Animals demonized

by free2beme in

just wondering, do christians feel animals can be demonized?

i wonder, as i have some questions about demonized.

does the demon become the person, and send the person packing to some sort of waiting room?

What about insects? I'm convinced cockroaches are little demons! I hate those damn things! Can you imagine a herd of roaches with demons inside? Holy Crap man! Can you imagine the horror they would do? I can, and I dont like it. Not one bit! Good night...

a friend of mine i'm in lust with, has been trying to convert / recruit me.

she's been very pleasant with me and very patient with me.

she hasn't been very pushy which i appreciate.. she's even said that if at anytime i'm getting smothered or feel this religion isn't my thing, to say so and she will stop asking about it.

Iamallcool Thank you, I may do that. But I may start talking in a high pitched voice. That wouldn't turn anyone on.

Honeybucket I like that idea about pyramidology. If they mention it in this dvd set, I will definitely bring this up. Even if they don't I will still bring this up.

dazed but not confused I like your thinking. lol I think you may be right about her wanting someone to pull her out. She's said she's left the Org. once before and her life was a mess when she did. So she went back in wanting to do it G*d's way. I respect her for it of course, just wish I was around when she had left it before. = (

prologos That's what concerns me and why I'm confused. Giving me big hugs one minute, then doing her best to recruit then next. So frustrating it makes me want to punch a baby monkey!!

zed is dead Something is telling me to stick around and continue on this footing for as long as I can. Been praying about this allot. Even praying to Thor himself! Kidding..! I just need to let this play out. I've accepted this may go nowhere, but I want to see this to the end. Because I'm learning allot with this, and she may also learn a lesson.

A friend of mine I'm in lust with, has been trying to convert / recruit me. She's been very pleasant with me and very patient with me. She hasn't been very pushy which I appreciate.

She's even said that if at anytime I'm getting smothered or feel this religion isn't my thing, to say so and she will stop asking about it. But I get the impression once I say "it's not for me," she will bolt.

I've been asking question's that are what I would consider question's that would get her to think about some things on her own. Question's that would hopefully get her to rethink certain beliefs. But I know that's wishful thinking.

Tonight, she came "alone" to my home, which I thought was a no-no for a single JW woman, and gave me 3 DVDs.

1 ) Jehovah's Witness FAITH IN ACTION Part 1: Out of Darkness

2 ) Jehovah's Witness FAITH IN ACTION Part 2: Let the Light Shine

3 ) Jehovah's Witnesses Organized to share the Good News.

I've not watched them yet, but feel I owe her that much. Or do I ? I'm grounded in my beliefs and faith, and have also learned so much here from all of you.

I guess my question to you all is... Is there anything I could say that would make her think or question this religion? Or better stated; what are or were some major thing's within this faith that made some of you realize this wasn't for you?

I'm just confused... And don't want to loose what little we have. But have also accepted that this is all just wishful thinking that she will come out of this mind set.

Any advice? Tips? And please, feel free to slap me in the face as this could be helpful too.

Thanks..

Question about this site

by free2beme in

i have come to this site for almost a decade.

even though i do not stop by much anymore, i wonder why it has not been upgraded or changed to a more modern format.

it seems like it has basically just been left to what it was upgraded to several years ago.

Do you take donations? As far as funds to help with new software or anything? Honestly I would donate. Truly an invaluable source of info here.

Dating a JW info

by Lady Lee in

other than telling a person to run:what do you think a person (who knows nothing about the jws) needs to know if they are getting involved with a jw.what would be helpful to them to end things before they get further involved?what will help them if they decide to go further and marry this jw?what challenges would a non-jw woman have if she gets involved with the jw man?what about having children and the struggles that will develop from that?.

if you think of anything else that would be halpful please add it to the thread.

i would like to have a lot of this info in one thread besides some of the great "dating a jw" threads we already have in the best of section.

Wonka

Was he trying to act or sound like a black rapper type guy? or did he have a hideous accent? Honestly couldn't tell and was hard to understand what he was sayin.

i think with every year their are more and more newbies that identify with this site , would you like to say " hi ", if you have joined in the last 12 months ?.

does anybody have a graph of the numbers of newbies who have joined in say the last 5 years ?.

i think that would be interesting.
