  Lifetime Regret for Not Expressing my Love to a Non-JW

  by a-JW-girl in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i want to impart some advice from my life experience that i hope will help others in a similar situation and prevent them from making the same mistakes i did, ruining my life.

  to begin with, i’m a 52-year-old single woman, i’ve been a devout jw since i was a little girl.

  i had an abusive dad who left my mom, my two sisters and me when we were fairly young.

  "He was married and had a couple of kids."

  This is where the story should have ended. But, you kept it going. You wrote:
  

  
  

  
  My point is that I should’ve done something about this a LONG time ago. I should’ve made the move. I should’ve told him I was truly in love with him.

  No, you should not have. You are incredibly selfish to not even consider the kids, much less his wife who probably worked her butt off creating a family. Marriage is hard work. I'm sure she put up with a lot of his failings at great personal distress at times. (all married people do) Who knows what kind of trauma she experienced because of the fantasy you helped promote in his mind?

  You did this to yourself....trapped by your own sin.

  You have been in a destructive cult your whole life and have likely been "compartmentalizing" lots of other stuff too, like WT false prophecies, CSA deception, UN deception, Malawi / Mexico fiasco.... the list is much longer.

  If you still believe in Jesus, he once said that even if you look at another with lust in your heart that you are guilty of adultery. Hebrews 9: 27 says that judgement awaits us after we die. You need to repent and start acting on what you already know to be right, not only with this fantasy, but with your soul as well.
  
  Find a real bible-believing church where you won't be viewed as a two headed Martian if you decide to accept the the new covenant "for the forgiveness of sins" (Mt. 26: 27-28)

  Once you are adopted in God's family, he is likely to give you peace about a great many things. You seem pretty stuck in the past. God has a plan for you if you'll trust him.

  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. - Jer. 29: 11

  My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

  wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

  that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

  Another Recent Article:

  "So in the in the first four days after the Webb images were released, we wrote these papers, and we realized that GNZ11 wasn't unique — there were others of these very bright, very luminous galaxies, which we interpreted as being unusually massive. Then, within weeks, there was another one even further back in time, closer to the Big Bang, that was still very massive. That has really been a surprise.....

  What we need to do now is go in and look at those objects in more detail, see if we can learn more about what's actually in that galaxy. What the stars are like, whether there's lots of smaller stars that contribute a lot of mass. Theorists are now wondering: how do you build a galaxy like this so quickly, and does it have a black hole that's been building extremely rapidly in there as well"?

  If not the WT/JW relgion where else are 'we' to go? Why not atheistic/scientific philosophical naturalism?

  sometimes jws wonder if the wt/jw is not the truth, 'then where else are we to go?

  Now that is the point, isn't it?

  No, of course that is not the point. I suspect that you are merely pretending to not get the point.

  Why not just explain how your new philosophy views where information comes from? It is a simple enough question that I'm sure you can see the importance of. But, I doubt you will attempt to address this.

  All the same, if you and your top thinkers in scientific-naturalism can't find a suitable unguided and unintelligent information source, then:

  Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

  -Arthur Conan Doyle
  

  So for me, this is the dock where I get off the scientific-naturalism boat. In your OP you asked the question; Why? The point is that the thought restrictions that your new philosophy dictates to you, are simply not acceptable to me. But, you are welcome to ride that boat all you want.

  Not for Sea Breeze though. Thought freedom and truth matters to me. Setting sail for those shores.

  DJW,
  
  Newton had a practice of thinking outside of "settled" science (and theology). This helped him shape his three laws of gravity. However, Einstein (another believer in God) later proved Newton to be wrong about the laws of gravity.
  

  So, Newton was wrong about a lot of stuff. He believed in alchemy and that you could create gold from other metals. So what? That's not the point is it?

  The point is that like the Roman Catholic Church did in times past, the scientific materialists / naturalists attempt to STOP rational thoughts that don't confine themselves to their dogma.

  They support their illogical belief systems by pretending to not to know a lot of things.... like where information comes from:

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA-FcnLsF1g&ab_channel=DiscoveryScience
  

  Professor Richard Lewontin (1929–2021), a geneticist (and self-proclaimed Marxist), explains how this ideology restricts thought. He wrote this very revealing comment (the italics were in the original). It illustrates the implicit philosophical bias against Genesis creation—regardless of whether or not the facts support it.

  ‘Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.

  It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.

  Again, no thanks.

  For me, it is because it acts like a giant cult. No thanks.

  "In a recent court case involving the right of the ICR Graduate School to teach science from a Biblical perspective, a physics professor from California State University at Long Beach testified that if Isaac Newton were on the school's faculty today, his position on creation would prevent the school from being recognized by the State of California. This professor objected to statements such as the following in Mathematica Principia where Newton said:

  "This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all, and on account of His dominion He is wont to be called Lord God, Universal Ruler.".

  When questioned how this professor could make such a statement about one who is recognized as possibly the greatest scientist who ever lived, he replied that if Isaac Newton persisted in maintaining a creationist position as he did in Mathematica Principia, knowing what we know today, he would not be recognized as a credible scientist."

  Kings Dr..... that's funny. They can take the silver spoons out of their mouths and start digging their own graves with them. They will not win this fight they have picked.

  I'll bet they wish they were already kings as well!

  I'm pretty sure they already believe that - they certainly act like it. They teach that they were appointed over all the things that Jesus has authority over. Since Jesus said that all authority had been given him in heaven and earth, at the very least they consider themselves kings of planet earth - RIGHT NOW

  The apostle Paul ran into the same sort of narcissists... nothing new. Just don't step in it.

  [You behave as if] you are already filled [with spiritual wisdom and in need of nothing more]. Already you have become rich [in spiritual gifts]! You [in your conceit] have ascended your thrones and become kings without us 1 Cor. 4:8 Amplified Bible

  DJW / Anony Mouse:
  
  The BB theory has a history of failed predictions and only explains about 5% of the universe according to its own theory. That alone is pretty shocking. So, it's really not much of a theory when dissected. This former engineer with the U.S. military's space program, breaks it down bit by bit:
