  Help me with JW thought processing here. If the early Christians were commanded to let the Almighty's name be known, why didn't they call themselves Yahwehinians? Why did they take on the name of the inferior one? Could John 5:23 have more weight than the GB allows?

  My goodness it's hard to type long messages on a phone!

  I completely agree with Morpheus.

  In Christendom, there are no real social consequences egged on by the religious institutions.

  This child is making a commitment to fracturing her family should she or they choose to walk another path.

  In the interest of full disclosure, the baptismal vow SHOULD read, "We don't really have a clear understanding of what the H×%_! € God is telling us, but do you agree to forsake all family members who disagree with us anyways?"

  Your favourite dog breed ...?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. family

  in an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.

  huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.

  this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.

  What Is The Ideal Discussion Board For You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think these boards are great!

  it gives us the opportunity to express our feelings, our viewpoints, our concerns, etc.

  when we were jws we could not freely do any of that.

  Berrygerry...

  As I read it, my mouth fell further and further open. All I could think was... "do the ones I know and love really believe this happened?"

  It made me think of the infamous "Andre" JWNers talk about.

  Maybe this is Dan... or Angelo... (An exact "copy and paste" of an actual Facebook post)

  HOW WELL DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR DAILY TEXT?...
  consider these experience:
  A sister was reading her examining the scriptures one morning, unknown to her,she kept her door opened when she woked up that morning and went to ease herself then a thief sneaked into the house and hide under her bed,The sister began by singing a song from our song book..then the bible text for that day was ''LET THE STEALERS STEAL NO MORE BUT LET HIM DO HARD WORK...and it was supported with the bible portion that says NO THIEF NOR GREEDY PERSON WILL INHERIT GOD'S KINGDOM....after she finished she prayed and stood up from the palour leaving her bible on the table,when she came into the palour to her suprice..her bible was lost..the thief had stolen her bible...two years later the sister went to a district convention,to her greatest delight the man that was a thief has stolen her bible.sudy the bible and got baptised..then he brought the bible to the sister and told her these story...wow..the sister was so happy..Her lost bible won a soul...SO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO READ THE BIBLE,PRAY REGULARLY AND EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES DAILY

  Thanks Hidden-Window. How the heck did I miss that? I wonder if his parents were/are JWs.

  Be effective or people will die

  my husband and i have been out of the org for quite some time, but still find that old ideas and values come up and bite us on the ass.. lately, i've been plagued by an increase in the frequency and severity of my nightmares (which have always been an issue,) so i've begun to dream journal.

  in just a few days, this realization cropped up.

  i can't save people.. i've been blogging again recently.

  In my conversations with individuals in their 50's and 60's who were raised as JWs and left (w/o being baptised), they seem to have been adversely affected by the "fact" that the huge buildings they could see in the distance were going to be destroyed and all the non-jws were going to die. I have limited contact with JWs but the striking similarities of childhoods being affected by the fear of death that was going to befall non-JWs seems to be a common theme.

  I'm sure that my imagination of this type of childhood couldn't possibly create the physiological effects from which you suffer.

  I hate that you still suffer.
