  ADVICE NEEDED

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i need some advice on this one: a friend of mine who is still an active jw called me today all freaked out because another friend of hers, who only got baptized this summer, wants to leave "the truth".

  this is because she's been talking to "worldly" people and they've almost got her convinced that the religion is a cult.. .

  my girlfriend, sarah says of course, that this is "satan" trying to blind her, etc.

  The thing that struck me was that you may be talking to the wrong person. IMPO you should be talking with Sarah's friend who is looking to get out. Maybe point her to here, the CofC book...but at least talk with the friend. As for Sarah, or anyone else, follow your heart and that quiet voice that whispers to you to do the "right" thing.

  Starry Starry Night - Vonda Shepard's remake (brings back memories of a 15 year old girl who understood the lyrics and acted on them - wish I would've known then what I know now....)

  The mother of all gripes

  i personally feel that the single biggest problem in modern society, is the lack of taking personal responsibility for our own actions.

  i think that as a culture we have allowed people the room to make excuse after excuse, and accept these as something that should be legit.

  well w e see kids raised in families that love them, feed them, take care of them to the best of their means.

  And we could all start right here by accepting responsibility for getting in the WT and staying for as long as we have...and the problems that result. OK, I agree things like child and spouse abuse are definitely caused by others. On the other hand, we were the ones who only read the Watchtower literature, didn't check the sources, shunned all those bad a1s apostates, etc...responsibility and accountablity are hard pills to swallow when you come to realize its you (and me) that have to be that way. Great post - let the debate begin!

  Gotta get back to work - 17 minute coffee break is over.

  What Was The 1st Thing That Made You Question?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a youngster raised in the "truth", i had my questions.

  but anytime you ask a question that is unanswerable, you are told to just wait on jehovah.

  as time passes, i believe that we store up a number of unanswerable questions that forces one to eventually think about everything.

  My son asked me why in the My Bible Stories book it said the rainbow Noah saw as part of the "Rainbow" covenent was the First rainbow. Told him to look it up and he pointed out that it didn't say anything about it being the first rainbow in the Bible. When he asked an elder, he tried to defend the book's reasoning instead of going to what the Bible said. That then caused me to question everything that was taught.

  So, maybe children do see things more clearly than us old "drones"?????????????

  Mine used to be Snickers, peanut M&M's, butterfingers (anything w/ peanut(butter))...now I've developed an allergy to peanuts - too much of a good thing I guess (or is it the big guy's punishment for being here????). Ooh,ooh, chocolate covered cherries - now that brings back Xmas memories -sorry wrong holiday - I'm so confused and hungry for something sweet
