Do you miss the sense of security the organisation gives you?

by Mr Facts in

i am sure most of you miss the sense of security regarding the future that the organisation offers- the certainty of everlasting life in the paradise earth, being healed and the confidence that you will definitely see your loved ones again if you remained faithful.

but why did you pursue a course of life that had suddenly turned everything into a fable?.

i have pity for you all.. .

..and having everything run by wt 'depts' filled by folk with no education and in many cases no knowledge except to ask someone else what to do.

One of the last meetings I attended mention was made that the 'resurection commitee' would get a directive to prepare (quarters i assume) for such n such who was to be resurrected on...

this is flying in the face and usurping the holy spirit....

I gasped at the effrontery of it all..

and for the many 'no sex' married sisters think about this. In the resurrection will come back in perfect health and youthful vigour many women who 'missed out' having sex and they will want to make up for lost time. You think your denied husbands wont stray or say 'Beat it! to you?

marriage without affection/sex/touching

by zeb in

yes thats my situation.

some where along the path of life the wt guilt trip was dumped on our marriage and we havent had sex for years.. anyone else?

the hearts and flowers and gifts and doing the cleaning, the house work and paying the daily accounts never being drunk on drugs playing the horses or screwing others yep its all there but nothing coming back due to the wt guilt trip.. they made so much of 'oral sex' and 'pornea' incorrectly quoted at that and ventured thereby into areas they were patently very ill equipped to comment on.

thanks all. Big hugs all round.

It took me a long time to write this...i'm staying.

by MsGrowingGirl20 in

it took me a long time to write this....i'm being brutally honest...i am still a reg pioneer...three sundays ago,i was praying and asking god for a sign or something because i was so confused...i told him exactly what i needed to see for me to believe.i was feeling terrible--crying and feeling sick because i was so confused.ten minutes after, i walked into the kingdom hall and to my surprise--my prayer was answered!

i soooo wasn't expecting it, even though i prayed.

so this is where almighty god wants me to be,ii've reasoned.

zeb

what was it that answered your prayer. ?

Have you the reader ever been burnt? I have.

the pain is beyond any description and when the growing back occurs you relive it again.

If Mario took blood it was his choice (sort of) given the state he was in. It is his life. Show empathy for him .

by truthsetsonefree in

http://www.wnyc.org/articles/wnyc-news/2012/jun/10/crown-heights-ultra-orthodox-jews-meet-combat-child-sex-abuse/.

this sounds so much like the judaic philosophy of jws.

several moderates here in nyc have been talking about the need to have secular law enforcement involved, not religious rabbis.

Jehovah's Witness School Principal a "tyrant and a bully"

by sizemik in

a controversial coney island principal has pulled the plug on patriotism.. her refusal to let students sing god bless the usa at their graduation has sparked fireworks at a school filled with proud immigrants.. greta hawkins, principal of ps 90, the edna cohen school, wont allow kindergartners to belt out the beloved lee greenwood ballad, also known as proud to be an american, at their moving-up ceremony.. context: middle correlation photo five classes spent months learning the patriotic song, which skyrocketed in popularity after the 9/11 attacks and the 2003 invasion of iraq.it was to be the rousing finale of their musical show at the june 20 commencement.

the kids, dressed up for their big day, would wave tiny american flags which, as the lyrics proclaim, still stand for freedom.. but hawkins marched in on a recent rehearsal and ordered a cd playing the anthem to be shut off, staffers said.. she told the teachers to drop the song from the program.. we dont want to offend other cultures, they quoted her as explaining.. the curt edict stunned both staff and parents.. a lot of people fought to move to america to live freely, so that song should be sung with a whole lot of pride, said mom luz lozada, whose son, daniel, is in kindergarten.. the song has been sung at previous school events.

last years fifth-graders, including another lozada child, performed it at graduation.. everybody applauded and whistled, the mom said.
