  Just went over and read the actual comment.

  Maybe Bro Jay is a Bethelite?

  If they have plants here to watch what is being said - why not there? I would think especially there!

  I have an account there. I started it when I began to feel myself slipping spiritually and just couldnt stomach the local devious elders. I thought maybe if I broadened my viewpoint it would help me.

  I started a membership here too.

  Guess which one helped me?

  The folks over there didnt ring true to me. I think they are all striving to "chin up" to the perceived tone.

  Basically they are all trying to out spiritual one another. Im sure some there know that and are unsatisfied but dont know what to do.

  That would have described me at one point.

  Psychology: Sick of Elder Low tone slow paced talk

  by Aprostate Exam in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  now after 21 years in professional psychology/humanities, i love talking to brothers that adopt a slow pace in speech, and low tone of voice when they deal with the rank and cold un-associated ones.

  my mirroring their present state in personality seems to psych them out for a bit.

  i then tap into my fast injection of logical sense, that throws them off.

  Thats pretty funny!

  What always gets to me is when they say Jehovah all long and drawn out

  "Ja- HO- va"

  with that long drawn out HO

  so nausea inducing.

  Are those chairs even up to code?

  Isnt there a thought given to a little room in between?

  That looks SO uncomfortable - not to mention ugly.

  I've decided to make a difference that REALLY matters

  by Mrs. Eden in

  2. experiences

  hello friends!today is a sad day for me, as seven months have gone by since my mother passed away after a decades-long fight with breast cancer..

  because the witnessing/preaching/teaching work doesn't make any sense to me anymore; because it's not about any "truth"; and because it's basically useless, i've decided to quit doing it.

  instead, i've decided to do something that actually can make a real difference in other people's lives.

  First of all hugs to you sweetie on the loss of your mom. It is hard coming up to that first anniversary.

  But you have just done something that will have a tangible impact in honoring your mothers memory.

  Very inspiring.

  i just learned that my husband was in one of the dramas at this year's rc.

  i have no idea which one.

  the way that i found out is: while looking for a confirmation email for a plane trip we are making, i opened his account.

  Painted, I love your carefree approach to this!

  I would be freakin livid if something like that was kept from me...although, after reading the rest of the posts it doesnt sound like it was a drama of the type we are used to (where he would have come home as an Arab LOL) so I am guessing it is some kind of sound check rehearsal or such.

  Did/does he work in a dept.?

  Still lovin your laid back "tude" about it though!

  Jesus foretold corruption of scriptures (rather than apostasy of Christendom)

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws apply the fulfillment of what jesus fold in mathew 13:24-30 in what they call the great apostasy of christendom.

  here jesus was speaking in parable, hence application should be made in its essence.

  jesus sowed the seed (which means he preached the truth), later when it was compiled, selfish writers sowed weeds (interpolated their own ideas), and it became one book where on cannot distinguish what is good seed and weed.

  I love this thought Icon and it explains a lot of what is truly wrong in the modern day religion called "JWs".

  I have a question though, if one was going to use this line of reasoning the inevitable rebuttal is going to be "All scripture is inspired and beneficial...."

  So what are your thoughts in that regard?

  So a guy named Allen Smith calls the Librarian a Liberian and then proceeds to tell him he is ignorant?

  You cant make this stuff up!

  He doesnt care about reinstatment he cares about showing love
  

  In that case, he did fine then...

  If he cared about reinstatement he did not do ok.

  More power to him if he just wants to ruffle the elders feathers - he did!
