  2. entertainment

  since i have stopped attending meetings i have realized that there are alot of good t.v.

  shows that i have missed as well as channels that i would not watch because they would no doubt be in opposition to the scriptures(har har).. .

  i have been watching the history channel and the discovery channel so much over the last few months that it is amazing.

  Game of Thrones is a tv adaptation of George R R Martins fantasy novels. It's HBO which is normally good quality.

  if its comedy yo are after it's hard to beat Curb Your Enthusiasm.

  i like her videos about self-injury and other mental and physical problems, that could happened to young people.... she say that she is an active jw and regularly visit the meetings and go to service.. http://www.youtube.com/user/idranktheseawater.

  but... what can you say about her wearing and hair style?.

  it's cool, but it's "non-spiritual" style, not for "true" jw, isn't it ?!

  Breaking bad

  The Americans

  The Vikings

  Game of Thrones (it drags a bit but good)

  Hannibal

  Homeland

  The Walking Dead (although it could be better, I still like it)

  The Killing (the original is best but US version is good too)

  The Bridge (outstanding. There's a US remake coming soon too)

  Why does god kill children?

  by Comatose in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was thinking about all the accounts in the bible that indicate god kills children as a punishment or teaching experience.

  1. kills all of egypts firstborn sons, who were innocent kids who did nothing to him or his people, who had no control over the decisions pharoah made.

  how many times have you read that account or thought about it without realizing the devastating pain dealt to all those parents, and remembered those were innocent kids?.

  Tec, you sound like an honest and good person, be honest here, don't you think for whatever the reason, god asking Abraham to kill his son was immoral? Just a yes or no.

  Cofty's post quoting Hebrews 11 shows quite clearly that he was going to kill his son on the orders of God, I can't see any other way around that.

  Hi Tec

  id say most folk here are aware of the bible story of Abraham and what the outcome was in the story, I don't think that was the question. Going by what you said there would indicate to me that Abraham went about what he was doing in the FULL knowledge that god would step in and stop him, as if playing along with gods game as it were? Until god decided to show tell him that he wasn't to murder his son. I can't say I've ever had that impression when I read that story.

  i was an elder until march 2012 until i resigned.

  i then stopped going to meetings in october 2012 and have enjoyed 9 months of freedom that i have found to be jouful!

  i loved learning ttatt and sites like this and jwfacts.com have been excellent.. i told the elders that i needed a break and that they should not contact me unless it was a social visit and true to their word they have done that.

  Also you must know as a former elder, if someone questions any doctrine the first step is for the elders to go and attempt to 'readjust their thinking' , if that doesn't work it's a JC for apostasy.

  Not sure, you can be rest assured that this is excellent advice. The reason everyone is saying this is through experience. People who have been best mates with elders on the same body have been cast aside for talking about the things you mention.

  if you want to fade don't do it, if you want to leave in a blaze of glory then give it a go. And I'm sure it's 1980 on the organ transplants. It tells you in COC.
