Still thinking, you are right, we don’t know what’s out there, and we blow our own trumpets too much (some more than others), but compared with unanimated matter rightly so.
Personally I believe in God because all of this has to have an origin, an ultimate cause and He has to be far superior to any of His creations, in this case ourselves. But this is just my opinion.
I suppose it’s not a question of size, the earth is a small garden in an immense desert. Each and every human is more valuable than millions of galaxies with all of their stars. Still the vastness of the Universe is humbling. God is no one to be mocked.
i've been receiving very bitter messages from jws i know, mostly my mother, but also others that know how to contact me electronically.
sometimes i find myself mad at her, though not displaying it.
but i know it's really not her or my fathers fault.
I have forgiven myself, I was still a minor when I got baptized and I sincerely wanted to know the Bible and serve God the right way. I didn’t know what I was getting into like nobody does. I am angry with whoever runs this cult and whoever has taken advantage of my good faith during the years I was dumb enough to stay in. Them, I don’t forgive.
i am quite impressed at the power the gb wields globally and it prompted in me the strong desire to start my own religious cult.
i wouldnt any hurt anyone though, my goal is just to experience the privilege that power and authority gives and in the process grow financial empire.. i am presently putting down some strategies down in paper and i have been watching many videos on youtube and accessing cult-related materials, learning from cult leaders arround the world and observing their modus operandi.
please if you do have any suggestion, freely offer it, i will appreciate it so much.. .
You need to be a bit of a psycho, the rest will be easy. And be discreet, don’t make it too obvious how much you are actually getting laid, likely your followers wont.
This raises a couple of questions:
Has the branch office been notified of all disfellowshipped and disassociated individuals who are now reinstated or deceased?
Why do they want to be informed of a disfellowshipped or disassociated person decease? I felt very secure in my apostate hood state, now not anymore.
Are any publishers under judicial restrictions and is their spiritual progress being monitored closely?
I wonder if some brothers could feel stalked by this. I remember I felt a bit unsettled by the last CO I had, this may explain why….
Anyway, who is obsessed with who? Are we apostates not right in feeling that we can not move on with our lives as free individuals and leave this organization behind once and for all?
hi everyone, this is sort of a long story but i'll try to keep it short.. mrs inisc was previously married, and before our wedding the elders were giving us a bit of a hard time as her divorce was nigh on complete but just wasn't officially finished, however what they were really concerned about was they weren't sure her ex husband had had "relations" as they like to say,as there wasn't enough satisfactory evidence in their opinion.
this of course made me almost catatonic with rage, especially since we hadn't been to a meeting in about 6 f'ing months and this was what they were worried about.
and i might add the wedding was entirely booked!.
I feel very sorry for anybody that is trapped by this unscrupulous people, that come and accommodate themselves in the married bed, that according to the Bible should be undefiled, and let them dictate their personal decisions. I have seen many cases of this during the years and all I can say is that somebody should seriously check their mental health.
recently, i showed a great deal of vulnerability by posting that severe pain had popped out again and my morphine pump needs some tinkering.
it seems i am attacked with some frequency for posting here but other frequent posters are not.
rather than discuss the merits of a subject, some people engage in personal attack.
Hi Band on the Run, I hope you are feeling better and that you come back soon. It is ok to disagree with someone but it should never get personal. I miss to read your point of view on different issues. Take good care of yourself
how many of you since leaving the wt now beleive in a soul that will survive your physical body?
any thoughts?.
According to wikipedia soul is the incorporeal and immortal essence of a person, living thing or object.
heh peoples.
since joining jwd i have been inundated with women throwing themselves at me from every corner in the world.. .
i am not close to funny.. .
They probably idealize you a bit as they can not see the real you only your beautiful purple icon…don’t let it get to your head though, JWD is not an accurate measure of the real world.
read this on the internet today:.
"within jungian psychology there is a concept known as the shadow.
most of us encounter our own shadows in the form of projection.
I met one very nice sister that was pioneering for many years that was accused of being proud because she challenged one elder. He even took her to the second school to put her in her place, Insight book in hand. Felt very sorry for her, she wasn’t happy with her life at all.
