Thanks for always being so positive!I might like the "evil astrology" more than the "Knowledge that leads to Everlasting Life"

Delve Deep
The somber tides of time bequeath
a lonesome song to myst ears may seek
but if your heart shall follow nye
my earnest depths of thought shall dieBut if you follow true my love
a song to you from far above
will lift your spirit soaring high
among the burning midnight skyAlas my only hopes are this
you wilst me all your willingness
and prove powerless to fates delight
and live together in paradise. .The Question
The Mystery of Time is haunting me
I ask myself what answers thee
Why hast thou cast me
here to burn
A fate I had not asked
a turn
My prayers and pleas left still
untouched
My bones are churning into dust
Just answer me once is all I ask!
Before I take my turn to pass. -

for married people only
by teejay inthere's a running debate i have going with my wife.
i have the opinion that it is very possible for married people to have friends of the opposite sex without the idea of a sexual encounter entering into the picture.
she disagrees, saying that once you're married, the marriage mate should be enough to offer you all you need in the way of companionship, conversation,etc.. let's say you're running an errand at the mall and happen to see someone of the opposite sex that you have known for years (your mate knows/doesn't know them... doesn't matter) and you decide to grab a cup of coffee and have a two-hour chat.

Normal; however, my husband has lots of close friends who are women and I have no problems with it nor do I have any worries about those relationships (you are right about trust and acceptance with your mate -that is top priority) but I tend to wonder if I was hanging out for hours at a time with a male friend(s) if he would be bothered by it(because I think he would). However, maybe your wife has good reason to be concerned. Maybe your a real hotty and she has to keep close tabs on you or maybe she's known you a verrrrry long time and knows how friendly you can be and worries other women might sway you the wrong way. We'd have to hear more of her side of the story too. But if mates have true trust and love their should be no concerns with opposite sexed friends.

JanH and Rex13:
Hi, I just want to say the complexity of your posts blows my mind. You both must spend undoubtless hours researching your beliefs. I wish I had that kind of time to do research but since I don't I pull what I can off of other peoples thoughts. I commend you both for your hard work at delving into biblical issues. I can't help but wonder sometimes (and I'm only speaking for myself) whats the point?
I don't mean what's the point like who cares because I find it very interesting reading; however, I will never understand why if there is a God he had to make everything so damn confusing! But that would be a whole other subject.
Anyhow, thanks again for your interesting perspectives.PeacePipe

I NEED ADVICE DESPERATELY!!!
by concerned fiance inhere is my situation: my fiance is now 27 years old.
he was raised as a jw from the age of 2 through 18. at that time, his whole family left the "truth" except for his older brother who had already married another woman from the faith.
for the past 9 years, he has been living his life to the fullest, but still loving god, praying often and he is a truly honest and moral person.

Concerned Fiance,
It's hard to shake things that have been with us since a very young age. In your fiance's case it would be his watchtower teachings. You said since he left he's lived life to the fullest and you both have discussed how you would raise your children. That all said, his convictions he developed since leaving the org. apparently aren't as strong as the ones he grew up with. I would also conclude he simply is afraid of UNeverlasting life. These are things he needs to deal with on his own. You won't be able to talk him into anything else. Showing him things mentioned here and discussing things from your viewpoint hopefully will help but he may just need time to sort things out especially if he is willing to give up your relationship to go back to the organization.
I hope things work out for you both. :)PS: you may want to mention to him that it is a braver deed to sacrifice ones life for love because love may be the one and only real truth.

THIS got WT Leaders thrown in Jail

I believe in the DANIEL book that there was a page or so about those men being in jail and how (as someone mentioned earlier) that they were released and these events fulfilled one or some of the prophecies in Daniel. For someone who has not studied the bible all their life this still put up a red flag in my mind.
