  Cornerstone,

  Thank you for insight. You are correct about the strong hold that the borg has on its followers. In fact, I tried to talk to my Dad about the WTS and its association with the UN through the NGO. He said he wanted to look up the info on the internet and he has avoided the conversation with me since. I asked him once if he looked it up and he said that he didn't have time and then changed the subject.

  I think we did the right thing by leaving too. I just didn't want to have the situation escalate anymore.

  Thanks

  I am so pissed off. I just got home from my father's house. My husband and I were over there for the evening. I guess I should give you some background information. He and his wife are Df'd. They are both dF'd because they each left their mates (i.e. my mom, and her husband) for each other. That was 3 years ago and they are still trying to get reinstated. I have never told them to stop trying to be reinstated or that their belief were incorrect or anything.

  Anyways, we were over there and it came up about the United states and terrorism. It was just a casual discussion on terrorism, the war and the UN. What I told him is that I think that the United States should strike. Also, if things got so bad that they would institute the draft and if it got to the point were my husband (who is 29) would be a candidate for it, we would both probably just sign up rather than waiting for the draft. My father proceeded to start to yell at me and state that I was unintelligent simple because of my thoughts. And that if I thought that the United States could do anything, I was even more unintelligent because they were only graced with power because Jehovah God gave it to them. And that no over power ever had power unless God gave it to them.

  I was furious. Mostly because, even though in the last 3 years I have never condemmed my father because of his beliefs in this religion, I have only stated to him that I think he handled the situation between him and my mother inappropriately, nothing ever about his religion.

  It totally angers me that even though I have bit my lip about his beliefs, which I believe none of, he doesn't respect mine. Especially after he has lived in that religion for almost 50 years to my 26. I don't understand why he cannnot see the hypocrisy in them after all of this time.

  I have always respected him enough to not say anything to him about this. But, the one time I finally give him my opinion he calls me unintelligent. That was it. It took approximately 15 seconds for me to put my shoes on and me husband and I to pull out of his driveway.

  Sorry just letting off steam.

  Tina,

  Yeah you are right about milking the tragedy. That is about the only reason they would help out.

  Lovesdubs,

  I am curious, How did you come across this link. It doesn't sound like anything the JW's would do. Even if it was only to open up garages to "worldly" people.

  I would have to say that most of the df'd people I knew were eventually reinstated, but usually they only did it for their family. Then they would eventually leave again but in a more "subtle" "slow fade" kind of way. I don't have a clue on any figures on this though.

  Origin of Halloween?

  by Isis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember hearing a "story" or "myth" or whatever you want to call it when i was younger in regards to the origin of halloween.

  the way the story goes is this:.

  a few angels fall from heaven and form human bodies for themselves.. they take human wives.. then they have their children, "the nephilim".. these nephilim are killed in the flood.. when the angels leave their human bodies they mourn their dead children.. the night that they mourn these children is later known as all hallows eve or the night the demons mourn thier dead.. has anyone else here ever heard this story?

  drahcir yarrum,

  That was so rude for him, (Or anyone else for that matter), to try and compare the commitment of getting married to that of Bethel. He was just iritated to loss the free help. I would say your scoring is correct.

  Hi All,

  Maybe someone here can help me. I remember hearing a "story" or "myth" or whatever you want to call it when I was younger in regards to the origin of Halloween.

  The way the story goes is this:

  A few angels fall from heaven and form human bodies for themselves.
  They take human wives.
  Then they have their children, "the nephilim".
  These nephilim are killed in the flood.
  When the angels leave their human bodies they mourn their dead children.
  The night that they mourn these children is later known as All hallows eve or the night the demons mourn thier dead.

  Has anyone else here ever heard this story? If so, is it written anywhere as reference?

  I am not saying I believe this as the actual facts of halloween, I was just curious if anyone else had ever heard it this way.

  drahcir yarrum,

  That is a wild story to say the least. How long did you stay at Bethel after that?
