  i'd like you all to tell me 2 or 3 things:.

  1- were you raised a witness or not?.

  2-if you were, was your family very "theocratic" or not so much?.

  this year, i have the christmas tree decorated and all the windows filled with lights.

  it is a truly spectacular display, with every sort of light bulb, tinsel garland, and ornaments on hand.

  i also have christmas music going in my computer.

  My mom and dad were married on Christmas day back in 1932. I can't remember them celebrating an anniversary though. We always went to my mom's family the day after Christmas and we usually got a present from my grandparents who were not-JWs. Makes me sad thinking about all those good years with my parents.

  what is supposedly resurrected at resurrection?

  by iblowmynoseatyou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is an idea that really freaked me out when i was still "in".

  i asked it several times in groups of friends, and i would get two reactions: confusion/not understanding, and silence/looking at the ground.

  if you die, and your body disinegrates, and the soul doesnt live on; in fact, nothing lives on, then what is resurrected?

  Eclipse,

  I don't recall anyone being brought back from the dead that was already decomposed. It would make sense that by miracle, the cells could be regenerated back into life...(Heroes is a good show to illustrate regeneration)....

  What about Matt. 27:52,53?

  They came out of the tombs and went into the city, those faithful men of old. You would think it would have been mentioned again by some bible writer. What do you think of that scripture?

They are having a dinner this afternoon at the fellowship hall, and I like to eat so I guess I will go to that too. I enjoy being with my wife also and she doesn't mind if I don't believe all the stuff they do. Enjoy your day.

  The evolution of religion

  by nvrgnbk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  o. this article is, to a certain extent, thinking out loud and wild speculation.

  god, memes and genesreligion, in various forms, is to be found all over the planet.

  wherever there are people who think that there is some reason or purpose behind events, life, death and so on, there will be some sort of religion.

  The basic question of where did life and matter come from can't be answered by science. Neither can religion prove it's answers. As long as religion doesn't have a strangle hold on you and isn't controlled by some nut, I don't think it is too bad, but like politics or government it can lead you to distruction if it goes astray.

  Nvr, that was interesting to read and give it some thought. I like your post.

The rest looked so much older than me. I'm not bragging, it just surprised me. I'm so lucky to have survived like I have. I wished I had taken my camera. Only a few have died, I guess we were healthy back then.

  My brother and his wife was D'fed for decorating for Christmas. His wife did the decorating and he didn't stop her, so they D'fed both of them. He said he would rather have his wife than the borg. He felt guilty until I let him read C of C, then he was OK with it. We have been closer since his being D'fed than we ever were as JWs. I'm still not D'fed but have been faded for 30 years. My worldly wife and I decorate for Christmas but no one has said anything to me about.

  I don't deny there is a God. I just don't understand his remoteness to humanity, especially me. His book doesn't seem to give me what I need to understand him. It seems to change from time to time, depending on the social structure of the time. You kill sometimes, love sometimes, give sometimes, take away sometimes, have several wives, only one, screw your dead brothers wife, lie like Abraham about Sarah being his wife, or tell the truth, have kids with your daughters, and it goes on and on.

  Rake leaves before I rest? Untill my wife finds me dead in a pile of leaves? Untill I just get wet with sweat? Untill I give my heart a good workout?

  I was having my heart miss a beat several years ago. My doctor gave me a stress test on a walking machine and when I finished it never did it again, so maybe my heart needs some stress now and then. Anyway at 72 I quess I should be glad I can rake leaves as long as I do.
