I guess I am no more a girlfriend in dilemma

by DilemmaGF in

i think my boyfriend just dumped for jw.

he is an inactive jw, he was the the one who started tp pursue the relationship and now he kind of shunning me.

i don't why, maybe because he sensed that i am trying to tell him a lot about the true jesus and because he felt like he can't convert me, but that's okay, i understand.

Help! My brother wants to hate me.

by strymeckirules in

tonight i tried to contact my blood brother.

i am 32 he is 30.. he was baptised at 10 and df'd at 12, 22 and now he would have been again but he walked away.. i made no progress with our reunite.

he's hating on me for leaving the family.

okay so it has been a month since this issue, and there is some news.

my grandmother died on the 29 of December, and so all the family went to visit her in the hospital leading up to her heart failure.

my brother went to visit her and she made him promise to mend fence with me. so he promised and i waited to see what would happen.

well, he sent me a text asking if we could start repairing our relationship by first repairing his van.

i replied yes i can help you.

so i went there today and saw him for the first time in a while and it was all good.

i fixed his van problem. easy fix.(power and ground wires to starter were old and full of oxidization. cleaned the terminals and replaced the battery posts and it fired right up. took $5 and 20 minutes. it was broken down for 2 months)

so we talked and caught up a bit afterwards over a drink.

turns out he planning on attending the funeral which is in a catholic church. my parents have already stated thier position on not going.

so he's thinking for himself.....

he didn't want to bridge any real issues we had, i told him whenever he is ready i am here to talk.

so it was a good visit and i believe he's planning to continue talking to me as he needs a full tune up on the van.

so this revisit to this post is to say never give up hope. someday your loved ones vehicle may break down, giving you opertunity to mend fences.

thanks baba.

Schizophrenic Canada bus beheading man found not guilty

(AFP) – Mar 5, 2009

OTTAWA (AFP) — A Chinese immigrant who beheaded and hacked to pieces a Canadian bus passenger in front of horrified travelers was found not guilty of murder Thursday after being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

Vince Weiguang Li, 40, had been charged with murdering 22-year-old Tim McLean on a Canadian Greyhound bus on July 30, 2008.

Li had repeatedly stabbed McLean, who had been asleep on the seat next to him, sawn off his head, removed his internal organs, pocketed his nose, tongue and an ear, and taunted police and bystanders with the severed head.

Police said in court documents Li "appeared to smell, and then eat parts of Tim McLean's flesh" and "lick blood from his hands" as they surrounded the bus on a desolate highway 90 kilometers (55 miles) west of Winnipeg, in western Canada, soon after the attack.

Authorities found body parts littered throughout the bus, some in white plastic bags. McLean's eyes and a third of his heart were also missing, and it is presumed Li ate them, said a pathologist in court files, though Li denies this.

The other 35 passengers and the driver were jolted by "blood-curdling screams" and fled, said witnesses, bracing the door after their escape to trap Li inside the bus. He was subdued by police after a three-hour standoff.

Justice John Scurfield of the Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench described the killing as "grotesque" and "appalling," but ruled Li was not criminally responsible for the murder because of his mental disorder.

During a three-day trial, psychiatrists testified Li suffers from schizophrenia and did not know what he was doing when he killed McLean.

The court heard Li had auditory hallucinations on the day of the attack, that he heard God's voice telling him to board the bus from Edmonton to Winnipeg, and kill McLean.

Li dismembered McLean's body, psychiatrists testified, because he feared McLean could otherwise resurrect from the dead and seek revenge.

His mental health is to be evaluated within 90 days, the judge ordered. Thereafter, he may be released or confined to a secure psychiatric hospital for treatment.

Outside the courtroom, McLean's mother Carol Dedelley expressed her disappointment at the verdict and her fears for public safety.

"This isn't the right result," Dedelley told reporters. "Knowing that that killer might get out sometime soon is very hard."

"A crime was still committed here, a murder still occurred, and (this) ruling seems to negate that fact."

"A major illness took my son's life, and he was never sick," she said.

"Mr. Li should be held accountable for it," she said. "Whether he was in his right frame of mind or not, he still did the act. There was nobody else on that bus holding a knife slicing up my child."

McLean, according to his family, was on his way home to Winnipeg from a job as a carnival worker in western Canada, when he was attacked.

He "struggled and tried to escape" his attacker, but "eventually either fell or was thrown to the floor of the bus," said court files.

Investigators said friends described the former computer programmer who had immigrated to Canada in 2001 as having had mental problems since 2004, but said they never knew him to be violent.

Li was admitted to a mental hospital in 2005, where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, according to court testimony.

Doctors identified his auditory hallucinations and offered him medication, but he declined treatment at the time.

"Unfortunately, he appears to have left the treatment facility without permission," the judge said.

how about the story in canada about the guy who beheaded another guy on a bus ride a few years ago.

he claimed he was harrassed by spirits that made him do this.

the court decided he was reasonably insane at the time due to the evil spirits controlling him.

this happend in our modern world.

infrared light

ultra violet light

magnetic fields

microwaves

all radio waves

sonar

sound waves

etc.

we can't see these with our human eyes. yet we all accept them. because science told us it was true. but science only told us this within the last 200 years. these things ALWAYS existed. we just couldn't see it until science told us it was there.

now scientists are finding life forms that exist only in the infrared spectrum. we didn't know they were there until camera's started taking pictures of them. so soon science will tell us there are creatures in other wavelengths or whatever they explain it.

the point is, just because YOU can't see it, doesn't mean it's not still out there. and until YOU can prove it doesn't exist, YOU look foolish for saying it doesn't.

and since nobody can prove it either way, we should all shut up.

ancient civilizations seemed to have the same reoccuring problem with the spirit realm that we do today in modern society.

SERIOUSLY.

ANYONE WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN SPIRITS, BUY THE CD'S AND TRY IT OUT.

UNLESS YOU ARE SCARED.... WHICH I THINK YOU ARE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE SPIRITS MIGHT BE OUT THERE, SO YOU JOKE AND RUN YOUR MOUTHS, BUT NOBODY WILL PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS AND PURCHASE THE CD'S AND GET THE SPIRITS TO COME PLAY WITH YOU.

has anyone else ever used a digital camera to see the light coming out of the bulb on your t.v. remote control?

at the top of a typical remote control there is a little LED light. when you push buttons, the light activates.

BUT YOU CAN"T SEE IT BECAUSE IT IS IN "INFRA-RED" AND OUR HUMAN EYES CANNOT SEE THAT SPECTRUM.

BUT YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA CAN SEE IT AND LET YOU SEE IT THROUGH THE SCREEN.

my point is, humans are not the peak of technology. we cannot see infrared spectrum, we can't hear what dogs can hear, or smell.

so why do humans believe all we can see is all there is?

because humans are SCARED of the unknown.

thanks folks. i'll be here all week.

Am only now discovering/reading the Apocrypha

by Muddy Waters in

i was never a born-in jw, got baptized when i was 20 after being raised and belonging to a denomination of a protestant church.

so i never even knew that there was a "catholic" bible or extra bible books (the authenticity of their belonging in the canon or not is a debatable issue, and one i certainly have no answers about it!).

i knew through my study with jws that there were some "extra" books written, but since i believed everything the wt said hook, line, and sinker, i just went along with their explanation that they were not part of the bible canon.

strymeckirules

sacred-texts.org

all the apocrapha you could dream of.

first book of adam and eve

second book of adam and eve

the book of enoch

all these books were found with the dead sea scrolls, but not allowed into the "officail cannon" because they were too powerful for the common man.

basiclly, there is information in these books that they don't want you to know.

read on man.

strymeckirules

would you suggest not purchasing the Theta Meditation sleep cd's to others?

i was just looking into them...

is this a normal experiance for people who have listened to the cd's or are you unique?

describe your "special abilities" if you don't mind. what did the cd's "give" you, besides critters?

did you learn anything interesting you could pass on to us so we don't have to purchase the cd's?

please enlighten us.

JW FAMOUS CLICHE SAYINGS

by strymeckirules in

what saying made it all around the country?.

the ones that were passed around, word of mouth.. for example.

"donations basis proves jehovah is behind the work!".

strymeckirules

"if arrmageddon comes and you are in a church, you won't be saved."

this one came up as my grandmother's heart is failing right now and my parents are posturing.

they probably won't be at the catholic church funeral.
