  Was my dad awake?!

  by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

  2. experiences

  i am wondering if my deceased elder father was awake?

  once we found out he was dying, i spent every moment i could with him, we were very close.

  anyway, i offered to read to him a lot when he was resting.

  Thank you for your incredibly touching post.

  I will definately re read James & John in your Dad's memory.

  I think your Dad sounds like he was awake and gave you the best advice he could in the situation. He also sounds like a man of principal, a much rarer thing than we would like to believe.

  Sounds like you were priviledged to have him as a Dad😊

  Welcom btw. Don't worry about some of the heated debates we get into here. What you will notice is that most of the real ding dongs are between long time "grown up"members who "know"each other well enough to take the gloves off.

  Most members are very sensitive to "newbies" and those at different stages of their journey.

  Even the most militant just want you to think for yourself really.I guess that's what your Dad was kind of teaching you to do.

  That's the great thing, you can think what you like and even your ideological nemises will be here to support you if you need it.

  Why JW marriage is a huge problem for the organization.

  the difficulty of finding a marriage mate is well known for sisters.

  but i would say it's hard for brothers also.

  i was talking to a jw last night.

  JW marriages often don't work for one simple reason - they marry way too young, before their character has developed, we all know why.

  As others have pointed out what compounds their youth is their emotional immaturity due to their somewhat sheltered life.

  Finally, lack of trust. Again, we know why, the marriage is conditional on the approval of others and compliance with strictly enforced rules.

  It's the godamm clothes they make you wear. Especially in the 80's, man.

  Men in cheap shiny brown or BLUE suits - yuk - padded shoulders and peplum skirts, don't get me started.

  And the record collections. Good grief.I don't care much about looks, but music, now that's serious.

  Which bible character do you hate the most?

  by Bonsai in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the more i think about it, the more i feel an extreme dislike for the apostle paul.

  he was on par with hitler in his treatment of the jews before he "saw the light".

  he replaced jesus teachings of love and mercy with a more legalistic, pharisaical concept of devotion to god.. any evil person can come to believe in god and worship him if the scales were literally and miraculously removed from his eyes.

  Pinehas, son of Eleazar who went into the tent where two lovers (an israelit and a foreign woman) had a rendevous and pierced the pair with his spear.

  7When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he arose from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand, 8and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and pierced both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, through the body. So the plague on the sons of Israel was checked.…

  Oh yes that Phinehas, the one named after the fabulous fury freak brother...killed a guy for marrying a Midianite gaining that idiot Moses approval - you know, the moses married to a midianite women!

  Is my friend on the way out of the organisation?

  by The Rebel in

  when i left the watchtower i realised it was best to put friendships on hold.

  however i mentioned to my best friend that i didn't agree with how they handled child abuse issues and that was one of the reasons i left.. anyway as i am fortunate and own two rental apartments and he is a plumber so we have kept in contact, in that i email him when i require his services and he sends me the invoice.

  anyway i am now dissociated, but yesterday i emailed him about a pluming problem, and he replied.. " sorry we missed going to the indian ( this was a comment made about us having a meal together about 9 months ago, which i backed out of because i felt he was too indoctrinated and i had not disassociated myself) anyway his email continued:-.

  Watchtower Policy Claims Another Teenager

  by Lee Elder in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  a tragic story of how the watchtower unduly influenced or brain washed a 14 year old jehovah's witness into martyrdom.

  the real irony here is the synthetic blood that failed was a hemoglobin solution, and red blood cells are nothing but tiny doughnut shaped bags of hemoglobin.

  any thinking person will conclude that if red cells are blood, then so is hemoglobin.
