Proverbs 3: 5-6

2. bible
.

trust in jehovah with all your heart, and do not lean upon your own understanding, in all your ways take notice of him & he will make your paths straight... prov 3:5/6.

this scripture is the scripture that made me blindly accept everything .... because it specified that i not lean upon my own understanding i did exactly that.. is there any particular scripture that you took to heart that kept you blind?.

Satanic or Simple trickery

1. jw
2. friends
i remember whilst being on holiday my jw inlaw, him looking at me with utter disgust that simply because he couldnt see images such as these, he felt that they were demonic & therefore i should not be having anything to do with them.

he said in no uncertain terms that i was to quit touching the unclean thing.. i was allowing satan into my mind !!!

lol.

Childbirth

2. beliefs
im not a prude, but i just dont like it when the wbts disgusses the facts of life such as childbirth within their articles - (artists impression of a pregnant woman included) it means that all children regardless of age get to understand things they ought not know as yet... am i on my own with this...

awake january 2011 page 16... (ive not worked out how to make this a clickable link, so if it dont work put this into your browser to go to pdf article).

hi guys n girls.... i slipped under the jw radar just one year ago.

i wasn't happy going to meetings as i always felt worthless and everything i did wasnt good enough.

well having managed to miss a few meetings, i thought nothing of sneaking a look at apostate websites.
