by smiddy3 in

some jokes i`ve heard and 1 or 2 i`ve made up .. the shortest man in the bible ?

knee high mia.

one with a facial affliction.?

Vanderhoven7

The smallest man in the Bible was not Kneehigh-Amiah; it was the Philippian jailor because he slept on his watch.

How do we know that Adam and Eve played baseball. Because the Bible says they were there in the big inning.

he's a " scientist " jw who disses evolution and is really full of venom .

i just wondered if anyone actually knows him , he's american and a real charmer .

Hi Jhine,

Yes I have bumped into James a few times. He definitely has a high opinion of himself.

What is your handle on Quora? Have you seen any of the threads I have initiated involving JW beliefs and practices?

look...i've had my beef with lloyd aka cedars and some of the stuff he says or does but equally i respect what he is trying to do and what he has achieved in terms of waking people up.. he intimated he had mental health issues years ago but his video today is brutal...i see pain in his eyes and he is suffering.

his family come first and the man needs to heal.. yes he has issues that many on here see but its not the man that is important but his work.. but the man needs time to heal mentally and i wish he does so.

he deserves that despite the feelings and things that have happened in the past with the exjw community.. he has done so much for the exjw community in general that i hope all give him a little clack and he returns.. if any of us did what he did we may be in the same boat but none of us do...see past the man and see his work but equally the man is suffering and it is pretty sad...i hope he gets better soon.

OK "Rotten Friend of Mine" is a silly country song I wrote. But I think most will remember the others.

Well we (my wife and I) welcomed in the new year with our snores. It's our annual tradition.

I know Jehovah’s Witnesses try to discredit him for his work on mental illness among Witnesses.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses shun non-believers and those who leave the faith?

by Vanderhoven7 in

graeme hammond writes:.

in his 2002 book that examined the behaviour and practices of jehovah’s witnesses, english sociologist andrew holden devoted an entire chapter to the trauma and friction experienced by those who choose to leave the jehovah’s witness religion.

“those who do eventually break free,” he concluded, “are seldom allowed a dignified exit.”.

Vanderhoven7

Sounds reasonable. If one disassociates, in all probability they have discovered a fault with the religion that the org does not want shared. In a sense, to leave is tantamount to apostasy.

How are morals derived from Universal Consciousness or mind religion?

I think those who adhere to some forms of Eastern religious thought might be more prone to receiving his message.
