(the johannine community, responsible for the gospel of john, the epistles of 1, 2, 3 john and revelation, was among the first to equate the serpent of genesis with satan, see rev.

The serpent was a revolutionary, revolting against a horrible tyrant.

Encounter at McDonalds

by jws in

jw
friends

so i was helping some friends move and it came time for a break, i took my kids to mcdonalds.

we're sitting there and there's a family across from us, man, wife, 2 kids under 4. in the next booth is this older guy, maybe late 60's.. i'm not really paying attention, but then this older guy says something to the family about everybody being "me-first" these days.

so that caught my ear.

Somebody that many years along, who has devoted his whole life to it. It is probably all he has. It's his social circle. It's his way of staying relevant in some way.

the washtowel and asleep magazines made the list.

an over-zealous dub just posted this link to my facebook wall.

This has nothing to do with how many are placed. It has to do with circulation. Of course they are going to be in the top 10 if every JW gets 5-10 of each. The real question is how many people actually read them.

Feeling not well: guilt

by Gorbatchov in

gorby is not feeling well at the moment.

wife and kids went to the kh last week.

gorby stayed at home watching live soccer game psv - milan.

One of the most crippling feelings in the world to feel is guilt.

One of the first things the JW religion teaches is to instill lots of guilt. This is something that haunts me. Constantly. I'll be sitting in my cubicle at work, doing something mind numbing and all the sudden it hits. A wave of guilt. I don't even know what I'm feeling guilty about. But that feeling looms. I must be doing something wrong.

What was YOUR wake-up call before you left the JW´s organization?

by Mr Fool in

what was your wake-up call(s) before you left the jw s organization?

I always had little doubts in my mind about certain things. One of the things that really opened my eyes was the scripture where it usess the pluralized "nails" to indicate Jesus had more than one nail in his hands. I asked a "knowledgable" sister about it and she had no clue. just said to look at the WT Library and see what it says. The WT pretty much says "It doesn't matter what Jesus was killed on, just that he died." Okay, so why do they make a big deal about the cross then? Then I started digging further and further into doubts I had and welp... here I am... an evil apostate atheist.
