  Drug overdose causes death of Union Minister’s wife!

  by abiather in

  2. friends

  1) medicine, if taken carelessly, can kill a person!

  this came to the light because the one died was a wife of union minister, who was an under-secretary in un before.

  this can happen, because it was over-dosage.

  Witnesses: Why The 1/19/14 WT Lesson Is Dangerous

  by Apognophos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's watchtower lesson touched on the history of hezekiah's reign, and then made a surprising modern-day application.

  having used my time before the meeting to research the underlying material instead of highlighting my magazine, i personally found this to be an upsetting study, and decided to put this warning here in the hopes that some active witnesses read it.. the most important thing i want to say to you is that the actual flow of events in this bible account were severely misrepresented, and that there are some disturbing implications in the distortions that were made.

  1. hezekiah's father ahaz makes himself a vassal to assyria out of fear of their overwhelming might (2 kings 16:7, 8).. 2. upon becoming king, hezekiah rebels against assyria (2 kings 18:7).

  typically i check this site on my smart phone and cannot post one single letter, but i really enjoy reading your thoughts and experiences especially those that involve anti-witnessing or when jdubs come to your door, so keep them coming.. .

  lately, i have been serving as a duly elected public official in my home county in fl, and attempting to make up for lost time getting my college education.

  i am 3 years in, only have one year left, and i will officially be a registered nurse.

  Euphemisms for cursing among JWs

  by gaiagirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in an effort to show that they had put on a 'new' personality, many who joined the wtbts would adjust their speech patterns to avoid common expressions of cursing or profanity.

  yet there would still arise times when they would become frustrated, angry or disgusted at someone or at a situation, and wish to express their feelings.

  here are a couple of substitutes for cursing heard among jws ...... forget you.

  Who Made The Code?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a few weeks ago, discoveries were made that show that there is another dna code language that rides on top of the already incredibly complex 4-letter code previously discovered.

  this newly discovered code apparently regulates how genes work.

  as i noted in a previous thread, the amount of data storage available in the dna storage system just the size of a pin-head would filll a stack of books stacked from your driveway to the moon .... 500 times!

  I am sorry to say I agree with Dave S, it is a waste of time debating this topic with those who wish to remain ignorant.

  I agree with your child abuse comment. I think the reperession exercised by this cult engenders an unhealthy attitude towards sex. I spent years feeling guilty about masturbating.

  i was going to pick out a few highlights but really, you need to watch the whole thing - it's only 23 minutes.

  seriously, i could feel the bile and frustration rising in my gullet .

  South East England - love of the greater number cooling off

  by truthseeker in

  hi everyone, in the congregation i grew up in, it was very cold and unloving.

  circuit overseers would come and go, they would give counsel and nothing changed.

  at one time even the do came at the same time as the co and gave counsel to 'widen out'.

  It's funny reading this. Colin Conradie was in my congregation before he was appointed to the circuit, we were good friends with his Sister and brother. His sister permed and low-lighted my hair in the 80's. Colin's wife lorraine used to temp in the packing department of a company I worked at.

  Ahhh memories!!!!
