  Pets aren't people, says speaker at Regional Convention. Fido and Mimi better watch out! And instead of drinking wine or beer go do some gardening or play golf.

  a big discussion driving back from the regional convention about what exactly was meant about pets.. the warning was obvious to me.

  don't get pets, they cost time and money and you would do better to spend your time and money supporting the organization and going in field service.. as to the wine and beer, because the bro during his soliloquy admitted that the first thing he would like to do is relax after a hectic day at work with a glass of wine or beer, his conscience was traumatized.

  however he came up with a perfect idea, he'd go tend the garden (obviously a solution for a married bro) or hit some golfballs at the driving range (maybe he's not married).. maybe jesus should have told the wine guzzlers at cana to sober up and go till the fields.. .

  WT Study, Sunday 6th July 2014.

  it might be the way i think and see, but the first time i looked at the image on pg 27 of the april 15th watchtower i was trying to figure out how it applied to this study.

  this is a darkened black and white image that appears in my edition of this magazine, (its colour online).

  anyway, para 9 talks about a brother that had an issue with looking at online porn.

  Drug addicts and Christianity

  by free2beme in

  i will make this clear, i am not a christian (but i am a former jw).

  i have noticed a trend among christians and something i wanted to discuss.

  it is that those with the strongest faith, the deepest emotional connection to hope and swallow the stories of the bible the deepest.

  have you ever been to a circus and seen a "clown car"?.

  She is Going to Talk to the Elders About My Questions...What Should I Expect?

  by HeyThere in

  so one of my in-laws, a born in dub, started asking me questions about the issues i am having with the religion.

  so i told her, rather carefully, how i discovered all the child pedophile cases, went over some of the case details, explained it is occurring all over the world, so isn't just some random misunderstanding, but is widespread hiding of child sex u all abuse.

  she was horrified.

  Jgnat & Alpha...it is a long story, I posted a bit about it before, but we had almost gotten divorced because of his addictions and other behaviors...There are some other things going on with him and his sobriety and depression. That is why he returned, and also why I am backing off for now after having a long talk with him. He is dealing with his own issues and because I know he is getting so much support from his family and the congregation now, I know he needs it, and as long as he is treating me and the kids right then right now I don't want to cause problems for him. If the congregation starts to treat me badly, he may wake up a bit. He really doesn't think that will happen.

  God's Kingdom Rules!

  by HeyThere in

  that book is just as insane as the others...and focuses on building why 1914 is the year, while glossing over the failed prophesies.

  yet, my husband thinks it answers many of the questions i had.

  The chart on page 26-27 is almost humorous if I didn't know how blindly people are believing it.

  I think that religion can be harmless when it motivates people to truly live better, stop drugs, be nicer, help people, etc. But wtbts is just so dirty and taking such care to emotionally manipulate people to the society's maximum advantage. There is fraud going on here that is protected by religious freedom.
