Ooh ooh KateWild,
I'm with you on that one. The German language has a fantastic word to describe the feeling one gets when people get their comeuppance - Shadenfreude (hope it's spelt correctly, or my autocorrect is getting a freakin' kicking).

Overlapping Generation
by pandorasbox1914 inthe september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.
his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .
no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

Hi pandoradbox1914,
Thank you for your post. And any contributors for helping me finally understand what I didn't understand about the WTBT$'s explanation re the overlapping situation!!! Fisherman's and OUTLAW'S banter was cool.

My son's and I's first Valentines Day, Friendship day celebration since our awakening!!
by Khaleesi inso this weekend will be my first time celebrating friendship day since stop celebrating due to being a jw for years.
the most exciting part for me and makes me very happy is finally to have my son participate and be involved in normal activities at school with classmates.
no longer will i allow him to be ostracized at school due to the wt "cult's" ridiculous reasoning why some things are not okay to participate while others are okay.

A Complete lack of Empathy with a huge side order of Foulness !
by Thirteenth tribe inover the last few years i have experienced in general a lack of sincerity and empathy from jw's .. i won't lie 2 sisters i knew to be different and quite genuine ... all be it still sipping the 'cool aid' though.
but on the whole most brothers/sisters i've met couldn't really care less or just have no idea how to genuinely connect.
one sister asked me a year ago how things were with my husband (an un-believer) i replied " a bit strange right now" (in hindsight it was always made worse because i was in a cult!!

Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy
by cofty ini intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.
there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.
there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.

Cofty, I said I've learned a valuable lesson, and that means looking into subjects and becoming better informed. I want to also develope critical thinking abilities. I'm going to show respect and appreciation for your series of evolution facts. Starting with No1. Thank you

Good idea or bad idea?
by stephanie61092 infirst and foremost, thank you so much to so many of you who have reached out to me over the past few days since my post on sunday.
i'm not totally in the best mental state, however, i do have a very small amount of people that i can lean on for support.
i relayed my feelings to a friend (my only friend, really), who took the initiative to inform my family.

Looking back,"That was crazy, moment"
by MarkofCane ini got baptized later in life.
i was around 21, i had left and went out into the world should of listen to my gut back then, but instead i disowned myself and came back into the fold.
before i could get baptized, the elder who studied with me said i needed to get rid of everything that was contaminated by this world: music, books & clothing,everything.

M of C, yes yes to similar advice to me. I got rid of duvets, furniture, crockery and albums. Only I never did part with all my Bowie albums. They were my dirty little secret. I'm so pleased I didn't.
