Long Overdue Observation

by earthfire in

i just thought this was funny when it popped into my head this morning.

funny because i should have thought of it long ago and i'm sure that i'm not the first to think this.

the big point comes after my little spiel.. so, god tells noah to build an ark because he has a lot of killing of the wicked to do and only noah and his family seem to be good enough.

“whether I shall not open to YOU people the floodgates of the heavens + and actually empty out upon YOU a blessing until there is no more want"

What a load of crap! It's more like, "bring in the tenth parts and you'll have that much less of the meager wages you make because we forbade you to get an education. Oh, and we'll keep nagging you to give more."

Thinking of having revenge on the jw girl

by spirituk in

hello again, following my story with this girl , and after she blocked me on fb and not answering my phone calls since december , i am now thinking of taking revenge.my feelings of pain are starting to become hate ,and pain always is accompanied by the feeling of revenge to satisfy this bad feeling.i just cant simply forget what shes done to me.

the reasons of my revenge :.

1.she played with my feelings when she knew from the start that she would leave me one day.

cobaltcupcake

I was pushed into an early marriage to an older man. After we were married he raped and sexually humiliated me repeatedly. Because we were JWs I stayed with him for 27 years. Once I woke up to TTATT he threatened to kill me. I left both him and the cult at the same time.

I don't feel any need for revenge or retribution of any kind. I've forgiven him and my heart is at peace.

Learn to forgive or you will never know a moment's peace.

where does it say that they were jws?

"Levi Moore, an elder at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses at 2626 N. Lewis Ave., said the women were volunteers who walked door-to-door ministering and distributing religious literature."

Such a sad story. One woman was motionless on the ground - sounds ominous.

I once gave my entire presentation while a dog had my knee in its mouth. Ruined my pantyhose, but that's it. I couldn't believe the owner didn't do something about that. I finally gave the dog a karate chop on the nose.

NLP, Subliminal Messages and the WT Writing Department

by 00DAD in

a few years ago i became interested in the subject of neuro-linguistic programming (nlp).

while the core concepts of nlp have been largely discredited as new-age pseudo-science, there is no doubt that there is at least some validity to the idea.

words and images remain the key way we communicate.

cobaltcupcake

"Wrong" is the word that has the most impact in that sentence. I thought it was oddly worded too. Why not say, "It is only natural to hope...." Definitely some subliminal jerking around going on.

The Governing Body and the Talking Dog

by Terry in

consider the following scenario:.

a technological breakthrough allows humans to establish language communication with dogs!.

in one of our conversations our dog tells us that their hearing is so acute they can hear sounds we don't even know are there.. we acknowledge that this is true.

cobaltcupcake

My cat says you're welcome for the centuries of pest control and that no creature that sleeps for 15 hours a day can possibly foment war.

Otherwise, very interesting post, Terry!

If you keep on the way you're going you're going to end up spending your life in prison.

shunning wrecks families

by bigmac in

thread started to avoid going off topic elsewhere.. this matter of shunning---my story.. i made the decision to resign from the jw religion in my early twenties--i'm 65 now.

i knew i would never deny any of mine a blood transfusion--just to appease this religion --and its deity.. my jw wife had just had our first child--a girl---and we went on over the next 7 years to have 2 more planned for kids---both boys.

i like to think i was a good dad--they meant everything to me.. i hold up my hand and admit i caused the break up of that marriage---my wife stayed in the religion--and--apparently it was announced in the kh i couldnt be d/f'd---as i hadnt been a jw for years---so they said i was an apostate.. fast forward a few years--into the mid 80's---i had remarried--and led a relatively normal life.

Gosh, what a sad story! All for a stupid cult! I have had no contact with my family either since I left 9 years ago. I have to check the SSI death records to see if my 83-year-old mother is still alive.
