The problem with jdubbies becoming mass murderers, other than the deaths of all those now slated for pandadise, is that the dubbies have then shot themselves in the foot. Now they don't qualify, so it's a win-lose situation. So only "worldly" ones can murder to gain eternal life.

Re Hostage victims killed in Sydney: "dont worry, at least they will NOW get a ressurection"
by stuckinarut2 inso most would now know of the vile act in sydney last week where a man held hostage over 17 people in the lindt cafe in the middle of sydney.. two people were murdered...a beautiful, educated lawyer,loving mother of three, and a brave, loving young man working as the cafe manager.. this senseless and cruel act has touched everyone deeply, especially in the communities of sydney.
the outpouring of grief and support for the victims and their families has been immense.. i was therefore outraged to have the following comment made by a witness in conversation at the kingdom hall:.
"well, we dont need to be sad, because at least now they (the two victims) will get a ressurection.

Hard to say, not having a parent ever in the bOrg. I think it could prove to be a really difficult time for those who've left as the jdubs (sorry if this offends) are so phony in their platitudes. Grief is tough enough without dealing with that.

New forum 'parousia' is upon us! (software version)
by Simon inthe time has nearly come to switch over to the new forum software.
of course it's not completely finished yet (and never will be) but i think it's good enough to go live with and probably already better than the current one.
i'll give you a quick overview of what to expect and post more detail about the changeover process later.. cloud platform.

Why must we APPLY for everything?
by Tech49 ini was thinking about this today, after seeing another thread on the subject of serving in israel, of all places.
there have been many comments on the recent thread, and the ones a little older, about how utterly ridiculous that premise is.. the bigger question is why do i have to apply?
permission?

can an unhappy married woman vent?
by sowhatnow ini continue to be saddened by the fact that i am married to such a selfish man.. i want to know if i am the only wife who has no say when it comes to using the house she lives in for activities including other people.. .
let me explain.. yesterday my daugher who is 35 got a new puppy for my grandaughter who is 13. today my daughter and son in law are going to help my uncle at a job, and my granddaughter wanted to spend the day here, my daugher said shed bring her and the puppy over, i laughed and said 'your dad wont have that, ill have to go to your house'.. after all it will 'upset' the 2 cats they will hide all day [like they do anytime someone including my grandchild is in my home] .. i already knew that he would not like it if she brought the puppy over, [weve had dogs so its not like he hates them].
he doesnt care if his grandaughter would have enjoyed playing with the puppy over grandmas house, where she likes to be for a change, and that fact that id like to see what my cats would do when they saw a dog for the first time in thier lives.. maybe id have liked to play with the puppy .. when i said to my husband that my daughter said she wanted tp bring them over he said.

I was in a bad relationship many moons ago and continually vented about the boyfriend to my best friend. I think I wanted her to be as mad at him as me and to condemn him so I would somehow feel better. Eventually, she was a good enough friend to tell me that I needed to stop complaining and make a decision. She was right. I was allowing myself to be stuck in a rut because I was too scared to take the first step in changing things.
Change is hard and it can be scary. But the alternative is to stay stuck and miserable. So perhaps it would be good for you to start writing an action plan of how to improve your life. After all, it sounds as if he's not going to change and if he makes everyone else miserable, you have no duty to be his doormat. Instead of seeing all the reasons you can't get out, try inventing ways that you can. Lots of good advice about jobs and opening your own bank account, and I know there is something you're good at that might help you connect with a job. Think outside the box. Maybe learn medical transcription or something else you can do from home. Don't worry about the car, it's going to have the same mileage whether you stay or you go.
The worst that can happen is that you will be in the same position thus time next year. And you've got this large group of folks here for support!

YOU 'THINK' YOU ARE FREE when you leave the Org. . . but it can be an ILLUSION
by Terry indid you know there is nothing more insane than being partly indoctrinated and partly free?.
the level of cognitive dissonance is ridiculous!.
i have told this story before, so i'll shorten it to cut to the chase.. in 1987, i was dating a professional psychotherapist with a view to marriage.

If you are having problems or lacking joy, then the flow of Holy Spirit in your life is lacking!
by stuckinarut2 inyes, this comment was just made by the speaker today!:.
"if you find that you are lacking in joy or experiencing problems in life, this is evidence that jehovah's spirit is lacking or being blocked in your life".
i sat there thinking "are you kidding me brother?...

They are really top-notch crazies at the wts. Maybe we could print up thousands of No Guilt stickers (you know, the word GUILT with the red circle and slash) and stick them on the cars at the halls. Or maybe they should say Guilt was for jews, not jws!
Way before I fell into the WT-world, I said that my mother should have been jewish as she was always so good at guilting me. (To be fair, her mother was no picnic.)
I wonder if that's why it was so easy to buy into the jw crapola. I had been conditioned.

Thanks, Gerry, just wanted to be sure I was reading that right. I love that the courts and judges in other countries seem concerned about the WTS' mishandling of pedophile cases. I only wish that they cared that much here in the US....so of course, I'm wondering if green handshakes are involved.
It seems that the US press would be all over the sex abuse coverups in the WTS, as they are so fond of parading those of the Catholic church, yet it's all very hush-hush here.

DNA memory
by poopsiecakes inhas anyone here ever researched or thought about dna memory?
there's a lot of weird, esoteric stuff out there concerning this, like you can somehow access your ancestors' memories.
that's not really what i'm talking about - to me, that sounds a little too fanciful.dna is a relatively recent discovery and obviously, there's still a lot to learn.

I at times wonder what triggers certain reactions in me when I cannot relate them to something specific in my own life. I've assumed that it was "forgotten" memories but maybe it's DNA-related, I never thought about that possibility.
