Does anyone else feel like their damaged goods?

by MsMcDucket in

jw

i feel like this all the time.

i have a husband that loves me, but i still feel like if i ever were on the singles market that i would not be a "good catch".

my health problems and most of all being a former jehovah's witness makes me feel less than perfect.. i'm having a pity party.

Lapuce

Everyone who comes to these forums is damaged goods because you are seeking companionship outside of Jehovah's congregations. Simple as that. "and most of all being a former Jehovah's Witness makes me feel less than perfect." Well Duh!!!! You made that choice to go against Jehovah so you are very damaged. I can't believe the stupidity on here.

Yes Grissom, I rather feel like a damaged good, then having no life at all as a witness, Damage but still in working order, Unlike some in the borg that are simply defective from being in there.

What the heck do JWs find wrong with Mother's Day, Father's Day,

by White Waves in

sweetest day????

and, how did wedding anniversaries get to be ok and not birthdays???

arghhh!

Lapuce

It is not that there is anything wrong with birthdays, but Jehovah's people voluntarily give them up to help their brothers and sisters to stay separate from the world. The celebrating of them is purely a following of the world. When someone sees that it is ones birthday, a worldly person would say "Happy birthday". That is such an automatic expression that it is meaningless. Is the one saying that going to do anything to help that one have a happy day or is that just "calling on the gods" to help? Any special "happy" day is just plain stupid.

Yes Grissom, its as automatic expression that its meaningless like when the brother in charge of welcoming at the KM does, its automatic, robotic, come on and get a life will ya...

Who has Tattoos?

by Good Girl or Bad Girl? in

jw
friends

hey y'all,.

how many of you have tattoos, and if so what are they?

what is the meaning, if any, behind them?

Lapuce

As a believer in Christ it is not a good thing to have on your body.
The Bible warns us against tattoos in Leviticus 19:28 this is an Amplified version which says, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord."
This is not condemn anyone who already has a tattoo, but just to warn those who are considering getting one.
The thing is to those who don't know, TATTOOING HAS WITCHCRAFT "ROOTS".

"Theocratic Warfare" - An Apostate Strategy?

by slimboyfat in

who here had ever heard of this so-called 'doctrine' of "theocratic warfare" when you were a jehovah's witness?

who has not heard of the so-called doctrine now that you are an apostate?

so why have witnesses never heard of 'doctrine', yet apostates seem to promote it as the last word on witness standards of honesty, integrity and decency?

Well I think that SFB is a spy, That is my opinion, as he decided from commenting his defense. I hope that he gets a life...

Slimfatboy, well your saying your not a JW, so why do you keep on defending them? Are you trying to spy on the behalf of the watchtower??? Since they monitor these boards, I'm not accusiing you by anyways, but you sound like a JW who refuses to listen to valid arguments.

What is the power the Internet has against the WTS, and how best to use it?

by jwfacts in

it has been discussed that the internet is bringing the wts to its knees far quicker than ever hoped for several reasons:rapid access to research of old publications through databasesanonymous nature of finding informationease of which a person can stumble accross information.

another powerful reason is interactivity with other people.

the ability to rapidly see many ideas on a board like this, ask questions and get answers allows personalisation to the individual needs of every truthseeker.

Lapuce

SlimBoyFat, you have a lot of interest in defending the WTS for someone who claims not to be a JW. I have to disagree with your comment. Apostates do not need large conventions, we are not a religion, we need regular support groups to meet in cities, and the internet facilitates that through meetup.com etc. The Internet provides what is needed now in the way of information dissemination . The internet has had an impact, look at the growth rate of the WTS since the internet. A recent newspaper said how Christianity and Church attendance is growing rapidly amongst youth in Sydney, but that is not happening for the JWs anymore. (and good point fullofdoubt)

I get the same impression too, I wonder why they would need more Pro-JW sites, as they already mentioned number of times the dangers of the internet, its like saying dont do what I do, but do as I preach or say...

Slimboyfat, I see that you are pro-witness and most of the times you are negative to many subjects discussed on this board. Are you still an active JW, if so you won't get many people back into the borg with these kind of answers.
