  Born Twice - Die Once .... Born Once - Die Twice

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jesus taught that we must die unto ourselves, and allow the holy spirit to take up residence within us.

  some people get saved by simply inviting jesus into their hearts, to be the lord of their life.

  this serves as a countering force within the born-again christian to counterbalance the will of the flesh, which is still unsaved in this life and destined for destruction in imitation of our lord himself.. attempting to live the christian life without having this spirit within you is a waste of time at the minimum, and dangerous on the downside.

  Orginal sin: Tree of knowledge of good and evil

  by dreddie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  telling and knowing the truth.. it is your job to tell and know the truth and not be decived by the lies of satan.. believing this, you need the knowledge of what is good and evil.

  because with the bible you believe you can know the truth.

  where there is no knowledge of the truth and good and evil.

  how was your wedding?

  did you have a jw wedding or something different?

  my wedding was not what either of us wanted at first, but it turned out very lovely.

  Mine was like a car crash. I cant remember any of it.

  However, we have just celebrated our 25 wedding anniversary. We are more connected than we have ever been. Just fortunate I think.

  And i`m reminded every day that I made the right decision to marry at 18. Totally blind, didn't know what I was doing. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

  Still, we have 3 fine daughters, a good life full of adventure, and common goals that bind us as a family together.

  I can honestly say, if we'd stayed "in", we would be divorced by now.

  Where did Jehovah go ?

  by Deleteandrestart in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for the many years i was mentally " in " the congregation, i equated the organisation as interchangeable with the persona of jehovah, in effect whatever the organisation said or thought, that was what jehovah thought and that was what jehovah said.... it was that simple.

  so when i found out the ttatt and the cynical moves of the organisation over the years,including 1975 , the donation arrangements, the united nations, etc i was devastated and thought " where's jehovah in all of this?".

  the god who i'd poured my heart out to on many occasions and who i thought was silently listening and hearing my pleas ..... was not there , .

  Were you beaten as a child?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been confronting my mother with her dubious parenting skills (abuse) of me as a child.

  particularly the beatings i would get with the wooden spoon.

  not a light smack but hitting me as hard as she could for as long as she could.

  Me and my brother got the cricket bat, yes thats correct, the cricket bat. A silver coloured Sondico full size. Anything that riled our step dad, that was it. We used to have bunk beds made of angle iron, he would make us bend over under the top one, then wack! Sore arse and bonse at the same time.

  I turned 13, my bro 18 months older. I smashed the kitchen window larking about, and my step dad came running after me with the bat. My bro grabbed it and beat the crap out of him. Never touched us after that

  Oh yeah, hes 69 now. And he works for me. Happy days.

  since i have left the watchtower's dung behind, reading and learning has accelerated at an unbelievable pace for me.

  i am sure that is true for most here.

  i have always been a big time reader.

  Evolution is a Fact #36 - Mass Extinctions

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  250 million years ago a plume of molten basalt gushed up from the earth's core.

  it erupted in an area now known as the siberian traps - back then it was part of the supercontinent pangaea.

  a curtain of lava a mile high and hundreds of miles long lit up the sky.

  Hi Hippie.

  So your concept of a creator is that he developed a system where he made certain lifeforms, and then allowed them to evolve into whatever we see today?

  Which means that he didn't really have much say or control of how lifeforms turned out.

  Which means then, that god is not in control of happenings in the world.

  Or is it just animal lifeforms he can't control, and he still has the destiny of this earth in his grip?

  Evolution is a Fact #34 - Hiccups and Tadpoles

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hiccups are a weird phenomena.

  they are a combination of two involuntary actions - firstly a rapid inhalation of breath followed 35 milliseconds later by the glottis at the back of the throat suddenly closing off our airway.. our normal breathing is controlled by a "central pattern generator" in a small region of the brain stem close to the boundary with the spinal cord.

  a signal is sent along the vagus and phrenic nerves resulting in a rhythmic contraction of muscles in chest, diaphragm and throat.. these nerves branch off right at the top of the spinal cord and follow a convoluted path through the chest cavity.
