of course, we don't share all views in common.
unless i'm mistaken, however, we older, former jws were decisive about what our "bible-trained consciences" would allow -- or not.
Astrologer Neil Spencer denounced the lyrics as "astrological gibberish", noting that Jupiter aligns with Mars several times a year (which doesn't make sense either, since Mars' orbital year is 687 days) and the moon is in the 7th House for two hours every day.[6] These lines are considered by many[who?] to be merely poetic license, though some people take them literally.

masturbation is not sinful, unclean, or wicked.
How does the man NOT think about certain matters? it is actually fairly much "hard-wired" into the male psyche. For me the personal issue is how I deal with it in my own head. And the sight of a lovely bronzed female form walking along a sunny beach is one of the joyful things in life.
So now perhaps WT must demand that all sisters wear 'Islamic" Burkini's when swimming so that men are not going to catch a 'leak' at night or 'worse'...................................put their hands down below.........
i've been out almost 2 years now and consider myself wide awake to watchtower propaganda and well on my way to recovery from the mental abuse we've all experienced.. one thing that just will not go is that i constantly think of jwism and watchtower and get myself all annoyed at their lies and blatant twisting of facts in their broadcasts and magazines.
it's so bad that it's the first thing i think of when i wake up, then i have these mental arguments in my head proving the jw teachings false and then getting annoyed because no jw will listen even if you tried to tell them.
i call this constant thinking and mental reasoning and mental arguing "mindchatter".
Quite a problem for moi !
Along with my anger issues toward JWBorg -
i've come across a jw friendly article about watchtower predicting smartphones in the 20s.. .
of course, in the comments section there are a lot of jws freaking out saying "there is no doubt that this is the only true organization!
", "thanks jehovah that used his faithful and discreet slave to tell us some useful information about the future!
is this true?
is this really true?!.

to the person who reported me to the elders from here - thank you for making me be able to leave the organisation a whole lot easier and sooner than i'd planned.
you did me a huge favour 😊.
Well ..................who reported you ? Someone who joined here or someone who found you hanging around here?
If the former then let us know perhaps? Which post /s proved your undoing and how come? Were you not Anon. at the time?
is this true?
is this really true?!.

does anyone know where i can get a pdf version of this book?
i’ve always wanted a physical copy but those seem really hard to come by, and if you look online they’re super expensive.
thank you.. -jules.
I think you grabbed the bull by its tits re: Banana mans comment .... Day-oh day-ay-ay-oh - give the man a drink o'rum
ok i have been out for over 25 years however i was active for 33 years and every picture /illustration of the 144,000 in wt publications i ever saw always showed the anointed/144000 with jesus on the throne apparently all male with beards.. not one woman was ever depicted in their drawings/illustrations that i ever saw of those sharing kingly rule with christ jesus not one.. and the saying is : 'a picture speaks more than a thousand words".
i can hear a jw apologist saying now [ their is no gender in heaven neither male or female ] well if that is the case why are everybody illustrated wearing a beard clearly a sign of being of the male gender.?.
in the wt illustrations/pictures of angels they are not shown as having beards giving the impression they are neither male or female .however not with those taken to heaven to rule with christ the anointed.. maybe the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses are showing their true feelings about women who claim to be of the anointed .. that the g.b.
Smiddy ........Absolute proof that there are NO Femmes in Heaven !
Revelation 8:1 ......When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
Over and out !
