  It's My Birthday Today

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  today is my 34th birthday.

  or, my 3rd birthday that i've actually acknowledged seeing as i was raised in the cult.. i woke up this morning to my 4yo running into my room and wishing me a "happy birthday daddy!".

  i got a card from my ex-jw brother and i bought myself a birthday gift - a new 50mm lens for my nikon camera (photography is a hobby i took up since leaving the cult).. i dont know about you guys, but birthdays is still something i have to make a conscious effort to acknowledge and enjoy.

  mostly we read about the regular holidays in the western world.

  now the other ones are also named, because some witnesses could be in doubt .

  Remembrance Day

  by label licker in

  thinking back on how we were not suppose to get involved in honoring the dead yet the entire bible is based on dead people, what they have done whether good or bad and lessons we could learn from them and honoring them.

  i remember being told that we are not suppose to go boasting before men on what we do, not letting the right hand know what the left hand is doing yet all those people in the bible had their entire lives written down before us to be remembered.

  even the widow with the two coins.

  Animals

  by unsure in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if humans have to suffer to have free will and to disprove satan's challenge to god as mentioned in the bible...then why the f*ck do animals have to suffer as well?

  .

  satan's challenge involved humans and not poor animals.. i'm looking for an honest explanation from believers.. at this point, the older i get, the less i believe in a god who is "love"..

  What was the last thing you said to your jw family?

  by caves in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  7 years ago i had my last conversation with the toxic jw that mostly raised me.

  every conversation was toxic for my entire adult life with her.

  the last time we spoke was right before the memorial 7 years ago and she was laying on the usual heavy guilt and fear mongering about how jeho counts his people at the memorial.

  GcMAF - cure or major treatment for autoimmune disease, cancer, autism, etc, and being suppressed or hype?

  by Bad_Wolf in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  since most people in this group have been taught how to research and fact check with our jw history and getting out, this is a topic that can be constructive to check out.

  i stumbled upon this and spent some time researching it, and it's quite interesting.

  it's part of your immune system, gcmaf.

  Wacky Baccy Eh! Cannabis Now Legal in Canada

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  so canada has legalized pot / marijuana / cannabis and you can go to stores today and buy some.

  the local news is covering it here in calgary with crowds of thousands expected at one of only 2 stores licensed in the city but last i saw, there were only 7 people in the line so who knows how popular it will be.

  i imagine all the people who really wanted to get it could already get it easily so this is more about expanding the market to new users who will be less inclined to queue for hours on day 1.. apparently you'll also be able to purchase online with discreet delivery by canada post.

  every country has a leader that pushes their agenda.

  are you satisfied with your leader’s goals?

  if you are dissatisfied, would you ever think about leaving your country?

  Russia=King of the North, USA=King of the South? New info coming in from Annual Meeting 2018

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.

  for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.

  very interesting times!
