  Your thoughts on this letter please.

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is an excerpt from a letter from the society.. jehovah has endowed us with free will.

  as such he has implanted in us the faculty of choice.

  he does not force us to act or think in a certain way, nor does he employ his sevants to do so ( 2 cor 3:17).

  My father just beat my brother-

  by ashitaka in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one more topic.. my wife just called up to tell me that she was over my parents before a doctor's visit, chatting with my mother, when my crazed jw father threw my small 14 year old brother down the stairs and punched him for not wanting to study.. i've been beat, thrown down stairs, had potted plants thrown at me, chased around the house, and such, for not wanting to do the family study.. this is what the "truth" does to people, all you loyal jw's....take note...... (i'm so angry i'm shaking).

  ashi.

  p.s-my father said he was leaving my mother--oh god, pretty please, you motherf**ker.

  To my friends-

  by ashitaka in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't want to spam, but i just wanted to post one more topic tonite.

  i was reading bridgette's post, and was moved, but not just because of what she said...mommy made a comment about us being friends here, and you know what...i feel that way too.. sometimes, even though i have a wife who left the jw's with me, i feel so damn isolated and alone, that i'm the only strong one among a bunch of children, who all fight and tear at each other....this is one place i feel semi-normal again.. it's so hard to befriend people now.

  i have so much trouble talking to people and interacting socially with people, although i've been told i'm agreeable to be around.. i don't know, i'm exhausted from thinking.

  They shun you--Do you love them?

  by ashitaka in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for all who have, are, or will be shunned (which should pretty much be all of us), do you still have a deep love for those who now shun you...now, not familial love, but an active love that yearns for that person's companionship?.

  i have several regrets; one of them is the friends that i've lost.

  how about you guys?.

  wednesday, november 28, 2001 .

  i can remember that prior to my study of the bible i never gave a thought to my conduct and actions.

  that was a concern far from my thoughts.

  LET'S MAKE A LITTLE WAGER

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.

  as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.

  since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.

  Challenges Facing us in the New System

  by stevieb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from time to time some of us may have wondered about the amount of work that we will have to do restoring the post-armageddon world into a paradise.

  think of all that construction and all that clearing up!

  how long is it going to take?.
