  That is so true Batman!

  (what just kidding said is so true)

  We met a guy who had been "out" & DF'd for 20 years, but he kept feeling like he might need to come back, tho he never thought he would. So, he never got married, tho he wanted to, and had this circular reasoning for twenty years, never 'going' anywhere in his batmobile...

  Someone I know had nightmares about 'returning.' Nightmares that they would somehow be drug back into the religion, that his parents would return, and the nightmare would keep going... The WT digs deep into brains, making it hard for some to ever forget.

  Start anew with a freshoutlook...

  Give yourself a couple of years to get your head on straight, to know what you really desire, what you reallly think (your own thoughts, not WTBS) and just breathe....

  Life does go on, it changes, it gets better.

  Want to know why people accept evolution ?

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw

  do you have questions about or want to understand evolution?

  it is a difficult concept to communicate and so if it is not explained well , it is understandable that we would dismiss it.. i sincerely want to talk with people who want to learn more or see what all the fuss is about.

  we are all learning and increasing our knowledge all the time and it is good to go over facts with critical eye.. evolution we can discuss, looking at the foundational facts and evidence, one at a time for you to go and check, agree or disagree with and return.. no pressure to accept it, you can decide for yourself, also no mocking etc of what you have to say.. .

  OK, so, now we have turtles..

  http://www.asknature.org/strategy/f98e7a8e7a954bf5cb3240c74a60a5fe#.U0FT9yxOU1o

  "An alligator snapping turtle lies in wait for a passing fish, well camouflaged against the muddy river bed. Like all turtles and tortoises, it has no teeth, but its jaws are covered in a sharp-edged horny beak suitable for shearing flesh. On the floor of its mouth is a fleshy pink worm-like lure, which the turtle waggles to attract fish. Eager to seize the 'worm', a fish may swim right in the turtle's gaping mouth."

  How did THIS turtle "think" / "get" this worm tongue? Did he "need it"? No, there are lots of other turtles that "survive" w/o it.

  Once he "got" this 'worm tongue', he had to survive to pass it on to his kids... But maybe he didn't find a mate, and died off before he could, or maybe his gene pool did not let him pass this gene on, and his kids did not inherit it...

  How did he learn to use it? Did he even know he had it? and how did his kids learn?.... etc.

  Any ideas? Explanations?

  I would love to hear.......

  No more WWI veterans... Only 5 people born before Jan 1st 1900

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we should keep watching this list: http://www.grg.org/adams/e.htm.

  this list shows the list of verified oldest people alive.

  technically, articles in the 1960's and even in the 1980's indicated that "this generation" meant people born before 1900.. 5 more people, and we can officially celebrate another failed wt prophecy.. when i was "in" i thought that the wwi veterans had to die.... they're all dead... all of them... not a single person on earth now can tell you what happened when they served in wwi.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_last_surviving_world_war_i_veterans_by_country.

  NewYork44m & Blondie,

  I remember this too... I was like, "Hey, How can they just change this like that?!"

  Next thing I say is, "Well, no one knows the day and the hour, I will have more time to help people learn the truth"

  That is how cognitive dissonance & propaganda work.

  Very well......

  The WTBS is a finely tuned machine that knows what it is doing.

  Dear Batman89....

  Remember when you were...10? 13? like any girls?

  Felt sad when they didn't want you? Then you became 16? 18?

  Other girls came along... The others faded...

  Once you move on without this girl, you WILL find another..

  24 / 25 is still young, surprise, surprise (wait until you are 50, 60, 70)

  There is a LOT to life left, LIVE it! EXPLORE it, ENJOY it!

  Get in your batmobile and gooooooo!!!!!!

  not sure of the point of telling my story, but just got off the phone with my grandma and i am so angry, stressed and i don't know what else...i guess i just wanted to hear from someone other than my husband that i'm not crazy for my reaction to family interaction.. my condensed story gramatical errors and all :).

  father was a born in jw, mother was a convert.

  i was born the last of 3 siblings and shortly after my birth in 1981 my parents divorced.

  Hi Patty! Good for you!

  Like 'nando said, and I agree, 'letting it out feels good'... frees the soul,

  and I was thinking the same thing Jgnat was: Just show up unexpectedly!

  (You should never have to spend another second with that terrible man!)

  Hugs to you! & hugs to your hubby who loves you ;-)

  Does anyone know? Will our disfellowshipping be announced when the CO is here?

  sometime soon, we are to be "announced" as "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses".

  well, that's what you get for testifying against "glorious ones.".

  question is: will this kind of announcement be made the week of the co visit?.

  Dear Jhine.... just so you "know" haahaaa (I have to leave for work pretty fast, so here is the boiled down version)

  Someone we know, who we have helped, was going to show up at the hall, and stick up for us... Stand up, telll em all to you know what, in a nice way haha... but, when he arrived, his mom (still a dub) pulled the "you are going to give me a heart attack" card.... He relented, called us "wellllll, for my mom's sake, and my mom's sake only, I didn't do it."

  He called right before I left.... But, I was going to be there to watch the action... I couldn't just "listen", but since there w/be no action, and my son also said "don't give them the power," I stayed home....

  It WAS the night of the CO, they called the new Bethel Boy elder to "the stand" and with a microphone and a stage he had "the power' to DF whomever he needed to.

  Whew! life goes on.... I danced to "Brave" this morning, with my husband! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDu42cnB0zs

  Had a great time!

  ExACTly Truthseeker...

  So sorry this has happened to you, and what makes this abuse so bad, is that when you realize that the "mother' /Borg that taught us to "love our neighbor," has no love in themselves.

  THAT is the killer. When you look in their eyes, and you see ice. Cold, hard, uncaring ice. And the bad part is, they make you feel guilty for even THINKING about being mad at them... Ambient Abuse.

  Plus, you "will be a bad little boy/ girl/ witness" for talking to anyone, going to a counselor. The very thing someone abused needs... "You will "bring reproach on Jehovah."

  NO, the org hs brought reproach, the predator has brought reproach... on themselves... it has nothing to do with God.

  "God" is their "get out of jail free card."

  that's all they kept saying, even the wt conducting eldumb said, " we have to teach the next generation because we won't be here forever.." wth?!???

  The WT is like a machine...

  it rolls and rolls forward, grinding up any in the way...

  and feels nothing, just like a machine....
