  Hi Steve

  I concur with all of your reasoning on blessing ect but be careful about this mother daughter thing, it might make trouble for you. By the way you have a beautiful daughter who can read so be careful Dad. (if this doesn't apply to you................I forget who said it)

  to get the ball rolling is this image from the 1986 publication, true peace and security: how can you find it?.

  I've Lost My Faith

  by jst2laws in

  2. beliefs

  we occasionally get wind of new lies being spread about us in our old jw community.

  having 'served' in fourteen different congregations in six states often serving where the 'need is great', one decade in the fulltime work and nearly two decades as a po, it appears are current status with the organization is causing a bit of a scandal.

  yesterday we received a phone call from an old friend at bethel.

  I received the following, in an email from a friend recently, and thought it provided some food for thought:

  "The last few years has confirmed for me that most Witnesses (like most other sectarians) are little different than avowed deists, when it comes right down to it. Most Witnesses have but a vague undefined idea of God with no real firsthand conviction about the Bible and its testimony. Like other sects with their inherent flaws and deficiencies, the JW sect has been a poor and unauthorized tutor leading onlysome to Christ. The unfortunate fact seems to be that not many JWs are genuine Christians, and thus its no surprise that many who unplug from the organization walk away not esteeming Christian principles like the following:

  So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.

  Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

  Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

  i have been registered here since october 2001, when the un story broke.

  i figured it is time to start my first official thread and introduce myself.. first i would like to thank simon for providing this forum.

  i have enjoyed it immensely for the past year or so and found it both thought provoking, and humerous.. the problem i have, is trying to get my wife of 18 years to visit here.

  Hi, you two. This is Mulan, and I am Princess' mother. My real name is Marilyn. Bigred is her Dad, my husband.

  I am out of posts for today, so am stealing his ID.

  Welcome and it's so nice to hear our darling daughter is such a positive influence. We think she is really something special, and so do a lot of other people we know. Of course, I AM her mother.
