  This Forum.....What Benefit is Is thesedays?

  firstly .......i don't mean for one minute the end of friendships that may have been cultivated here.....or the "help" that may have been extended to those who needed it.... there are some good people here.

  but......... but...... how often can the same old topics be bounced about and re-cycled amongst the topic threads here, usually created by the same few, for an imaginary multitude that i just don't see.

  ok you say many may look in here, and may not comment.

  Although I have been out a long time (1994) and didn't have family "in" so it was much easier for me to leave than for many here, for some reason it has been beneficial/comforting/??? to me to come read what people have to say. Occasionally, I think, I have been able to give some good input to people with serious questions, but more often it is just nice to be able to share with people who have a common background. Being in a cult really does warp a person, and no matter how well I have adjusted (and I think I have adjusted fairly well), occasionally it is comfortable to return to visit with people who have "been there." If I thought visiting JWD was a waste of time (which you seem to think it is) I would just not come back. Recently, I have spent more time here than I did for several months, not to mention that I lurked for a very long time before "coming out."

  So my question for YOU is: What's your problem? If you don't like what you are reading here, it's easy to go elsewhere, so why don't you? Instead you are throwing your little temper tantrum because things here aren't the way YOU think they should be. Life is change. The only people who have major trouble with change are narrowminded people who must have everything pigeon-holed. If something is different, they go into a tail-spin and immediately start pointing the finger at other people and condeming them for the natural evolution of things.

  My advice to you, if you don't like the turn this board has taken, is: Get your own life.

  JWs and marital intimacies. What is the current view???

  by brojo in

  2. friends

  in the 70s the wt published that certain practices between marriage partners such as oral sex were wrong and could result in disfellowshipping.

  we all remember the havoc it wreaked on marriages especially where a non jw mate was involved.

  they later backed away from this position.

  I was baptized a few months before this pogrom program was instituted - but I knew enough to read "Song of Solomon." Talk about your original dirty book! I said then, and still maintain, when he was talking about her "thighs" it wasn't her "thighs" he was interested in, but what was between them! So I ignored their idiocy then, IMHO, they had no business sticking their collective nose in my bedroom.

  Obviously that was the first step toward being apostate.

  What's your status....relationship wise?

  by Maverick in

  2. relationships

  one of the down sides of the web is not knowing the various posters status; married, involved, looking, and lost...suspect a lot of those here!

  my status is complicated...mostly by me!

  i have a couple of admirers that would like to lock me down but i keep dancing around the whole issue.

  Hi, MOM,

  I don't know how you would break it gently to your family that you aren't going to the memorial, BUT, I was thinking about the bOrg's stance that Jesus' sacrifice was only for the 144,000. If forgiveness only takes place when blood is poured out, and the 144K are the only ones forgiven, how can the idiot rank and file Great Crowd ever gain forgiveness for their sins? As long as they are not forgiven, they are still dying in their sin, therefore, they will never live forever!

  Just a thought.

  A man and his Labrador Retriever are sitting in a duck blind. Some ducks fly over, the hunter shoots and a duck falls in the water. The Lab jumps up and runs over the water, picks up the duck in his mouth, runs back over the water and drops the duck at the hunter's feet. The hunter can't believe what he just saw, so he waits for more ducks to fly over. Pretty soon another flock comes by, he shoots, and a duck falls in the water. Again the Lab runs out over the water and retrieves the duck. The hunter is so amazed that he has to go get his friend to see this. He brings the friend back, shoots another duck, the Lab repeats his performance, and drops the duck at his feet. The hunter says to his friend, "Did you see that? What do you think of that?!!" The friend says, "I think that dog doesn't know how to swim!"

  The moral of the story is: Don't miss the point.

  Hi, Tinkerbell,

  I'm sorry you are having pain. My uncle (now gone to the great surgeon in the sky) had adhesions and had to have surgery for them, and again, and again, and again. Unfortunately, since he is no longer with us, I can't ask him any questions.

  Hope you don't have to have surgery for them.
