  Kids can't understand until they walk in their parents' shoes, I guess!

  Hope things clear up between you and your daughter sometime soon. It is no fun to be estranged from your own kids.

  two copies of this invitation were pinned to the corkboard at the post office this morning: a world government, why do we need one, is it possible, who is qualified to rule?.

  i know this invitation hand-out has been discussed but i missed this part - that wt obviously is saying they are qualified to rule the world.

  i can't take it.

  Tower of Babel built by Babies!

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  2. beliefs

  the weekly tms bible reading assignment is not read, or not carefully read, by most of the sheeples.

  it doesn't really matter, because the consideration of the bible reading material is one of the shortest parts on the meeting with a limited number of comments, and those comments are restricted to less than 30 seconds or you will get counselled.

  over and over, the dubs are told to read the bible, yet the organization gives no real encouragement to read the bible by keeping everyone busy in the recruiting work and using relatively few scriptures in their "talks".. why?

  THE CURRENT FADING OF BRAND NAME "THE WATCHTOWER"

  by steve2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the current fading of brand name "the watchtower" & the rise, rise, rise of jw.org.

  the watchtower as brand name is in the process of being imperceptibly faded from visibility in the organization.

  who'd have thought you could make a watchtower fade and disappear?

  The WT is the name being talked about in court, in child abuse cases. The JW.org is SO not associated with child abuse! They hope.

  I know this invitation hand-out has been discussed but i missed this part - that WT obviously is saying THEY are QUALIFIED to rule the WORLD. I can't take it. Think about the misery, pain and depression people are suffering as a result of this org. But they are ready to govern the entire world now.

  Inside the tract the question is posed, Who may attend? Answer: Everyone. Well is that true? I thought JWs had to be invited to be "delegates" to the convention?

  (I took both of these tracts and they are in the trash bin now.)

  there was a brother in my congregation who was an elder.

  he got disfellowshipped about two years ago for looking at child porn and also trying to meet up with a thirteen year old boy online.

  he was also arrested soon after this.

  Mr. Flipper you are RIGHT ON, and thank you for what you said.

  Wouldn't it be fantastic if everyone BUT pedophiles left the WT. Then the insanity would be obvious to humanity.

  Jgnat and D-D, thank you for your posts so much! It is refreshing to me to come here and see that there are some people, however few, who have learned the truth about pedophiles and the nature of abuse in general.

  I'm writing a novel!

  by punkofnice in

  2. friends

  i'm up to about 30k words at the moment and still going strong.. i don't expect it'll ever get off the ground.....at least i'm going to try though.. i'm thinking of 6 months time and looking at the route of self publishing.

  yes, i want to be a publisher.. it's very violent in places, has violent sexual scenes and very strong language.. it's everything the watchtower(r) said i should avoid.....i wonder if my authentic self has exploded into freedom?.

  if you want more info or wish to read a snippet let me know.. i can't think of a title and have changed it several times, at the moment it's called 'boomshot.

  What great, great news, i am so happy to hear you tell this!

  I'm feeling like the planets are aligning in some creative juice starting to flow- way. It's been many months since i actually did any work at the jewelry bench, but the last few nights I've been getting some real traction.

  Our ideas are turning into real stuff - we're feeling better and better.

  A Warning for anyone with Fibromyalgia or CFS

  by LisaRose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had been hearing about a food supplement that has shown to be a promising therapy for fibromyalgia or chronic fatique syndrome, a food supplement called d ribose.

  i tried it and was impressed with the results, so i have been taking it for the last three months.

  unfortunately during this time i have also had intestinal issues, which have gotten progressively worse, to the point it was debilitating, also nausea, dizziness and a mild headache.

  Not to hijack the thread but one little-known side effect of Tylenol can be asthma. It happened to two different people I know.

  the old guys sided with hobby lobby today in denying birth control coverage to its female employees based on the owners religious views.

  intact- is viagra for the guys.

  funny how the far right evangelical owners of hobby lobby didn't want to touch that one.... read judge ginburg's scathing counter argument and opinion.. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/13-354_olp1.pdf.

  If your employees are using contraceptives they are more likely to be at work, instead of using maternity benefits.

  What is the problem with contraceptives, i just don't understand anything about this. All I know is, having too many kids leads to poverty and all the bad stuff that goes along with poverty.
