Today's Watchtower Lesson Really Bothered Me...
by dontplaceliterature ini was a hair away from telling my wife i never wanted to go to the kingdom hall again after today's watchtower.
the conductor mentioned something along the lines of..."if you think having to shun your disfellowshipped children is bad...you should read up on the israelites.
when one of their children was disobedient to the law, they had to take the before the judges so that they could be stoned to death...and guess who's job it was throw the first stone?".

Odrade- I doubt it. You would think so right? It seems like the more ridiculous they become, the more their followers just nod their heads and agree...

It was disgusting. I was bothered too. Our speaker emphasized on how this is such a LOVING thing to do and "Oh, surely the parents of the disfellowshipped one are the ones that hurt the most"...Then followed all the comments, one sister about having to shun her disfellowshipped daughter, then another brother about having to shun his disfellowshipped father. "Surely this is done for love so they realize they need to be in Jehovah's organization."
What really bothered me is they went on and on today about how these "disfellowshipped" ones are all fornicators, idolaters, and drunkerds...
How many people who get disfellowshipped simply decided not to believe the WTBTS docrines anymore or chose a different religion? They are not all gross sinners! The hypocrisy angers me...it took all I could not to get up and leave today, or even worse...raise my hand and comment on what my opinion was! UGH....Can't wait to get out!!

New To Wine - Looking for Suggestions
by HintOfLime inusually, in the evenings i like to relax, watch a movie or a comple tv shows, and sip on some vodka.. lately, however, i've gotten into reading again - and vodka just isn't the right drink.
the characters in the books are often read of drinking this wine or that - which has given me a bit of a craving for a good red wine.
something relaxing, and easy enough that it doesn't get you buzzed after a few sips (inhibiting my ability to read, etc.).

Lambrusco - It's red, light, sweet and also less alcohol than other wines. It's 8% other wines are usually 13%, It's also cheap to buy....I'm addicted!! Drink it chilled!!

Are you sick of conspiracy nuts?.....9/11
by Witness 007 inyes apparently the staff at the twin towers on 9/11 didn't notice the explosives strapped to all the beams on each floor......of course a plane fully loaded with jet fuel going so fast it nearly flew through the building {blew out the otherside} would not be enough to cause a collapse.
the building were glowing red!
people jumped due to the heat and smoke.

Have you seen "Loose Change"? It's a 9/11 conspiracy movie...It's quite interesting and almost believable...but I think I'm just gullable

My JW parents reasoning when I ask them this question...
Me- Why did Jehovah choose this organization to be his if they weren't correct about things when they were supposedly chosen?
M & D- "Jehovah chose them because they were a group of people searching for truth, the bible talks about about how the light will become brighter, like it has for us today"

Interesting point that you made in the Dec. Awake...and we can all see the hypocrisy of it, BUT if you were to show that article to a JW they would just say something like "The WTBTS publications are inspired by Jehovah and should be used to study the bible"....
The have an argument for everything = Circular Reasoning
1. "New Light"
2. "Imperfect Men"
3. "God's Inspired Organization"
It's pointless to argue with a JW... I know...I live with them....
