  i was out with my 4 dogs last night around 10:30 under a bright moon.

  it was frosty (-4 c).

  i heard some noise in the field behind my house (my backyard is a national forest).

  Lovely use of the word kerfuffle Lisa Rose!

  You all are creating some beautiful images of the wildlife in your areas.

  Wild turkeys here for me.

  if this article is correct, (american) thanksgiving's origins have several things j-dubs love.

  the xian god.

  genocide of nonbelievers that included men, women and children alike.

  Perhaps because they didnt think of it first?

  Cant control people with it?

  Cant market it?

  Any of the above?

  Splane is evidently plagiarizing a chart I made a couple of years ago and posted here on JWN after the release of the Watchtower, January 15, 2014:

  
  
  

  Oh I think this is exactly what they used....

  some erstwhile GB "helper" surfing this site and copying your work and presenting it....the GB heaving sighs of relief because your chart was a "godsend" (dare I say??? lol)

  So Oubliette, would you get to work on something to explain why/how they have used/lost all the money?

  Im sure they would be ever so appreciative.

  If I cared enough, it would be interesting to see if the word "generation" was many times used with the qualifier "wicked".

  That sounds like it would be more of a Matthew - John concept using the words of Jesus .

  Eccl. 1:4 mentions a generation used in the regular context and I am thinking many other versus do too.

  Dont Give Them More Power Than They Deserve

  by Tech49 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a new montra that was recently adopted by the wife and i is this:.

  dont give them more power than they deserve.. here's why i say that, and i point this to those of you still in the congregation, still trying to decide what you want to do.. recently, our family had a little family reunion gathering of sorts, and we were in the company of some extended family that were either df or da, to varying degrees.

  we made it very clear, to any and all in attendance, that we wanted to be respectful and kind, despite any previous perceptions about our "status".... and that our feelings on a lot of things had "softened", and "changed" over the last 2 years.. i am being purposefully slightly vague, but i think you get the point.

  Im less judgmental.

  When I do something I do it for the reasons I deem right, rather than because someone else wrote it down somewhere.

  More moral? Less moral?

  I would say Im more accurately moral in what the true sense of the word means. .

  The JW sense of what "moral" means is meaningless to me now.

  Leah Remini's book, "Troublemaker"

  by DisArmed in

  just finished leah remini's book, "troublemaker.

  " very good book that easily resonates, i'm sure, with anyone who has exited a cult.

  her life in scientology and eventual exit was a nightmare.

  I havent read the book but did see part of an interview with her. I like that she circumvented the bad things they were going to say about her by saying them about herself first.

  That was smart and funny.

  does anyone know if jwtalk is a real jehovah witness forum?.

  are the owner bob & an admin jerry in good standing in their congregations?

  or just apostates posing as jw's?.

  Bob used to have an Instagram account and he showed pics of himself with friends after service and going to assemblies and so on. I didnt realize he was the owner though..I thought he was one of the Mods.

  The impression I got was that he was one of that "new breed" that are very social about their JWism but still smoozy enough that they never set off the powers that be.

  Are we participants in this forum because of bouts of "loneliness"?

  by Wonderment in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i wonder how many of us here hold on to this meeting place out of "loneliness.

  could it be that we harbor feelings of "abandonment" and "loneliness" from being left cold and dry by the wt people and our families?

  perhaps we do have a need to reach out to people with similar experiences.

  I dont feel lonely but I did feel for awhile like my sanity and I were parting ways!

  I mean, this wonderful religion I spent my whole life in couldnt be wrong could it?

  Could it???

  Well turns out - yes it could!

  Finding everyone here and realizing that I was NOT the problem, gave me my steady world view back.

  You guys are my friends/therapists/sounding boards/partners in exile.

  Sanity has taken off its coat and hat and decided to stick around....
