  The WT doesn't believe in infant baptism, but does an 11 year old really understand what they're getting into isn't just a pool with a lot of people looking on?

  I feel sorry for this kid. He cannot know the implications of this baptism. I sure didn't at 17.

  marriage without affection/sex/touching

  by zeb in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  yes thats my situation.

  some where along the path of life the wt guilt trip was dumped on our marriage and we havent had sex for years.. anyone else?

  the hearts and flowers and gifts and doing the cleaning, the house work and paying the daily accounts never being drunk on drugs playing the horses or screwing others yep its all there but nothing coming back due to the wt guilt trip.. they made so much of 'oral sex' and 'pornea' incorrectly quoted at that and ventured thereby into areas they were patently very ill equipped to comment on.

  After experiencing "perverted" sex practices, I could never marry a JW anyway. To go back to only missionary, man-on-top would be --- ugh! I never did understand why a group of men are all in a couple's bedroom. If it's consensual, anything goes!

  Do you now have a customized religion?

  by losthobbit in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was never a jw.

  i was a member of the church of christ.

  i didn't jump from christian to non-believer, but rather went through a transition period, and i'd guess that all of you did the same,... changing beliefs bit by bit until you believe what you do now.. when i first realized that there were logic problems in the bible i started to find excuses for those problems.

  The light keeps diminishing

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  today's wt says it all.

  read this, it accurately portrays the last 50 years of fading light from the saddest bunch of con-men in history.. 15 to answer, imagine that you are reading a book by the light of a 100-watt bulb, but then the bulb fails.

  since you are left in the dark, you immedi- ately notice what happened and replace the burned-out bulb with a new one.

  Can't say that I've felt the HS when I was JW but I did notice a different atmosphere at the KH or assembly than when I went to a church or "worldly" function. I would call it energy. For example, I went to a lesbian club with my sister. To me, there was something missing, perhaps the energy that the men would have contributed. When I do ritual by myself, it is different when I do ritual with hubs or with others.

  I will say this - when I found paganism, I felt at peace, like this is where I belong. Was it spirit? Unsure. But we all have spirit as well as the other 4 elements. It is within us and without. What people call the HS is the spirit of the universe. It is not handed out to certain people. We ALL have it.

  JWs and Neutrality

  by Vidqun in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws have always had a problem with neutrality:.

  1) during ww i they encouraged via the magazines to buy war bonds, i.e., liberty bonds, as it was then known, thus actively supporting the war effort (search, under "war bonds").. 2) during ww ii, the australian branch also invested heavily in war bonds in order for the ban to be lifted.

  after the war, they had to repent, before jehovah could bless their efforts again.. 3) more recently the wts has invested in companies with defense contracts.. 4) membership of the un as ngo (1992-2001).

  Being neutral is being ignorant. After I realized that I do indeed have opinions about the US govt that I live under, I became more alert to world affairs. I don't vote but I identify as Libertarian.
