so this week dubbies read that the mean bad philistines were punished by the desert god for having his ark.
the desert god punished them with (drum roll please)....... hemroids and rats.
yep.
This is why you can't take the bible seriously. So long before preparation H
was invented God gave the Philistines hemorrhoids. Seven month-long
flaring pack of hemorrhoids, it was so bad they cried out to heaven, in fact
the whole city cried out to heaven. Yes it was heard in Heaven,"my ass is
hurting God" 1Sam 5:12. This is some funny stuff.
this point was raised in another thread vaguely, and wanted to try and expand on it.. the wt has said (and rightly so in my opinion) "that excessive use of drugs and alcohol can ruin your life".
in my eyes this is a fact.. this is where it starts to get a little suspicious, as they also say (or subtly hint at) "that if you leave the wt you will becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol and will ruin your life".. its almost like a self fulfilling prophecy.
as there are a lot who leave the borg and they do start drinking heavy or smoking, or taking drugs...or whatever.. the wt capitalizes on the fact that people want more freedom, and they subtly ingrain the thought that.
So true; alcohol had me in a down spiral after leaving the borg. Only
after I researched the borg my life changed for the better.
The borg have a lot of over the counter drug users and tons of alcoholics.
the time has come to leave this forum.
this is my last post.

Wait a minute, so who is mentally diseased? Did he catch something by
being here, will he infect members in the congregation. He associated
with you folks here you devil worshippers, fornicators, fork tongue hateful people.
Trust us we will not cast a spell on you in your departure, wish you the
the best of luck. Hell I forgot, I can't say luck, go in peace.
hi guys, this is my first post; i thought i should introduce myself.
i was raised and spent most of my life a jw before i was disassociated, because i refused to stop seeing a non witness girl.
i must say their decision to cut me off from my family and friends although initially traumatic ended up being the biggest blessing in disguise of my life.
Good point,"It makes me wonder if they'r aware of the fact that there is
around one million White Blood cells in just one drop of breast milk.
Welcome FF..

you are a as wise young lady, but. "Twenty years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. Catch
the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream and Discover".____ Mark Twain

you'll be back. Richard Pryor comedy dialogue on when he was
hooked on drugs. He said the pipe would call him, smoke me you
will feel better, you don't need no one but me, they don't understand
I understand, I'm your friend. LOL
But if you are at the point to move on, that's great.
supposing a man's wife has had an affair, confessed all and genuinely regrets what's happened.
the husband, after much soul searching and agonising, realises how much he still loves her and how much both of them want to rebuild their shattered relationship.. why should that woman then have to sit in front of a judicial men-only committee and give a blow-by-blow account of her affair?.
how would that make her husband feel, knowing that his wife is sharing intensely private stuff about her affair with several other guys?.
have any ex-elders here had a case where someone denied committing
adultery or fornication when the other party had come forward to confess??
Lets say the woman come forward , the guilt is too much. If the
guy comes in and tell the elders I have no idea what this woman is talking
about, I have never touch her, she is nuts, what can the elders do???
Another topic on child abuse I believe someone mention this, two witness thing.
i know of several examples of ones that "left the truth" for up to 20 years, only to suffer through the reinstatement process and feel like they are finally back on track.. how does this happen?.
i personally know of one example where a father of three, leaves jws, abandons wife and family, lives as a gay man then comes back 20 years later as a partaking member of the anointed..
How many of you here would return (KH) if N. Korea or China dropped
a nuclear bomb in N.Y, the start of WW3.?? Speaking for myself i
would volunteer for the home front, not for one minute would I consider running
back to the KH...
am i alone in this feeling?
i wish i could muster the cojones needed to tell my husband "i want a divorce, move away, not be a jw anymore!".
i find myself screaming these same words over and loud inside my mind, several times a day, and yet on the outside my actions could not be more opposed to these inner feelings.. sometimes i worry that this internal conflict will cause me to go crazy.
wheninDoubt;"if you don't want to be JW because you see the desires of
the world, and you believe it's passing you by", are you serious.
Are you talking about higher education, celebrating your child birthday and
no one lost their head, not knocking on doors to sale your religion or just
growing up like a regular teenager.
Please tell us what desires are you talking about??????
if you are a non-believing relative or spouse who is hostile to their doctrine are you an apostate?
if you studied with them and rang the logical fallacy buzzer for chits and giggles to see how they would react does this make you an apostate?.
if you are a born in who never got baptised does this make you an apostate?.
