1999! What an orgasmic celebration of hedonism. "Baby, you're much too fast." Always made me feel like dancing, even on my worst days. x

Lets hear what your local needs was about this week

by dbq407 in

ours started out with matt.

25:23. he brought out that "good and faithful slave" was talking about the anointed but wait for it.........yes the principle can be applied to our cong.

well tonight it was about getting all the territories worked once a year.

talesin

don't we want to be called "good and faithful slave"?

No, we want to be called "free".

The whole concept is flawed, and they accept it. I just . don't. get it - and never did. Phew, thank the IPU!

what sort of reactions have you gotten when talking to other jw when telling them the "truth about the truth"?

by AmIright in

its funny ive read some stories on here about how they have become so infuriated by what logic dictates as being true and their own denying of it because it completely screws up their belief and shows how hypocritical it is xd some look like a nuclear reactor about to blow xd.

share you experiences here :) .

It's only been my parents. Their denial had that extra sprinkling of guilt ... "our perfect daughter and now she is a filthy hippy and mentally diseased apostate ,,, and she's divorced, the HORROR! It's just not the done thing in our family." But I am the crazy one, not them.. oh no.

I'm with Calvin & Hobbes on this one.

As far as the fam is concerned, I destroyed their Pleasantville.

Any thought behind your " Avatar"

i think that's the correct phrase?

anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.

now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

Stan livedeath - ahaha! I love that license plate; must show my flatmate. And I am so bad at anagrams, that is gonna bug the hell out of me.

Great topic!

Everyone is Equal in God's Loving Organization

by new boy in

jw
friends

they said we are all the same in god’s eyes.

that everyone is equal.

to prove this they call everyone “brother and sister.” sadly, this really isn’t the case.

Re-reading the OP, I found something that is so true, and to have it 'institutionalized', unspeakably evil ....

Children don't rank, they are possessions.

earlier i posted about my loveless marriage.

i was baptized at a very young age, and during that time period i was having sex.yes i made a dedication knowing i was still practicing fornication.

i had raging hormones since my youth.

Echoing all the supportive comments - get help, counseling, and learn the truth about 'The Truth' (hint - it's a lie!). There is nothing wrong with being gay, NOTHING. It is nature.

As for "Jehovah", he has a lot of crimes to answer for, including torturing his faithful servant Job, just to settle a bet with Satan! Forget about him, and do some research. : )

Also, are you having safe sex? PLEASE do not expose your spouse to STDs. That would be so very wrong. If you are 'on the down-low' and not using condoms, your wife is at risk, too. ** edit - I see you are now separated, but still, get tested.

The Law of Unintended Consequences

by Londo111 in

the governing body/watchtower unduly influences millions into extreme beliefs and behaviors.

and i suspect folks like anthony morris thinks his flock is not obedient or strict enough and there are many rules and teachings the governing body would love to enact but do not have the votes, or even they have the sense enough to know it would go too far.

however, i can’t help how by the time their edicts filter down to the rank and file jw, it causes unintended consequences.

DIsfellowshipping is a great anti-witness. All who have become close to me, hate the religion, and spread the word about the sexism, child abuse (including child martyrs) and shunning.
