i think that pretty much says it all.we can all whine and groan about how the society has wronged us and how they are so self preserving and wrong , EVIL, false, controling decieving, self righteous,and whatever.those who speak of giving up or god is dead or now i smoke pot and god loves me or now i commit fornication and its okay or those that get drunk and say thats okay.man some of you sound like the apostate definition according to the society.THE EVIL SLAVE.in order not to allign yourself with SATAN your job i think is simple.stop doing wrong.
not....FORNICATION...! (actually, i've never gotten drunk or smoked pot, so there.)
quit trying to have sex outside of marriage,smoking pot,lieing cheating and stealing.i dont care who you are you dont want to die. ive tried it twice and am glad im still here.im no wuss either former power lifter very veril and have 4 children.some of you kill me with your live for today mentality.i have a hard time believing that you chose to leave rather than being disfellowshipped and just feel bitter.
i've don't remember l-y-i-n-g or cheating or stealing anything either. why does having four children make you v-i-r-i-l-e, just curious? the witnesses are the ones who live for today, marking off days until the end comes. we are the ones busy planning our futures...yeah i did leave that racket, willingly. i was not disfellowshipped. i just...walked away.
what do you want for your kids and ,much least for yourself?ive not heard anyone give an example of teaching their children the christlike personality.god help us all for we surely need it...........................................................prove me wrong
um, what is "the christlike personality"? if you mean being loving, compassionate, kind, caring, and thoughtful, i didn't need the WTS to teach my child that.
what i want for my child is something i never had... freedom to think and form his own opinions and view of the world; independence, confidence and self-reliance; educational opportunities; a life free from regimentation, thought control, anxiety, depression and religious oppression; and being able to explore his own spiritualtiy and finding God in his own way, if that is what he wants to do. that was one thing that always bothered me about the whole JW experience... it was so homogenized and sterile, completely without icons and imagery and beauty... i felt as if a place to worship God should have felt more ... holy, not... "sanitized for your protection". thank you.
