  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been out of the jws officially for over 3 years now, since disassociating.

  after researching the history of the organization and reading the bible (without) the watchtower, i am now a christian.

  i am just curious what happens to most ex-jws as far as their beliefs go, after they leave the organization.

  To quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in the Beatles, I just believe in me."

  Works for me.

  Stilla, how about Indy? What the heck were they doing out there, that was not the offensive juggernaut we have seen all season, Manning looked lost, same thing with Brady who is usually anything but lost.

  I remember getting into chess in Junior High only to find out it was yet another thing I wasn't allowed to do. Thinking back, I'm trying to remember anything I was allowed to do growing up in the borg.

  I like it for two reasons, one to deal with my family that is still in, knowing what sort of whacked out stuff they are being fed, two its a sick fascination, like watching a train wreck in slo mo.

  The Toes of the Image...

  by drew sagan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a few weeks ago some visiting speakers wife gave a comment that almost made me want to hurl.

  these people are know for having "goods" in the form of info passed along from people at bethel.

  anyway, i guess one of these bethel guys have been saying in their talks that we are so deep into the end of this system that in relation to the giant image related in the book of daniel, we are now not simply in the peroid of time represented by the feet, we are in its toes!

  Being sexually virtuous, useful or a waste of time?

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you think there is any benefit at all in being virtuous sexually, ie foregoing sexual gratification, or is it a total waste of time and effort as our atheist friends would say?

  is there anything to be gained by it, would you find a virtuous person a more trustworthy partner for example?

  does it make for more stable marriages?

  Funky,

  I had been out for quite sometime when I heard about the doctrine change, I was excited as I waited for the rest of my family to see the light and make an exodus, I'm still waiting unfortunately.

  But for you, a very happy anniversary indeed!

  "Amish Paradise"As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
  I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
  But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
  You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
  At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows
  Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool
  And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
  Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
  I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
  Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
  But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
  Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699
  
  We been spending most our lives
  Living in an Amish paradise
  I've churned butter once or twice
  Living in an Amish paradise
  It's hard work and sacrifice
  Living in an Amish paradise
  We sell quilts at discount price
  Living in an Amish paradise
  
  A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
  I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek
  I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
  'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
  But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved
  An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
  I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
  And my homies agree, I really look good in black...fool
  If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears
  We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
  But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
  We're just technologically impaired
  
  There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar
  Not a single luxury
  Like Robinson Caruso
  It's as primitave as can be
  
  We been spending most our lives
  Living in an Amish paradise
  We're just plain and simple guys
  Living in an Amish paradise
  There's no time for sin and vice
  Living in an Amish paradise
  We don't fight, we all play nice
  Living in an Amish paradise
  
  Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
  Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise anoder
  Think you're really righteous? Think you're pure in heart?
  Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
  I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
  On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife
  So don't be vain and don't be whiny
  Or else, my brother, I might just have to get medieval on your heinie
  
  We been spending most our lives
  Living in an Amish paradise
  We're all crazy Mennonites
  Living in an Amish paradise
  There's no cops or traffic lights
  Living in an Amish paradise
  But you'd probably think it bites
  Living in an Amish paradise
