Maybe this curse in Genesis 6:3 wasn't meant for the few descendants of Noah.

Maybe it was an exception to the few after the flood.

Genesis 11 tells of the long genealogy between Shem and Abrams where almost

every person mentioned lives longer than 120 years.

But i agree with "ttdtt", it's all BS....

My question why a 120 years when "Supposedly" man was living 900 years.

Hell that would be like God cursing mankind today, your days will be 5 years and you

will kick the bucket. Thanks God you are a likable guy.

Lots of weirdos among the jw's

by wannaexit in

jw
friends

i found this little jem this morning .

it's a little dated but describes the self-proclaimed jesus of nazareth by the name of a.j miller.

he was raised in the jw religion and was also an elder and pioneer.

There are true Holy weirdness, like dancing with snakes weird, but to truly follow and

obey Jesus, you will strike the world as being weird,odd, possibly even a bit unstable.

What "normal" person seeks to fight against sexual lust? What "normal" person stakes

all their hope on living here on earth and playing with meat eating animals and millions

of people will die so they can have their paradise.

JW's are not Holy weirdness like dancing with wolves weird , they are in the oddness category.

Many here have left the organization and when we look back, we were weird as hell to our worldly friends

and our non-JW family members, good people but strange.LOL

Why is it so hurtful to be shunned? Why object to it?

by stuckinarut2 in

it seems like many feel hurt or saddened by the practice of shunning by witnesses.. yes, when ones who we were close to, perhaps family or ones we thought were close friends choose to follow the warped directions of the society, it may seem hurtful.. but really, our reaction is up to us.

the fact is, these ones have shown that in reality, their love for us was never real or genuine.

no, those relationships were superficial and lacking in substance.

zeb: My JW family members are like the God of the OT....

I just saw my daughter after 15 years.

Family contact in terminal illness cases.

by Disassociated Lady 2 in

i had not seen my parents for over 15 years since the funeral of my brother and even then no one spoke to me as i was da.

my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2014 and i was then permitted contact with them.

i now know the reason that this is allowed.

James Mixon

steve2: like, I saw brother 80 year old celebrating Xmas in the senior home.

Elders: Oh no we can't have that. By the way who is the brother, doesn't matter.

We will put a stop to this. Was he in our congregation, anyone knows him????

Question Anointed , If they are too sick or too old to attend the memorial.

by James Mixon in

i never encountered this as a elder, but if one that profess to be of the anointed is too ill to attend the.

the memorial do the brothers take the emblems to the sick??.

in the baptist church( after leaving the borg) i was assign to take the emblems to the sick and shut in on.

In the Baptist church( after leaving the borg) I was assign to take the emblems to the sick and shut in on

the 1st of each month. I don't recall this happening as a JW.

What get me about shunning and my None JW family, my ex- and her husband shows up

at MY JW family members gathering and on vacation she and her husband travail to visit

MY JW family members.We have been divorce over 25 years and I have no idea who my

nephews and nieces are. My sister told me it makes her ill (who never was a JW) when my

JW side of the family have a gathering and my ex and her husband is there.

It was a ugly divorce and I believe the ex is enjoying it. She rarely visit her own family members, none

are JW's...It bugs the hell out of me.....
