  SOME OF YOU ARE SCARY

  by beerose in

  2. friends

  i can't just give up believing in god,but its understandable when god was taking from you,i hope you find peace gods not in a building!

  and he does forgive you when you go to your private place sometimes you can't right a wrong,as long as you add the one you wronged and mean it,we pay all sins through death,christ did that for us!

  no i'm not planting seeds!

  Is there a Christian message without the element of fear/perceived threat?

  by nvrgnbk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so many christians highlight love and mercy as the main point of their religion.. that's undeniably appealing.. but is it true to christianity?.

  in the end, isn't the belief all about escaping god's violent wrath?

  aren't those that are unable to accept the system's contradictions and absurdities promised suffering and eventual destruction as punishment for their disbelief?.

  i say this because i have been helped so much by the many posts that represent the way i feel about the wtbts.

  it is good to know that there are so many people that feel this way.

  i am currently inactive and dont comment but do attend meetings for the sake of the family.. my wife is still in and i have a daughter and one on the way.

  My First Post!!!

  2. friends

  after a year of reading all of your experiences and expressions i decided it was time for me to start sharing some of mine.

  hopefully they can benefit others, like many of yours have benefited me!

  being raised in the wtbts, the jehovahs witness docrine and culture really was the prism from which all of my experiences and understanding of life originated.

  do you feel posting on JWD helps or hinders your recovery?

  by burningbridges in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  sometimes i wonder if posting on this site helps me "recover" from the trauma that the witnesses put me through, and have no doubt it does at times.

  no where else is there such a support team of individuals who know personally what you've been through and how you feel.

  but at the same time, i often wonder if coming on here causes me to obsess in a way, preventing me from "moving on" with my life.
