  if you got to choose who your children would be, i'd choose luca.

  he is all the things that i'd like to be myself.

  there is no human who holds more weight for me than him.

  "I'm going to love him not on my terms, but on his... unconditionally."
  
  
  What else is there to say?
  
  Only that if there were more people like you, this world would be a much better and peaceful place.
  
  I truly admire you!

  I lurk more than anything else. But mostly, I come here to learn. And I have learned so much from all posters, real people, each and every one with his/her own opinion and perspective. Priceless.

  Do you think the Society has spies on sites like this?

  by easyreader1970 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not that any of them would post, but do you think that they have people who they secretly have visit anti-jw sites and forums like this just for the purpose of seeing what people are saying about them and what their current members might stumble upon?.

  if you google jws, the first couple are official, the next two are wikis, then you have an anti-jw site and then there's this one.

  any current or potential member that is looking for more information than is published by the wbts will be directed to these sites.

  Yes, I believe they do.
  
  If not, how would they be so well informed about apostate sites in the first place?
  
  And believe me...they ARE well informed!

  How do the elders know if you are truly repentent?

  by jetery in

  2. experiences

  the reason why i ask is because whenever u are df and u are trying to get reinstated they are always tellling u that u have to produce fruits befitting repentenace like attending the meetings,etc.

  they always make it seem that since they are gods spirit-directed org.

  that he will know whether or not if a person is repentent.

  btw...my reply about JWs reading hearts and minds was "sarcastic"
  
  seems as if some interpreted it as serious.

  When lying isn't lying JW style

  by bronzefist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this is an old topic, but there are many new ones onboard so here goes..... i went to the book study (it's been more than a year since i last had the pleasure)... revelation book chapter 39 paragraphs 1-13. when paragraph 13 finally comes around...... 13 does this mean that jehovahs witnesses are against all government?

  they obey the apostle pauls counsel: "let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities.

  " they realize that as long as the present system lasts, those "superior authorities" exist by gods permission for maintaining a measure of order in human society.

  the battle rages on, i sent this letter to try to give support...what do you think?.

  ok, i'm done with the _____thing...but i took the option to participate in going to the kh with you.

  i making an effort, but at times you turn away from my questions and you'd never do that to a "book study".

  Seems to me the lady needs some breathing space big time! Her mind is obviously torn and hard at work right now.
  
  Do not give up on her, but give her some time...

  I am sorry. But in my book, "stretching the truth" IS lying! And in the frame of mind I am right now, I would have said so...right then and there!

  One Reason Why I Worship the God of the Bible

  by snowbird in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while this may be construed as a rebuttal to nvr's thread re: why i post about atheism, that is not my intent.. it is my intent, however, to show how i developed a belief in and love for the god of the bible.. my paternal grandfather, who died before i was born, was a baptist preacher, so you could say i cut my teeth on the bible.

  i loved having it read to me, and once i learned how, reading it for myself.

  i'm convinced that spirituality runs deep in my blood.. i've always had such a strong sense of right and wrong that injustices make me literally sick.

  Re: "Conclusion: anybody who loves the god of the Bible is a very sick and disgusting person, not to mention: delusional, ignorant, immoral, dangerous, confused, clueless, senseless, twisted and insane. Let me see, could I state that in even harsher terms? I'll leave it at that for now. Oh, and "capable of believing just about anything," or naive."
  
  
  Wow! Hope I am not all those bad things! Nah...I am sure I am of the "capable of believing just about anything, naive" class":-)
