  Self love

  by Cath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is there anyone out there who remembers being taught by the wt that love of the self was sinful?

  if so will you please point me to a piece of literature which contains that teaching, preferably a scan if possible.

  i have a vague memory of hearing something along those lines as a child and don't know if it was part of jw teaching or just something my family taught us.

  Thank you and goodbye.

  i have been coming to this forum since around september 2001 and although i haven't had much to say i have gained a lot by just coming here and reading.

  i have laughed and cried and got really angry along with posters here and have enjoyed most of my time here.

  now i am moving to the country to be with my daughter and her kids and i won't have internet access there which is a good thing because it will get me out from behind this screen.

  2. friends

  i thought i'd hit it several times before...as i have been thru the divorce over the past couple of years...lost all my so-called friends...lost my belief in what i thought was the "truth"....and now my own loving daughter, being the good little dub she is has told me she doesn't want me to walk her down the aisle at her wedding.

  she told me today at lunch.

  i almost threw up.

  Fight with daughter

  by Cath in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i don't post too often and this is really hard for me to do but i just have to vent about this.. i have had my answering machine take any incoming calls for the last couple of days because i am really not in the mood for talking to anyone apart from my daughters at this point in time, so i pick up only if it is one of them.. well i picked up tonight as it was my eldest and us being very close i always tell her what is going on in my life/head etc.

  she is a mother herself but never was a jw as i swore i would never force that on my girls or anyone else.

  she thanks me for that because her three children are free of fear and normal well adjusted kids.

  Marrying a cousin

  by A_Revelation in

  1. social
  2. family

  i was wondering if this is seen as wrong in the eyes of jehovah and wether it would produce unusual children.

  i was just interested.

  also wether it is legal in britian (where i live).

  by Sentinel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  please don't be turned off because this is rather creepy and has "reference" only to the occult.

  because the information was found on a website that i got from a post on this forum.

  i was curious.

  Rainbow covenant... a fairy tale?

  by LyinEyes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yesterday evening , after a little rain storm there was the most beautiful rainbow in the sky.

  it reminded me of the promise that god gave that the earth would never be destroyed again by flood.

  so every times it rains , all over the world , you will usually see a rainbow.

  Don't buy into Ray Franz's stumbling block.

  by Bleep in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ray franz wrote, "i was baptized a jehovah's witness in 1972 (three years before armageddon came) and served as an elder for a good number of years.

  all i can say is put franz book to the test for yourself.

  1)he is making money off a dumb idea.. 2)he was expecting 1975 to be armageddon.
