I have to get this out.

I have a sister-in-law who things her shit don't stink. ( wonderful way to start this, huh? ... This will lead to a point though.)

My grandfather was an alcoholic, and my grandmother was a cigarette smoker. They were both great people. They taught me a lot of good important lessons in life, and some lessons that weren't so good.

Forget it..this isn't the proper place,nor the time. there is no point.

BigJim, If you don't mind me asking, where were you when you got busted by your wife?

BugEye, I'm sorry for being rude.

Think4, Every time I see your picture or read your posts, I just can't help smiling!

night ya'll,

i was just looking at this quote from another thread:.

"of what significance is this today?

it means that by the fall of 1963 mankind has dwelt upon this earth 5,988 years.

Good point, and good question. It must have been one of those things that not many noticed.

this is a question my df mother would like me to post for her:.

would it be morally right to go back to the jws, even though she doesn't feel it is god's org?

she would do this in order to speak with her life long friends and her youngest daughter, all of whom are quite emotionally distraught due to her dfing.

somebody

Friday,

I agree with Lisa and DB. If you want to start another thread to find what we believe, please do. I don't want to take away from the extremely hard decision lisaBObeesa and her mom have to make, nor turn it into some kind of war. Please continue to be polite, Friday.

Friday,

Somebody doesn't believe that the Apostle Paul was inspired, and so don't fully accept the Bible as being God's Word to Mankind.

WRONG! I am NOT A PAUL FOLLOWER. I try to follow JESUS and NOT PAUL. Therefore, when I say that I follow and try to imitate Jesus, I am not a liar. I DO NOT look to PAUL for SALVATION. SO...before you go telling people what I believe, please take the time to ask me first. I believe the Bible is God's word, and I put my faith in his Son as judge and the means of everlasting life,as the Bible says to.

THANK YOU!

lisaBobeesa and company,(mom)

In that case, I really think I would try and get reinstated, and take being called "spiritually weak", "imature christain", and all the the labels thrown on me for not going out in service for the WBTS, just for the sake of keeping my relationship with my duaghter. If you, Lisa's mom, still believe in God, then he/she knows what's in your heart. If you no longer believe in God, then it's no skin off your back for loving your daughter and doing everything in your power to keep her. As for the friends, no matter how many years they were my friends, and how close I was, I think I'd give them all up if I didn't have a child in it. For moral sake. I have not had friends for that many years, so maybe I'd feel differently if I did. But I gave up one friend that I had for 10 years over "it". And it was very hard. I wish you the best, and don't forget to take your time and take everybody's advice here, and kinda mix it all together! Call it a friendly heart shake. A little different from a chocolate shake, but actually better than one.

You're stuck between the rock and the hard place. I wish you all the best, and make the decision that YOU'LL be happy with, and can live with.

wishing the best to you and yours during this difficult time,

somebody...lisaBObeesa will help you through it!

Hi lisaBObessa (fee fi fo meesa...lisa. ...ok...I'll stop )

My opionion is that your mom would be giving up what she believes is morally right if she tried to get reinstated. When I try and put myself in her shoes, I would not give up what I thought was morally right, for friends. But having a daughter (or son) in it would be a tough decision for me. I'd give it time, and not make a hasty decision. Is her daughter cutting off the family ties right now because of the disfellowshipping of your mom? Does she still speak to her?

For all x-JW's: quick question.....

by Kathy in

jw
friends

if you remember, i've been inquiring about how to discuss jw issues with my boyfriend's sister.

it appears she is accepting the watchtower driven interpretations of the bible, but we are still not giving up.

if you are willing, would you respond, in a nutshell, to the question, "what is the doctrine or belief that the jw's hold that was most instrumental in leading you to abandon this religion?

somebody

Hi Kathy,

My breaking point was when I saw the doctine/teaching that we were Christians, but yet we followed none of Christ's teachings. We followed mostly the mosiac laws and pretended Jesus never was crusified for our sins. The fact that all I ever heard was Jehovah this, and Jehovah that, and then was taught to turn around and say that we were persecuted on account of Jesus' name prooved to be a crock of shit. I noticed little things such as the "society" would capitalize the word "Society", but yet use lower case letters when they referred to God's "holy spirit". Those little things were very obvious to me. Then I started to see that JWs could be handed over to satan for following the examples of Jesus, as set forth in the Bible. I left for the reason that I could not continue to try and serve two masters. I was going crazy trying to. The disfellowshipping practice bothered me greatly. I could see that it went against EVERYTHING that the gospel books of Jesus were about,as soylibri said. An incorperated business was self-appionting themselves the role of Christ. Except they were doing a real Pharisutical ( is that a word? If not, replace it with "shitty" ) job of it. And we were never "hated" on account of Jesus' name as Jehovah's Witnesses, as claimed.

peace,
somebody
