  2. beliefs

  i've been reading more and studying about the bible .

  it was brought to my notice that out of the four different versions of jesus resurrection they do not back each other up.

  instead they contradict each other a lot.

  pope francis has denounced the "brutal persecution" of religious and ethnic minorities, in his traditional christmas day address.. in his second "urbi et orbi" - to the city and the world - christmas message, the pontiff highlighted the plight of victims of conflict in syria and iraq.. "too many people are being held hostage or massacred" in nigeria, he added.

  pope francis also urged dialogue between israelis and palestinians and condemned taliban attacks in pakistan.. tens of thousands of people turned out on st peter's square to hear the argentine pope deliver his annual message.. he said christians in iraq and syria had endured conflict for too long, and "together with those belonging to other ethnic and religious groups, are suffering a brutal persecution".. "may christmas bring them hope, as indeed also to the many displaced persons, exiles and refugees, children, adults and elderly, from this region and from the whole world," the pope said.. .

  ******and, what did the governing body talk about when they addressed the world of jehovah's witnesses earlier this month?

  YOU 'THINK' YOU ARE FREE when you leave the Org. . . but it can be an ILLUSION

  by Terry in

  did you know there is nothing more insane than being partly indoctrinated and partly free?.

  the level of cognitive dissonance is ridiculous!.

  i have told this story before, so i'll shorten it to cut to the chase.. in 1987, i was dating a professional psychotherapist with a view to marriage.

  Death and perspective

  by Separation of Powers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i realize today, at this moment in time, at this moment, this exact moment in my life the absolute futility of everything.

  i sit here, at this desk, in front of this screen, my head is spinning and my mind wanders through all those moments of interaction with someone who has just left this life.

  no, he wasn't a family member, he wasn't even a friend really, an acquaintance, a casual work related interaction.

  CONFESS or COVERUP

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the disconnect from the family of humanity......the snap of that fellow feeling......the cold indifferent shrug as each person dries up and hardens into a mere thing in a kingdom hall.....is a withering away of all that is noble, pure and innocent.. and when that icy moment sets in the rest of the world vanishes into an invisible nothing in the heart of that strutting and proud lump of human flesh called jehovah's witness.. it is the first of many deaths they will endure.... where does it begin and where does it end?.

  perhaps by defending huge lies?.

  if you are complicit in a crime against humanity you have two basic ethical choices:.

  Many Member Just Want to Believe

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you are/were an active jw, you are now here on jwn so, for whatever your reasons, you woke up to some degree- hopefully a great degree.

  so what i am saying may not apply to you.. i know that if i had not already left, i would have stormed out on the day they studied "overlapping generation.

  " i am quite confident i couldn't have stayed for such an obvious switcharoo just to make the end seem imminent and try to explain how wts was wrong, but not entirely wrong in the past.. but i had to wonder how that change (or others) didn't cause most jw's to walk out.
