  i thought i would let you know that my dad, passed away a little while ago, tonight, january 23. they called me at 6pm to tell me.

  he had been failing rapidly for the past month, and had completely lost his hearing and was totally blind.

  the dementia was extreme too, and he still knew me on thursday, but didn't wake up to know me in the following days.

  What do you believe now?

  by NowImFree in

  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?
