Without putting any good/bad attributes to mentally masturbating, and just looking at one of the after-effects, mental exhaustion, you can catch my meaning. I do not want to be mentally exhausted when I visit with my girlfriend, so I tend to not mentally masturbat often when I plan on seeing her. It would be unfair to her if I were too tired to share in mental stimulation with her, because I mentally masturbated all day long without her. Thats part of our relationship, this mental stimulation.

In no way did i try to imply it was bad to mentally masturbate, just was pointing out the reason why I don't do it too often.

Sorry for the misunderstanding :)

I try not to mentally masturbate too often. I don't want to be mentally exhausted when my girlfriend wants to think with me. Sometimes its useful to mentally masturbate a couple hours before we see each other so my mind doesn't wander all over the place. I can sit and relax with her. Its all about balance.

Wake up (wake up)

Listen to them, the'll wake you up.

So what is mental masturbation? Stimulating your own mind?

what's your favority JW reference from a movie or TV ?

mine is from friday, the movie with ice cube, where a couple of jw ladies wake up ice cube's character's family one morning and there's some mouthing off, and you wouldn't believe the nasty words coming out of these sweet looking old "sisters".

hilarious!.

The movie Clue had one at one of the endings. The FBI dective comes to the door dressed in a cheap suit (but he has a beard) shouting about armageddon, holding magazines.

Another reference from the simpsons that I liked is where marge was bored and she talked the dub's ears off and they escaped from her while she turned her back on them.

I seriously doubt that people will turn to this religion after seeing these kind of scenes.

Please Help me with Answers to my Questions.....

by nemo in

since joining the board and doing research, i have found out so many things about the organization and feel no longer compelled to preach or go to meetings.

my friends are not taking me missing meetings well, things are not going to be fun.

but this is my decision and i plan to fade away, because of this decision it leaves me with so many unanswered questions...... which bible is viewed as the most accurate?.

truthseeker1

Which Bible is viewed as the most accurate?

Depends on which religion you ask.

Do we all go to heaven, is there a hell?

Also dependant on which religion you ask, and which bible you read.

What about the resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous?

See above.

1000 years?

See above also.

In short, all these questions don't have a definate answer. Thats what its like outside of JWdum. Inside JWdum, there is always black and white, right and wrong, truth and falsehood. And they define everything for you. But once you are outside, its up to your faith (if you have any) to decide which bible/religion/beliefs are right for you. Thats the burden/glory of not having someone tell you what to think and believe.

hey everybody! i'm not a christian anymore and i'm so happy about that lol

by Fleur in

okay, this is interesting to me.. first a little bit of background on me, i was introduced to jw-ism as a zygote, raised in and baptized at the tender age of 12. i got baptized because my beloved grandfather had just passed away and i was told that if i wasn't baptized i wouldn't get to the new order and i wouldn't ever see him again.

no pressure or anything.... i really truly believed everything for the first two decades of my life.

really started doubting at 25, left at 26 (they df'd me even though i disassociated myself in a letter to the elders first).

Welcome to the club! I'm also a non-christian. I'm more on the athiest side of the whole belief in god.

On a similar note, I was talking to my mom the other day about religion. (She is catholic). In her opinion, being a christian doesn't really have anything to do with religion. To her its a way of living, basically treating others the way you want to be treated. Thats how I was raised and thats how I behave. So to her, i suppose I'm christian, even though I don't believe in christ or god for that matter. Does that make me a bad person, nahh. Would I call myself christain? Nahh, but she would, just because i'm a good human being.

Thanks for listening to me :)

What effect did, being called "Brother or Sister" have on you?

by JH in

jw
friends

i remember a month ago, receiving a slip at my door, saying that the memorial is this coming sunday, and it was signed by an elder, saying "your brother" elder so and so.

it was as if he and i were at the same level by writting "your brother".

the first reaction i had, seeing "your brother", acted as if we had a special bond, with a responsibility attached to it.. do you think that being called "brother or sister" is a way of manipulating you, a way of getting more out of you?

truthseeker1

It always reminded me of "Hulk Hogan" always saying brother. Makes me laugh inside
