i've been doing a lot of thinking and have been leaning toward a new conclusion about god.

i'm thinking that i believe in his existance but think that he does not play an active role in our lives.

he does not cause evil but also does not bless...... what do you think?.

May the MOCKERS learn compassion so that they too may be blessed, by Jehovah, and thus experience everlasting life in its abundance.

Anyone heard of Watchtower policy change concerning pedophiles

by Robert_V_Frazier in

i'm passing this along from someone else on another discussion board.

the claim of any substantive change in the policy on pedophiles is news to me.

can anybody verify or falsify this claim?.

I don't mean to sound "glib". There are SOME things, like TRAUMATIC memories, that we simply MUST throw or roll on to Jehovah, and NOT take them back. These memories are OUR load. WE, victims though we all ARE of the sins of others and ourself, MUST love Jehovah with all that we are and all that we have, and we MUST love our neighbour AS [WELL AS] ourself. Without LOVING this way, we DON'T move on, we CAN'T move on, we bind OURSELF in a self-perpetuating TORMENT. JEHOVAH is our ONLY release, through JESUS CHRIST. Fortunately, the meek SHALL inherit the earth, and Revelation 21:3-4 WILL be fulfilled and the TRAUMA will no longer be called to mind.

My work on JWN is helping ME to overcome MY triggers, and allows me to note measurable progress as I'm able to articulate, just as I am doing HERE. May there be a "forgetting [of] the things behind and [a] stretching forward to the things ahead" [— Philippians 3:13], even for you (Chris a.k.a. Bix Tex) and those in your stories, all of them.

TRIGGERS are NOT fine, even if I close my eyes.

thanx for the encouragement. Good thoughts from Brother Butts. That young brother with the bunch of female coworkers was in a recent WT study.

Some are offended by photos such as this because they stir up IMPURE thoughts.

Multiple-choice questions need to have an out-of-the-box option open, in my honest opinion. The sciences are just like published WT comments. They state opinions as the cutting-edge, when we may have progressed beyond their perspectives.
