at 10???? WTF!!!!!
You gotta be kidding me!!!!!
Its a friggin book club!!!! Those WT ladies should mind their own business.
my wife is determined that my son will get circumcised when he is 10 or 11. i tell her that if she wanted him circumcised she should have done it when he was born and that it will be his choice and if he says no i will support him all the way.
one thinkg i am not sure of is whether she is so adamant about this because the wbts requires or encourages it or because it is a cultrual practice int eh philippines (certainly leaving it until 10 or 11 seems to be a filipino thing.
so my question is more directed at the practice of circumcision rather than the age at which it is done..

i know there are not many peterists out there but for the sake of argument all you bible believers, a question for you.
its looking more and more like the book of revelation was written for john's time and not ours.
the number mentioned 666 is more likely 616 for the emperor caligula who put a statue of himself in the temple at jerusalem, and the first verses in the book and the last chapter all say that these thing will happen quickly.
It's crap man. A giant steaming hot loaf written by someone on a bad acid trip.
and unmarried, of course, since they are all virgins?.
since you are taking this all literally, perhaps you need to re-read the verses carefully.
if parts of this verse are to be taken figuratively then how do you determine the number, 144,000 to be literal?.
what a crock!
the cuffs are still on,.
but the chains have been broken.. i can move independently, though the going is tough.. finally on my way to freedom.. -django.
ps...kinda want revenge....
JW"s are batshit crazy.
The best revenge is living a happy healthy fulfilled life.
Sure they re established your ego until the end of eternity. But go to work on yourself. Don't spend you energy fighting batshit crazy people.
we have something within their own literature stating otherwise?.
"apocalypse, or revelation, is the name of the last book in the bible, written toward the end of the first century c.e.
in view of the prophetic nature and highly symbolic language of this book, the adjective apocalyptic came to be applied to a form of literature that began long before the bible book of revelation was written.
In a world of 7 billion people that's one person for every 10,000. That's two people from a stadium full of 20,000 people. And the odds are getting longer every day as the population grows.
Batshit crazy.
how many of you feel that being a jw is like being in an abusive relationship?
what do you think are the similarities?
the differences?
It's a very abusive co dependency between a narcissist (drug addict) and a narcissist supplier (drug dealer).
The narcissists suppliers will develop stockholm syndrome over time. The narcissist will use you as long as you provide them opportunity. When you no longer provide opportunity they will discard you and devalue you by the same degree that they once held you in esteem.
JW's are just batshit crazy.
Next!
hi y'all, this is mrs. flipper.
please share your experiences with this, or possible consequences of being outed.. this recent controversy and resulting arguments all stem from people being outed - possibly losing friends and family because most jw's will blindly follow the watchtower's rules to shun them.. among people i know and experiences read here, the grief and loss caused by this is terrible, and maybe now is a good time to put up some experiences here, and put the focus on the worst villians of all - wt policymakers..
Shunning is Batshit crazy. It's pathetic.
Shame on you Jeho's. Shame on you.
please don't take this the wrong way, i would love it for women to comment on this thread because i just can't understand something!!.
here's the pattern i see:.
mostly guys in here.. if the guys are married, their wives usually stay a jw, or it takes 3 times as much time to convince a woman to leave than a man.. if the guys have a jw father, the father is open-minded and can be more easily persuaded to leave.
Men get their balls cut off by the jw's at baptism. Women just want to make each other "feel" good. Maybe men want their balls back. I have no idea why women do what they do. But when a bunch of them get together they have no brain, pretty much. They need the testosterone in the relationship to have any hope of making good decisions.
Call it whatever you want.
well i do not post here very much and usually what i have to say........well...isn't that important!
but......i am the proud grandmother of twin girls as of august 10!
i am so proud of my daughter, who is 25, just gave birth to twin girls.........no painkillers........nothing!
haboob, thats just an awesome story! Best to you!
this is my first post after deciding to finally open an account here after months of 'lurking'.. a couple of issues i want to address-.
i have issues with people who go from being a witness to losing all faith in god or the bible which seems to be the case with some members of this site.
i just don't think you can let any religion change how you view god or the bible.. second-i don't feel the gb are bad people, i think most witnesses including them are misguided by something that has been drilled into their heads since they were little and are actually sincere people.
Frazzled.
Fear and guilt. A waste of time. A wasted emotion. Wasted energy.
It doesn't matter if the WT induced it or who induced it. It's crap.
In the book "The four agreements." (don Miguel Ruiz) The author talks about NEVER EVER taking anything personal. Even if somebody got a gun and shot you in the head. Even at that extreme. It's not about you. It's about the projection of the other person.
Best,
