  surely most of you have had this experience at least once .

  you start a topic / thread and before you know it somebody has taken it way off on another tangent, completely away from your original topic , and evrybody has gone down that path .and you come back and think wtf ?

  happened here .?

  Probably because everyone has their own agenda and see's what they have to say as the most relevant.

  Now, stay tuned for a bunch of people taking this off topic....

  NEW STUDY AT THE KINGDOM HALL. ADVICE NEEDED.

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as the title suggests, there is a young man studying the bible teach book and attending meetings.

  at every meeting that he has attended, there have been some really cultish comments.

  of course i hear them loud and clear now, and for years then were coming through, that is why i woke up.. anyway, at the meeting i was sitting there, hating it, listening to all the emotion comments from the audience.

  Find out more about him first. I mean as bad as the WT is, just say he was a drug addict trying to find a purpose and the JWs may be the medicine to go straight. Pull the magic carpet out from under him may make him return to worse.

  Extreme example i know, but not everyone should be woken up. I beleive that if you wake up another you are responsable for what may follow.

  because myself i could not find a perfect solution without raising collateral questions.. .

  As the WT have taken it upon themselves to decide who is a predator of children or not, i imagine the 'paradise' run by these men will be worse as there would not be any law to take them to task for it...

  a paradise but for who?

  Idiots

  they set up an flawed procedure of shipping magazines and then have to issue detailed procedure on how to receive them.

  DUH...just dont 'nest' them in the first place!

  Conversation with a Seminary Student in Starbucks today

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a distilled (and from memory) reconstruction of a chat this morning.... my 81 year old ex-baptist minister friend dub and i went to starbucks for coffee and conversation.

  dub likes to start conversations with strangers.. today a seminary student caught his eye.

  they talked for about half an hour before dub dropped me into it.

  That Terry is cautious about people who claim they DO know god is not the focus of the post. To debate the statement about being cautious is to miss the point entirely!

  The point so far as i can tell is that the believer cannot prove anything beyond their own assertations.

  Experimenting With New Ideas since leaving the WT

  by lovelylil in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have always been intrigued about why we dream and recently signed up for a course on dream interpretation.

  the course includes a great book written by sigmund freud.. this would have been oh soo taboo if i was still in the borg.

  probably would have been df'd for it.. was wondering how many others out there have studied a subject or experimented with new ideas that "mother" would not have approved of since leaving the org, and what you learned from it?

  getting back to the subject of dreams...

  i wish there was a way to program what we will dream...or at least be able to record them for playback later!

  Why did you pick the name you have now

  by label licker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering if your name describes what you saw, how you were treated when you were "in" or now "out", maybe your personality, ect.... i'm label licker and the why i picked this name was because of all the licking up one side of elders and down the other to either be an elder or ministerial servant.

  one time i was standing right in front of this brother who wasn't made an ms yet and he totally ignored me and talked right over my head speaking really loud trying to catch the co's attention.. got sick of watching the poor elderly sitting all alone or standing against the wall like a wall flower with noone to talk to and yet all these label lickers would take turns picking up the elders elderly parents and take them shopping and do their groceries at least four times a week while out in service, yet, there was noone there to take a meal to a sister who just got out of the hospital with a heart attack.

  when i had shown up at her apartment with a meal she asked if i could wash her private and change her bandages.
