Toer....since you are so sure it's "the truth" can I ask "Why are you here then"?
I'm not saying you don't have a right to post here...so please don't think I'm trying to run you off. But if you REALLY, TRULY believed it....why are you here?

Still....if you don't have the money for counseling....start doing some research and reading. A library card is free and promise youself to spend 1/2 hour a day reading / researching on guilt, religions, belief systems, cults, etc. You shall find the answers you are looking for within yourself and various books, tapes, videos you can get at the library may help you bring these feelings to the fore.

The programming at work Toer.
JW's love to give the impression that the only reason people leave the Borg is because they "can't live up to the standards". Ha Ha
What a joke. They do this so you can feel superior about yourself, yet also make you feel extremely guilty when you fall short of the glory of God.
The funny thing is....the folks here care more about your spirituality than any JW's do. Hey if you want to be a Witnoid...knock yourself out. But you refused to answer my question.....HONESTLY HOW MANY HOURS HAVE YOU SPENT RESEARCHING OTHER RELIGIONS AND BELIEF SYSTEMS? Are you afraid learning about other's beliefs will undermine your own beliefs somehow? Did Jesus not implore his follows to hold things up to the light and challenge your thinking?
Why do you think the JW's are so adamant about not allowing their followers to read any religious material outside of the WTBS? What do they have to hide? -

Hey Def'd maybe you ought to follow the bible in this regard:
Matthew
"There be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." Dangerous words from a guy who recommends cutting of body parts if they cause you to sin (Mt.5:29-30, Mt.18:8-9, Mk.9:43-48). It might make someone castrate himself so that he could be one of the 144,000 male virgins, who alone will make it to heaven (Rev.14:3-4). 19:12 -

I take that back the bible answers lots....like:
Deuteronomy
If you see a pretty woman among the captives and would like her for a wife, then just bring her home and "go in unto her." Later, if you decide you don't like her, you can "let her go." 21:11-14
If a man marries, then decides that he hates his wife, he can claim she wasn't a virgin when they were married. If her father can't produce the "tokens of her virginity" (bloody sheets), then the woman is to be stoned to death at her father's doorstep. 22:13-21
If a betrothed virgin is raped in the city and doesn't cry out loud enough, then "the men of the city shall stone her to death." 22:23-24
If a woman is raped in the country, then only the man shall die (since there was no one to hear her if she cried out.) 22:25
If a man rapes an unbetrothed virgin, he must pay her father 50 shekels of silver and then marry her. 22:28
You can't go to church if your testicles are damaged or your penis has been cut off. 23:1
God lays down the law regarding wet dreams. "If there be among you any man that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night ..." 23:10
If a man dies without having a child, his brother shall "go in unto" his dead brother's wife. If he refuses, the dead man's wife is to loosen his shoe and spit in his face. 25:5-10
If two men fight and the wife of one grabs the "testicles" of the other, "then thou shalt cut off her hand" and "thine eye shall not pity her." 25:11-12
Look at all the fine answers we can find JUST in the book of Deuteronomy. -

The bible answers nothing.
Funny Def'd here's a person going to meetings yet not getting any spiritual food at the appropriate time from the Faithful Fraud Class.
You are afraid of the future and afraid of death because you are not living your life. You need to start living your life YOUR WAY, with YOUR CHOICES, and these anxieties will start melting away. Any organization that uses guilt as a control technique has no answers....they use fear to paralyse you. You are what 22? Time to start living your life your way before you piss away a few more years trying to live your life for someone else. -

Do you believe in Karma? Why or why not?
by AlmostAtheist ini haven't read up on it, and my only exposure to it is a few people that say they believe in it.
correct my amateurish view of it, please.. karma is the overriding force in the universe that keeps the good/evil scales in balance.
if you do something rotten, you'll get something rotten back on you.

I have no idea what congo he goes to, but my hall was 15 shades of white. I'm bi-racial yet pretty light skinned and I was the darkest kid for about 40 mile radius.
