  if most of you were jw's at one time, am i right in assuming that most of you are uneducated?

  anyone here actually have a degree of some sort?

  Utopian Reformist said, "The only real euphoria is constant education!" - There is some evidence that the sensation one has during discovery or epiphany, the Eureka! emotion, is caused by chemicals similar to endorphins and is actually the body/brain's way of rewarding and reinforcing the good behavior of original thought.

  last year i retrieved my star wars collection from my dad's house.

  i was a star wars freak since i was 6 years old and i first saw the film.

  many of the origional old figures were missing and i wondered if they had just been lost over the years.

  Dude, Tdogg, that sucks. My mom threw out my lightsabres, and her pio friend told her she ought to get rid of my demon-possessed little Yoda. I kept him safe, however, and reasoned with her, much to that evil pioneer's sniveling slavering witchery.

  Another Watchtower Deception

  by bajarama in

  i imagine most on this board have already read about this issue.

  below is a excerpt from the 95' awake.

  what i gather from it is the watchtower makes it sound like they foretold the return of the united nations in 1942, three years before it took place in 1945.

  They're also constantly dubbing each other, and eventually sound like the old worn fuzzy tapes that you throw out. They dub on less than professional equipment, to be sure.

  saved at a Promise Keepers convention

  my husband and i have a friend who credits the lord with every good thing that happens in his life.

  he is really a nice guy, unmarried, no kids and is now in remission from non hodgkins lymphoma (again, credit to the lord).

  what do you think about people who credit the lord for every good thing that happens to them?

  It seems that most thinking Americans know to say "God bless this and that" because by invoking the name of God, they invoke the righteousness that goes along with it, and by associating the nation with God, they osmose the divine authorization that will be required to bring infinite justice, er, enduring peace to the planet.

  It would be logical to disassociate our or any nation from any divinity whatsoever, but then there goes the moral justification to strike back with righteousness, for both east and west. To strike back without God and divinity on one's side would result, and would only be interpreted as, retaliation. Nobody likes that word in this day and age, particularly pop psychology and new age thinkers, who associate retaliation or martial punishment of any form with "stooping to your enemy's level".

  How Do OLD AGE JWs Feel?

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just want to know if jws that have been in the "truth" all their lives, having given all for the "kingdom" die in peace or whether in the autumn and winters of their lives, they are stung by nagging intrusive thoughts... "i have given my whole life to this organisation and where is the new system?".

  i ask because these people were taught they were in "the last days" when they grew up many decades or even a century ago.

  how can someone go that long believeing it was going to be tommorrow?

  Even if they're cognizant that they pissed their life away, they still have the assurance and cushion of many younger generations who look up to them in varying degrees. There's always social relevance and validity up until they can't drive, and then somewhat afterwards if they were careful in their days to cultivate a reputation for being a fun or intriguing character.

  Doh. I am a retard of the highest order, and I hate rushed readings. The principle remains the same, although it would be understandibly more difficult to inform the good Georgians of the tactic, even provided their government has a similar statute.

  I swallowed my humble pie and wrote a letter to my dad. I framed it as an FYI. I won't stoop to persuading him. If he gets it, he gets it. Doesn't, doesn't.

  63 year old xJW tells her story..................

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  'i have never saluted the flag, and i am 63 years old'.

  a former jehovah's witness has lingering effects from a faith that does not allow followers to pledge allegiance to a country, vote or serve in the military.

  Demonized Wall Paper!

  by D wiltshire in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  years ago i studied with a couple, that told me of an elder that studied with them years before.. they were having marital discord at the time and this elder was famous for finding demon posessed objects.. so this elder while conducting his study and talking about their marital problems asked them if perhaps they may have inadvertently brought home a demon posessed object, and that this was the cause of their domestic problems.. well they went through their whole apartment with this elder to see if they could find anything, but were unsucessfull.

  finally when in the kitchen the elder said he felt strange and that something in the kitchen must be causing it, they looked and looked but nothing.. but when the elder touched the walls of the kitchen, he felt the presents of something there on the walls that could be the causing of their problems.

  so they dung into the wall of the kitchen and found that it was painted over a couple layers of old wall paper.. guess what was one of the pictures they found on one of the layers of wall paper?.

  hm.

  Give the JWs this inch, and they'll take a mile. It might be time here to distribute the maturity of the DNC principle, so these Georgia types, bless their southern-fried soul, don't have to tax themselves to come up with a non-violent solution that plays into the JW perpetual motion machine.

  That women and kids thing alone is going to cause so many uninvited violin concertos at the homes of "weak" and inactive types...
