  Religion Is A Trap And A Snare (they said it)

  by Big Jim in

  1. jw

  (some famous quotes on religion).

  a religion, that is, a true religion, must consist of ideas and facts both; not of ideas alone without facts, for then it would be mere philosophy; -- nor of facts alone without ideas, of which those facts are symbols, or out of which they arise, or upon which they are grounded: for then it would be mere history.. .

  there are three modes of bearing the ills of life, by indifference, by philosophy, and by religion.. .

  I Learned Something New!!!

  by NikL in

  well i did indeed learn something new from the public talk last sunday.

  while drifting in and out of consciousness, hoping for time to quickly pass, i picked up on a very important point.

  the words being spoken from the monotone bore machine at the podium had lulled me into a lethargic semi comatose state when all of a sudden one sentence cut through the fog like a hot knife cuts through butter.. he said "the moon is our closest planet".

  There is a movement to reclassify Pluto from a planet to a Kuiper object. Pluto is the smallest "planet" in the solar system, smaller then even our moon.

  Just thought I'd throw that in.

  Would you forgive the shunners?

  if after all the years of being shunned by family , friends , would you forgive or forget them and all the misery they handed you, or maybe let them think about it for somtime before you talked to them again.

  of course this can only happen freely if they left the org.

  Forgive them and move on. it's the only way that you can ever be whole again. Otherwise you will carry the hate and anger towards them inside and it will pollute your soul.

  Congradulations!!!!

  I agree 100% with Francoise. Get into a therapy program as soon as you can. You are going to have issues that you are going to need help dealing with.

  by natred in

  2. friends

  the writers of the simpsons must have had jw contacts.. think of ned flanders and his family, totally jw!!.

  think ofmr burns doesnt he look just like that evil elder who would always open the theocratic ministry school?.

  i am absolutely certain that fred hall is spitting image of mr burns, i can picture him so clearly in his grey raincoat and gold leaf dog eared bible walking hunchedup in the rain pestering people on a sunday afternoon.....

  Ozzie,

  That is an interesting question and one that you should post as a new topic.

  The witnesses don't say the Lord's Prayer feeling that it is just a template and they seem to make fun of those that do say it. However, prayer in the JW kingdom hall is just as scheduled, forced, formulaic, etc. If it lasts more then a couple of minutes, you notice that the R & F start to get ancy and shuffle around. God forbid it goes more then 5 minutes!!

  JW's & alternative medicine

  by slipnslidemaster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in one of the threads i read today, they were talking about looking into your eyeballs to diagnose cancer and the like.

  also selling herbs.. my comment and question is this: it seemed like in my congregation and the surrounding ones, alot of the sisters were into kineseology, reflexology, herbs, vitamins, color therapy, aroma therapy, etc.. alot of touchy feely hippie crap.

  while i personally agree that there needs to be more synergy with eastern and western medicines, it would appear reading the boards that alot of witnesses are into this sort of stuff.. is this your experience?

  It is my understanding that Asian medicine was considerably better then Western medicine for a certain period of time. They concentrated on mapping out the body and responses to outside stimuli for thousands of years without actually cutting open the bodys. When Western medicine started opening bodys and using the advances in technology to explore the body then they overtook the Asians in medicine.

  It is my personal opinion that a melding of Asian and Western medical techniques needs to happen to get a more balanced healthcare picture.

  Smurfs

  by Kismet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  by now most of us have heard the urban legends of smurfs vs. jw's.. such as smurf dolls walking down kingdom hall aisles or strangling jw babies (replaced dingos eating them in australia lol).. the initial problem jw's had with smurfs was that on the tv show they were conjuring up spells, later more ummm "enlightened" jw viewers started questioning a community of all males with only one female (smurfette).. so jw's felt that it was not appropriate for jw children to watch shows about magic.. it is this same reasoning that has scared some away more recently rom harry potter novels and pokemon.. it was stupid when it involved smurfs and is just as stupid now.

  .

  but there ya have it, the main reasons (if you can call them that...) that jw's hate smurfs and developed such wild stories to enforce their opinion.. kismet

  SanFranciscoJIM, you are a conspiracy nut! I love it! I totally wouldn't put it past them either. JW's are total gossip hounds so that type of thing would spread like wildfire.

  And of course with the smurf thing, it did.

  Is this your experience? Do you know anyone that is into this stuff? Why so many looking into these alternative treatments and the like if the end is right around the corner?

  Any thoughts?
