  eh... eh... eh now... NEVER say INNEFFECTIVE! ... Wrong maybe... something... but NOT inneffective!

  This "work" has had an EFFECT on a very large portion of the world. It has re-produced and "become many" . Like a virus. It has EFFECTED families and children. It has EFFECTED every last one of the people who post messages on this thing... what is member count, here again? Oh.... it EFFECTS allright. . . Effect,,,, Affect same difference.

  Maybe "ludicris" or "judmental" or " decietful" or ... whatever..... but NEVER ... inneffective.

  ah.... I feel better now, thank you for letting me vent.... and no I am not attacking anyone. Just a little friendly reminder that's all.

  Can Good Exist Without Evil??

  by Sargon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some ponderings:.

  the laws of physics tell us that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

  good and evil are equal and opposites of the same concept.

  I dont think in terms of Good and Evil... more like Loving and Cruel. God is "all things" wich is a very broad statement. God is both happy and angry, loving and cruel. All the emotions that humanity is capable of.... are the same things that make up god.

  I am not suggesting that god doesnt care what happens. But Good and Evil, are terms that indicate that you either "break" or "follow" some rules. Most of the "rules" part came from man. God has provided a cycle of life (and death) that allows life to exist on earth. The agenda of man, and his terms of "good and evil" have little to do with the Dweller of The Heavens. That wich is far beyond man's comprehension. Even Jw's believe you would "go blind" if you truly saw God. Man will continue to try to comprehend the Dweller of the Heavens.... we will put into terms of "good and evil" a being that is of far greater conceince than ourselves.

  ... look around you at how the rest of the animal kingdom has LAWS of their own. Man is no different, we live by those same laws.

  By the way, that brings me to the whole war thing right now.... see.. .animals... just marking their territory and fighting over food and females. The "Man Packs" are locked in battle. Take my advice....

  "just avoid the humans", I will personally, stick with the cats. They remain nuetral, they know that they are above man and his silly games.

  How much do JW's RESPECT their kids?

  by anti-absolutism in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i strongly believe that it is very difficult to be a good parent in the borg!!

  if you think about it, the parents are basically trained to look at their kids as if they are lesser human beings than them..... you know the old head of the house crap!!.

  i know from my personal experience, i was df'd in 1992, but i never made the definite decision to never go back until 1997. .

  Hey, dont get me wrong. I am with you on that. But that has been going on in some form since the begining of man. There will always be those who lead, and those who follow. The slaved and slave master. Without it... there would be anarchy. So this is the price you pay for being able to drive on paved roads and have indoor plumbing.... society itself is a necessary evil.

  I have not held with much that jw's believe. But I do not interfere in the affairs of man... period. What course man chooses, is not my concern. But for me.... I am glad to have had the foundation they gave me.... they taught me to outsmart the system, in a sense. I mean.. I was taught at an early age... that man's affairs are his own... maybe for the wrong reasons... but there is wisdom in some of their teachings.... my only point.

  Are we caged lions.

  by Vivamus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today, discovery channel let me travel with sir anthony hopkins to the inner realms of africa, on a quest to find the king and queens of the animal world - lions.

  as i was enchanted with the raw power and grace these big cats possessed, i was also given the sight of a lion held in captivity.

  it growled, and roared, and walked in his cage, daring the outside world to meet him on his own terms, without iron bars keeping him in captivity.

  I have often compared my wife and I to that exact thing. Lions. I have patterned my life after them. It may sound mad... but it is, as you say it is. Man is not so far above the animal kingdom, as he would like to believe. Lions.... we have the same basic instinct to have family structure, to have mates, to reproduce.... and to kill.

  I guess I have an affinity with kats. I dont know.

  My life turned out great, after surviving through it. I ran away at age twelve and survived everything from male prostitution and homelessness, to cancer and nearly death.

  I haven't seen my parents since... I am 33 years old now. I am still running.

  But I met a beautiful woman from England, and Married her. I grew up a whole lot. I became an artist with my own Graphic Design Studio. Kat Newmas Productions. I play the flute and the piano. I am buying a house, and making two car payments. My wife is a professional also.

  Perhaps I would not be what I am now without Jehovah's Witness... in some twisted way. I knew when I was eight years old that I was not a fit to their mold. I was very fortunate that they taught me to read, and gave me an education.(ed-you-kay-shun... sound it out) They gave me a sense of conceince that I am proud of. Perhaps their lack of tolerance thickened my skin enough, to prepare me for the world I was about to face.

  I turned out o.k. after all.... except for that thing with the voices..... (kat walks off into the darkness mumbling to himself.....)

  Any "Prophecy" that JW's have fulfilled, they have perhaps done themselves...

  Replace the league of nations... with the watchtower bible and t, Society.

  They are the epidomy of everything that represents the concept of the anti-christ.

  Those who have come to you and said "I am without sin, you must follow me, because I know the path you should take to god." .... and most of us believed them.

  DNA and Man's origin

  by D wiltshire in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  i think as time goes on and dna gets understood better and better it will be imposible for fundamental christians to defend thier position against evolution.

  kind of like the catholic church going against galileio saying the "earth is not the center of the universe".. "eventually"(maybe not now) to fight against the evidence makes you look very stupid and under heavy mind control.. don't get me wrong i beleive there is a god, and i think he used "gradualism" to create the universe and life, i even feel the first 2 chapter of genesis are discribing a very long drawn out process that took just as evolutionist are telling us, billions of years till finally man appears.. eventually the wt is going to have to change its understanding of genesis to even stay credible..

  Some of what I have read here suggests that man.... is the final product.

  Life on the planet earth has been changing for millions of years. It is this cycle of life that is the creation. Man is but one form of many. He will continue to grow and change.... Eventually man will not exist in this form. Even your own bible tells you that there will be a new heavens and a new earth.... I mean ....what? Did you think he was just gonna re-create the seven continents or something.... it's all gonna be what it is now.

  The earth has truly seen life-changing cataclysms, that force it's inhabitants to change... in order to survive.

  The earth will be rid of the current system of things. As dictated by the cycle of life.... everything must "die", so that new life can exist. "Man is not so far above the rest of creation, as he would like to believe". Man has been on earth only a fraction of it's existence. He is even so proud as to believe he can destroy the earth, with pollution and weapons. . . . 100 million years from now... there will be no evidence of your existence here. . . . "Man" himself will exist as a different form.

  The bible tells you that God is within you. It is that spiritual connection to the dweller of the heavens, that drives us to seek out a "path to god" in the first place. The doctrine itself is not important... but the wisdom of those before us... is there. Our intelligence as a race, has grown since the bible was written. Perhaps our spiritual developement is about to reach a place, where we no longer need that "ritual" and "rules" that religion now provides us with. Religion.. is the construct of man... Spirituality... is that connection to the dweller of the "heavens" that place that we comprehend, but cannot reach in this form.

  Patience. . . in all things.

  ps. this is your brain after being raised as a jehovahs witness... you will spend the rest of your life trying to put into words, that wich exists in the "heavens". If you are considering studying with Jehovahs Witnesses, or any of their affiliates... run while you still can.

  Being a left-over "hair ball" from the eighties, myself... I can appreciate your troubles. I always thought men with short hair looked like someone had snatched up a cat and shaved it... I mean, have you ever SEEN a hairless cat? Very strange... but that is what I see, when I look at short haired men... very strange.

  Anyay Good luck! Perhaps Mad'dam's landlord will find herself a life soon.

  Besides ... these days... all the punk criminals have these litte cute short hair cuts anyway... it's just a fad. But you cant judge a book Blah Blah Blah...

  what to wear to attract the opposite sex

  this is from the book how to make anyone fall in love with you.. in a study, both men and women were shown pictures of members of the opposite sex.

  some of the people in photos wore chic upscale clothes, and others wore less expensive ones that ranged from cheap to downright cheesy.

  IRIDOLOGY- The Diagnostic Study Of The Iris---What Did You Think?

  by minimus in

  jw's love to get involved in non-traditional treatments.

  in many of the congregations, the study of iridology was practiced.

  scores of "sick" people would have "parties" where they would come and get their eyes "read".

  A woman removed a plantars wart from the bottom of my foot one time, by rubbing two halves of a potato on them... when she put the two halves back together she said "when this potato rots, that wart will be gone"... and it was.

  The whole lot of them accused me of using Witch-craft. It became a rather large issue in the congregation. No action was taken against me at that time though,
