Been relocating over the past few weeks. Things are good.... Kind of turned a corner spiritually. Too much to discuss right now. Let's just say I told God if we ain't on speaking terms (after screaming at the sky) then I am on my own and I am not going to worry so much about him but more about me. Run on sentence I know.... Dang I missed Alice.... LOL

I was cleaning out my place the other day. Found a NWT that I tossed but before I did I read John 1:1. It made no sense in the NWT. The word was "a god" I thought the Ten Commandments uhhh specifically # 1-2 rulled out "gods". The belief that Michael is Jesus which is also the word is obviously a weak attempt to push it all together in JW doctrine. It's wrong.

Worldly Shunning

by alice.in.wonderland in

i hear quite a bit of criticism about jehovah's witnesses enforcing 1 corinthians 5:9-13. while jehovah's witnesses have a formal system of maintaining the organization's core values; egocentric, self-worshiping secularists have an informal system of rejecting those of whom they have nothing in common with.

http://www.objectivistcenter.org/cth-32-390-religion.aspx.

most major religions have believed in the existence of a supernatural realm, a realm beyond the natural world of physical objects and bodies governed by causal laws, the world we perceive with our senses and can study by rational methods.

Alice,

Why do you argue things that you supposedly don't feel sorry about? Are you just looking for a constant argument? Are you that lonely? I already asked you out on a date....

Interesting experience on SL...JeHOvah's Witness and I have an encounter

by mindmelda in

jw
friends

i go to a women's discussion group on sl, second life, which is a virtual community where you do all sorts of things, including entertainment, discussion groups, media, and just socializing through the use of animated avatars which can be quite realistically human or whatever you want them to be, really, aliens, elves, dragons, vampires, etc.. anyway, a woman there brought to the discussion a situation where she had her real life husband wants to divorce her for a witness woman he had met..and get this...she had come to his door after the couple separated and offered him a bible study, and apparently instead, it turned into a romance and then, according to the woman, her husband and this woman are hitting the sheets.

(you're not supposed to call on the opposite sex alone, and do doubt this is one reason...too many lonely witness women who'd jump on the first piece of dude they meet!

lol).

I don't know what's scarier the story about the JW or going "virtual" clubbing... LOL

Has the org changed their position on associating with non-JW family?

by Wild_Thing in

jw
friends

it would take too long to explain how this conversation came about, but my jw sister recently told me that the organization now teaches that you can (she even suggested that you "should") have a relationship with family members who are not jw.

she didn't specify whether they meant family who were never jws to begin with, or what, but in the context of the conversation we were talking about family members raised as jws but then left (not disfellowshipped or formally disassociated ... just left).. she said they even had a talk about it at the convention this summer, and had an experience of someone who reconnected with family after 10 years.

she said they said you should have a relationship with them, even if they never become witnesses.

Cagefighter

I think you might be right. I've noticed a lightening up in my family and my story is similar to yours. I beat my family down with guilty and exposing all the contradictions long ago so we called a truce about 10 years ago... LOL.

Do you believe the Bible?

by Cagefighter in

i don't want to high jack african gb's thread but something got me thinking.... moses, abraham were inbred and hearing god's voice... paul never met jesus yet he is the only apostle coming down like a hammer of gays and has this "close bond" with timothy.

then there is the issue of "horus" the egyptian god and is this where the story of jesus comes from.

i have searched the internet for information on horus and have not had much luck finding anything authorative either way.. my question is do you or don't you believe in the bible and why or why not?

my parents were to attend the dc in tulsa, when they arrived, there was no parking and no seats available.

is this because there are more people in the area or fewer locations and times?.

Michael Jackson---What Was Your Opinion Of Him?

by minimus in

jw
friends

a year ago, mj suddenly died.

for years, multitudes of people said michael jackson was a "sicko" a "wacko", a "child molester" and an "addict".. once he died, the man was glorified by people, the media and his family.. what did you think about michael?.....personally, i thought he was an eccentric ultra-gifted artist who was childlike and brilliant.

i was never convinced that he was a child molester but i will say i thought his behavior was "weird" with kids (and adults)..
