How many ex-jws poster here now believe in Hellfire, immortality of soul, trinity, etc;

by booker-t in

jw

i am just curious about this because although i agree with many of the posters here that the wt society is guilty of many horrible deeds, i still believe they are right when it comes to doctrinal things as i mention.

especially hellfire.

i just don't see how anybody that has studied the bible for many years like many of the ex-jws here can make an about face and go back to believing hellfire.

I believe in this....

"Well, I believe in the soul, the c%6k, the p*#$y, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."

now who know where this quote came from -- Happy HOT SUNDAY...i gotta go jump in da pool! IF you do PM me with your address and I may send you a fREE gift!

Was There Anything You Actually Enjoyed About Being A JW?

by MrFreeze in

i'm sure this question has been raised a lot but it is always good to look back.

the last 5 or 6 years of me being a jw, i did not have a very good go of it.

one thing i actually did enjoy was going to the international convention.

dreamgolfer

Yeah as a teenager the assemblies and conventions were the BEST for meeting Hot Chicks ....er sisters - I mean Smoking hot, the Canadian ones were the BEST! GaGa Beautiful - Oh boy those were the days the 70 and 80, yummy yum yum!

Talk about your Canuck PArties aye? What a time in the "Truth"

I get all a flutter just thinking about it today..I gotta go get a cold shower ;o)

So ... what happens when we die?

by sacolton in

jw
friends

what do you personally believe happens after we die?

i don't believe we really know everything about god or the afterlife.

i do believe that we do transform to something beyond our physical comprehension.

Planning an Escape: Truth Triumphs Over Lies!

by 00DAD in

often during wt/book studies and/or public talks i would be following along and note little discrepancies and inconsistencies.

perhaps it was a scripture that didn't really support the point being asserted in the paragraph or maybe it was an illustration that sounded good but wasn't completely parallel or maybe it was a line of reasoning that wasn't as conclusive or solid as the speaker/elder/co/wt publication made it out to be.

or maybe it was the excessive use of weasel words like, "evidently," "perhaps," "must have" and so on.

Prayers at mealtime!!?

by Frog in

jw
friends

who still find it strange years on to dive straight into your mail meal without 'giving thanks'?

i say main meal, because dad's prayers were always considerably lengthy before a main meal, and are an institution in every jw household.

even now after a few years i'm just about ready to tuck in when i find myself saying a simple thanks under my breath.

dreamgolfer

i always pray for a little "crumpet" at mealtimes ..yum yum yum

Have you lost your sense of "happy ever after"?

by londonlady in

jw
friends

i'm glad to be out but i've since had the sensation that the "happy ever after" ending i always thought would come will not come.

there will be no happy ending, just an oridary life.

thats quite a werid sensation to contemplate... what do you think?.
