  Hello everyone!

  ive been lurking for a while and finally got around to registering.

  about me: i was essentially born in & indoctrinated from youth.

  i was always a borderline "bad association" type because i always did the minimum and always disagreed with much of what was taught; even when i was a child.. luckily for me my father was never a jw so i never had to endure the male head pressure.

  a single sister in her 40s and her two single daughters were visiting my mom.

  i would say her daughters are in their early 20s.

  my mom got sleepy and we put her to bed but the three sisters stayed to finish their drinks..

  The Borg never talks about the person being kind/honest/loving etc it's all about the show of things that they do in the cong. It's so sad. Those girls are right of corse it's the same here, the men if that's what you can call them, all want the young girls, on the other hand most of the beauties only want the men if they have position & money. So shallow It's just another controlling idea that the Borg comes up with. have you noticed at the assemblies how they put marriages down that aren't exactly how they believe they should be. Personally I think they have absolutely no respect for the marriage arrangement at all.

  i'm just wondering, i read on another thread that as a unwritten rule ivf is a no no.

  i've never heard this, so it got me thinking about other things like getting sterilised i've heard differing views on this.

  some say it's fine others say the society say's no.. what about circumcision, in the u.k. & oz it's not so big (excuse the pun) but i watched a doco that said it was a big deal in america & most men have it done.

  the problem with you, apostates, is that your doubts were not genuine

  by never a jw in

  1. watchtower

  in page 10 of the correspondence guidelines, in the section of apostasy" i found the following:.

  one who has sincere doubts orquestions should be kindly aided inthe spirit of galatians.... i am forced to conclude that many of you didn't get any aid because your doubts were fake.

  so according to the wt manual, your main sin may have not been doubting, but faking having doubts.

  Depression means different things to different people & so the treatments that work for one may not work for the other. One mans poison is another mans medicine so as to speak. Most depression can result from inner anger that has not found a safe release & is therefore internalized. I have watched a documentary that discussed the TDCS treatment & found it most interesting. Strangely enough if the brain is put through constant high stress levels without let up for a long enough period of time it will infact induce a seizure on it's own as a coping mechanism, so I can see how this could be effective as it forces the brain to rest from thinking. As far as magnets go once again there are several studies which have show that magnetism can play an important role to our over all well being & that Geo-pathic stress can be the cause of a number of health problems from depression to cancer. The book of Magnet Healing, by Roger Coghill is an excellent read if your interested in this subject, it also gives sound advise on how we can protect ourselves in our homes from the artificial electric fields that we live with everyday.

  Hello Mr ex- Mormon man, I'm Sabin. Growing up as a jw is different for each child, prob's the same as the Mormon's, some are hard core parents, poor kid's, whereas others are really soft & don't follow the rule books. At the end of the day if you got loving understanding parents that in-courage you to be yourself & love you no matter your believes then what ever religion your in your going be better off than a kid who is being out rightly abused. It's nice to have some-one on the forum from a different religious cult I do hope you will stay.

  Money woes show it ain't the truth

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovahs people do not beg for money.

  [...] we have never considered it proper to solicit money for the lords cause, after the common custom .

  it is our judgment that money raised by the various begging devices in the name of our lord is offensive, unacceptable to him, and does not bring his blessing either upon the givers or the work accomplished.

  In the u.k you have to pay a licence every year for the privilege of having a television in your home. I remember one time you had to do the same if you owned a dog (Dog licence). I think the WTBTS should bring out a CART LICENCE, shall we say $50 per cart every year. Yes you have to pay for the privilege of sitting on your arse for a few hours a week. Make the pioneers pay for it as their the ones using it the most.

  What do you think, should I send my idea to them?

  Jehovahs Witnesses and the Name , HOW Important. ?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah`s witnesses place great emphasis on the importance of god`s name as jehovah .so much so that they are often accused by christendom`s religions as substituting jehovah for christ.. the old testament ( hebrew scriptures identify god as the tetragrammaton four hebrew consanants yhwh and not jhvh.

  as mistakenly believed by a 13th century spanish monk .. modern scholars including the j.w.`s agree that the more accurate pronunciation of gods name would be more nearer to yahweh than the name jehovah .. so why do j.w.`s insist on the name ?

  jehovah ?

  what I find most ironic is that they jump up & down declaring how important God's name is to them & how it must be put on high BLAH BLAH BLAH! & yet they themselves have reduced it to a mere letter J.....w.org.

  How would you like it if you were referred to by a single letter.

  From Sabin. OH sorry, I mean SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
