It helps children learn that adults will lie and encourages them to be better than their parents when they grow up. If kids think their parents are perfect, that may seem too far of a goal to reach.
But there is a complication. "If I became better than my parents after learning they would lie to me, will my kids also do the same?"
The world is not perfect, Lie to and beat your kids and they will be fine.
it was around 1996 or so when i starting my mean old apostate-opposer "career.
" while rooting around the internet looking for some other information, i ran across the very first article i wrote and put on the internet back then .
i didn't know it even still existed as i had lost from my computer a long time ago.. for nostalgia purposes, i decided to share it:.
Wait, there was new light back then too!?!?
in a couple of days of been on the site 10 years, am i supposed to make some profound post about something or other?.
maybe i should thank everyone like a speech at the oscars?
to be honest nobody really gives a damn how long i've been posting here anyway.. .
Thank you for your continued service
we shouldn't post them here because of legal reason, so whatever anyone does, please don't even think of sending an email with a link at [email protected].
that would be unethical and it shouldn't happen.
i hope i have been very clear in that i do not want the link, and certainly not at my personal email address of [email protected].
Lol
this was entertaining about how many don't want that book thing. I don't want it either yet my system has electrons that occupy two pdfs that may or may not have been used to house enough space for two copies. I'm glad I know nothing about that.
without specifics being mentioned as to what it is......(to avoid tipping off certain lurkers).. how many people know about the upcoming summer long campaign?
please use this thread to confirm receipt of your campaign invitation.
take care.
I've been out too long to do anything and don't need any assistance myself. But would this help others?
a lot of people here have read and highly recommend ccmc by steven hassan and coc by ray franz, myself included.
i don't know how i would have handled leaving the borg without that knowledge.. so thinking that got me to wondering, who here has not read them (or has read one but not the other), and how are you coping with exiting the borg?
did you get counseling?
I get confused with Coc being used for "Crisis of Conscience" or "Captives of a Concept"
I've not read either. All it took was WT publications over time to see their deceit.
Jehovah does not change but the organization does
Wrong thinking in the past (old light) was really misunderstandings by R&F, not WT errors
Overlapping generations
The faithful and discreet slave (Why is it not Jesus himself?) ... class (no class in the Bible)
taken from the watchtower media website today:.
maybe im reading this wrong!!!.

Even though they didn't have to pay, no doubt that this will be the big news at local congregations and there will be a little extra in all the contribution boxes from the R&F.
i would like to hear people's opinions on intolerant religious groups?
who wins?.
somehow, i have this notion that pentecostals would win 1st place, followed by baptists, followed by jw's.
I would put JWs before Baptists. They have their own terms for other religions within themselves such as Cristendom. Or how about Babalon the Great.
eve and her daughters whats wrong with this picture?.
today i loaded to my blog a new article that shows a set of illustrations from one publication by watchtower that lead to a question.
my article is titled eve and her daughters whats wrong with this picture?
Yes, hoo much hat wearing in paradise.
10. if i said you had a nice governing body would you hold it against me?.
9. let's overlap our generations if you know what i mean.. 8. what do you say we lose this great crowd?.
7. i want to be your faithful slave.. 6. tonight we're gonna party like it's 1974.. 7. your breasts are like towers.. 6. would you welcome a shepherding call?.
Richard (also known by his nickname dick) is home but hiding. Why don't you come with me to help me expand my little ministry.
