  disgusting comment made

  so i'm helping out my mother with her garage sale this weekend.

  kinda boring sitting around in the heat (although i can't complain too much since we were in a nice patch of shade and had a decent breeze).

  a "customer" pulls in and my mother quietly whispers to me "isn't that so-n-so's dad (a dub girl i went to school with).

  cruzanheart,

  Since you were still in the womb, who was guilty of repeating what your mother said? Also, just proves to me once again that most witnesses have no understanding or experience in expressing UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!!!!

  jgnat,

  Very interesting point. I never really thought of it exactly like that but it does make sense why my friends, outside of the borg, always seem closer to their parents than the ones in.

  Unfortunately, for myself, I can relate to most of what everybody has said here!!!

  Be Wise,

  I think your approach was good. Even though we don't realize it when we are young, negative thoughts are what we hate!!!! Positive thoughts are what we love!!! When we are in a JW family, as a young person, we don't realize the negative effect on us, since it is not contrasting to anything else. The org. makes certain that there is no comparison!!!!

  Don't make any drastic attempts to save your nephew, but continue with POSITIVE, KIND encouragement. I'm not big on a god figure myself, but believe very strongly that TRUE, GENUINE GOOD DEEDS are rewarded, and I'm certain yours will be.

  Laws to Protect the Stupid People

  by tyydyy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you ever noticed how many laws there are to protect the stupid people?

  take the seat belt law for instance, smart people know to buckle themselves in.

  we are now interfering with evolution by protecting stupid people from themselves.

  Totally embarrassed to be a Canadian right now

  by Lady Lee in

  2. friends

  i am listening (interpret to mean - hurting my ears and senses) to the canadian juno awards.

  i know i am considered old by many on the board here but this stuff is just awful - off key - no recognizable tune - no intelligible words.

  canada has some awesome talent.

  Oh, come on, are we supposed to hate all Canadian entertainers now? Avril Lavigne is a prodigy, whether I or you like it or not. Shania is still great. If you want to find an excuse to hate something, look where the majority is looking....... THE WAR against ..... who again?.... oh yeah the weakest/2nd wealthiest oil nation on earth... GEEZ .... Lady Lee.... do you really think things have changed since you were young? I'm 34, and although slightly envious, if I had the ability or talent, I'd be in the exact same spot.......

  Know what makes me terribly sad about some on these forums?

  by Derrick in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find something very distressing not to mention terribly sad about some of you people (and to those who are not one of these people i kindly ask to please don't fly into some "i'm so insulted!

  " snit as if i'm wrongfully referring to you).

  to those people i'm referring to i say: you rightfully hope for the british and u.s. military to destroy that saddam monster and its minions of mass-murdering/worshippers throughout iraq.

  William Penwell and Simon,

  You both make very valid points.

  Simon: evil to JW's is a person that disagrees with them..... the only differentiating factor is the degree that they will enforce it. I have studied it after having gone through it and the same results have come up.!!!!!!!

  William Penwell: Neither can I believe that a loving God has, in any way contributed to the silly stuff existing on this earth. I have heard the JWs' and every other conceivable possibility, and it all comes back to one thing: WE BLAME GOD FOR ANY OF OUR SHORCOMINGS!!!!!!!

  As long as we BLAME other people/(spirits) for our imperfections, then we will inevitably fall short of our potential.

  JT, isn't it funny how ironic that is?

  My family finds me to be so potentially a negetive influence on them that even though I am going through a divorce and my wife is keeping my kids away from me unfairly, THEY STILL WON'T TALK TO ME!!!!!! And yet, other than the shunning thing I am but a speck of dust on the ground.

  Yet another example of the COMPLETE HYPOCRISY of the JW organization!!!!

  Anybody else have any ideas?

  I'm writing a book and as a part of my book I would like to list my personal records with the borg. However, I have had no success so far getting the records from the WBTS. I live in Canada and they were brutal to deal with. The headquarters in Brooklyn were nicer, but could that possibly be because they knew that I had no chance of making their life difficult, since they are in a different country altogether?

  Has anybody here gotten the records, (service report, disfellwshipping records, etc.) from the org. before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks, Brad

  Unsure and Uncertain faith...

  by Gig in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have to wonder...while the living word of the bible says that faith is being sure and certain of things unseen, the wts relies so heavily and is so successful promoting the "earthly-visible org".

  any thoughts itching ears?

  Interesting question Gig!!!

  I have said to my JW family members, whenever they mentioned that I need "faith in Jehovah". I've always said read where the Bible gives the explanation and when you can explain it to me, then we'll talk.

  I'm still waiting............... Brad
