the "perfect storm" built up to an epic verbal battle between me and my jw hubby.
there's nothing like a pitched battle to bring out my best zingers so i thought i would share some of them here.
by the way, hubby and are fine.
its interesting that you can see the man inside the cult suit.
I agree, at times like this you need support and that is the primary concern. I think JWs dont even understand how sanctimonious they sound passing judgement on everyone around them- the living, the dead, the dying.
Since JWs do feel this way about the educated class I suggest they carry cards denying all medical care by materistic educated ones with empty lives called doctors. and lawyers. dentists. accountants.
can someone explain to me the purpose of printing 3 different versions of the watchtower.
in my day there was one.
who are they meant for..
Wowee.
Dont the new people get a little suspicious.
At what point do you get the real deal.

On this page there is a study version, a simplified version, and another version.
i have never understood why, according to the wt, jws are okay (conscience matter) with birth control methods like the pill, mini-pill, depo-provera, and iuds.
i am not trying to spark an abortion debate.
but i was actually angry at the wt when i started researching how the mini-pill prevented pregnancy.
I find this conversation appalling.
What problem do you have with the pill.
Go to your local Planned Parenthood- they do more than abortions- and get some real medical advice.

i was wondering about this because i have been telling people i left the organization because of all the anti-christian teachings and revelations of late, such as:.
hypocritically joining the united nations even though they teach that all supporters of the u.n. will be destroyed;harboring child abusers ps.
50:16-18going beyond what is written by forbidding higher education even though such knowledge results in better use of the brains god gave uspromoting the worship of the governing body over god and christ even though that is idolatrysustained hitlerian opposition to gays in the congregation, something christ never taught, and the list goes on .... now, after reviewing the teachings from the time of russell and rutherford in the early 1900s such as the use of the cross, the celebration of holidays, helping the war effort, the mystic use of pyramids, all things that the organization now condemns, i wonder, did the witnesses ever have the so-called truth?
this is greek to me.
i am writing this because i am so upset about the bickering and fighting that is going on about oompa.
this was an amazing wonderful, peaceful, giving man who never met a strager who is now deceased and you are taking his name and running all over the place with it using it for your own agendas.
he is not a statistic.
did you ever get the feeling some are really excited to see the world destroyed- going so far as to imagine, gleefully, certain buildings crashing and crumbling down.
of course this imagery is all over the magazines but i noticed some interalize it to the point of going around imagining their whole town in ruins, and then being delighted with the image, feeling righteous etc.
was there ever a building you imagined coming down- or can anyone speak to this peculiar feeling some exhibit where they are getting a real kick out of the impending destruction..
haha. Those poor chestnuts. Castanea has really suffered. There are a few in my area which are still healthy, somehow, but all the recent plantings- people still try- have basically shriveled in sadness. They have amazing flowers, though.
well if someone came to you saying they were going to sacrifice one of thier children to god because god spoke to them telling them to do so what would you conclude?
would you tell him to be faithfull to the voice and do it so they can become god's friend like abraham was?.

Frankie, darling, this archetype stuff only goes so far.
Give it a rest!
Mental illness is not divine, divinity isnt a psychological journey.
My regards to Joseph Campell, Carl Jung et al but goodness!
Theirs a difference between heroic mythologies, biblical blood, and mental illness.
i just recently learned that in hebrew, zedek also means jupiter.
when did this happen is unknown.
and possibibly that the planet jupiter was responsible for some catastrophes and things happening on earth during that time.
