lucid...---I interpreted HBH message to be that you have to look at the BIG picture not just what the WTS feeds you. Learn..become informed....make your own decision...think for yourself....read the bible and interpret it yourself..don't just take anybody's word on anything....this includes the WTS and the scholars. You will find if you look around that we all don't agree on everything...but thats the beauty of it..we still all respect each other to disagree.....and share.

if everyone here , or nearly everyone here does not believe the jw's then why waste your time going onto these websites.

when everyone leaves the truth they automaticaly go to jw websites....why?

if you no longer believe it why waste your time?.

If you no longer believe it why waste your time?

Have you even looked at any of the threads here. I would say about 95% here that post are XJWs that need others to talk to so we all know that we aren't alone and that we did make the right decision. Look around and you will see that we aren't "wasting" our time.

Yoga Anyone?

by dobby in

i just read with interest an article entitled yoga - just an exercise or something more?

in the august 1, 2002 watchtower.. i know that growing up a witness i had always been told that yoga was related to spiritism and the occult.

however, with the popularity of yoga among the mainstream in recent years as a means to keep fit not as a means to find spiritual enlightment, i thought the society may have lightened up a bit.

Yoga postures are found everywhere....under the guise of a warm up, or gentle stretching.

Yes...we all know that everyone uses the corpse pose usually at least once a day (that is laying flat on your back)

I was always interested in yoga and wasnt allowed to even have the books in my room..as they might bring in the demons....yet my mother does accupressure and dabbles in the uses and combinations of herbs.....hypocritical..NAH just a dub way of thinking. Now yoga has increased my flexibility, health and confidence level...is that really so bad. According to the dubs, yes, because when people are feeling better and have self-confidence then they don't need evil cults.

How do YOU deal with it??

by bad_associashun in

hello all- recently joined, had some probs getting logged in, but here at last.... anyway, the question is: for those that can relate, when your heart feels heavy from the hurt, pain, regret, sorrow, bitterness, anger... and the lost years, stolen time, forsaken friends, broken relationships, wasted energies, abandonment, and lost love weighs on you --> caused by wt org.

stress.... how do you get past it?

what heals you, brings you relief, rescues you from total worthless feelings of inadequacy, comforts your wounds, keeps you from jumping on the train tracks?.

by LDH in

jw
friends

the km of november 1996 states:

"a failure to contribute enough to cover costs will ultimately restrict what the organization may otherwise be able to accomplish in furthering the worldwide work.

so wtf happened to their "rocks would cry out" theory?

SpiceItUp

restrict what the organization may otherwise be able to accomplish

Oh DARN!!!!!!

Here is my sad but true story!!!

by dissedsis in

i was born into a well off family in the wee year of 1979. my father was a water/oil well driller and worked days on end so i rarely ever got to see him.

by the time i was waking up in the mornings he was already at work and when he returned home at night i had already gone to bed, so most of my days where spent without him.

i had sister that was 14 years older than i was and she had severe brain damage and had to be placed in a state home when i was 18 months old, so i do not remember to much about home life with her, other than it was like we had a "big" baby at home with us.
