Allyson. I'm sorry for what you are going through. As if you haven't been through enough already. They will use their Bible to really fuck you up. Be prepared to be wrongly judged. I'm so sorry. I love and respect you.

Is the Bible truly inspired?
by MrRoboto inso i was reading the book of daniel, starting with chapter 4 (nebuchadnezzar's famous tree chopping/banding dream where the 7 times is introduced) but i noticed that when you don't cherry pick verses and just read straight thru - it really seems like some children's book that was poorly written.
even though the borg says that this book as written by daniel, chapter 4 is clearly written by "king nebuchad·nezzar to all the peoples, nations, and language groups dwelling in all the earth" after the tree chopping business.
) of the rest of the chapters seem to be written in 3rd person (odd, if you are writing about your experiences).

People get duped in "Christianity" because of the false idea that the bible is the word of God. People are raised with this lie and it becomes their "default" mechanism. This sets you up to be led by this ring in your nose depending on your life situation . (Usually hard times that you have no currant answer for) then you are vulnerable for Christian preditors just waiting to throw a few scriptures with warnings if you don't take heed. People really know that the Catholic Church decided which ancient books to include in the present cannon. Making sure nothing was included that would question church dogma. Dogma, politics and power decided what would be in "Gods Word".....God had nothing to do with anything. It's ALL man made.

The number for virgins is a mistranslation. It is actually ONE 70 yr old virgin.

Wow. How can this be discussed when any semblance of "original" writings does not exist. Only 66 of these which has been totally screwed with to fit the "belief-o-matic" de jour of who held it.

How Would You Console A Witness Who Has Lost A Loved One?
by minimus inlet’s say that you haven’t been around a kingdom hall in years and everyone knows you are not a “true believer “ anymore.
yet a tragedy strikes and you want to give a real heartfelt expression of your feelings— what would you say?
would you acknowledge the resurrection hope that the witnesses entertain or say something very different?.

This is a big topic for me as far as the JWs go. It is just another control mechanism to deny people their own personal and normal reactions. JWs do not know how to grieve because their loved one really isn't DEAD, they are just SLEEPING, like they are on a long vacation. This is really harmful to supress normal feelings. No wonder JWs are so sickly. You are so owned by the man made borg you cannot be you under any circumstances.

It sure seems the borg is just a shadow of it's former self. My god, we studied for 5 meetings a week, repeatedly studied from Gen. To Rev year, after year, after year. Plus all the mags and books. Now they play on their ipads. How could they know anything? This rebranding is just a stripdown and money being socked away somewhere (maybe invested in Trump/Jerad industries.
Who knows and more importantly, who cares. The damage is done.

Loosing Jehovah was the biggest heart break of my life. Knowing that dude was a fabrication pretty much took everything else down the toilet. I will always be amazed at my ability to make total fiction a real part of my life makes me a very gunshy person. probably a bit over reactive to anything smelling faintly like it. It is shocking how those indoctrinations are a natural default setting I have to monitor ALL the time.

I think the worst was not developing normal social skills for you age groups. I read that kids that don't have that are pretty much screwed as development is age related. I get by pretty well. I was a flight attendant for almost 40 years but it was really hard work to act normal. I also have no sense of the future and have a hard time planning life. Oh well. Whatever.

Why pigs???
by stuckinarut2 inwhy did jesus supposedly cast the demons into a herd of pigs?.
(matt 8 / luke 8).
and, how were there so many demons inside one man, that when "released" by jesus, it took a whole pack of pigs to contain them??.

I had an elder speak to this scripture. He said you could learn a couple of things from it. First, demons can't just possess animals willy nilly. The demons had to have Jesus permission to enter them, otherwise all humans and probably all life would be wiped out by those crazy demons. Secondly, in line with the demons desiring physical feelings, as when materializing into men and having sex "with all whom they chose" they would rather enter the pigs and physically dash those porcine bodies to death than be put back in the non feeling ether.
