we just finished watching outlander which is about a woman who goes back in time ~200 years from the end of wwii.
she ends up in the scottish highlands in the middle of the jacobite uprising.
it's a great show although the last episodes were a little graphic (they make game of thrones seem like sesame street).. but it got me thinking ... if you went back in time would you in fact be the 'god' you may imagine because of your knowledge of modern technology and the future?.
Sure, you might be able to be seen as impossibly wise and intelligent to them. They might see that as supernatural. You could at the very least have started your own cult! A big cult.
Eventually there would be questions you couldn't answer, problems you wouldn't have a solution for. Then you'd have to make up answers and talk out of your ass.
Thats when you know you've started your own religion!
i talked to my dad today, after i text him when i was angry after a night out.
i'm starting to get closure on my parents relationship with regards to me.the dynamic between them versus me is abusive.
my dad didn't think i had any reason to be bitter.he said i chose to leave "jehovahs people" and this is what i should expect as treatment.
So... You came out as gay when you were 19 and they kicked you out?
They don't consider that abusive... wow.
Maybe show them some of the facts, science and statistics of homosexuality. I know facts don't mean much to these people but you could poke holes in their JW ideology and "facts"
saw similar title in a google search so thought i'd read more and now simply have to share my experience if anything to hear that i'm not insane and it is that simple.. met and fell madly in love with a witness, and her with me.
what began as love at first sight turned into a 6 year relatiomship which simply ended very bluntly.
there were many painful twists and turns along the way, first from her inability to leave her husband, then my mistake in finding someone else as i simply couldn't take the pain of her coming and going with such simplicity, but in the end she got a divorce and suffered many consequences within 'the truth', and i sorted my issues which were many and admittedly dug with my own hands and stupidity in trying to protect a young girl who had done no wrong in this long affair.. eventually we found ourself on what i believed to be the home straight.
So you went after a married woman? JW or not you're a piece of shit man. I hope you do marry her, and she's stolen from you the same way.
Dont look for sympathy in your situation, you don't deserve it. You don't deserve anything good at all for that matter.
i am a dyed in the wool carnivore.
i suffer from cheese addiction.
lobsters are mercilessly boiled alive.. but after watching this new documentary called cowspiracy on netflix, all that may change.
hello, new member here.
i have a question that has been bugging me for a couple of months now.
so i have been dating this guy(a witness ) for over a year now.
Just find yourself a nice MAN to date. Beliefs aside, if he were really a man he would proudly defend the woman he loves.
Jus sayin'
i was reading on wikipedia about the watchtower society and it lists a william henry conley as the first president of the wt society (1881-1884).
i was wonder if this is correct and why the modern jw's have eliminated him from the societies history?
the only thing is the society was not incorporated till 1884 with russel as president.
Check out Barbara Anderson's site, watchtowerdocuments.com
She tells in her personal story her time at HQ doing research for the proclaimers book. She was the one who discovered that.
last week we had the cos visit and i wanted to share my experiences with you.
some background info on me, i knowttatt and am fully awake, my wife also knows my doubts and read a few things on the internet but she is still 100% commited to the truth, saying everything on the apostate sites are lies.
so right now i am in just to keep the status quo.
i just found these vidoes on youtube, maybe you have seen them already, but i thought i would share.
these canadian kids for me are courageous and inspiring.
more excellent public examples of non vitrial apostate awakening.
