Active Elders who post on JWD

by Honesty in

does your conscience torment you knowing that you are misleading the flock of god as you continue teaching them the heresies of the watchtower society?.

why are you staying in the organization and posting here at the same time?.

do you really believe that you can help your families to reject the watchtower society while remaining an elder and visibly appearing to support their lies and false teachings?.

I think there are more metaphors for masturbation than almost any activity you can imagine. There's actually a whole book on them!

i think i just lost another man because of the 'sex within the confines of marriage' issue.. my sister said i should wait til i have them hooked before i make it clear where i stand.. doesn't seem quite honest to me......but....i'm wondering if i'm somehow sabotaging the relationship.. .

Seeker4

No sex and you don't gamble - bet that the "no sex" also means you don't drink (sort of a given!) - add that to the fact that you weren't physically attracted to the guy, didn't want to kiss, felt superior to him in any number of ways - WOW, you sound like a barrel of laughs to me! Sounds like a doomed relationship from the start.

You better be an awesome babe, if you're expecting some guy to get involved with you, but no sex until after he marries you. Good luck with that!

This is the reality - I can find any number of awesome babes to get involved with who WILL have sex with me, so why would I want to get involved with you when I could have a committed relationship with someone and enjoy sex with them? Very likely if you find a man not interested in having sex with you, but willing to take the time to really get to know you and wait til you get married before you have sex, this guy just might have some other serious issues!

My suggestion is that you take some times to seriously come to grips with what you've learned about the Witnesses before you get into any kind of a relationship. You may have some aspects of JW mentality that you might just want to shed.

Not to change this thread, but Gary1914, what kind of congregation has a judical hearing because a kid got caught masturbating?? NOT a DFing offense that I know of (the Bible is strangely completely silent about masturbation!), and therefore you cannot have a JC meeting on it.

Mutual masturbation is another story.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but if your congregation is holding JC meetings because someone got caught "shaking hands with the unemployed" a few times, they are way out of line. You ought to be overjoyed not to be doing JC meetings then!

but i've posted enough about that.. i have recovered and hope to be part of the board again.

Seeker4

Hey, Joelbear, I was just thinking of you the other day - honest!

Welcome back. If you're the one I remember, are you still out and proud of it? I hope things are going well for you.

You didn't try to rejoin the JWs again, did you??

Are YOU Being Brainwashed ? Public Talk MP3

by AlphaOmega in

are you being brainwashed ?.

that was the title of a "public talk" given by brian steinblock of brooklyn bethel(monroe cong) it is a post-2000 talk.

this talk was e-mailed to me by a jw, and can be downloaded from here:.

Seeker4

I loved this:
EQUIVELANCE - Unimportant things become important

If there is one group that makes huge issues out of unimportant things, it's the JWs!!

The list is mind boggling: beards, long hair on men, length of skirts, celebrating birthdays, holidays, throwing rice at weddings, toasts, not using heck or geez or darn, no oral sex, not saying bless you to a sneeze, not using religious symbols, not saying good luck, not standing for a national anthem, not saluting flags, on and on and on.

Yeah, the cult member finds it so hard to see that they are a cult member.

I have to say that I'm glad their are elders and MSs posting here. There is no one way to leave the Witnesses, and I don't judge anyone about this.

I hope we always have active JWs coming here to post while they fade.

BFD and Quandry,

Para's comments were tongue in cheek - sarcasm - and not meant to be taken literally!

OK, YOUR FAVORITE FOOD/COOKING SHOWS. Anthony Bourdain...

by Seeker4 in

yep, bourdain's no reservations tops my list of favorites.. why is it that shows on food and cooking, reality or otherwise, kick the ass of just about everything else on tv?

what do you expect with crap like america's got talent?

yeah, maybe it does, but not much of it's getting on that show!.

Seeker4

Rebirth, that's funny, but understandable. And I wonder how many guys in their 50s remain sex symbols??

I was doing a bunch of work around the house last night, and they ran a bunch of Bourdain's shows back to back, and I had them on while I was doing my stuff. What I noticed was his easy way with people no matter where he was.

Here's this master chef from some of the best restaurants in Manhattan, and he's totally at home eating with peasant farmers in an isolated barn in China. A very interesting way about him that is appealing, yes.

As a writer, I also like that he introduces himself on the show as a writer, and not as a chef.

PROOF that the GB lurk HERE ???

by AlphaOmega in

a while ago, i posted this thread.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/135699/1.ashx.

in which i said.... this is strange, i read that in 1995 they did away with the "generation" teaching, yet the official watchtower website still says this, over 12 years later !.

thus, all the features of the last days must take place within the lifetime of one generation, the generation of 1914. so some people who were alive in 1914 will still be alive when this system comes to its end.

Wednesday,

Of course rank and file JWs come here all the time - and most of them end up ex-JWs!!

I think the question is, do the bros at Bethel monitor this site.

They would be foolish not to, as some said, but foolish to have brothers coming here and breathing the dangerous winds of freedom of thought.
