So, I went to the memorial to honor my mom. I got interested because they were going to talk about how Jesus saves. But, they never really told anyone how to be saved. They said you had to show appreciation for the ransom about 75 times, but never spoke about what that meant. They also said that Christendom teaches that all good people go to heaven. Um, no they don't. What's a "good" person anyway? Because, that's not a thing. No mention of belief.
Then, my family were so loving to me. When I go to their house they barely show any love and I invited them to lunch one time and they were an hour late and my dad barely looked at me or talked much. But there, oh how happy they were, taking pictures, hugging me. It was kind of nice, but it was all a show to get me to come back and I just don't know how to feel about that.

Questions from readers: Pillow talk
by truthseeker ini can't believe they came out with this.... question from readers: should a youth who struggles with masturbation sleep with a pillow?.
you young people know that it is wise to make such restrictions, especially during "the bloom of youth.
" (1 corinthians 7:36).

That's not why God punished Onan. It was because he would not have a baby with his brother's wife. His brother died and they bore no children, so he was supposed to have children with her, but he knew that the kids would be considered his brother's children, so he wasted his seed. They always miss the point!

a question after my first JW meeting
by bleak ini attended my first jw meeting recently.
first, i would like to say what i agree with about the jehovah's witnesses beliefs and practices.. 1. they don't consider israeli's as "god's chosen people" and they don't worship israel as some holy land filled with righteous jews (although there are some there) as most so-called "christians" (christian zionists) erroneously believe they are instead of the "hypocrites" and "vipers" that it is actually filled with.. 2. they don't celebrate "holidays" like easter and christmas which are, in fact, remnants of earlier pagan practices.. 3. they don't put nation before god and christ.
they don't believe in war or going to war because of some crazy government/cia secret agenda.

I believe what Jesus said in his word. Do I have proof? I have personal proof that probably won't mean much to another person. I believe God pursued me and I am so grateful he did! I am all in with Jesus and if it proves not to be true, it won't matter because life with Jesus has been abundant and he restored all that was lost. And I feel loved and accepted.

The good thing is how much of the Bible I knew because my sister and I always read my book of Bible stories together.
The bad thing is that I am separated from my family, but since I am not disfellowshipped, I can still be around them a little.
Another good thing is that it constantly makes me read the Bible and pray in order to stay grounded about what the truth really is.

Was it just me or was something different about the memorial last night?
by kpop inthis was the first memorial that i declined to do any work for the memorial.
i was assigned as a parking attendant after getting downgraded from doing the sound and had no intention of doing either task but i had to attend for my family and continuation of my fade.
i sat there last night listening to the talk and couldn't help but shake my head as my brain attempted to process the bs.

A lady in front of me put a cracker in her purse, but she didn't know the ritual of refusing. I wanted to talk to her after, but was distracted by my grandma.

They did say that the memorial will continue until Jesus comes back to collect the rest of the "annointed ones"
This sounds like how Christians understand the second coming and rapture, except we are all technically "annointed ones" if we put our trust in the sacrifice of Jesus.
Also, I didn't like when he said you can't choose to be born again...Even though Jesus told Nicodemus he must be born again... Clearly it's a choice...

I went and they said over 18,000 partook and what percentage it was.
What I liked about it was that my husband noticed the heresy in a prayer about Jesus being an angel and a lot of talk about works. He is not a JW, but he will defend them sometimes when I say stuff about them. So, that was a win! He did have to tell me to settle down when I was shaking my head no and I guess I made a psstsh sound..Lol
