  they say ignorance is bliss... well, i wish that god did not give adam free will.

  i am ok to not have free will if it means i will live forever in perfect paradisiac conditions.it has been explained that free will is a gift from god.

  they say 'who would want to live life like a robot?

  Lurkers: Is it true that no servant of Jehovah in the bible celebrated birthdays?

  by juandefiero in

  did you know that job's family celebrated birthdays?

  the word translated "his own day" at job 1:4 is the same word translated "day of his birth" in job 3:1. .

  seems deceptive, does it not, to change that translation.

  @Juan. Hmmm....maybe I got the successive days idea from them. It's been a while. How about the tornado? If that was during such a feast the dubs would use it like all of the others.

  Remember who it was that caused the tornado? Jehovah gave Satan permission to test Job.

  My Bethel Exoerience part 14 "The Courtship"

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my strange bethel courtship started with me trying to meet mike stillman's sister, even though he worked in the ink room next to my elevator, we were not good friends, he was just a little to "country" for me........and on the self-righteous side too.

  they say "there is nothing more dangerous in combat then a new guy with a map!

  ".........well, there was nothing more dangerous at bethel then a self-righteous new boy.. .

  GTTM: How old are your kids again?

  You should just start celebrating the holidays and birthdays with your children. Your wife's cult demand she be submissive to her husband. According to watchtower doctrine, she is to "win you without a word."

  When she puts up a stink, remind her of this.

  CO's never say thank you for the green handshakes

  by suavojr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever noticed how co's and ex-do's never say thank you for the hard earned money they get from the friends?

  they truly believe they are entitled to live an easy life at the expense of others.

  this makes my blood boil!

  Fishing and JW's???

  by lurkernomore in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i was just reading a thread and came across a completely new jw 'rule', that of not being allowed to go fishing!..

  at least it's new to me as i always enjoyed fishing as did others in my old congregation.

  anyone else heard of this or had this imposed on them in they're jw lives?.

  Can I buy meat at the grocery store? Yes.

  Do I hunt for the joy of the hunt? Yes.

  Do I eat anything I hunt? Yes.

  Is it necessary for me to hunt in order to survive? No.

  Why do I hunt? Because I would rather get my meat from a free ranging animal than a factory farmed one any day of the week. I also prefer to get my meat from an animal that is an invasive species in my country. For example, Wild Hog. Wild Hog destroy native habitat in the United States, and are a nuisance. Humans are the only effective predator for the Wild Hog. There aren't enough wolves and mountain lions for hogs to make a dent in their population.

  Do I also hunt other native species? Yes, in particular deer. However, as other legitimate hunters, I use restraint and practice selective harvest. If you don't know the conservation reasons behind selective harvest, I suggest you research it.

  If you don't agree with hunting because it's "cruel," I suggest you go 100% vegan and never buy anything with leather or wool.

  If you are 100% vegan, STFU. You're worse than JW's when it comes to pushing your beliefs on others.
