i got an invite from some none j bud family members to go to my little cousins 1 year old birthday party.

this is going to sound weird but in my 40 years of living this is the 1st birthday i've ever attended.

i thoroughly enjoyed it.

Be honest post do all posters on this site believe the bible is 100% or has flaws?

we in the psychology/sociology field have a saying "when people protest too loud usually they are overcompensating".

i did not understand that when i first started studying psychology but now i understand it completely and it is so true.

when i hear someone constantly bashing something or someone such as gay bashing or ethnic bashing or religion bashing sometimes i wonder what are they hiding.

I think I may be in the process of losing some of my previously held adoration. I think generally it is true or at least written in a way that makes a beneficial point but I no longer believe it flows without error or contradiction. That much has become obvious.

I used to believe God protected the sanctity of His word but seeing what the Watchtower has done with their new NWT version has proven to me that He has not protected His word from the ravages of man's many agendas... (or is that "agendi"?)

I have come to the conclusion that the bible is a good starting point for learning the basics but at some point you have to graduate from the rules and regulations and learn how improvise in real life. I also think if you really want to experience the emotion of LOVE for God, stay away from the old testament. I'm content with the gospels at this point - they serve as a reminder that I shouldn't be a dick. Beyond that, I have little use for the book.

) why do animals suffer and die?.

) if this is all about god's soverenty, why cause the flood?

how does it prove "man cannot direct their own step" if god immediately turns around and wipes men out for " eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage ?".

What is your organisation currently doing to support victims of abuse?

"We teach them to wait on Jehovah, of course. We encourage them to get out in field service as soon as possible because THAT is where they will find true healing."

i wanted to thank so many who have taken the time and effort to read and recommend captives of a concept over the past decade.. for those who have not seen it, there is an interview on youtube that may have helped some witnesses begin the process of getting the sense of the way the watchtower religion actually works.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5trkrpia-3q.

Perpetuating the Misapplication of1 Peter 2:21

by The Searcher in

just listened on khconf to an elder telling the audience tha christ left us a model to imitate his preaching.. what really was the model he left?

w02 8/15 p. 15 par.

1 follow me continually said this - "jesus christ was by far the greatest teacher ever to walk the earth.

Well... clearly this is the fault of the spirit, AGAIN. The governing body can only dispense what it has been directed to dispense. It's not their fault when things get all jumbled and confused.

I believe eventually they will be forced to hand over those files and some one at a senior level will have to take the witness box.

What I don't understand is why they weren't forced to hand them over WHEN ORDERED. If the court in San Diego has enough jurisdiction to order a 501(c)(3) in New York to pay 13 million in damages then how the hell does it not have the jurisdiction to send in officers to arrest those in violation or, at the very least, force compliance?

If a local judge ordered me to provide a document or appear in court and I refused, I would be in handcuffs before the sun went down.

Maybe I just don't know enough about how all this works. Or is this just another example of U.S. government's lack of spine when dealing with religion?

by sylvlef in

yesterday local needs was this theme.

are you spiritually grown up.. summary: if you are between 18-35 and not ms or elder, you lazy idiot are like a child.

at this age, especially if you grew up in "da trooooth" you have no issue with jw.org doctrine right (how do you know...?

The old elders are old and the young bloods aren't interested in replacing them. Insinuating that a lack of interest in climbing the ladder is an identifying mark of immaturity is a pathetic attempt to rustle someone's jimmies.
