  associating with me at the gym and told me about the jw.org website and how so far more than a 1000 studies have been started due to the people going to that website.. is it true...did anyone hear the same or is it bullshit that i got?.

  Perhaps world wide - if so that is a pretty lame number. In any event how many of these studies convert to baptized contributing publishers?

  Does this parrot wear an eye patch? I think this variation of parrot instead of snake would add a bit of humor to the episode. And, humor is a good thing.

  If the parrot was part of the episode would that mean that parrots would lose their wings? Didn't the snake lose his/her legs in this transaction that changed human history?

  at the end of his final talk he said of the gb: they are telling the higher ups , "start getting ready we're not going to be around much longer!

  " and we expect the angels to release the four winds any day now!

  " my first thought was why are you building a corporate country club then?!

  is it possible to raise good kids with out religious morals?

  by Princess Ashe in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  making up my mind on how to teach my son values in life seems to be an on going struggle of what is right and wrong.

  being raised in a sheltered jw life until after leaving high school seems like going from one extreme to another of being over restrictive or under.

  trying to find that balance.

  I am not sure why society equates religion with ethics and morals. Ethics and morality are concepts that are separate from religion and are not tied with religion. Religious people can be moral and ethical, but so can non religious. The reverse applies.

  So, I hope that I am teaching a moral and ethical framework for my child. I also hope she understands that you can be moral and ethical without being religioius.

  I don't give a flying rat's arse what you or anyone else thinks about me. I guess I am very spiritual.

  To quote a line from Eminem, which is one I try to live by: "f*&ck the whole universe."

  What every you think about rap, this is one of the inspirational lyrics ever.

  by FeelingFree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering how many of you suffered badly with depression when you were in "the truth" and if you feel your depression was related to being part of the organisation?

  are you better now you have left or still have issue's?

  whatever your experience's i would be very intrested to know (if you feel you can talk about it.).

  I suffered terrible depression, guilt and a few other negative emotions when I was a part of Jehovah's organization (what a wonderful god).

  When I learned TTATT, I made a personal resolution to remove negative emotions from my life - it has worked, for the most part.

  Do You Think All JWs Believe Whatever Their Religion Teaches?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that same question applies to catholics, jews, islamists, baptists and so on.

  .

  just because you belong to a religion, does it mean you espouse every idea that they have ever presented?.

  I doubt they really understand the "truths" outlined by the Watchtower. When I was learning TTATT, I spoke to a few people - not to convince them that they were wrong, but to help me understand. I was hoping that through these conversations I could understandy why the JWs had the truth.

  I soon gave up. It was clear that they did not understand basic Watchtower concepts.
