  ok.... looking for some logical explainations.... my daughter, ali, who i've been posting about on the forum...who has developed congestive heart failure.... has had some spooky experiences lately in her house.

  here are a few of the things that happened:.

  about a month ago, ali and her son david, heard noises from the attic above ali's bedroom...that sounded like something was being dragged across the attic floor.

  IF by some chance you do find that it is something "paranormal" I have one suggestion for you:

  Here's another one, stop chewing on magic mushrooms.

  Reasons why I can't talk to you anymore

  1. you don't use the same mispronunciation of god's name that i do.

  2. you "went out of god's love" after reading keep yourselves in god's love.

  3. i marked on your forehead an invisible message to myself telling me to shun you, even though it's not official.

  JWs are led to believe that they married in a three corded bond with Jehovah. When one mate turns against the WTS it in essence tells the other mate that the cord has been broken.

  What are they led to believe when it was they who decided to get baptised against the wishes of the other spouse five years after they were married?

  Most JW friendships really are conditional friendships.

  I'm beginning to think from reading posts of others in here that you could substitute the word "marriages" for "friendships", undercover, and your observation would still be valid.

  great post, sab.

  In other words, most of the people who dismiss that sort of thing out of hand are working on exactly the same quality of evidence that Jehovah's Witnesses who believe that such things MUST BE TRUE are - blind faith. In this case, blind faith that anything not immediately obvious has to be false.

  Falacious statement. However, if you are really convinced that this stuff is real, you should go back to that voodoo ceremony schtick and take someone from Randi with you. You would walk away $1 million richer. Blind faith, indeed.

  Advice for a non-witness dealing with a fiance's witness family

  by JAG913 in

  my name is jaime and i'm here because my fiance recommended this site.

  i am not, nor will i ever be, a jehovah's witness.

  i strongly believe it is a cult, but i also am respectful of the choice people make to associate themselves within the witness "world.

  There is an option implicit in bohm's advice (which is a good starting point) and that is to attempt to open your MIL's eyes to the fallacy of the Watchtower. It is most probably a longshot, but it's another avenue of approach worth considering, and maybe in the end the two of you can agree to respect one another's path in life and agree to live and let live. The body of evidence that the WTS is not what it represents itself to be is formidable.The difficulty is getting the devoted Witness to open her eyes and mind sufficiently to see the truth about The Truth. Dedicate a good bit of time to researching the jwfacts.com website and use this board to get answers to the specific questions that arise as your knowledge of the WTS improves. This is also a good place to query approaches you should and should not take to improve the chances you will actually be able to start and sustain a civil conversation with your MIL. If this is what you decide to do you will need to take your time and be patient.

  How can I support your search for the truth about The Truth?

  if you are an active but curious jehovah's witness, this question is to you.

  comments from others welcome.. i have an image of you in my mind.

  i see you secluded in your room with the door closed, speakers off or on low so you can hear the footsteps of anyone approaching, and you are quietly venturing into forbidden places.

  So a man walks into a Kingdom Hall for the first time...

  ...he's wearing sloppy casual clothing, comes in after the song and prayer.

  he sits down in the backrow and puts his feat up on the row ahead of him.

  he looks very relaxed and starts to intently listen to the public talk.. people start looking back at him, wondering how he could be so brazen.

  I had to scroll back up to the top to make sure this was a Jokes & Humor thread. Maybe we need a Jokes & Humor & Irony thread.

  What is happening to JWN ?...So many topics not relating to Jehovah's Witnesses!

  by koolaid-man in

  note the home page..wow how it has changed.. jehovah's witness discussion forumthe place to discuss anything relating to jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower bible and tract society... or just make new friends!.

  many of the posts have nothing to do with with jehovah's witnesses and new ones coming on this board would be turned off by the content of many of these off color posts.

  foul inappropriate language which is not proper or suitable for exiting witnesses to visibly inspect.

  koolaid-man, you seem like a Roberts Rules of Order kind of guy. Am I right? Communities change, that's just the way it is. Stick around and it will be different again. Real world. So, relax, enjoy the dynamic, and you won't get crapped on so much.
