If you can't say something good about someone say nothing ...my Mum
You made the mess you clean it up ...also my Mum
one of the books from the bible i still value is proverbs.
it's a collection of wise observations of life.
it causes me to think, which is a good thing.. however, i also know that among us former jw's are life lessons that can be reduced to that of a proverb.

i used to believe that the brothers that lead the org were sincere seekers of truth.
sure they made mistakes but they were doing their best and i could trust them.
then i learned about fallacious argumentation and found that the wt was full of it... circular reasoning,straw man ,ad hominem etc.
I used to believe that the brothers that lead the Org were sincere seekers of truth. Sure they made mistakes but they were doing their best and I could trust them. Then I learned about fallacious argumentation and found that the WT was full of it... circular reasoning,straw man ,ad hominem etc. If they sincerely believe they have the truth...why the need to be so deceptive in supporting their doctrine?
i was disfellowshipped when i was going through my first bipolar episode.
several months before being disfellowshipped, i started to develop the symptoms of bipolar disorder: rapid thoughts, sleepless nights, etc., until i finally started having delusions.
i began to think i was jesus (literally) so i was disfellowshipped for apostasy.
My ex is bipolar and had the courage to seek medical help despite the fact it was frowned upon by the Org and her peers. One time she was suicidal and took an overdose.. told me what she had done and finished up in hospital. I rang her psych for advice etc and knowing the possible consequences did not involve the Elders. Later after she tried again.... she did not tell me but instead she told an Elder. He kept it to himself and did tell me. I knew her history. I was her husband. Can you imagine the possible consequences of this ignorant bastard withholding this information.
i just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on the board.
i haven't been here that long but from the time i've spent here, i feel very comfortable.
i've been on boards before (witness ones) where everyone is so opinionated, heartless and holier than thou....but this one is so different.
They belittle and put down and justify themselves with going 'by the bible'.
Comes I believe from having no sense of personal worth so they try to gain it at the expense of others.......... Anyway that's another topic......... Welcome girl and if anyone belittles you here I, and I'm sure many others, will stick up for you.
"altai court condemns jehovah's witnesses for 'extremism' ".

provided the practice of that belief doesn't harm other people
This board would not exist if the Jw cult was not harmful. And what can we do about it legally...nothing ...because the courts refuse to get involved ...thanks to the sacred cow "freedom of religion" Any secular organization would be held accountable. The Russian Gov seem to understand the threat of unbridled WT propaganda and want to protect their citizens... I say good on them
a good friend and long-time elder just back from patterson, asked me what i thought is he most prevalent problem elders are facing today....told him i had no idea.... he said "pornography" by far the most vexing problem for them... hard to believe, no?.
Now you know why they ask Sisters so many unnecesary personal questions during JC's dealing with immorality Perverts
from a little bird... .
interesting portions highlighted.
notes from annual meeting (oct 3, 2009) .
Can someone explain this to me in super layman's terms? I don't really get it - they're complex!
Don't feel bad Greenie thats the whole idea..... Make your head spin trying to understand what the fuck their talking about..... Give up ....Tell youself this is really deep spiritual food.. and accept their conclusions. Used to happen in my day with Fredies rantings
to the household of god, israel, and all those who go with... may you have peace!.
i was flipping through channels sunday morning and came across a show entitled "jewish jewels.
" now, ordinarily, i don't even give such shows any time, regardless of the religion - i would rather be "fed" directly by our faithful and discreet slave, christ.
Great interpretation Outlaw
Can you help me with Revelations?........FXXXed if I can understand it.
too cut a long story short i left the truth and my wife left me after asking her for a divorce.. .
a few days later i found a packet of condoms (one was missing) hidden in her possessions.
if i presented this to her local body of elders would they consider judicial action?.
If your out and intend to stay out and don't need a scriptual divorce....what's the point?
because i have carefully looked over every picture and representation i can find of the so called paradise earth published in the last 30 years.
there are people in all sorts of clothing from many cultures, american casual, african, asian, hispanic, and others.. but i have not seen a single image that shows you kilt wearers will make it into the new systemtm!.
does that make you so angry that your sporran stands on edge?.
Do you nae wear anythin under ye kilt there Jock? Put ye hand up lassie an yeal find oot. Ock I Jock thats grusum....Put ye hand up again lassie an sheel grusum more.
Could be that the GB consider the Scots not wearing underpants immodest and a bad example
