  I have been DF'ed for 7 years.......Every witness I have ever run into with the exception of ONE has carried on a full animated conversation with me. Usually they initiate it too.

  JW unwittingly shares article PROMOTING pot smoking

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, my wife is surfing facebook today.

  comes across a post by a jw "friend" of ours titled "8 scientific reasons you should never smoke weed.".

  it turns out to be an article actually showing evidence to the contrary!

  It will be interesting to see how the society handles the legalization of cannabis. Especially since they cannot use the old fallback that smoking destroys your lungs because a lot of the pot today is inhaled by vapor pens or eaten as an edible.

  Really good article!

  Happy that you are here!

  I know what you mean about the day being ruined when you have to attend a meeting that evening. It took me years of being out before I could find anything good about Tuesdays and Thursdays. They were cursed days for four decades.

  I'm my favorite type of JW - Double Life

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the borg's tactics on most jw work.

  they put fear into their mind, they guilt trip them and basically make them scared to do anything when they are away from the kingdom hall.

  it allows them to control every aspect of their life.

  Before I left JW land, I confided to a number of my married female friends that I was getting huge bills from the phone company for #800...porn (thanks to the activities of my elder husband.) Every sister I confided in told me their husband was enjoying the pornography industry also. Most of these sisters were elder's wives.

  Jehovah kicks a puppy

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  technically incorrect, but effectively he does .... if we're to believe the genesis account the serpent deceived eve and made her eat of the tree of knowledge.

  it all went pear shaped from there on in, although most people believe it was an apple (boom tish).. but anyway .... either it was a literal serpent that could talk on it's own behalf or, as people typically believe, it was satan who was the puppet master and possessing the creature.. the first raises all sorts of questions that contradict the whole bible narrative (another creature that could reason, talk, debate existence and law etc...) so let's go with "the satan theory".. how does got react to his 'perfect' creation immediately being completely imperfect as soon as he takes it out of the box?

  (he's like 0 for 4 ... satan, serpent, woman, man ... all break his rules).

  One of the older publications (I'm thinking it is Life Everlasting in the Freedom of the Sons of God) had a Garden of Eden picture with a snake that had stubby legs and feet.

  Because of this picture, I was sure that I had secret knowledge of snakes that none of my school mates in the 3rd grade had.

  This article is pure pleasure. I thought at first it was a joke, but apparently not. It seems the key to converting an atheist is to not bring up science or the Bible....hmmmmm......but, they say to take genuine interest by talking about food. Yeah, that always does it for me.....mention my breakfast burrito and Jesus here I come!
