reading about the passing of wings' mom got me to thinking.
my mother has shunned me completely for the past 20 years with the exception of three conversations about health history.
if i outlive my mom, the probability is great that she will die without me ever seeing or talking to her in any kind of meaningful way.
This really upsets me. I feel really bad for everyone who had (or will have) to deal with it.
I do have a question for anyone who experiences such severe shunning: Have you tried just confronting the relative and saying: "You cannot shun me"... ?
Don't let them get by with this. Is it possible to wake them up from their WTS induced sleepwalking?
what color should i use for the trim on my cloak?
an emperor needs a fancy cloak.
i decided on purple, thanks to a suggestion from another poster.
Aren't you entitled to a 10% discount now?
1993 the atf storm the waco compound and david koresh and 82 followers burned to death.
to them the attack was the begining of armagedon, and the furfillment of prophecy.
the more the atf pushed, the more they thought they were god's people, who were being persecuted, and pushed into the apocalypse.
They spin everything...
good things happen = Jehovah is blessing the bOrg... the end is near.
bad things happen = Satan is persecuting them... the end is near.
Also, they still have the Great tribulation card to play, with a very nebulous time frame. Even if something catastrophic happened at headquarters, it would be portrayed as the "begining of the Great Tribulation". And they could milk that for many years.
?
please help if you can.
Weren't the dollar amounts of the settlements sealed from the public?
follow the discussion on these videos, interesting examples of jw-think (click on the links below):.
watchtower comments - valueless propaganda.
watchtower comments - be guided.
JW-Think, cult-think... whatever.
The WTS has done a magnificent job of creating protein robots that never question orders.
It is frustrating, but I find myself feeling sorry for them. Most of us were victims at one time or another.
Try asking a non-apostate JW about his/her theory on the Mesolithic period.
They refuse to believe any human history that predates 4000 BC.
is there just one shred of evidence that proves beyond any doubt that there is a being that is responsible for the existence of the universe and that it continues to have some effect on its inhabitants?
thanks for the inspiration, honesty.
Jehovah... the rough english translation of the lost hebrew name of a fictional character.
i don't think it will stay very long!
this will be the most incredible thing you have ever seen.
it is awesome and shocking.
"circumhorizontal arc... high-altitude cirrus clouds... hexagonal ice crystals..."
that's just "worldly wisdom"... We all know God created rainbows after the flood.
LOL
some scans have been made regarding blood and birthdays in the new book that was released at this year s conventions.
as could be seen from the index of the book, there is an appendix on the topic of disfellowshipping.
this as a topic that definitely concerns quite a few of this board.
Hopefully someone will notice the thread. I would really like to see this information too. ( and I don't want to wait until July to get it)
