what happens when you don't believe...?
by Preston ina couple of weeks ago my husband and i had a conversation, and it made me think that even before we started dating i was comfortable with the fact that he had a strong connection with the spiritual.
he takes it (if that?s the right expression) a bit further than most people though.
he has told me that he believes in ghosts, elves, faeries (?the little people silly), santa claus, the easter bunny, the loch ness monster, atlantis, astral projection, alien abductions, zeus, athena, telekinesis, voodoo, santa ria, astrology, reiki, and communicating with aliens that reside on the pleiades.

Without Evil, there cannot be Good...
by ohiocowboy inmost of us have heard the above expression, and when one thinks about it, the statement is undeniably true...without evil, there cannot be good-and vice-versa.. consider this, after the 1,000 years in paradise, once satan is set free for a short time to try to cause havoc, and is then completely done away with, what would "paradise" be like then?
since there would supposedly no longer be any evil, how would the perfect utopian society claim to be good?
you can't have one without the other.. would the people become emotionless, brain-dead, robotified zombies?

problems with jw daughter-in-law
by QCA1 ini haven't been here in awhile and i'd like to say hi once again.. i have written what i am about to tell once posted it and it disappeared,must have hit the wrong button.so here i go again.
over a period of time my grandson who is 15 has been making regular contact to my youngest son (who is his uncle)they talk about what teens talk about,football and music,cal my grandson has also been allowed to stay over once in a while,which i might add surprised me a little,you know staying with his worldly gran, his mum is a jw and my eldest son cals dad is almost one you could say.. anyway since cal has been staying over at our house he has opened up about a lot of things none that were instigated by me i must add.he said he dosen't want to be a jw he hates it and his mum and dad have been hitting him quite hard.i believe him because his mum has always been heavy handed since he was a young baby,i did threaten her once after i heard she had knocked cal to the floor hitting him when he was about 3yrs because he said ' oh god ' has kids do sometimes,my young daughter was there at the time and she told me.
not long after that they left the village,after sometime normality resumed with our family and we got back on speaking terms.. cal has always been rebellious and i know his mum has always hit him and now he is 15 he is questioning more and fighting back so i quess he is in more trouble.then about a month ago my young son had a distressing phone call from cal he was sobbing and asking if he could come and stay he had some clothes packed so i spoke with cal and asked if he had been hit again and he said yes very hardbecause he forgot to say a prayer before the meal and his mum lashed out at him.

New Light and Tacking in the wind
by Hondo ini am not and never have never been a jw, nor do i intend to be, but for personnel reasons have become interested in their beliefs and practices of, as seeminly bizzare as they are.. the similar doctrinal change examples of new light, and of a sail boat tacking in the wind, to provide justification for their continual changes, when they occur, confuses me somewhat.
if the jw's believe that the "end" is just around the corner, or "soon" as one will probably tell you, is the light at its brightest at this point in time; does the sail boat reach port?
is there a "last light" that may indicate in some way, shape, or form, when the end will take place?

What one thing would you like to vent?
by MelbaToast inmine is my mom.. ii dont know where to start and dont know where to end.
therapy sessions later, i am still at a loss.
i think that a parent is someone who loves and protects you from harm, doesnt shame or bribe you to make you into "a perfect pioneer".

I have no choice..I must study with my kid
by Jez inmy ex is a devout jw and is very very sly in what he says to our 9 year old.
she went to the assembly with him this weekend and he made her stand over by the baptism and said, "that will be you someday won't it sweetheart.
" or if she says, "but dad, all religions worship the same god, jw's are no different.

Problems with JW daughter-in-law
by QCA1 ini haven't been here in a long time so i'd like to say hi again.. i do want to share something with you if i may.
over a period of time my grandson who is 15 has been allowed to come over and stay with us as my yougest son is his uncle who is 16 they got on so well together talking football and rapping music.he would phone my son on a regular basis,and then his mother said he could stay over sometimes.the more he stayed with us the more he opened up about what was happening to him at home,he told me he didn't want to be a jw and was always rebellious towards it this i always knew.he is only allowed out with jw friends he he is monitered whilst on his computer and when he phoned my son his mum or dad(my eldest son)were always present.so he wasn't allowed a private phone call,my grandson told me that his mum and his dad were hitting him really hard and on several occasions he wanted to leave home.. i listened intently and felt sad and disappointed that he was being treated in this way as his dad was never treated that way as a child.my eldest son married a jw girl and after a few years i saw the change in him.
my daughter-in-law however is a control freak and she was hitting my grandson when he was a toddler as i threatened her once i would report her, not long after they moved to another area.. time went by and normality resumed.anyway,my grandson was telling me that his mother is bombarding him about armageddon and that if he dosen't conform he will die with no hope,he said nan i don't really believe that.
