Association: Am i being lied to?
by roxanesophia ini don't hesitate to bring up with the girl i study with, my criticisms of the religion, and one of those is the association.
i keep reading on here that jw's don't make friends outside the cult, and this is what i used as an excuse for stepping further away from being baptized.
she tells me it's not true, and they can have what ever friends they want.

I do not want to be dead when the new system comes.
Ha-ha! Had to laugh at this one^^^^.
Millions who once lived and are now dead, were convinced that they will live to see the new system.
Jayson, buddy, there ain't no new system. It's a shameless scam pulled by the greatest pyramid scheme in religion.

Apostates part from 2011 DC Symposium
by baltar447 ini just got through listening to the part on apostates.
.
they basically ignored any true questions or critisisms in favor of an ad hominem character attack on apostates.. they made the assertion that "apostates" are 1-prideful, 2-ingrateful, 3-impatient.. anyone that's listened care to discuss the part?.

Please help me!!!
by focariedu21 injust had the last of my sibblings treating my dad like dirt.
my younger sister recently conveyed to me that my other sibblings jws of course will not give dad any money to purchasde a pair of shoes for himself to wear at my daughters wedding as he has a pair of sandals he can wear, all this just to piss me off .
they have power of attorney over his estate and collect all the money and ever since mum passed away in a nursing home that they arranged for her and dad because they wouldn't look after him nor allow myself nor my younger sister to look after him and ever since then he cant even buy a lolly pop for himself.

Focariedu21,
Sorry to hear about your ordeal. No parent should be treated like that.
If I am not mistaken, the POA can be revoked. As long as your father is not incompetent, PoA giveth-PoA taketh. I am not a lawyer and don't really know your situation, but it may be something to consider.
I understand the shoes were a test, but if dad can't afford it maybe a thrift store or another affordable way can be the way to go.
Good luck and don't forget to keep your daughter's big day focused on her!

And Just Like That, FamilyRadio has....
by Yan Bibiyan in....a new website landing page, without any mention whatsoever of the may 21 fiasco.. i guess the bible's guarantee was worth less than the warranty of a used car from a salvage yard..... their tv ad is still live on vimeo, although not in english.
(may 21, 2011 from family radio on vimeo.).
anyone involved with web design knows that this transition does not happen overnight - sure the redirects take a second to put in place but the whole new website was prepared in advance....so much for faith, huh?.

Thanks Moshe!
Oooh, this is just too rich to ignore from cashed pages:
" What if May 21 ends and nothing occurs?
The Biblical evidence is too overwhelming and specific to be wrong. Christ's people can look with great confidence to this date because God promises H is "beloved" He will not come upon them as a thief in the night.
God in His mercy has revealed the vital information needed to know the day. Judgment Day on May 21, 2011 will occur because the bible declares it. Anyone whom God has not saved will arrive at that day with no hope for salvation. God warns simply the "door will be shut."
" What about all those in the past who predicted Jesus would come in their day?
Many religious groups and individuals throughout history have predicted Jesus' return, but they were always wrong. No theologian, no matter how learned or intelligent, could know the day because God had not revealed it. The scriptural evidence needed to know the exact day could not be known before 1988, the year the 'Church age' ended. The Bible indicates prior to this year that date could not be known.
Many Church leaders of the past looked at political as well as natural events to prove their predictions and they were repeatedly wrong.
God is the guardian of His secrets. The words needed to know the time of the end " are closed up and sealed till the time of the end"
"What do you say to those who insist we cannot know the precise date of Judgment Day?
For one to object to May 21 st , 2011 one must have BIBLICAL AUTHORITY to do so. Objections cannot be based upon consensus, traditions or fear. God has given far too many biblical proofs for anyone to disregard May 21 simply because he or she does not like it."

Been there, sinis, gets better with time.
Keep telling yourself that you don't want to mess up your progress. There is no downside to quitting. Hang in there...
Oh, and cold turkey all the way - once you slip it's ten times harder to get back on track!
