hello everyone, my wife wants nothing to do with my awakening.
every time i try explaining something she tells me she doesn't want to hear it.
i believe she's afraid of learning something she's not ready for.
Are you going to meetings? How did you first tell her?
When you come out big time up front, its gonna be hard.
It is always better to help lead them to think on things with breadcrumbs.
The "I dont know how this fits" or "why would this change again" or "this doesnt seem like something jesus would do" ... "what do you think" questions.
female martyrs will be chief of 72 virgins the fairest of the women, and plus she will made beautiful , happy and without jealousy .."whoopee" their paradise is worst than jw's paradise..
My question is - what do you do after that 72?
Forever is a long time, if virgins are so worth dying for, what do you do on day 73?
while making bread this morning and between answering the door and phone calls, i listened on steam radio to the programme in our time with melvyn bragg.
his panel of experts explained how the discovery of thousands of bird fossils has revolutionised our perception of avian evolution.
i recall watchtower literature smugly presenting darwin’s admissions in his origin of the species that the geological evidence for bird evolution is “imperfect” in fact missing.
How long will it be before the JW organisation become honest with information and publicly admit that they have been wrong in so many things including evolution?
Ah... NEVER!
this weeks watchtower study (september 2017) about self-control states: "clearly, people who lack self-control are causing problems for themselves and for others.
and the problem of lacking self-control is worsening.
self-discipline was studied in the 1940’s, but recent studies have shown that people have become much worse at exercising self-discipline.
The - DONT Masturbate - Don't look at PORN Study:)
as a witness i always found a way to not have to embarrass myself by sitting down for the national anthem.. i’m curious.
how many of you stood up for the patriotic song?.
Yes of course. Sometimes you just feel like to much of an ass!
why did jesus supposedly cast the demons into a herd of pigs?.
(matt 8 / luke 8).
and, how were there so many demons inside one man, that when "released" by jesus, it took a whole pack of pigs to contain them??.
HMMM Could it be that Pigs were UNCLEAN!
Could it be... Satan!

IF GOD IS BEYOND THE REACH OF SCIENCE - and the scientific methods...
Then HOW possibly could he INTERACT with ANYTHING in the Universe.
If he can INTERACT in any way with anything in the universe - then he would be detectable by science.
Unless of course, he was like a leprechaun! Then my argument crumbles.
i've picked up from several replies to posts here that the org has stopped using the term "worldly" as it applies to people.
this must have happened after i left.
would someone be so kind as to explain the "rationale" behind this shift?
I still heard it all the time - from everyone.
i never understood why many jehovah’s witnesses will say “the friends”.
it seems so mormon like..
Would the Brethren be better?
:)
just had a jw freak out over some magic 8 balls that i have.
next thing you know i turn my head and it was thrown into a box to get rid of it.
is it because it has the word magic in it?
