  Confession Time - Music You're Embarrassed to Admit Listening To

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  admit it, we all have things that we reel off when people ask what our favourite music is, just the same as if people ask what our favourite movies are.

  we're meant to say "citizen kane" and "casablanca" and not "battleship" or "pacific rim" but we know what we're going to watch if they are ever on tv at the same time (and which ones we've never actually seen).. so how about some confession time?

  what do you listen to when no one else is in the house?.

  Why dont the JWS see that they are supporting a corrupt and commercialized false Gospel ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  its astonishing to reflectively realize the jws are supporting a group of men who teach and profess a false and tainted commercialized gospel of jesus and his the new kingdom order.

  out of hundreds of christian faiths in existence only one teaches that 1914 was the year christ returned and has taken to his heavenly throne in heaven.

  according to the bible this date setting is an act of disloyalty and apostasy through the very words of jesus.

  Also, don't forget the religion people were baptized into in the 70's-90's is certainly not the same jw religion of today. I sometimes feel a lot of the older ones kinda feel stuck because of all the time they have wasted aka invested in this...

  The infamous WT article "Why Has God Been So Patient?"

  by days of future passed in

  2. bible

  i went to my sister's house because she was cleaning out the garage and she thought i must have tons of stuff left there.

  i didn't but there was a box of unplaced mags in one.

  i pulled out one when i got home and it was this one.. i'm sure that if i had read it when it came out, i would have felt that the wt had feelings of sadness over these children.

  Psychological Changes in the Vocabulary of the WTS

  psychological changes in the vocabulary of the wts.

  i have been reading the publications of the wts since i was 6, 60 years now.

  we were too poor to have more than one subscription for each magazine so i had to wait until my mother had read it (she let them pile up).

  I agree with all your thoughts and especially how they carefully calculate how they word things for manipulating guilt, fear and obligation. I still read all this literature so I can anticipate how my family deals with us.

  Anyone Tried "Sous Vide" Cooking?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. family

  i like a nice steak but cooking one can be a little intimidating and the results hit and miss especially when it comes to getting the right temperature so getting it wrong can be an expensive mistake.

  can anyone do that "finger and thumb together to check the doneness" thing?

  i can't .... so i came across this cooking technique called "sous vide" which cooks food (in a sealed vacuum bag) in a warm water bath, even steak.

  This brings to mind the chapter in the my book of bible stories where the disciples tried to stop the children from "bothering" Jesus and Jesus rebuked them- trying to teach them the right way to view and treat children. Hello all the wt spies reading these posts...and the PIMI ones on the fence...doesn't the example of Jesus and how he feels about children matter to you??? The organization you worship is not demonstrating the love they profess to have.

  Thank you! A lot of great points here. My PIMI family tries to blame Satan for everything, when it's usually bad choices. I have seen a lot that leave, immediately make some bad love choices, usually being with either with a partner that has traits of their more dominant parent or traits of high control.

  Also the org had (have) fixers, brothers who would go to the family of the abused and pay them off to keep quiet. Then these assholes would talk about how low the family could be bought off for. Any lurkers reading this- does this sound like the true religion to you??? Doesn't it bother you that your donations go to this type of rediculous behavior?
