sandra melgar guilty of killing husband, faking home invasion on houston couple's anniversary night.
It says something about your belief system when being so desperate to be rid of your spouse compels you to decide that murder is the better option over divorce.
Makes you wonder how horrible her marriage was, truly.
"she was motivated by a $500,000 life insurance policy"
Of course, she was...
on my way into town from my office.
two carts set up a few feet from each other.
one manned by a man and woman (i assume they're a couple) in their late 30s.. the guys walks off to the other cart as im walking by, i wasn't going to approach but the woman holding the awake!
Hello!! She didn't interrupt him....
Thankfully the man came back and interrupted
and it truly is a prick who complains about being interrupted, after he interrupted in the first place!!
on sunday morning in the watchtower study, a "study" who was their for the 1st time put his hand up and said; "i have a question.
when the paragraph says give up everything, it doesn't really mean give up everything like the pearl merchant, does it, like be willing to lose my modest house, cheap car and other basics i own?
i mean, that sounds a bit much".. the watchtower conductor said in response; "no, it's just a parable and it doesn't mean give up everything.
Considering the example set by the members of the Slippery Seven Governing Body™ at WT HQ, who have, after all, taken a vow of "poverty", I would say the Bible™/Jesus™ didn't mean what he meant. ;)
i was recently told this by a jw family member when trying to get through to them.
does this quote indicate that maybe such ones have considered that the jw's may not have the truth after all?
or is that just my wishful thinking?
That's what people with Stockholm Syndrome say too.
i have been dating my boyfriend for almost a year now.
when i met him i had no idea that he was a jehovah witness.
we took a vacation and he lied to his parents about who he was with, and they ended up finding out not only that he way lying, but who i was.
I can understand your not wanting to be 'the girl who made him leave The Truth™.' As your relationship moves forward, please be aware that there can be times when he will be enticed to return, such as when you decide to start a family - unless he is well and truly OUT, he may feel that his children's lives depend on him going back, and taking the children to JW events so that they can have a relationship with his JW family.
Think about this too: He was willing to sneak around behind his parents' backs for a year before they even knew you existed. While it really can be impossible to be completely honest with JWs (because they judge your decisions and try to make your life miserable), it's really important that you get him to understand that you don't want those kinds of secrets in your relationship with him. He's developed a habit over the last year of lying to some of his closest family members and friends, and I would hate to see it carry on with you at some later point in your relationship with him.
new system, brother, sister , kingdom hall, wordly person, in the truth .
there is a whole jw language that has to be deprogrammed..
Whenever I use JW jargon here, I always use a little ™ after the word or phrase to indicate that it is JW jargon.
Amongst exJWs, the jargon has a definition that is different (even ever so slightly) from normal everyday usage. We all understand it and the subtle nuances.
Non-JWs might not quite get the gist of the jargon, but the ™ is a little reminder to them that it is jargon and not normal everyday language.
The only word I never ascribe to JWs any longer is "truth", hence the use of Truth™.
humor plays a big part in a lot of humanity and we all like a good laugh but as far as i'm aware god's supposed word has no actual humor ,of course apart from being a joke itself ,why wasn't there a passage or something like "jesus farted and giggles broke out among them " or something, is anyone aware of any notations of humor ?
all to.serious really.
The story of Saul going into a cave to "ease nature" ("relieve himself" in the current NWT), and David, egged on by his men to take the opportunity to kill Saul while he is taking a $h!t, decides to prank him instead, by lopping off the edges of Saul's sleeveless coat.
1 Samuel 24:2-5
So Saul took 3,000 men chosen from all Israel and went to look for David and his men on the rocky cliffs of the mountain goats. 3 Saul came to the stone sheepfolds along the road, where there was a cave, and he went in to relieve himself* while David and his men were sitting in the recesses at the back of the cave.+ 4 David’s men said to him: “This is the day on which Jehovah is saying to you, ‘Look! I am giving your enemy into your hand,+ and you can do to him whatever seems good to you.’” So David rose up and quietly cut off the edge of Saul’s sleeveless coat.
i've noticed a few of my local grocery stores are stocking a. vogel homeopathy products.
a. vogel is a company ran primarily by jehovah's witnesses, the "brains" behind the operation, alfred vogel, has since died but he claimed to be one of the anointed.
the bolle family (co-founders of the company) is a well-known, (now very wealthy) family in the netherlands and there have been significant "contributions" in the past from the company to the watchtower organization.. alfred vogel was a well-known conman, he claimed blood transfusions would change someone's personality, he claimed to have studied native american herbal healing methods... from a native american tourist photo-op actor.
In a medical emergency, if someone said "Call the naturopath!!" instead of "Call 9-1-1!!" I'd say they'd get the outcome they deserve.
so as of july 2nd my wife delivered by c-section our little one pound, three ounce daughter izabella.
it was a very scary night that started with a decel and turned into multiple decels that greatly concerned the doctors.
by early morning they felt the need to take her for her safety.
I miss working with the tiny ones like Izabella... so precious.
Although the next several weeks will be busier than you can imagine, try to cherish the moments with her as much as you can. It won't be long until she's at 35 weeks or so, and then you could be able to bring her home...
Congratulations!
is there a way to have a jw who will not leave someone alone spammed with anti-cult information and anti-jw information?
.
Two words:
Restraining order.
