in stephen letts annual meeting talk he spent about 15min.
talking about how the garden of eden compares to our spiritual paradise that we are currently inhabiting.
he didn't mention the earthly paradise until the very last sentence.
This is nothing new and no not a change.
This is so people feel great about the present. Wow look how great we have it, we are in a spiritual paradise, jehover is so good to us.
It is something to help bolster the 104 years and counting of Kingdom rule, not a set up to a change.
a rabble-rouser called james goddard and a crowd of pro-brexit people called anna soubry 'nazi' recently.. the same crowd also called owen jones a few names.. i don't know these people but they seem to be unsavory people - they were certainly not behaving themselves.. the met police are looking into the matter, to see if the crowd did anything illegal.
a journalist asked the police officer if calling someone 'nazi' is illegal.
the officer said 'that's what we're looking into'.. first, this crowd behaved badly, no question.. what i find fascinating, though, is the speed of response from authorities.. calling people fascist or nazi has been going on for decades.
It should only be illegal if we lived in a dictatorship.
There is a big difference in things being not nice to say, or offensive, and a criminal offence.
when i first seen this website i actually thought it was a jw website hence the home page and not an ex jw website and i posted a topic thinking people were real witnesses then i quickly discovered it was not and all these people were commenting and embarrassing me and i couldn’t even delete the thread.
then i asked the admin to delete it and i said it was very misleading saying it’s a jw page and he’s like are you serious i deleted your topic and now you are attacking me and it clearly says ex jw page.
he was very rude and btw no where does it say ex jw and you should be able to delete your own threads you start.
... unlike the rest of humanity, you looked forward to mondays because it was a day off from a meeting..
You think Oral and Anal sex is a sin even though you DESPERATELY want them!
... unlike the rest of humanity, you looked forward to mondays because it was a day off from a meeting..
If you put off having kids to pioneer until you were in your late 30s and now regret the not having the family you really wanted.
so i moved out of my small town into the big city and staying with an older sister i’ve been having some fun in the big city wink wink.
but i have a good standing with the congregation in the city they are nice but don’t really pay a lot of attention to me.
i have been dating a “worldly guy” who is amazing love him but the older sister said he wasn’t allowed in the house.
Date who you want, have sex with who you want, love who you want, dont let people RULE your life.
Just be safe.
sorry for my poor english, i hope to make not too many mistakes.
im a jw and in the last three years i have studied a lot the topic of the earth being flat.
i have a good scientific background so im not stupid or crazy.
I have a good scientific background
YOU have NO scientific background if you have studied A Flat Earth.
But please find the edge and jump off.
i am trying to find the ridiculous beliefs jw had on the use of a binky or pacifier.
i did a search, but can't find it, i know others have referenced it on here.
i'm trying to share with my husband; we're talking about the stupid doctrines they came up with in the early years.. thanks!.
I know my wife was told over and over and over that my Manhood could not be used as a binki. So started many years of bad sex.
will it be the complete and utter mismanagement of child abuse issues due to a total disregard for children and not wanting to bringing reproach upon corporate jehovah's name?.
or will it be some other thing?
i strongly think the governing body's days as g. o. d. are numbered due to their complete incompetence to rule a corporation, brought on by a big and getting bigger shadow, and a persistent denial of anything negative about their corporation's claims to be god's earthly organization.
Their eventual Death.
i always get curious when someone posts an article from the wt.
so i end up going there to look around at the whole article and find other things that are curiouser and couriouser.. certainly, god’s thinking is superior to that of today’s world.
living by his thoughts will bring us the greatest happiness and success.
But Jehovah will not force his thinking on us. “The faithful and discreet slave” does not exercise control over the thoughts of individuals, and neither do the elders.
Not they just hold a gun to our heads and say, well do what you want but...
Some movies and books promote the “me first” and “family first” philosophies, making them seem reasonable, appealing, even right.
Our movies promote a GIVE me every last penny and hour you got until you life is a complete waste.
