  she is michal, her father acts like saul, and i'm david.. i do care for her since she's vulnerable and weak, i consider myself for her protector a personal kevin kostner.but this is very time consuming, nerve wracking endeavour.. she acts childish, insensitive and insecure, i have spent *** dont' know how many sleepless *** nights, in the last 3 months we're playing cat and mouse, cold and warm & i'm fed up.. this kind of irresponsible behaviour is not yet written in the manual for me to look for an answer.. but finally i do know what i need.

  Masons, Tomas Jefferson, Jesus, ancient Egyptian religion, Russell

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i believe the masons we're anti christs, tomas jefferson i read even wrote a bible leaving out anything to do with jesus because these masons new the christ was just a retelling of older god's, some of these gods being from the egyptian religion.. russell was said to be a mason and it's interesting that he traveled to egypt to confirm some of his beliefs.

  then after he returns home his religion becomes more like that of the ancient egyptian religion then probably any other christians sect.

  like the egyptians the jws believe in a two class system one class goes to heaven to be with god, just like the pharaoh's and the other rank and file class goes to a paradise called the field of reeds.

  NN, you are sounding like H_S. : P

  (I've realized that a lot of people access through their phones, and that would make searching difficult - home internet is very expensive, almost $100/month here.)

  Crazyguy - a lot of people think that Russell was a Mason, because of the pyramid near his grave, and the weird pyramid and masonic stuff on the cover of the early literature. He *did* hang out with them, and I too, think he was a wannabe Mason.

  There's lots of threads on the forum about that very thing. xx tal

  Y can't blame them they are neglected hence immature.

  Most JWS have arrested development, on both a social and emotional level. Boys are just as immature, and tend to have a 1950s attitude towards women.

  This is not about blame - It's the reality of your situation; that is, being one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

  We may have interbred with Neanderthals earlier than previously thought.

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is now thought that we have been interbreeding with neanderthals as early as 100,000 years ago.. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35595661.

  craziest thing i just realized: some women still breed with neanderthals up to this day.

  rihanna and chris brown anyone?.

  Charlie Sheen is the one who pops into my head, actually. But maybe you are thinking of Troglodytes, not Neanderthals. : P

  A lot of JW girls play with boys' feelings. It's the only power they have. Much of the time, they don't even realize they are doing it.

  Reality is not always 'nice'.

  What makes a WORLD famous musician?

  by The Rebel in

  2. friends

  my brother attended a college for those who " f..led" up at school and got a second chance to do the exams.

  anyway george michael and andy ridgley, were two of those fu..k ups, and my brother was quite friendly with both.

  as a result i met george and andy before they found fame with wham.. geri hallaway ( spice girl) also came from watford when she grew up and was a friend of my sister ( her mum a j.w) and i once spoke with geri on the phone when she rang asking to speak with my sister.

  I knew one famous musician, Kevin MacMichael, UK band Cutting Crew, and collaborated (writing, producing, performing) with Robert Plant for one album. (on the ax in the vid below). He was my friend's (abusive) husband. Are the rich different? Hell yeah - convicted of wife beating 3 times, and never spent an hour in jail.

  My best friend is uber talented. He can play over 4,000 songs and has written close to 140. He is anti-establishment, and has never 'worked for the man'. After obtaining his BA Hon. in American History, decided to travel. He is a busker, and went to every province & territory in Canada, and every state in the continental USA, by playing his guitar.

  [EDIT: the music business - says it all; it's all about who you know, and do they find you 'marketable' - occasionally, real talent breaks through.]

  I like artists, and know a lot of talented people who are musicians, visual artists, writers.

  Oh, and speakig of writers, I knew Spider Robinson, who has won Hugo and Nebula awards. He was a draft dodger, and landed here in the Maritimes in the 1970s. I worked with him for a couple of years. Super guy, and I wrote him an email about 5 years ago. We had a brief correspondence. Nice guy, and I love my hippies!

  There are many gifted people. Few become rich or famous. xx tal

  Trey Bundy: One Year of Reporting JW Child Abuse - Your comments please!

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  http://watchtowerdocuments.org/trey-bundy-one-year-of-reporting-jw-child-abuse/.

  trey bundy: one year of reporting jw child abuse.

  it’s been one year since trey bundy first reported the watchtower’s child abuse problems.. twelve months ago the center for investigative reporting (cir) began publishing information about jehovah’s witnesses and their cover-up of child sexual abuse on their website, reveal.

  Trey,

  Since Ms. Anderson first posted an item from Reveal, I have listened to several of the programs. Great work, and wow, it's simply, impressive. I'm happy that someone like yourself, and Reveal, would focus on the JW. It's time the truth was told. Few journalists (let alone those who are at the top of their field) want to bother with the JWS - it's not been the easiest subject to research. There is so much secrecy, and they have such a 'good rep' in the eyes of most people, that's it is hard to get the stories told.

  So, a big shout-out and thank you from Canada. xx

  A direction to wholesome living is possible without either.

  Punk's motto: Live hard, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse.

  I wouldn't go quite that far, but I have worked hard, partied like a rock star when I was younger, and my only regret is smoking. Happy to say that I am now a quitter, HOORAY! It's an horrible addiction.

  _____________________________________

  So, to the OP.

  Your post gives lots of critique about the WTS, but you really don't explain how you got sucked back in. Do tell.

  Evolution and Atheism - please help

  by Fernando in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not being familiar with either, my question is:.

  what is the relationship between evolution and atheism?.

  i'd love to hear from anyone and everyone, and also from any perspective.. without limiting the conversation in any way, i would of course also appreciate comments that are simple, clear, direct and correct (as i don't have the capacity to do a phd in evolution or atheism)..

  Yes, those darn philosophers! They should all rot in hell!

  Especially Socrates. I mean, Socratic Method? Give me a break! As if, philosophy has ever made any valid contributions to the world, and especially to science. Puh-leez!

  * cough, cough Scientific Method cough, cough *

  Toasting is Pagan - How many contradictions can fit in 2 pages, I found 5?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower 2007 feb 15 pp.30-31 explains why jehovah's witnesses are not to toast.

  what is astounding is that for each point they then go on an explain why the point is irrelevant, yet still conclude toasting is wrong.

  what did people think when reading this?

  The idea of God itself is a pre-eminent pagan concept. The primitive folk explanation for the reason of the world's being is that a god made it and us.

  BAZINGA! gotta love that one. A JW would reply "But Israelites descended directly from Adam, and they worshipped Jehovah back then". arrggghhh!

  Puppy, that was a great point. Here's to Jesus! *clink*
