Who Do You Want to Be Like?

by Farkel in

: as jehovahs witnesses, we testify that:.

(1) we abhor the reproach that babylon the great, and christendom in particular, has cast upon the name of the one true and living god, jehovah.

.. (2) we abhor christendoms adherence to babylonish teachings, notably those of a triune god, the human souls immortality, eternal torment in hell, a fiery purgatory, and worship of images such as the madonna and the cross.

"Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor...Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face; kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting." - Mother Teresa

Words to live by Thanks Farkel, for preparing this, and sharing with us. Merry Christmas!

mommy

ROFLOL! I love you guys
Back on topic, I am with #2. I listen to all sorts of music, sometimes different genres back to back I think it can take you someplace for a bit, and it is always fun to go there.

Why is there evil

by d0rkyd00d in

don't know if this has been touched on before, but where did evil originate?

yes, some may answer satan.

but think about this: god created all things, and god is perfect.

mommy

What is meant by everything? Ummm...everything.

Did He predestine some living things to be evil? Since I personally do not believe in god, I cannot give an opinion on this question.

Where does it say God created evil? I am sure you know it isn't written. Rather it says He hates evil. Now we go back to my original thought, there is no clear definition of the the word evil. I think that some of the things the god of the bible did were pretty evil. Killing innocent people because they had inhabited a land before his chosen ones did, is but one example, I am sure I can find plenty more for you.

So, if God created evil, then God is evil and... Well, I guess that is my point

God hates Himself over something He in fact is and created? Kinda scary when you think about it huh?

I believe this train of logic is flawed. Well, everyone has a right to their own opinion.

Have a good day. Oh and Merry Christmas

HOW DO YOU MEND A BROKEN CHILD'S HEART?

by termite 35 in

please, anyone broken their children's heart over the wtbts?

i've been away from meetings for quite a wwhile now and have finally had to face the fact that i am responsible for my childrens 'lost' looks lately.

i've tried to sow a few little gentle doubts to ease them into the thought that were not going to meetings as 'the org may have got some things muddled up'.but its so strange to find yourself in this position; the worst is seeing their little faces as you struggle to find the right words that won't upset them.

mommy

Hey termite
Enjoy your vacation! May I suggest for you to go to Randy's site, his link to freeminds is at the bottom of the page. There are many articles dealing with the family, and talking to your children about leaving the cult.

My neices are 4 and 5 and are being brainwashed by their grandma, their parents does not attend meetings, and I have heard them telling them that jehovah will kill them since they are bad. It honestly turned my stomach to hear such little children worried about the death of their own parents. I am so glad I left before mine were born, I feel for any of you who had to deal with deprogramming.

Please, do not feel guilty about that time of your life though. You thought you were doing what was right. I think it is important for adults to admit mistakes to their children as well. To often parents will not simply say, "I am sorry, I was wrong." Perhaps that is the biggest thing your children need now.

by LB in

i wasn't sure what to expect, after all these pagans are capable of anything, right?

How many things could I get DF'd for tonight?

my wife and i just got home from a christmas party.

before the party i took a shower and washed my long hair and trimmed my beard a bit.

we then went to the christmas party that was being held by my friend ken and his partner steve.

mommy

ROFLOL@Ken! haha

Rhett
Who cares, did you have fun? I think the greatest sin in religion is that too many push down their own conscience to follow another person's idea of how he should behave. Going through life denying yourself, because someone else thinks you should has got to be the biggest sin. And since this is the only life that is tangible, I say go with your heart and you can't go wrong with that!

Merry Christmas all

As far as how did things get here, well in the beginning god created everything, well that is what christians believe. How they can take the bad and say that didn't come from him as well, just does not make sense to me.
