  I hate it when they say junk like this.

  13 If circumstances are extreme, then, separation may be warranted. But flimsy pretexts obviously should not be used to obtain a separation. Any Christians who do separate must bear personal responsibility for that action and should realize that all of us will render an account to Jehovah.-Hebrews 4:13.

  Like god will be mad that you didn't want to die from a beating. Why don't they just say physical abuse is wrong and if its severe god understands. Don't feel guilty. Protect yourself. jeez. First the person is hurt mentally by an abusive spouse and the beatings, then they have to worry about god being mad at them. Thanks WT.

  now in no way am i trying to discredit anyones beliefs or make fun, but once you get to heaven what is the plan once you get there.. of course, we always overlay extremely physical things upon the experience of heaven... milk and honey... ruiling over the earth etc... truthful the whole idea sounds so boring / mundane /monotonous.

  spending all of eternity serving god by carry messages here and there?.

  watching humans... i guess spending time with family that are also there and reminiscing.

  The almighty god could make a knowledge of himself in us that we don't forget TEC. He didn't. Many cultures away from society lead happy regular lives in the jungle without Jesus and god never reveals himself to them.

  My lord speaks to me...

  What does he say?

  He speaks to my heart, if you listen you can hear him.

  What does he say?

  He is the way and the word. He knows me and he guides me. It's something everyone should find.

  What does he say?

  Only once we let go of mans teaching and lies can we hear him.

  oh shit, I give up.

  The whole hoopla and rules around "scripturally free" are BS. If some hard nosed elders decide that the flimsy evidence presented is enough, then congrats you are free to remarry without being reproved or gossiped about. If some lazy or timid elders decide there isn't "proof" then too bad, you are doomed to a lifetime of solitude unless you can find a JW willing to break gods laws, or your old mate breaks the laws.

  I've known poor sisters who at great personal expense hired outside help to track down and prove fornication.

  And it all depends on an elders opinion. Jehovah either is sad with you or happy depending on what the particular investigative committee decides. BS.

  My Jimi Hendrix experience

  by confusedandalone in

  as a 13 year old a friend of mine had a jimi hendrix record and told me if we play it backwards that they said words.

  he bought the record from a shop not far from where we lived and we were the only family that still had a record player.

  so we played the record and i spun it backwards andnothing happened.

  Lol this was my life too. I remember my parents scrutinizing every songs lyrics and reading into them perverted or bad stuff that even a so called bad person didn't mean.

  I feel the same way CandA... I used to wonder if I would just enjoy Paradise for a long time then choose to rebel or die? or if it was really forever or maybe just a long long time. I can't even understand the concept of living for a quadrillion years. Makes no sense.

  And bear in mind that the person who separated due to extreme physical abuse, would not be scripturally free to remarry. Whacky.

  Interesting thought. But, the WT is very pro men... The MAN provides. I think the would just look at you like your head was on fire.

  Bertrand russell on sceptisism (the philosophy)

  by bohm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am currently reading bertrand russells "a history of western philosophy" and this passage struck me as true:.

  scepticism naturally made an appeal to many unphilosophic minds.

  people observed the diversity of schools and the acerbity of their disputes, and decided that all alike were pretending to knowledge which was in fact unattainable.

  I've been in the mountains. They DO exist just in case anyone wanted proof. I can swear to it.

  I know someone with AIDS and it is real too.

  Please read between the lines and try to understand what I mean - good day and I will chat with you later.
