That sucks.
Especially when that scripture is referring to Gehenna. (The word gehenna according to the Greek dictionary is to be taken figuratively.)
this is an actual news article... crazy...
hayden, idaho a man who believed he bore the "mark of the beast" used a circular saw to cut off one hand, then he cooked it in the microwave and called 911, authorities said.
the man, in his mid-20s, was calm when kootenai county sheriff's deputies arrived saturday in this northern idaho town.
That sucks.

Your right, those that are really looking for support and get this, it is really sad...
It's a really tramatic time period in my life right now and I've been fighting off attacks all night. I understand that everyone has there reasons, however, that doesn't take away from the fact that is causes me hurt and pain... Just because somebody else hurt got there feelings hurt does not give them the right to hurt mine.
A lot of people here complain about JWs because they are so judgemental... Something I was trying to get away from myself...

In reply to your insanely vicious comment earlier, I will be sure to notify you when I am verified... Unless, of course, that's just not good enough for you...
Thanks guys for going to bat for me... I really appreciate it.
Cog ~ I see what your saying about not trying to prove myself, however, since I can, I would rather do it. Partly for me... In the back of my mind, its hard for me to be open when I feel people think I'm a troll. I'm doing it also so that I feel comfortable.
ok, so jw relative e-mails me back and says he agrees that its not wrong to question the dogma of men... i said in last night's e-mail that the bible doesn't say that questioning men (the gb) is an act of apostacy-now he agrees.
that means i'm making headway..... then he says that he will "objectivley" research the 607bc thing, and the great crowd thing that i brought up in last night's e-mail.
if he does, he'll know for a fact that the gb has known for years that 1914 is wrong... damn skippy!.
Thats really good to hear Dawg.
I came here to get away from judgemental people. I came here for support.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!
This sucks...
Swalker:
How the heck do I betray myself? Are you serious???
Will you also think coffee_black is lying when she verifies me?
Inkling:
I already did explain on page 2 of this thread but will paste it below:
"I wrote what she told me to write the first 2 posts. She's writing her own now... Maybe you can check and see she's in a total different location then me right now..."
ErynW did check and posted a reply.
Swalker:
Your obnoxious, leave me alone.
