telling everyone i'm an apostate and not to talk to me, i unfriended my jw friends from facebook with an explanation.

What about accepting her offer of a study. You can raise tactful questions that may get her to think.

Pope or Faithful slave....whats the difference???

by Witness 007 in

the pope as gods mouthpeice on earth says no contraception....faithful slave tells us jehovah thinks blood fractions are okay...of course they offically are not our leaders....on paper.

but really are they any different to the pope..

ldrnomo

The Pope has to be elected by a bunch of guys in funny red hats. The Faithful slave gets to appoint themselves.
