Why do you still believe?

by flower in

someone posted on another thread a comment that i found interesting.

something like once you find out the truth about the 'truth' its impossible to stop there and not question everything as far as religion and the existance of god.

i'm sure most of us that were raised in the watchterror org and have found out that we were decieved our whole lives have examined this subject at some point.

In other words, why do you believe in God/Jesus/Bible?

I guess it's just a matter of faith. I've tried not to believe, but I just can't. Also, I feel I have felt Jehovah's hand in my life, at least before I became a smoking fornicator. LOL

Can't stand the weight I've gained on my anti-depressant....

by berylblue in

...i have my first comedy performance saturday, and i'm 15 pounds overweight.

i don't care that i'm still (albeit barely) in the acceptable weight range for my age/height (47/5'1"); i want to be thin again.

short of not eating for a week, does anyone have any suggestions?

I am using my weight in my routine; after I tell about my psych hospital stays (The things I will mention actually happened, like the guy who said, : "The plate the aliens put in my head is killing me". And another patient said, "You too?" The first patient was serious, the second one was teasing the first, but I'm not going to say that. )

Anyway, I get out of the hospi tal and my psychiatrist tells me I have to go on meds, and I have a choice between the one that will make me fat but not impair my sex drive and the one which doesn't put on weight, but is anoragasmic. I ask him which ones he has samples of and....

Great. I'm going to be a 400 pound nymphomaniac."

That's not the way I'm going to say it or the words I'll use, just an overview of how I'm going to work in my big butt and hips. I look so silly...the top half of me looks like a starved Irish waif and the bottom half looks like an Italian opera singer....(No, I'm not using that, that's just my observation for all of you).

Well, the weight gain stuff works pretty well in the context of what comes next. Not so funny to me anymore but my classmates like it....

The more I think about this, the angrier I become.

This woman is, at best, a simplistically uncaring moron and, at worst, a cruel and evil *itch who chose to inflict additional suffering on an innocent survivor and her family.

Read between the lines. This is, to me, what she is really saying.

Yeah, go on, put it past you, Satan did it, much the way he's misleading YOU, dear brother. And you are obviously one of his minions. Turning away persons from the true god, as you are attempting to do with your outrageously uncaring post designed to upset others needlessly, is MUCH MUCH worse than childhood sexual abuse, and I am outraged that you would come here, post such an insensitive, self-indulgent post about something you should have gotten over a long time ago. You're OUTTA HERE! We have a spiritual paradise going here, and we don't need the likes of you.

Where is that forum? I'm gonna go kick some ass...just gotta figure out a way to address this without looking obvious.

Day One After Armageddon

by Shakita in

jw
friends

i was looking at a pro jw site and i couldn't believe what i stumbled upon.

someone with a really good sense of humor posted a story about his take on day one after armageddon.

it goes to show the egocentricity of the jw's.

kindness and concern for the least ones

Mr. and Mrs. Shakita,

Always so grateful for your input.

Now, if memory serves me correctly, did the WTS say that the "least ones" were the annointed? And go on to say that since most of us will never come across such a person, it is our "helping" them by going out in service that is the act of kindness to which Jesus was referring?

One Worldwide Religion

by JH in

.

do you think that the governments of the would are about to intervene in religions worldwide?

since religions are the source of trouble around the globe, do you think we are about to see something happen really soon?

This is difficult to answer, since I have been brainwashed by the WTS. Still not thinking clearly, and I can see it's going to take a long time...

However, a lot of persons are very upset with religious zealots who resort to vicious attacks on others, particularly the fundamentalist Muslims who are pro-actively hateful and violent toward other religions, and the Jewish persons who do the same. Others see Christianity as a force no less evil although, perhaps, a bit more subtle in its "approach".

It remains to be seen whether or not people will get tired and upset enough by this to take any kind of action against all religions. I don't myself see this as happening any time soon, but then again, I never thought an American president would have the audacity to term Sadam Hussein and his co-horts "The Axis of Evil" (the axis of evil? What the hell is that?) and go on to launch an attack which negatively (to say the very least) impacts persons who are unfortunate enough to live under this man's regime.

My mum, done with the JW ?

by Vivamus in

jw
friends

so my mum is about ready to leave the witnesses.

i hesitate a bit to write it down like that, just in case i might be cheering too soon, but i do believe it is the case...

yesterday i took a ride with my mum in her car, and the new yearbook of the jw was on the backseat.

berylblue

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but this does sounds like she's way on her way out, isn't it?

Yes, it does. I'm happy for you both. And by the way, you both sound like a lot of fun, and hats off to her for never shunning you!

Sorry to take up space for such a non-issue, but it matters to me.

My partner tells me I look fine but he's very biased.

Oh, yes, I'm "coming out". My name is really Rosemarie
