  I was given to my Grandparents at 18 months, Grandad was the nicest bloke Ive ever met, certainly the only member of family I ever had that was nice to me.

  He died when I was in Childrens Home at age 5.

  Now mother gave me his gold watch, I cannot remember the make, what I can remember is the mechanical facination I had that caused me to take it apart at age 5 or 6, and of course I couldnt work out how to put it back together, all those cogs and that coiled spring.

  I have felt sick about this all my life because it would have been the only tangible connection with the only Human I ever Loved.

  I must have been born to be a mechanic however, when I grew up I joined the Royal Navy as a Helicopter Mechanic.

  The watch I most use now I won for 50 pence on e-Bay and it came from Hong Kong, funnt thing is, it keeps better time than my Rotary.

  Mosaic Law - Can anyone help to explain

  by Bells in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm hoping someone can shed a little light in regards to the witnesses stance around mosaic law?.

  as i understand it, they don't follow the law, however do take some principles from it.. .

  so - do they think that the mosaic law came directly from god?

  The Mosiac law was a "Tutor leading to Christ"in that it showed man, even when he had it spelled out to him what to do, it wasnt in his abilities to follow it to the extent that he could achieve his own salvation.

  The Christ therefore, freed us from the burden of the law, died in our place, and established salvation based on Gods grace rather than our own proven failed abilities to achieve salvation by works.

  The JWs however, have rejected the Christ by rejecting his grace, hense they have to achieve salvation by works, whilst they have admitted the abolishion of the Mosiac law, they have created their own law, and claimed it was from God, whereas it is doctrines of men.

  Whilst they have decided to use much of the Mosiac Law in their new law, they have added much too it.

  Stoning to death is no longer allowed in this secular world, so instead the Witnesses employ a figurative form of capital punishment where you are as dead to the rest of the religion, and you are promised real death when God executes his judgement. It is called disfellowshipping and shunning.

  Some laws of this new Jehovoric Law and that wernt in the Mosaic law and that have the death sentence include

  Smoking

  Communicating with ex JWs, (though this could be construed as communicating with the dead so is the same as the Mosiac law),

  Not acknowledging the God given sovereignty the GB has over the flock or questioning their infallibility.

  Much of the death laws of the Mosiac law are still retained by the JWs, such as Adultery and Astrology.

  The Jehovoric Law has many more minor laws though that were not in the Mosiac Law

  These forbid:-

  Watching James Bond films

  Being with members of the opposite sex

  Masterbating

  Having sex with your spouse in a way that goes beyond the missionary position

  Doing the twist

  Watching TV soap operas

  Celebrating Birthdays

  Playing with Sparlock toys

  Having friends outside the org, (though this was part of the Mosiac Law also to be seperate from the Nations).

  Etc Etc

  The most important part of the Jehovoric Law regarding the earning of salvation however, is the field service, the more you do, the more chance you have of being able to earn everlasting life independant of Jesus sacrifice, for another of the Jehovoric laws is that once a year, you must demonstrate to Jesus what you think of his "Grace", by rejecting the emblems of his New Covernant for the forgiveness of sins, you will stick to your salvation bt works thank you very much.

  Feeling about recent events

  these days i have strong feelings about the recent events.

  i mean the child abuse case.

  the context of the case makes me sure that our believe is not the truth.

  Maybe its time for you to get a new High Priest, a new mediator between God and men?

  Rather than the Watchtower Society, I would recommend, Jesus.

  You didnt try losing weight by eating anything "sugarfree" did you?, its been revealed that not only is the likes of Asparteme a neurotoxin, it also makes you fatter than the original made with sugar.

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/jun/11/why-our-food-is-making-us-fat

  The above is also an interesting read.

  I remember when I was a kid, everything was made with real sugar, we used to eat tons of sweets and cakes, evrything else was laden with fat, yet we were mostly skinny as rakes.

  With the prevalence of homosexuality in these last days, I think it is a serious oversight of the Governing body that they let Brothers travel together in the same car, even if there is more than two brothers, they might have an orgy!

  No Jehovahs Witness should be allowed to be in the company of any other human being, or animal for that matter!, a brother in a nearby congregation was repeatedly disfellowshipped for having sex with sheep, seriously. So no keeping cats with their nasty raspy tongues you sisters.

  Doctrines of men, dont you just Love em?

  First potential relationship since leaving WT, and I've been well screwed over.

  hi all i'm new to this, i joined because from what i can see this is the best ex jw forum out there.. anyway i'm male, 20, live in uk and left the wtbts after 2 years of being a student.. there was this girl called natalya and she has really took me on one hell of a ride.

  she was very helpful in my exit, because she often had debates with me and tried again and again to help me see sense.

  anyway we dated before i found the truth and to be honest, i never really stopped having these feelings for her even though we fell out a few times.

  Though I now from experience the pain you are in, maybe looking at it from another perspective might help you get over it?

  In a way you are lucky that she met this other guy now, therefore revealing the reality of her character and level of devotion to you.

  So, imagine things had gone as you wished, you ot married, got a mortgage on a house, had a kid or two, then she meets this other guy, leaves you, kicks you out the house, though you have to keep paying the mortgage and paying for the kids you cannot see, whilst this other fella reaps your fruitage.

  And whilst all this is going on, a really nice girl, who you hadnt yet met, one who would have wanted you above any other, and that would have been faithfull to you, you never would have got together with, as you where allready attched.

  But now, you are free of the one who has proven shes not the one for you, leaving you free to meet the one who is right for you!

  Attraction is so powerfull, and Love is so blind, I hardly know a man who is glad he married the girl he felt as strongly about as you feel for this girl.

  Proof that humankind existed at least 28,000 years ago

  by The Oracle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wonder how jws will react to this recent evidence that intelligent man existed at least 22,000 years before adam and eve arrived on the scene?.

  it looks like membership will continue to decline as far as intelligent jws are concerned.

  i'm sure there will be plenty of society's bottom feeders who will continue to find their way on to the jw publisher lists.

  And when we are talking about "Sisters", not just young hot Sisters, but old widows in their 80s, yes, allthough evil worldly people can visit old ladies, taking them meals on wheels for instance, Jehovahs Witness men are so sex mad due to having testicles like a bull, that even ones Love and devotion to Jehovah isnt enough to hold a brother back when he gets the scent of a sister, even one with no teeth that smells like cabbage, it sometimes took two or three Elders to hold me back.

  When I was in a Southern, (English) congregation, maybe it was an Apostate congregation or something because this was a very loving congregation, I used to visit lonely old Sisters who never saw anyone apart from the meetings, I figuered it was the sort of thing Jesus would have done.

  However, when I moved up to the North of England, I soon realised I hadnt been seeing the whole truth of the "truth", when it was made clear to me that such activities are NOT allowed!

  In fact, it wasnt even allowed for brothers to have Bible Studies with women that had progressed from RVs, even when I took a Sister along!, what on earth was the point of doing Field Service when as soon as you found interest they would stop you doing it because of their obbsession with sex!

  And these are the people who think they where chosen by Jesus!

  How Will The Watchtower Handle Disclosure?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, the disclosure of ufo's as being real is just matter of time.

  it's not a matter of any mayan calendar or galactic alignment.

  it's simply the eventual outcome of increasing and increasingly bold ufo observations.

  Not just Demon inspired, how about Global elitist inspired?

  After all, when the "Aliens" attack, only a united world government, or "New World Order" will be able to resist them, the scripture in Revelation 13 tells that it is the united world government that causes signs from the skys in oredr to decieve.

  A Muse song touches on this, something about spaceships from the skys, its just our leaders in disguise.

  Man had flying saucers eons ago, ancient Sanskrit documents tell of these and even give plans for, the Nazis were devolping these at Peenemuende, Vril craft based on the Hindu Vimanas, what we are seeing today could well be modern mans attempts at reverse engineering ancient technologies, could be one of the reasons why they keep crashing, allways seemed strange to me how these "Aliens" could navigate half way across the universe only to crash when they got here.

  William Cooper, Behold a Pale Horse, US Navy and US Airforce, claimed the "Illuminati" invented Alien threats, though he also claims they are actually working with Aliens, Government whistleblowers, are they really whistleblowers or working for the governments to try and get us to belive they are "hiding" something from us that doesnt really exist?

  Project Bluebeam, HAARP, they are plenty of references that indicate they have the technology to decieve us with that are no more bizzarre than the notion of Aliens flying light years to visit us yet only communicating by crop circles.
