  The Second Emergent Type of "Faders"

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was having an interesting conversation with another witness who's nearly faded away.

  he made an interesting point that corrected me and.

  touched my heart.. i wondered aloud if there was "any limit to how stupid the organization could collectively become".

  Hi Metatron:

  I agree with your comments or the brother's comments.

  The WTS' doctrines and ways are just not working anymore.

  Too many JWs realize they used precious years of their lives devoted to an organization that is not even blessed or directed by God. Instead of concentrating also on their finances (ie.: college, career choices) etc...............they devoted themselves with no financial back-up for the future.

  The WTS governing body members, etc. no longer have the spiritual, physical, and financial hold on their members as in the past.

  An elder told me that I can give blood here, but not there...

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few years ago, i was diagnosed with too much iron in my blood.

  most people lack iron, but i have too much.

  with time, this iron lodges in the body, and it's not good.. so, my doctor told me to give blood a few times a year and this problem would be solved.

  Hi JH:

  I would think that this would be one unique case where you could pursue and win a 'libel, slander', and defamation' civil lawsuit against them should they disfellowship you for trying to take care of your health.

  You could probably invoke the scripture they use so often- Rom 12:1: 'Consequently I entreat you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies a sacrifice living, holy, acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason'.

  You are trying to stay healthy to serve your God and community and their disfellowshiping you from the org because if this would be wrong.

  Blondie, anyone, please respond.

  fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

  well it seems that my first big mistake leaving the j-dubs was continuing to be trusting of others.

  i was trying to sell a fish tank on postaroo.com for $50.

  Some Unfortunate News due to the Collision

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was at the doctor today for over 6-hours to be tested on the issues resulting from the collision.

  it seems that there are some serious effects that have emerged, which is not uncommon to happen within a short time after a serious collision.

  i will describe them later on, as i am waiting for more test results to arrive.

  Say You're a Bethelite & Monitoring JWD - How Would You Feel About THESE??

  by Seeker4 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm talking about the new posters, like kitten whiskers, who started posting today (hope this works: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/120817/1.ashx).

  and it seems like we're getting a few like this nearly every day.

  people who were raised jws, really worry that they are doing the right thing in leaving, yet who have been made to feel not good enough by the wts, who felt they never measured up, who struggled with it, but came to realize that what they'd been brought up to believe was just not the truth.. the same stories are told over and over again, and they come from sincere, good people - not whiny, fault-finding apostates like the rest of us riffraff around here!

  Zarco:

  Just remember the account of the sons of Korah, Dathan, and Abirim.

  The sons of Korah, Dathan, and Abirm did not stand with their fathers when their fathers went against Jah.

  I am really sorry this happened.

  My husband and I take Jet Blue all the time when visiting our previous State of New York. I am really shocked at Jet Blue's actions and I hope this Raed Jarrar sues and gets a nice settlement.

  People are becoming extreme and too paranoid.....they are not using good sense or good judgement................it's getting out of hand.............

  What's Your Opinion Of Cops Making Roadblocks Just 2 See If Someone's Drunk

  I'm sorry, but there is no justice and being fair when a person drinks (one, two, three) etc and gets behind a wheel.

  The likelihood of an accident increases 100 fold and death or serious injury usually occurs.

  I have a no tolerance rule for drinking and driving. Do not do it. Period.

  If a person decides to drink and drive and in the process kills someone or causes injury, they need to be ready to suffer the consequences.

  They have been doing that in NY for a long time.

  It's worth it to save lives.

  I'm sick and tired of hearing about persons loosing their lives because of some uncaring drunk person who decided they could handle their liquor (when they really could not) and ends up drinking, driving, and killing someone (s).

  If you do not drink and drive, you should not have a problem with the roadblocks.

  Why can't the headline be "Paris Hilton dies in tragic diving accident!"

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am so sick of this woman, and her fame for simply being born into a rich family.

  i am just waiting for the day that we get to see her name in the obituary and not on the front of some magazine to say what a great thing she has done, when she found a lost dog.

  i actually like the movie, "house of wax", as it does allow you to see some damage done to this woman.

  I do not particulary care for Paris Hilton.

  I do not think she has any talent worth getting excited about. However, I would never wish such a 'headline' on anyone.
