  exactly one year ago three other families joined us at our vacation home for a week of relaxation and stimulating conversation.

  of the four men, three were elders and the other a ministerial servant.

  together these four had 116 years as appointed servants.

  #1 - original sin: supposedly all this stuff is going on because adam/eve "ate the fruit" (type of fruit still under question).

  because of this, god let billions & billions of people, "his children", suffer imperfection, pestilence, plague, wars,death, etc.

  & let his "true followers" throughout bible history be persecuted because of this "original sin".

  When Death Leaves You All Alone.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've just had a really interesting chat with my nearest and dearest.. .

  we were talking about the fact that when one of us dies the other will be left alone.

  we agreed that the surviving one should be able to talk about the deceased one without adopting a holy sepulchral voice and that both our spoken and remembered memories of each other will be full of fun and laughter.. we also agreed that the surviving mate would want to build a new life, take on fresh interests and travel the world as much as possible.

  does the majority of exjws continue studying the bible on their own or join a new christian group that's less rigid than the jws?

  or does the majority say to hell with christianity?.

  it feels great to be free.

  it feels great to go out with old girlfriends for beer and wings.

  Tales from the Couch

  by Seven in

  2. medical

  i asked my therapist if it is possible for a patient to be re-traumatized during the course of treatment.

  confronting memories over and over again.

  painting mental images even more graphic to replace the vague ones i once had-is this a good thing?
