No One Should Be Made to Choose..LIES from July 09 Awake

by Hopscotch in

the following quote is taken from the article is it wrong to change your religion?

in the july 2009 awake p29:

no one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family.

he mentions jehovah's witnesses several times, and uses it as an example.. there is no way in the world i could have read this book before, and even if i did, i bet i would have thought that other groups are cults.. not anymore.. thanks, people.

so i made another meeting..#2....not as bad this time...

by oompa in

my texting prowess during the meeting continue to improve...mostly during wt study which i can totally tune out....the talk was actually good....but the best part.....i got to go out to lunch with wife and 8 old friends and knock back a few brews!....ones who have never shunned me anyway so the true friends...true, i can go out with them at other times, but it was nice being with my wife and hangin out after da meetin.

i also brought some other reading material in the back of my bible....hey, i might be able to do this a couiple of times a month, and my wife knows 100% now i do not believe the bible is inspired, i do not believe in an active spirit world, and that we do not have the truth, and that the fds may be sincere, but do not have a clue what the bible means and are not led by holy spit!.....................oompa.

St. Patrick: A Covenant with Brotherhood of the Snake?

by cameo-d in

pious legend credits patrick with banishing snakes from the island, though all evidence suggests that post-glacial ireland never had snakes;[38] one suggestion is that snakes referred to the serpent symbolism of the druids of that time and place, as shown for instance on coins minted in gaul ...... .

could it be that this legend originates from a covenant agreement between the doctrinal control of religion and the brotherhood of the snake?.

I think this camel's back is broken (the final straw)

i got home from work last night and guess what happened while i was gone?.

my wife tells me she called the presiding overseer to set up a time for all of us to talk about our premarital no-no's.. "really?

" i asked her.

It has bothered her for awhile, coming up from time to time. She says now that she knows how I feel about the organization she realizes I will never go to them and confess on my own. And so she feels since I won't, she must.
How long have you been married sorry I forgot, but if it looks like you have both had Jehovahs blessing for this extended period of time, they won't do anything to either of you anyway. It will be all for nothing to sit before some guys and they read nothing bibically yet take notes and God knows who reads the file later....
