Freewill - a paradox

by gravedancer in

jw
friends

i have had a couple of discussions about freewill lately but it seems as if i am talking to a brick wall.

here is my basic reasoning, perhaps you can point out what i am missing.. lets outline the 2 common assumptions normally associated with the debate concerning adam, god and freewill:.

2. god gave adam freewill to obey him or not to.

ladonna

Grave,

Excellent post subject!

I am of the mind where the theory of Adam/God?eve...ect, is all a case of mythology.
In presuming the bible to be a literal occurence I have to concede that Adam did not have free will.
I have always questioned this point in the bible myself, and have bashed my head against a wall trying to come up with any satisfying answers.

The theory that God then went on to have an almighty battle with Satan leads me to question Gods "Love".
What type of parent punishes all his children for the wrongs of only one???? Would it be loving of us as parents to do this???

While on the subject of Adam and Eve, whom did Cain marry??

10 years since My Exit - The Introduction

by Amazing in

my exit introduction .

over the next few weeks or months, i will post an accounting of my exit process in a series of 15 short stories.

it will be part of my permanent notes that may someday be incorporated in a book likely a private book for my children and grandchildren.

ladonna

Amazing,

I am with the majority. Please post your experiences, but don't underrate yourself, your story may be worthy of publication. What those like "Eric" fail to understand is that we others learn from such experiences.

Your synopsis appears enticing to any XJW. Please post it for those of us that need and want to read experiences of others that have come so far.
Warm Regards,
Ana

Eric,

JW men - wordly women

by larc in

jw
friends

folks,.

over the past several months, i have read some heart breaking stories from women who come here, who have been involved with jw men.

now, this leads me to ask.

ladonna

Larc,

I am only guessing at their motives for this type of behavior, but I feel it is the mother-whore complex; forbidden fruit always looks tasty.

I have been at my JW parents home...(prior to complete shunning), and when JW brothers visited, the "lusty looks" in their eyes was so visible it was almost tangible. I felt quite repulsed. I would call it a visual rape.

I was seen as the "wordly woman". Their mindset it so idiotic. I have only experience with my former husband and one other, and yet they presume that women of the world have vast sexual experience, and are therefore more forbidden; more delectible.

Ana

Side note - you should get a photograph in casual cloths. You look too much like a Witness, with the suit and tie.

Good one Larc ...sorry Cello, I have to agree

potatoes

by larc in

jw
friends

what is your favorite form of potato?

is it baked, fryed, mashed, boiled, served in soup?.

come on guys and gals, i know we are living on the edge, with questions like this, but what the hey, go for it!.

ladonna

Ohhhh...here I go again; that hungry feeling!!!!

I love my potato baked, then cut in half and mashed in the centre with garlic, butter, sour cream and a little paprika....YUMM

Second choice would be mashed up with milk, a touch of cream, fresh ground pepper, butter and a good amount of parmisan cheese.
Shallots added to this are also a favorite variation....

Simon....Larc is getting me fat....please help me
