so last night my 6 year old tells me that her dad said to her while tucking her in at night "mama is going to die because she caused the divorce, and grandpa wanted mommy to divorce me all the days of his life.".

(my dad left the lie when i was 5, and i left a year ago... and subsequently am almost through with the divorce and the ex is a bitter, ignorant, crazy tempered jw).

so its all our fault, and i am going to die, makes sense.. last night i called up the ex and told him that he was nothing short of a mental pedophile, that you don't tell your daughter her mother is as good as dead, and he needs to knock it off and he is in violation of our anti-disparagement agreement that the courts have insisted on due to the religious and personal strife between us.

That is Child Abuse !!!

I grew up the same way thinking that my mom would be killed because she never went out in service with us.

Meaning of "Generation"

by brotherdan in

i'd like to give my opinion on what jesus use of the word "generation" means, and then ask all of you to post what you think it may mean.. the wt seems to be obsessed with the concept of a scripture having multiple meanings.

while i think this can be true, they go overboard with the concept.

primarily matthew 24 was speaking of the events that took place in 70 c.e.

I agree with cantleave and notverylikely. That is what the evidence shows.

Great Watchtower quote

by 5thGeneration in

just stumbled on this looking up medition because of another post.. you just gotta laugh and cry at the same time.. http://www.watchtower.org/e/20020401/article_01.htm.

should faith be based on reason?

"there are too many 'religious' people who become religious precisely to avoid having to think," writes the dean of a theological seminary in the united states.

hi guys.

i know there's a few ebay sellers on here, so sorry for the totally non jw themed post... but.... i am out of work at the moment and the job situation is quite bad here in the uk for it workers so i decided to start selling small items on ebay.

with uk amounts in pounds sterling, this is how selling a 99p item with 91p postage breaks down:.

I was a very large seller on ebay 2 years ago. My sales were about $40,000 per month with a profit of about $4,000 per month. I was selling about 50 to 100 items per day with a low profit margin, and I was happy with it. It all changed when eBay changed the seller requirements for feedback, and then they Double/Tripled the final value fees. I am mad at eBay because they had a good thing and then messed it up.
