  Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.

  by AuntConnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .

  i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.

  my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

  Something to Think About

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how will it seem years from now when all that we cherish and believe will become as dusty exhibits in a museum?

  we are constantly finding ourselves in different states of being, between breakfast and dinner.

  perhaps, even that final snack before we are carried off in a realm of terrifying heights or ages undreamed of.

  More shooting

  by Hortensia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's interesting that i don't see as much comment on the shooting of the volunteer firemen earlier today as we saw for the shooting at the school in connecticut.

  it's just as horrible an event.

  how terrible that these volunteers who got out of bed to fight a fire, dangerous enough, were used as targets by some nut with an assault weapon.

  Catholicism: Having Sex with Your Wife Can Be Adulterous

  by Most Noble in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  pope john paul ii urged husbands "not to commit adultery with their wives by desiring sex for its mere pleasure and the satisfaction of instinct" (modras: 124, of 1980).. .

  we weren't exactly expecting a sex positive response, but isn't it a tad over the top, and well, you know, wrong to say that sex with your wife could even possibly be adulterous?

  the argument is that having sex for pleasure, rather than procreation, is against church doctrine, but how on earth is that adulterous?

  Your earliest doubt?

  by Apognophos in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this might be an unfair question for those who have been out of the organization for decades, but i'm wondering if any of you remember your earliest doubt -- maybe something odd that occurred to you as a kid (if you were a jw then).

  please try to limit to two doubts at the most :-).

  i think my first "doubt" was simply realizing that at the time of the flood, every animal that wasn't in the ark died (well, besides the fish, supposedly).

  God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites - What does the bible REALLY teach?

  by irondork in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  that is why god gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature;and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.

  romans 1:26,27.
