  What is the "world" we must not love?

  by Awakened at Gilead in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  john2:15-17)15 do not be loving either the world or the things in the world.

  if anyone loves the world, the love of the father is not in him; 16 because everything in the worldthe desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of ones means of lifedoes not originate with the father, but originates with the world.

  17 furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of god remains forever.. how do you understand this scripture after leaving jws?.

  Mothers are special.....

  by lavendar in

  first off, happy mother's day to all the mothers out there!.

  the bible says we are to honor our mother & father.

  that's why i don't understand why witnesses don't acknowledge their mothers on mother's day....and their fathers on father's day.

  Virtually all JWs have been taking blood fractions and don't know it!

  a notable member of this forum tipped me off to this fact, and i recently checked up on it.. check out the cdc's ingredient list for vaccines:.

  http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/b/excipient-table-2.pdf.

  any vaccine you see with the ingredients "bovine albumin", "bovine serum", "human serum albumin", are made from blood!.

  "Why does America always bomb other countries?", my son asked tonight.

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first of all i do not want to turn this into an american bashing thread, that is not my intention at all.. i would like to hear americans opinions as to what my thirteen year old son asked me tonight.. on the way back from swimming tonight my two sons (13 and 11) and myself started talking about wars.

  my 11 year old was the first to bring it up talking about wwi & ww2.

  we had an interesting conversation about it, then the subject got onto nuclear bombs.

  A God I can believe in

  by DanTheMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i sometimes feel this spiritual void inside, like i'm standing at the edge of an abyss, and it's so much that i can hardly take it.

  the odd thing about it is that i always feel it when i'm starting to get close to a lady, close enough to where those deep feelings start to arise - where a momentary look into her eyes feels like a thousand years of life experience and the ephemeral nature of life becomes most painfully plain.

  i think that i need to believe in god, somehow, someway, if i'm gonna get through life without going nuts and/or doing myself harm.

  I think I just need to tell the story to someone who will get it?

  hi everyone, im new.

  i've been feeling a burden on myself for the years that i have been out and i just don't know how to ease it.

  i can't talk about the organization or the people in it to anyone... if i try i immediately feel sick and want to close up and just disappear.

  Thank you, Watchtower, Bible and Tract Society!

  by David_R in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wanted to say thank you to the wbts for enforcing a 'no-contact' rule on all those that have left the organization.. only by experiencing first-hand my former best-friends treating me like a complete stranger (see 'garbage') for standing up for my own beliefs was i finally able to tell the society 'good-bye' forever and not feel guilty about it.. i know this was not the wbts's intention from the alienation practice.

  it's intention was to make me feel guilty and lonely enough to come back to them.

  however, it has backfired on them and finally given me my freedom.. thank you, society, for lacking kindness and understanding.
