  I am sure you will figure this out. School is your priority, just focus on that.

  Im not sure what you are referrng to about non-witness moral standards- but college is a time for young people to try out new identities, behaviors, and lifestyles, styles. Dont judge people around you for doing so. Give yourself more room to explore who you are and who you can be. Stay safe but let yourself have some new experiences and spend time with other people. Try to focus on your commonalities, and dont be judgemental. (speaking from experience here) its best to lose your JW naivete as quick as you can. You will wise up, and that is a good thing.

  remember that JWs compare higher education to shooting yourself in the head. When you are there acing your exams high on knowledge remember there are 8 men in Brooklyn who would rather you were not getting an education, and ask yourself why that can be, given your experience.

  You dont have to go to anyones family worship night.

  And one more thing, honey- there is no SAFE IN

  its not safe in there. its a delusion.

  My mother passed away this morning...

  by Tatiana in

  2. friends

  for any old-school ex-jws here that remember my many posts about my abusive jw mother and my sister committing suicide because of it...she passed away this morning because she began to bleed out and refused a transfusion.

  she had been in the hospital for a month.

  it appears she suffered a stroke and wasn't found by the brothers & sisters for three days (they missed her at the meetings).

  to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!.

  this topic began on another thread of an unrelated topic (see http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/242671/7/believers-vs-atheists-why-this-formulation.

  in order to try and keep that thread from redirecting further, i am continuing some new thoughts brought up there here.

  NC lit this one up.

  I would add: Abraham and Isaac- its never too early for your dear Dad to hear divine voices telling him to offer you as a human sacrifice to his God, first you will just be out for a hike but you will get suspicious when he ties you up and starts piling firewood, and pulls out his machete.

  Kids, watch out!

  Death of Jesus..the best answer?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok. i'm not trying to take a stance here (well, i don't think i am.

  ), just pondering things.

  thinking out loud if you will.. i can no longer see why the death of jesus could be evidence of god's love or a sensible answer to humankind's suffering.

  Watchtower's greatest failure: the absence of IGNORANCE

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  knowing is good.. not knowing is bad.. knowing that you don't know leads to inquiry, research and education.

  that is good.. assuming you know the validity of your research material is bad.. sometimes you are stumped but you don't know that you are stumped.

  you proceed anyway.. .

  Not to derail, I do think this is a brilliant point, Terry- but James, imagine how much fun church would be if Jesus was black, gay and new!

  I see a disco ball dropping, and glitter spandex! Lets go!
