the cycle continues.... two weeks ago a loving and fragile sister passed away due to her age and chronic health, she only had one son and 2 grandsons.

(she was the only jw in her family)when my wife gave me the sad news we immediately went over to the hospital to give some words of comfort to the grieving family.. .

what happened next was another cruel example of works for salvation vs. good deeds from love.

My wife just told me to move out...

because of "religious" differences, she now wants me to move out and "separate"...i said what biblical grounds does she have for her request?.

she couldnt respond...she said she'd rather be beaten up by me than have an "apostate" in the house.... this org definitely encourages conditional love.... i don't know what to do...by the way, we dont have children.

you don't have any children ... sorry... it may hurt, but run as fast as you can... really!

Has leaving the truth( i hate that word) caused you to do things now that you would not have normally done ?

although we all know that there are many disadvantages of being brought up ( vomit sound) in the truth.

but would you say that leaving has maybe caused you to do some things that you would not have normally have done in life ?

for me personally now i have lots of free time ( mine all mine, evil laugh) i have almost finished my first novel.

Yeah... I do charity for example... I am kind to all kinds of people ... I express my love for all human beings ... I talk to my neighbors and strangers ...I am genuinely interested in people.

Who is the faithful and discreet slave? Is a RHETORICAL question

by villagegirl in

what brought me out of the wt , was one day it dawned on me, mathew 25:35,36 ..i was hungry and you gave me food;i was thirsty and you gave me drink;i was a stranger and you took me in, i was naked and you clothes me,i was sick and you visited me, i was in prison and you came to me.

i was being told this was some "symbolic action" we were supposed to take towards the wt version of the faithful and discreet slave.

and something inside me just said, "no it isn't" its real.

"a brother once told me that it is better to be wrong with the organization, than to be right and be on your own without the organization.".

by Roberta804 in

i have heard it all now, or at least up to now, the borg never ceases to surprise me.

so when jesus was talking to his deciple from the cross (opps stake), "this is your mother" or something like that, was he talking about the borg?

Hot of the Press!!! YEARBOOK 2013 :Letter from the Governing Body

by raymond frantz in

yearbook 2013 :letter from the governing body.

dear brothers and sisters :our heavenly father,jehovah, is the personification of love.hence the bible states :"god is love".

(1 john 4:8) even though jehovah is almighty ,his word never says ,"god is power" or , "god is might".he bases his rule primarily on love.how this attracts us to him!.

Okay, I went back and read all the posts so far, all of you expressed my thoughts ...really!
