  Trying to show active JW's that they are 'Apostate' already.

  by ThomasCovenant in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  whenever i have brought up the subject of who will be saved at armageddon with a jw they always, without exception, deny that it is a teaching/ belief of the wt that everyone but them are going to be destroyed.

  there's a very good reason for this of course.

  how many people can go through life constantly aware that at any moment god is going kill 99.9% of the population?

  At first, I thought you'd typed "other demons," Scotty!

  I just realized you were asking for the JW tack, anyway.

  Mine is an atheist tack. Sorry!

  i was going to start calling myself a heretic, but then i decided to look up apostate in the thesaurus.

  That was Lech Wale(n)sa from Poland.

  Thank you HH. I wasn't about to spell, or pronounce it. But I did have a clue!! LW. LOL

  I'm not sure if I spell it or pronounce it correctly!

  H - Glad you like that idea. Certainly beats horrible hortensia! No offense, HL!

  What's that about "LW"? Why LOL?

  All call for "the happiness crowd"!

  all are welcome to join.

  all you have to do is be happy and positive.

  you must honestly want to spread your happiness infectiously throughout the world.. you must try to wear a smile most of the time.. you must listen compassionately and give good hugs.. i does not matter if you are not currently feeling happy, but you must promise to summon the feeling from within yourself.

  Why I dont go along with the "happiness" crowd

  by Junction-Guy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the old saying "happiness is the best revenge", to me that is the most rubbing statement i can ever hear right now.. .

  someone mentioned that jw's dont think anyone can have true happiness outside of their religion, i dont necessarily buy this.. .

  when someone is happy inside the borg, they say its jehovah's blessing, when someone is happy outside the borg they say that satan is blessing them.

  tnangel - I totally agree. Life is challenging. Putting on a happy face if you need therapy and meds and have a sicko family isn't going to be the only way to "be happy."

  You gotta' be where you are to get where you're going.

  bedtime for the unbalanced one.

  Hi JG. Excellent thread.

  How I'm "painted" by others has nothing to do with who I am, unless I internalize the painting.

  Unfortunately for those born-in, the painting often scars.

  We have a responsibility to ourselves to find happiness in whatever way we can and to avoid suffering.

  I find that very, very challenging to do, as a direct result of being brought up a JW by emotionally disturbed family, but I still haven't given up althoghether.

  It's hard.

  Kudos for your efforts, and for everyone's, regardless of paradigms.

  Edited to say that I shall carry this thought with me as much as possible:

  A life dedicated to love and peace has to be better than a life dedicated to revenge and conflict.

  Thanks, nvr!

  I think you might have a new superhero, now.

  The JWD's HH Series.

  Call Neil Gaiman and give him my ideas.

  He won't listen to me, LOL.

  If he's already attractive, stubble's fine to look at, but he better not touch my dainty fair skin with it. Stubble blisters me. ewww.

  ed to say, speaking of Tarzan, why doesn't he have a beard?
