  Funny, but to me it seems like two entities:

  God = Kind, loving, caring, good

  Jehovah = one mean, hateful son-of-a-bitch

  The elders DISCOURAGED my ex from going to marriage counseling. His mother explained that "most counselors only think the Bible is a good book, but we believe it is the absolute authority, blah, blah, blah, blah..." They also didn't do one freaking thing to try to help save our marriage. It's just as well.... somehow I don't know how the lawnmower repair guy, glass factory worker, elders could have helped.

  JWs and making decisions

  by dmouse in

  i was interested in two articles in the watchtower of october 15th 2003.

  both articles give an insight into decision making as a jehovah?s witness.

  i found the juxtaposition of them quite interesting!

  WTF is up with that mutant cat? If this picture is drawn to scale, his tail is about five freaking feet long! Maybe the couple is "going where the need is greater" - - houses built on top of a nuclear waste disposal site???

  Witness Costume Parties?

  by shamus in

  2. beliefs

  does anyone remember a watchtower saying that costume parties were inappropriate for christians?

  i seem to remember that they were labeled in the "deamon" category, even if you had one and it had nothing to do with halloween.. is this true?

  does anyone remember this crap?

  When JW's Marry Jailbirds

  by simplesally in

  i guess because there are so few brothers in the congregations, sisters start writing to brothers that are in prison.

  in prison, these ne'er do wells have no bills, no job to commute to, 3 meals, a bed, free medical insurance and loads of time to read the bible and the wts publications.

  oh my, kinda like bethel.

  I think in reality conjugal visits are a thing of the past. There may be a few exceptions, but I think this is mainly a "movie" concept.

  It is true that in the private sector, most states prohibit "comp time." However, this only applies if the time off is given in a different week than the overtime worked. For the most part, it is perfectly legal for employers to require overtime on several days per week, then send employees home early on other days to avoid working over 40 hours in that week.

  First of all, I always hated the concept that God is so demanding. If he can read what is in our hearts and minds, why is kneeling in prayer so important?

  Also, prayer in itself seems selfish. There are wars raging in third-world countries, people starving every day, children everywhere are suffering at the hands of abusers - - yet, I'm supposed to ask God to take time out of his busy day to help me feel better because I didn't get the promotion I wanted, etc. Utter bullsh-t.
