  till yesterday it seems my world was very quiet.

  my kids and friends kept telling me you are so hard of hearing.

  finally i got tired of asking them to repeat what they had just said.

  Thx, Mrs. Flipper, good reality check:

  "Most parents will shun their children, rather than give up paradise."

  No, it is not loving.

  His Name was John and he is a Master's Degree student

  i see myself as being like the little (roomba) robot vacuum cleaner, bumping into things, turning slightly this way or that, then proceeding merrily on my way.

  “yes life sucks,” i seem to say, “but life goes on--let’s make the most of it.”.

  yesterday at the starbucks on the hill, i hit a bump in a conversation with a young, bearded master’s degree student.

  Questions, questions, questions....

  Questions are the answer to get people to think.... Good job!

  I will try to apply that methodology to my future conversations with people stuck in their 'righteous' way of thinking.

  Good job! (great patience!)

  Synthetic Blood trial slated for 2017

  by Lee Elder in

  2. medical

  the u.k. to start trials in a new synthetic blood substitute.

  all previous versions have failed to gain regulatory approval, but perhaps this one will offer a way out for jehovah's witnesses.

  Amen, blondie... that is the WT's M.O. : "clarification" & "adjustment"

  I thought 'God's chariot' was fast! ?

  Seems as tho the H.S. takes it's time 'clarifying', haha!

  OMG that 'blood card' is scary... Instructions for "if you are pregnant" and "no one can be your witness if they can inherit part of your estate!
  
  

  I am so glad not to be a J-dub.

  Haha! They always use the kids as "examples of what we shouldn't do", right? Caleb & Sophia....

  If I could pole vault well, I would make a video of myself going to a convention, and the song would be playing "don't run so fast", right?

  Well, I would be standing in line, before "being let in", listening to the brother saying "Brothers, sisters, please don't run"..... and then..... they let you in, and the pace quickens, everyone is ALMOST running, haha, and I would run to the front of those walls... where the seats have more room.... and VAULT over the wall! haahaa, while the song is playing "don't run so fast"!

  If I were younger, and could vault, I would love to go to a convention and do that, just to see the look on all their faces! The same people got front row seats every year, right?

  It would be a funny video ;-)

  How do we know JWs are wrong and how do we convince others JWs are wrong: logic versus persuasion

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we like to think we are logical and have good reasons for for our beliefs.

  no more so than when it comes to our reasons for rejecting the truth claims of jws.

  we reject their version of history, such as the date of the fall of jerusalem, because it doesn't agree with the historical evidence.

  My husband, my sons, my DIL & I left SOLEY based on 607 BCE. If 607 was wrong, 1914 was wrong, and so was 1919, and the GB were just a bunch of men.

  When they changed the "generation" teaching, we waited for the WT's explanation in the 2011 WT. We used ONLY the Society's publications, bible, etc, etc.

  I hate liars, I was lied to, and there was no way I was going to stay with a lying organization full of numerologists (yes, I looked at The Finished Mystery). Period.

  I had endured all kinds of crap in this borg, and never left. Had PTSD more than once from things done to us by "this loving organization." I did not consider leaving, "Jehovah would straighten it out, he knew what was happening" (not that I didn't do what I could when I could, I did not sit on my hands)

  No slimboyfat..... we did not leave for "social" reasons. We knew it would mean losing friends, family, our life.... and we did.

  Nope, truth is truth and lies are lies.

  Just the facts.... that was it.
