Anxiety symptoms

by Silvia Plath in

ever since i stopped my study i have gotten completely depressed, unable to sleep, i really depended on my study group to keep me sane and give me purpose but now my bi-polar symptoms have come back with a vengeance.

i thought about going to another church because ruminuating on a creator did help me sleep at night and now i have not slept for four days.

i never realized how much i was becoming dependent on the religious structure.

Children of God

by Silvia Plath in

you guys should check this out.

http://www.movingon.org/.

if you thought you had it bad, here is a cult, that said out in the open at one point that sex should be normalized for children in such a way, that one could participate children in sex and there was nothing wrong with it!

Also on top of the brainwashing, people lived in seperate communes and children who disobeyed were sent to victory camps, where they were beaten and raped.

The funny thing is it sprang out of the whole hippy love drug movement!

There needs to be a more organized effort to fight against the kind of abusive cult activities, any ideas?

Lebanon and Israel

by Silvia Plath in

wow you guys really made me think with the response to my faith topic, i was just arguing with a friend today over israel and invading lebabon and he quoted all the bible scriptures to me trying to show me that, israel were the chosen people of god and how god allowed them to go in and slaughter the canninties (first recorded insident of genocide) including killing small children, and i asked is that what christ jesus died for so god could order the slaughter of babies for the jews?

so you are saying that not only is god a racist, but not a god of love as well?

if god created all of us from the dust why would he love one race more than another?

Silvia Plath

Right on Dude!

maybe that's the one thing the brainwashed cult had right, maybe by accident, if you are pro-nationalism, by nature you are being anti-human being, since supporting the warring acts of nations, is essence pledging to Death and Obediance, rather than Love.

As Buddah says all beings want to live; all fear death, all love life; he who harms another has not learned detachment. "hate never yet dispelled hate, only love dispels hate, this is the LAW" from the buddhist vedas All human beings are brothers and sisters, not just those in a cult, not just jews or Arabs, let go of right and wrong, live in love.

Its not easy; but people must realize that no nation should have carte blanch to start wars just because it has more money and power than its brothers living in poverty around it. That's like the bully complaining that he got picked on because all the other kids he's been beating up for years want to finally get back at him. You have to wonder at this bully's arrogance that he feels he shouldn't have to face the consequence of his actions.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, scientific fact that you don't have to be religous to understand

You want to stop violence, then stop poverty, stop hunger, stop your own religious and nationalistic bigotry, give people something to lose, because those with nothing to lose have everything to Gain, and those people are the most dangerous.; and really who can blame them?

"seek understanding, for then who can you harm?"

JW Dad kills family and commits suicide

by Wordly Andre in

i was talking to a friend about this website and he asked me if i remember a story about a jw family, murder/ suicide, i remember hearing a story about a jw dad killing his wife and his kids, i believe the news said that he stabbed and shot them, and that he may have killed them because his wife was about to divorce him.

it happend in ca and i think it was sometime around 1992-1993, i heard a little about it on the news back then but nothing more after that.

if you know about this story or something like it please post.

People who have no love in thier hearts, but rather serve death and obediance, will always try to rationalize why they serve death and obediance rather than LOVE

"We didn't come to the memorial because it was pagan"

"He was disfellowshipped for a reason, we can't associate with his family"

"let your baby die rather than give him a blood transfusion"

Translation...we do not serve a God of LOVE, but rather maintain our allegiance to the false idol of Death and Obediance. Perfection is death, perfect control is death, not allowing for the organic or creative spritit to foster, or independent thought. Death of the spirit while the body is still living.

Killing and war are wrong on either side, there IS NO CHOSEN PEOPLE, we were all created therefore we are all chosen.

If Israel doesn't want war and bloodshed then why the dispoportionate response, and killing civilians by bombing the Beirut airport? Klling hundreds even thousands because two soldiers got kidnapped?

Funny to die by Nazis only to become them, sort of like the molested becoming the child molester, don't you think?

All must serve death and obediance, our species is suicidal in nature.

We must stop acting like animals and more like human beings

Its just as I thought, if the bible is being used as an excuse for slaughter and death then we must be more judicious about what we glean out of it. There is no "chosen people" we were all created, we know this because we all exist. Jesus Christ brought messages of love and hope that's why the pharisees had him killed, one has to wonder if these old testament christians aren't actually worshippers of not a God of love, but of death and obediance. Since the old testament represents death and obediance, it spawns violence and hatred. There are some things you can feel right about in your heart in mind without picking up a sripture, if we were created in the image of our creator don't you think our sense of right and wrong had been made to guide us? If we spurn our sense of right and wrong to say one nation has an excuse to do something because of thier race, isn't that a very preversion and going against what has been built into us? The creator is inside us. God is love, not death and obediance.Ciritical thinking is a gift, not apostacy.

So you are saying that not only is God a racist, but not a God of love as well? If God created all of us from the dust why would he love one race more than another? And all he could say well because the Bible says so and I said well that's "BULLSHIT!" He went on to say the killing of civilians was justified because Israel is the chosen people so everything they do is justified, so it made me realize the Christians outside of the WTS could be as F-ED up as the ones within it. Maybe the Wild beast will turn on the Whore of Babylon, making the nations drunk on her slaughter, Get out her the bible says; maybe it was a subtle self-indictment about not clinging too tightly to any one truth, or orginization for that matter. Existence itself is a miracle and self-evident proof of a creator, maybe we have to find him within ourselves.

Has being a Jehova's witness totally shattered your faith?

by Silvia Plath in

just because the watchtower society is wrong doesn't mean that there is no god, nor does it mean there is a god.

it would interesting to now how former members have adjusted thier cosmology, or whether they are now atheists and why.

i personally see religion as a more personal matter, rather than belonging to an organization.

My relationship with YHWH is private and uniquely individual, it is a relief not to have it approved through a GB, nor do I feel the need to "convert" anyone else. What they believe is thier business, besides people learn through actions, not brainwashing. By the way has anyone seen this film lambasting the WTS from 1984?
