Bringing children into this System of Things.

by Nihilistic Journey in

before i left a number of years ago i remember getting bombarded with the message that we shouldn't have children as it wasn't fair to them.

they would have to grow as conditions got worse during the end.

is there anything in the literature or was this just through talks.

Anyone else remember this thought and has it continued past the time I left 20 years ago?

Did you get " Counseled " about the Music you Listened to While you were a JW ?

by flipper in

jw
friends

from the time i was a small boy - i loved rock n' roll music.

beatles, rolling stones, led zeppelin, hendrix.

i started getting slighted for the music i listened to as i lay in my bedroom listening on headphones to led zeppelin's song " black dog " at age 14 with my elder dad looking suspiciously at me as i'm rocking out .

Nihilistic Journey

My dads elder friend was a huge Bob Marley fan but had the nerve to complain about my REM tape because one song was called Losing My Religion and listening to that would make me atheist...wait he was right!!!

Good idea or bad idea?

by stephanie61092 in

first and foremost, thank you so much to so many of you who have reached out to me over the past few days since my post on sunday.

i'm not totally in the best mental state, however, i do have a very small amount of people that i can lean on for support.

i relayed my feelings to a friend (my only friend, really), who took the initiative to inform my family.

Nihilistic Journey

Don't give up on therapy. It is changing my life for the better. Be true to yourself and don't focus on just getting reinstated. If you don't want to donate then don't. Let your actions speak. Demonstrate "zeal" by conversing with your family about "great" things from talks and from the magazines. Maybe ask an elder for a personal study to "strengthen" your faith then kiss @$$ to get him to go to bat for you.

bible author and dates

by Nihilistic Journey in

i seem to recall in either the green bible or the black/red leather bible a list of bible books with the supposed writer and approximate date of writing.

could anyone share that with me if you have that available?

thank you.

Nihilistic Journey

That's exactly what I'm reading right now.

It's funny how this differs so much from current scholarship yet they refuse to consider anything else. Also funny how I use to buy it all...hook,line, and sinker.

Did Jesus actually start a church to himself?

by TTWSYF in

with some 30,000 different christian denominations, how would one know which one was for real?

some folks think jesus did start a church, others think no.

Nihilistic Journey

A physical church there is no proof that he did. He intent doesn't seem to have been to start a new religion but to reform his current religion. His original disciples would be more Jewish than what we think of as Christian. Then Paul worked to change all of that and succeeded at the Council of Jerusalem. After that it became the religion of Jesus rather than Jesus' religion.
