Cancer tests came back 'normal'

by Ravyn in

so that is a major relief.

still means they don't know what the problem is, but cancer was one of my worst fears.. tomorrow (wednesday, august 27th) is the arbitration in that stupid lawsuit and it will determine the next 20 years of our lives.

mars, the new moon, my energies are pretty scattered right now and i am just trying to get thru it an hour at a time.. thank you for all the support you have given me thus far and what you will continue to give.

So So happy Ravyn it is NOT cancer!

The New System of Things - How much longer?

by Nosferatu in

jw

this post isn't about "how much longer until the new system of things" arrives.

i'm wondering how much longer people will buy this load of crap?

the society has been telling the r&f that armageddon is right around the corner for 124 years now, and they're still using this method.

Something all of us on this forum have in common is this: The fear the wt org had brought to us is gone, it no longer exists. So the only way people on the inside will ever fully realize that this new system is nothing more than fantasy is when the fear the organiztion puts upon is completley gone. From there they can be free to think for themselves, to think much more clearer on many different issues.

Is there one thing that convinces you that the JW's are wrong ???

by run dont walk in

doctrines, people, elders, family, beliefs, is there a certain thing that convinces you they are wrong ???.

had a discussion with my mom the other day and she asked "how can you be so sure they are wrong ?".

i picked two topics that i had not talked to her about ( already said the pedophile, un, generation stuff.).

There are many, but if I had to name one thing it would be the utter lack of happiness this religion brings to people. Most within are very unhappy and depressed. Added to this most speak very poorly of one another and backstab their fellow "brothers" saying and doing very mean things to one another. I don't know but I just expected something much more special from something claming to represent to only true God.

The absurdity of petitionary prayer

by logansrun in

of all the neurotic and irrational ideas religion has come up with, the notion that god(s) intervenes in the flow of natural events due to a human's prayer has got to be one of the craziest.

let us illustrate the lunacy of the situation.

you have, in your possession, a serum that will either cure the child or at least lessen his pain.

The world's problems do not exist because we do not know god, but because god doesn't want to know us.

A Gentle Reminder

by COMF in

...or, for those who haven't seen it before, some clarifying information.

if you're an old timer and you saw it before, perhaps you've just forgotten.. at any rate, i thought some of you might have some confusion--and perhaps irritation--put to rest by reviewing this.

scroll down to my post, please.. comf.

Men are not naturally monogamaus. For those who say we are they are just fooling themselves. By the way this is not to say a man cannot be faithful in a monogamaus relationship, it just takes more effort than a woman.
