SD-7- Post 187 of 187 Since 7/31/2009 Oh! I didn't realize this entry was so long! I'm sorry...I'll be more careful next time. Don't worry, yours are not near as long as other ones on here recently. Do your research and write your conclusions. Maybe some will benefit from your example and remember they are not writing a novel, or the latest issue of the watchtower. Thanks

First Thessalonians - some thoughts to share
by sd-7 inin just this one letter, i found some very interesting thoughts.
in the context of those who are jehovah's witnesses and claim that their religion is modeled after first-century christianity, i think we are faced with a few questions and some real food for thought.
let's get right into it.. the first thing i notice, in having read all 5 chapters, is the significant near-absence of the name jehovah.

By doing it quickly, it is done fast so there are less headaches with a project that drags on for months, burning up massive amounts of manpower. Also, you don't have the problem of building materials going up by 5-15% for lumber, plumbing and electric supplies. That could really cut into the budget if the construction drags on.

Friend going to elders soon for a spankin' Any current / ex elders here?
by JerkhovahsWitless ini have a jw friend who's done somethings with his jw girlfriend in the porneia category.
not intercourse though.. he wants to go to the elders and confess.
i'm not sure of his reasons why, i mean he sees the bs of the cult.

Also an issue that will come up is how many times they engaged in these actions. Just once can be overlooked and private reproof. If they occured several times their actions show they were not repentant because they did not confess to the almighty elders after the first occasion. And questions in graphic details will be asked, be ready for any question imaginable from these old guys who have to live their sex life through people they are going to punish. They truly are perverts, but make it all look righteous.

Some Conclusions I Have Reached
by AllTimeJeff ini wonder if everyone here who has kept up with me since i left jw's realize why i have been coming on here.
it certainly has been cool to know that some of my experiences and opinions have helped some.
i hope they know that i have been equally helped by others.. i come here primarily for me.

PS- Jesus must of been a sneeky SOB, Imean he could have just come out and said things right? I mean he was the WORD of God, why mislead? why confuse?
Maybe he is just like his father in the OT.

I have changed sides
by AK - Jeff inalmost imperceptible over time in some areas.. almost everything i ever believed, i have proven to be false.
almost every bit of my deep seated faith is uprooted by reason.. i am not bitter.
but i am quite reflective these days of how much i have changed.

why i wept bitterly in front of two elders......
by oompa innot sure if i ever shared this...but have seen several "sharing" threads here lately and it motivated me..... when i met with the co and po about some doubts and an important question....and when i got the co's answer.....i could not speak....i put my head down and just started crying...not sobbing cause i fought it back...finally the only words to come out were..."i am going to have to leave my wife and son"....and they were like wtf?...but in jw lingo of course.
see i knew in that instant...that very moment....that i had been lied to my entire life...and my stack of doubts i had been piling on the shelf and waiting on jehovah were all valid....and i knew i would never fit in again...not even with my wife and son...that i would never be the spiritual head they needed and wanted.....that was almost 4 years ago...man time flies...and yep...now i am separated from my jw wife...and yep...i did not fit in...not even with her...and my son is older now and moved out but we are not close.
btw...i had printed out all 12 places in rev.

Yes, it is an awful feeling when you realize that the whole thing you based your actions and beliefs on was a lie, Thanks for sharing oompa, and I hope you are doing well. Still looking foreward to that bike ride this spring.

I got out in 06 due to the hypocracy and the nonsense teachings. I should say I checked out mentally years before, walked away in 06. No net needed.
