The biggest thing that made a difference for me was to apologise to my teen if I'd got it wrong."____Tornapart

Even in her adult years, I have apologised to my daughter

Because I got it wrong . I got involved in a cult

i'm visiting my brother and his family in virginia for thanksgiving.

as i was looking out the kitchen window today, saturday, waiting for my sister-in-law to finish talking with my niece on the phone, i noticed an older couple in thick coats going to different houses in the cul-de-sac.

as i was watching the older couple and thinking about what i would do if they rang the door where i was and if they were jws, the door rang.. at the door were two older african-american women.

Thanks for the pic

This is a marketing ploy. The WTS want you to look at them

as the only ones who are givin' away somethin' for free

.

.

When they got you hooked. This cult will cost you EVERYTHING

.

.

Drug dealers use the same ploy, and still work the streets

Hello Tec,

When I first read the OP I thought the same thing

except, Unlike a parent the WTS don't provide for the physical needs of the sheep

.

.

The WTS take, take , take

Remind you that you have no validation, are speck of dirt and have no right to complain

or question thier authority

Hello DATA DOG

I know it can get rough bein' a parent

There were times I got so mad , I had to go in my room and shut the door

for both of our sake

.

.

Sometimes we have to walk away to calm down

if not, we'll say somethin' that we would surely regret

.

.

Confidence starts at home. As parents it's on us to instill such

let your child know that they are valid, more than a speck of dirt

and that they have a right to voice thier concerns so it will give you

the opportunity to address them

.

.

Take care DATA, we all have days that don't shine so bright

WT: World War I started in October 1914 (not July 1914)
by Calebs Airplane in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
according to the wt, these are the actual sequence of events that led to the start of world war i:.

1) the gentile times ended on october 1/2, 1914.

2) jesus took the throne immediately thereafter.. 3) one of jesus' first tasks as the newly enthroned king was to engage in a heavenly war against satan and his demons.. 4) having won the war against satan and his demons, jesus expelled satan and his demons from the heavenly realm giving them only terrestial access.. 5) since satan is a sore loser, he became extremely bitter and decided to wreak havoc upon all the earth.. 6) filled with anger, satan then provoked the nations of the earth into a 4 year bloody battle known today as world war i. so there you have it... wwi started sometime in october of 1914 (not july 1914 as history books would have you believe).

Thanks Champ

It don't look good when a religion have to change events in history ( WWI )

or the definition of a word ( Generation ) to fit around what they claim as the " Truth "

Is disagreeing with the GB rebelling against God?
by kneehighmiah in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the other day an elder mentioned that not following the gb direction is the same as rebelling against god.

this in harmony with the ominous tone set forth in the respect jehovah's authority video.

in this thread i'll point out several gaping holes in that argument as time allows.. 1. the gb/fds does not speak "mouth to mouth" with god as did moses.. jehovah condemned and punished mariam for speaking against moses.
