I Need Help Please!!!

by CW02 in

friends

i'm a 24yr old non-witness who has been dating a 23yr old witness.

we met through a mutual friend.

when i met him i thought he was sweet and kind and the kind of guy i could see myself with for the rest of my life.

When I was freshly "out of the religion" but still believed all the teachings I was dating a nice young woman. We were both 23 years old. I still believed but wasn't really going to the meetings and still considered myself a Witness - she loved me enough to actually check out the religion.

She went to a couple meetings (without me knowing) and aranged some meetings with the elders to ask some questions. I recently had contact with her 7 years later. She revealed to me that she looked into the religion. Her reaction, at the time was, "these people are wacked". She even ripped up my blood card, while we were dating, because she wouldn't let me die because of that religions stand on that issue. She was honestly SCARED! She was horrified about a lot of what they believed. She loved me but in no way would ever be a Witness - her words exactly!

Here-in lies you conflict. If you accept that your fiancee will remain a Witness, you respect that but it's not for you...............YOU LOSE! Jehovah's Witness don't accept that. You and him will be looked down on by all his JW friends and family.

Why don't you do the same - set up a meeting with some of the elders and ask questions. I guarantee you won't get any straight answers or you will be confused/persuaded if you don't have any bible knowledge. You will also see that aceptance and love are conditional on you being a Witness. Please be careful! No matter how strong your love is it can not even compare to the gripping controll the Watchtower has over its followers!

So depressed...(world conditions)

by DanTheMan in

today was one of the hardest days i've had yet since leaving jw.

i was barely able to work, and i have a knot in my stomach.. i look at the world situation and i feel so hopeless and helpless.

knowing there are millions of people outside of the u.s. that, if you were to put a button in front of them that had a label below it that said "kill every man woman and child in the u.s.a." that they wouldn't even hesitate to press it.. i wonder where it will end.

Just remember this:

The US in the most technologically advanced country in the world. We have hundreds of thousands of highly trained killing machines (military) to protect us. The only country who could even give us any fight is China who's half way around the world. We have nearly every form of natural resource right here in our own country. Our most powerful ally is the second most powerful country in the world, Britain.

Unfortunately I think it's going to become a Islamic/Muslam vs. western world war. That would be a mess. I have 2 years left for the draft but I'll be dammed if I sit here on my ass after enjoying 30 years of that freedom countless thousands died for. War is nolonger meat shields and cannon fodder due to technology. I know it sounds callous but I say anyone who would want to push the "Kill all Westerners" button should not exist. Vaporize 'em.

The US can kick ass and sort the bodies later so don't worry. I have confidence. To live in fear and dispair is to not live at all. Life has wonderful things to offer if you seek them out.

How many would have stayed?

by freedom96 in

jw
friends

my lost new posting topic made me think of this question:.

if the wts was more normal, how many would have stayed?.

was it in fact the teachings that made you leave?

TTBoy

Damn Gary - I bet a gun to your head wouldn't have made you stay!

One word for me - COLLEGE

after that the rest was history. Mostly I disliked the hard core JWs, like the ones who home schooled thier children, had a pioneer mom and an elder dad. They acted so pius, like they were the perfect role models. BARF! Needless to say they had 3 outfits to wear and were the ugliest loosers in the whole congration.

We did have cool elders I'd have to say - it was the publishers always on my ass for something. It was hard to find fault because I put in aux pioneer hours during the summer but NO that wasn't good enough. Tell my parents you saw me driving down the highway at 80 MPH or that I was drinking too much. BS! Friggin busy body - gossipers. They should have minded their own business. My older brother even ratted me out once - never mind the rest of the kids at the party - I supplied the beer so it was my fault.

Why in their right minds would they attack a French oil tanker knowing they were one of the countries on the security counsel who was apposed to war with Iraq? Recently a series of attacks just as the US has passed a UN proposal resolution that calls for military action if Iraq does not comply with weapon inspectors. Sadam has said he won't follow any new US proposed resolution.

I was wondering what other people are thinking. Terrorists have twisted the meaning of jihad as I noticed after reading this http://www.unn.ac.uk/societies/islamic/jargon/jihad1.htm but it also said Muslims will fight an aggressor (as the US will be) if we premtively attack Iraq. Are terrorists trying to manipulate things to get their version of jihad?

Do you think the UN is destined to become like the League of Nations - obsolete?

Edited to add - I only mentioned Iraq because of what's going on now but you have a whole region of people who might go "ape shit" if we attack Iraq.

What is the truth?

by sleepy in

jw
friends

we spent so much time going on about "the truth" as witnesses , we thought we had the universe all sorted out .all those pillars of truth have now crumbled to dust.so what is "the truth"?.

that is , what is the correct understanding of life the universe and everything?.

how did the universe get here?what is conciousness and how does it work?is there a why or just a how?.

TTBoy

I hate hearing "evolution is a fact". It's not, it's a theory that has still to be proven. Gravity is a LAW. It's been mathmatically proven and until it's proven wrong, it's still a LAW. Evolution is neither a LAW or a FACT it is a theory. Unless there has been some new discovery that I'm unaware of it is still the THEORY of Evolution

A few defininations of theory:

1. The analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another.

2. An ideal or hypothetical set of facts, principles, or circumstances.

3. A plausable or scientifically acceptable general principal.

4. A hypothesis assumed for the sake of argument or investigation.

5. An unproved assumption.

Sorry this was way off tract but this is a pet peeve of mine.

What's Wrong With Killing Arabs?!

by TTBoy in

before you go tearing my head off - this thread is for pc gamers.. i just picked up soldier of fortune ii - double helix.

i am sick and tired of games that let us kill germans, south americans, and japanese.

why can't anyone make a damn game where you kill the modern day terrorists?

It's ok to keep killing Germans but NO, ohh God, please don't let us shoot Arab terrorists! Kill all the Germans but don't dare shoot an Arab terrorist.

I want a Teleban 1st person shooter. I want to blow turbans off and plug the women who do that stupid toungue (llbaaaa laaa blaaaa) chant when they celebrate Americans being killed. I want a tank raid through Iraq. I want Bin Ladin as the final game ending target.

Why are gaming companies such wousses? Do they have any idea how much money they could make by doing a game like this? I'm sick of this PC (politically correct) BS.
