  No One Should Be Made to Choose…..LIES from July 09 Awake

  by Hopscotch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the following quote is taken from the article is it wrong to change your religion?

  in the july 2009 awake p29:

  no one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family.

  Scariest Movie you have ever seen?

  by Layla33 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know as exjws, probably for the most, there was a secret freedom in watching horror films without thinking you would have a demon as a bed buddy.. i am not very fond of every horror movie, but i will watch those that have an intelligent side to it and is not gore for the sake of gore.

  like "the ring" got me going when i first watched it, just like "the blair witch project" did, which is more about suspense.

  anyway, i never saw any of the saw movies, so i am going to try to watch saw iii tonight, since it is on showtime.

  I'm glad I never saw "Them" Gregor if it messed you up more than the House of Wax!

  Weird "end of world" convention advert left in my door yesterday.

  by JWoods in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is a single 8.5 x 11 color page that opens with this drivel: how can you survive the end of the world?

  --- you are warmly invited to come and listen to the answer.... there is a typical watchtower picture of zombie-like survivors coming out of a dark armageddon storm cloud with lightning and thunder, and walking into a spring field of sunshine and flowers.. on the back is quoted mark 13:37 - "keep on the watch".

  (said near 2000 years ago, but continuing on) - four bulletins: stay awake as christian families / know that the end is near / imitate jesus' example of watchfulness / keep in expectation, watching for jehovah's day.. at the bottom is a generic invitation to mail in what is a little coupon for a bible study to the local branch office (no local contact information is given) with entries for such places as trinidad/tobago, ghana, nigeria, curacao, etc.

  "Remember, nobody can REALLY love you unless they know and love Jehovah first."

  "unless they know and love jehovah first.

  they love "jehovah".

  they discuss how to make sure that though they are in charge, everyone doesn't see them, they see the great and powerful jehovah.... oh.

  When I was about 12 I watched the original House of Wax. Gave me the creeps for a long long time. To this day I will not go into a wax museum.

  Your thoughtful opinion is requested, please, on a possible proposal to free my wife from JWs

  by lifelong humanist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  six years 'jw free', my wife is still in, although she's now nowhere neary as zealous as i was when in.

  for this i'm grateful.. please take a moment to review my current situation as far as my wife's involvement is concerned with our 4, adult male children:.

  my wife regularly contacts my dfd son, invites him and his wife to visit us, along with their 4 year old son, and thinks absolutely nothing of it!
