He said that God wouldn't bless me if I celebrated Christmas or went to a church.

What is the most insensitive thing an Overseer or Elder has ever said and done to you?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwhat is the most insensitive thing an overseer or elder has ever said and done to you?
i have had many insensitive things said to me by some elders, but for some reason one self-righteous elder was always on my case.
he didn't like the fact that i missed meetings, didn't like that i never went out in field service, that i didn't answer at the weekly meetings and he didn't like that i carried my books and magazines in my hands and not a service/book bag.

The Bible speaks of the "Unforgivable Sin" ? What is it ?
by smiddy3 indo any jehovah`s witnesses or ex jehovah`s witnesses even know what that sin is ?.
why is such a statement in the bible if its not identified what that sin is ?.
were the authors of the book just playing with peoples heads ?

I hear from preachers that the unforgivable sin is unbelief in Jesus and refusing to bow your knee and accept that only Jesus can save you. If you reject Christ, you die in your sins (according to the scriptures) thus making you unforgiven. It's pretty clear that Jesus is the way and it's a really simple formula I don't understand why so many reject it. Maybe they aren't chosen?

Smokin' Phizzy !
by Phizzy inas a jw teenager in the 60's i took up smoking.
i gave up in my early 20's when my new wife and i decided , mistakenly, that it was a good idea to " make a proper go of da troof".
in all the intervening decades i still enjoyed the smell of a fine cigar.. when i left and became free, i took up smoking again, always fine cigars, and ended up hooked, and smoking ten or more a day.

I smoked weed for about 10 years. Gave it up for about 2 years. Started again. Gave it up for 3 years. Then got the medical marijuana card 3 years ago.
I am on day 1 of a 10 day "break" from it.
I would like to just use it when I need it emotionally but my husband and I have fun smoking, so we end up doing it every day.
Oh well! Thankful for the break!

Who was it who ''rescued'', or ''saved'' you?
by Beth Sarim infrom the borg?.
i point to none other than cal lehman and the towerwatch ministries.
towewatch.com.. the years following the collapse of the ussr and the 1995 generation left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time.

why crown of thorns
by peacefulpete inmost here know that story elements in the jesus story are drawn from the ot.
countless elements of gospels are cut straight from the descriptions of ot characters like moses, joshua, samuel et.al.
an interesting suggestion involves a passage that was the very last straw for me years ago.

It makes me think of when the ground was cursed and it would grow thorns and thistles and man was to work that ground. Jesus was undoing the curses by his sacrifice.

Politics and Hope
by lriddle80 inso there are a lot of atheists on here.
my question: where does your hope come from?
that the right people will be put in political positions and will eventually form a utopian society that will meet all needs and we will have equality for all?.

Could you possibly be a poorly educated fear mongering nutter JWS ?
Who am I?
Oh, I am just a middle aged fun loving gal! I love long walks on the beach and having intense philosophical conversations about God and life that make my armpits sweat, lol! I love telling stories about my life and listening to other people's stories about their life. I am a volunteer and I have served at many places over the years and have seen a lot of walks of life. I love healthy food, exercise and am a caregiver for my job. I enjoy psychology and learning about mental illness. I am a diagnosed bpd which I don't think qualifies me as a "nutter" per se, but it's been a tough thing to try to manage. As I have gotten older, it's lessened and I am stable and I have made amends with all the people I have hurt. I strive to be all things to all people and that's an impossible goal, but I like the challenge! Mostly I just want to be a blessing to people because life is hard enough without me ruining things. A lot of people say I am cute or smart or crazy, but they are usually laughing when they say that! I don't really fit in anywhere, but I kind of love that now. I was raised as a JW, but left 20 years ago, got saved about 10 years ago, df'd about 2 years ago and that's a funny story!
Anyway, who are you?

Height of mountains before and after the flood .
by smiddy3 init was stated many years ago in answer to how did the flood cover the top of all the mountains on earth in noah`s day.?.
mount everest ?.
and it was explained away by saying that the mountains before the flood were a lot smaller / lower than the mountains that exist today.. so there was no problem .. when the deluge began with so much volume of water now covering the earth ( water being heavy ) pushed down into the weakest parts of the earth and raised up in other parts of the earth to where we now have higher mountains than existed before the flood of noah`s day.. in other words mount everest didn`t exist at its present height before the flood and neither did any other high mountain that exists today ,the topography all changed with the noachian flood.

I think the flood story is like most of the Bible. It's a bunch of stories trying to say the same thing. Destruction is coming and there's a way of escape. And it probably won't be Elon Musk getting us to all live on Mars, just saying...
