  my sister is getting baptized soon.

  she's still talking to me but i'm sure it won't be for much longer.

  i've already asked her the following questions:.

  Ask her if she thinks she'll deserve to get disfellowshipped if she gets raped, because she didn't try hard enough to fight the person off.

  CHOICE may be a mere illusion. FREE WILL a trick of the mind's ego

  by Terry in

  1. jw

  things are what they are.. everything acts according to its nature.. nothing escapes its own nature.. we cannot be other than what we are and our "choices" follow our nature.. consequently, can we not say correctly that free choice is merely our ignorance of the fact that all our actions and choices are predetermined by our nature?.

  1. if you are offered either a handful of dog poop or a cold dove bar---is your "choice" really much of a choice?

  2. offer a heterosexual male a night with a hot chick or a hot dude...is the outcome really "choice"?

  quick survey on auto driving method... one foot or two?

  by Gregor in

  with an automatic transmission do you drive with two feet (one on throttle the other for brakes) or one foot for gas and brakes?

  apparently some auto mfgs.

  are making the two foot method tricky through electronics.

  I've always driven automatic, and always driven with my right foot only...I've never even seen anyone drive with two feet.

  I'm new here

  i stumbled across this website a few months back and have often read the topics posted but this is the first time that i've posted anything myself.. all my family are jws - i got baptized when i was 17 but started to fade when i was about 20 and finally left at 22 when i managed to escape to university and move away from home.

  ten years on and i am still out of the org but never disfellowshipped (although i would have been if they'd have known what i've been up to!).

  the relationship with my family is not great - i get on with some members better than others.

  Now That You Can Get Involved In Politics Is It All That Important To You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jws cannot get involved with politics.

  exjws certainly can and based upon responses from this site, many are quite opinionated about political matters.. are you very involved in politics at this point in your life?

  do you really believe that your opinion, your vote means all that in the big scheme of things?

  I'm starting to get a bit interested, yes. I picked up a registration form a while back but forgot to fill it out, but I'll definitely be voting from now on. I stay up to date with a lot of the big things happening, and I'm trying to learn more about politics and how our country works.

  did anyone ever catch a jw kid doing something he shouldnt ?

  by looloo in

  i was walking down my street one day while being a"study " and heard some kids on bikes coming up behind me using every swear word there is aiming it at eachother , but not in anger , i turned round and was really shocked to see it wasthe two sons of an elder who lived near me ,and one of these boys was considered a "fine example " to other young ones .

  because i felt "trapped " by the jws (my kids would die if i didnt stay with them !

  ) i moaned to my pioneer friend about not seeing the point of being a jw if the kids are just the same as "worldly" kids who they are not supposed to mix with and look down on.

  Every kid in my congregation was doing something at some point that they shouldn't have been (according to WTS standards).

  Including me. Seriously, everyone. It was unheard of to meet a kid that hadn't done something.

  palmtree, that's terrible! I'm glad you found another job quickly.

  I'm a dog groomer and recently started working at a private shop. I like it a lot :)

  It's not my "dream career", though, in the future I'd like to be a midwife.
