my father died wednesday night.
he's been bedridden, paralyzed, and tube fed for nearly five years, so it was more release than tragedy.. those of you who know my story will understand the miserable mix of emotions his passing has caused.
the whole guilt and forgiveness issue shoved itself right up my nose into my forebrain.
Mommie Dark:
I do not know your story, I was not able to find it. By your post I am guessing that maybe your father abused you somehow. This makes me very sad. I hope you are able to find peace. When you lose a father, a part of you is gone too.
I really do not know how to express myself too good, but I hope you find comfort and that your pain decreases with time. I will pray for you.
well i'm off of work for the weekend.
i hope everyone enjoys their time off (if not working this weekend).
enjoy time with the family.
Well I'm off of work for the weekend. I hope everyone enjoys their time off (if not working this weekend). Enjoy time with the family. Do some Bible reading and just relax.
I will be meeting Sunday with my judicial committee for reinstatement. Wish me luck! I have made many stupid things in the past and I still need to work on many things. I want a relationship with Jehovah once again. I miss what I have lost. I have argued with some in this forum, but I do listen and only post what I feel. If some of those feelings or opinions seem like I am trolling, well I'm sorry but I can't change what is in my heart and what I think is right. Many accuse me of being brainwashed by the Witnesses. Well of course I am. I grew up as one. But I don't find a thing wrong in the doctrines we teach. There's been error on several fronts, but not in doctrine as I see it. But I will continue to pray, to read God's Word and to analyze.
Again, I wish everyone a very happy weekend!
...so please, end the fights.. (i wanted it to be a couplet).
my dad is looking at a whole bunch of sites, freeminds, silentlambs, etc, and i pointed him in this direction.
no more fights....daddy wants info.
Just because it comes from your head doesn't mean it's fact.
Example of apostate propaganda:

just a few example...
i've been thinking about this for sometime now and i wanted to know how other people felt about this comparison.
the pharisees were known for hypocrisy and for also promoting traditions of men and other non-bibical teachings.
when we look at the wtbs in light of the actions of the pharisees there are some amazing similarities.
Young lady, you are 'dancing with demons', once I lovingly warned him of his danger of blasphemy
You're a chick, wwwwwaaaaaahaaaaaa! lovingly warned him? ROTFLOL!
here are my nominations for scripture jws would like to see go away.
in all cases they're reduced to the ``yes, but'' defense; i.e.
john 14:2-- ``in my father's house are many mansions.".
HERE IS ONE THAT WE DON'T IGNORE, BUT APOSTATES WOULD LOVE FOR IT TO GO AWAY:
*** Rbi8 Isaiah 33:10-14 ***
10 “Now I will rise up,” says Jehovah, “now I will exalt myself; now I will lift myself up. 11 YOU people conceive dried grass; YOU will give birth to stubble. YOUR own spirit, as a fire, will eat YOU up. 12 And peoples must become as the burnings of lime. As thorns cut away, they will be set ablaze even with fire. 13 Hear, YOU men who are far away, what I must do! And know, YOU who are nearby, my mightiness. 14 In Zion the sinners have come to be in dread; shivering has grabbed hold of the apostates: ‘Who of us can reside for any time with a devouring fire? Who of us can reside for any time with long-lasting conflagrations?’
this will be my last post here.
i was deactivated.
i will not apologize for my behaviour.
I'm glad you're gone you big piece of - oops! I need to control myself or I'll be gone too.
ironically, we were discussing the watchman who stays awake night and day.. anyway, something was said that made me awaken and pay careful attention.
please, if anyone else who got this same information at their book study, please share it.. here goes:.
there was a picture of a man standing on the watchtower keeping on the look out.
Are you obsessed with me? Need a spanking?
i'd be interested in hearing some of the exjw's door-to-door experiences.
i've probably had the saturday morning door knocking...maybe 6-8 times.
i've never been "rude" except for once...when i had a particularly aggressive pair who wouldn't take "no thank you" for an answer.
99.99% of the JWs hate it with a passion.
It's fine to post your personal feelings about the preaching work, but to speak in behalf of 99.99% of Witnesses is just silly. I'm sure some do not enjoy it, they would rather be doing other things, but the majority do enjoy it. Some might not like door-to-door work, but they enjoy informal witnessing. A popular facet of the preaching work today is phone witnessing. Some hate it others love it as they can be sitting in the Hall sipping on a cup of coffee (or tea for our British friends) while they talk to people.

So basically you want your dad to be brainwashed by apostate propaganda?
a few other questions i had.
do jw's hunt?
my jw in-law is totally against guns and i am wandering if it is ok to hunt animals?
Do JW's hunt?
Not for sport.
Is it OK for a dub to help someone, a stranger, and never bring up Jehovah?Sure happens all the time. I don't bring up Jehovah when I help someone out.
have heard that a dub should only have sex with his/her spouse in the traditional manner. BORING...Stay tuned for an upcoming Watchtower article: "101 Approved Positions".
Its OK to work for the Gov as long as you dont carry a gun or fight in the military???????Sure.
