with all of the hype surrounding sparlock ... i didn't see anyone post anything about the sunday drama at the convention.. my husband and i decided that we were only going to attend the sunday of the convention.

we drove down, but got cold feet and we ended up going out for coffee and hitting up the local shopping mall, heading over to the convention for lunch to show our faces, then taking off home for the afternoon.

it was a good day ;).

Just hearing the speaker announcing the drama brings back memorys (and makes me tense)

WT Study for 6-17-12

by Bobcat in

i did not see a thread on the 6-17-12 wt study article, so i thought i'd put this here.. .

this is just a thought on unquoted references that sheds a little "light" on why they are not sourced.. in paragraph 4 of the lesson it says: 'as one reference work states, it is "the sum total of the interior man.

"' it is referring to what the bible means when it speaks of the figurative heart.

Does the bible say anything about the heart being figurative?

Interestingly I found this site when I searched for figurative heart.

This made me awfully sad

by corpusdei in

just came across this post, where a disfellowshipped blogger posted the letter from his witness mother in which she cuts off the relationship between them.

although i was the one to slam the door and cut off communication with my viper of a mother, my heart goes out to this guy - it's to their shame that the witnesses allow their religion to do this to family..

The scary part is they really think that they are doing the loving thing by shunning their kids.

this topic has been discussed before ... i just wanted to put my two cents in.. i will start off by saying that of course mental illness exists outside of the organization.

I remember the reason they used to give for this was because the religion appeals to those types of people. Basically saying they were the most sheep like people.

At the time this seemed like sound reasoning. How could any right hearted person possibly be happy in this system
