  I sold my soul for lobster

  by joannadandy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok so my parents big deal has always been while i may not go to meetings they are free to ask about my religious status, and invite me to meetings (i do not have to accept the invitation) as long as i live under their roof.

  my parents other big deal is to go out to lunch after the sunday meeting.

  in fact, they usually say "say, wanna come to the meeting tomorrow?

  Having never been a JW I know my opinion on this is very minor, however I have sat through some boring church meetings (yeah, I know, like that's the same).

  If I were you, and you like'd lobster that much, go ahead and go...do a little spying (and intimidating) to make it interesting. The very second the last "Amen" is sounded, lean over to your parents and say..."Ok, I kept my part of the deal, now how about that lobster?" You can then use the car ride over to the restaurant to bring up some interesting questions about JW's to stir their minds.

  (Just a thought)

  Do wicked spirits prove a creator exists?

  i was in town today and spoke to a woman i knew and to my surprise she told me she was a satanist member,i then discussed things dealing with god,spirit forces,occult etc.this then made me think if theres no god where do these active forces come from,is there really a realm of spirit creatures called demons,she then told me that these forces are very powerful and can harm those who interfere with there operations,also she said they have a vast amount of knowledge at their disposal and can give her information which couldnt be known otherwise.

  but does this prove theres a creator ?

  Why not get her to introduce you to satan

  YIKES!! Pardon me for intruding on your post, but is that wise? If there isn't a satan, no big deal...but if there IS, I don't think I'd want to be introduced.

  I believe it does. But if you want to take it from a 'Logic' perspective, it too would logically 'prove' that a creator exists...opposites, etc. , a yen for a yang, a positive and negative...etc., etc.

  of course, it's MHO

  Women should be silent in the congregation?

  by writerpen in

  2. friends

  okay, since i've been attending a new church, i've had the opportunity to sit on three committees.

  i've gone hog wild and volunteered for everything trying to make up for all the years that i couldn't do anything as a female in the kh.

  anyway, last night i stirred the shit in one of the meetings by voicing my opinion on how something in the church is run.

  About 90% of everything in this thread that seems "spooky", could easily be manufactured in your minds,

  Yeah, but even if that's correct, that still leaves 10% unexplained....

  there comes a time when everyone needs a break.

  that time has come for me.

  i enjoy corresponding with one and all, but due to having so many other things to do; i feel the need to get busy doing them.

  Question from a newbie

  by scorpionking in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello everybody.... i was disfellowshipped about 8 years ago at the age of 19.i was raised in the truth by my mother.my father was a non-believer.i willfully left of my own free will.to this day i still believe it's the truth.i've got a question for all you doubters...if the wts was truly in it just for the money,then why the hell would they be so strict?

  ?if they wanted millions upon millions of members,then why not loosen up the requirements a little?

  ?why not allow gays like other churches?to me,the fact that the organization is growing with requirements as strict as they are says something.and about the child abuse issue...remember ancient israel had some pretty corrupt priests and leaders but jehovah still claimed them as his people.just because the elders fuck up doesn't mean the whole organization is bad,right?anyway if you ask me i place the blame on the abused kids' parents and the elders.why the hell didn't the parents go to the police?fuck the elders.i'll tell you what...if i was in the truth again and a witness touched my 5 year old daughter the last place i would go would be to the elders.i'd be headed straight for my gun cabinet or the police.any thoughtful answers would be appreciated.

  The reason I believe it's the truth is cuz no other religion or philosophy satisfactorily answers questions I have like: "why are we here? why are things getting worse and worse? why are there so many wars? why are people so miserable and depressed? why are families falling apart? why do we yearn for peace and living forever ?"

  There are other religions that answer those questions too...your universe has been too small and closed.... how will you know unless you seek...

  Can Non-Jehovah's Witness Resurrect?

  by ApostleJon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a question on resurrection after christ's 2nd coming... let say that some of my family has passed away without any knowledge of jw gospel or whatever in this case.

  can they resurrect and join us in the paradise to live forever?

  can they decide that they have nothing to do with jw but profess that they believes in christ and live in paradise with all of us?

  JW Gospel doesn't mean zip. What counts is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and unlike the "JW Gospel" His is inclusive, not exclusive....so the answer to your question is YES...you will be with all your family in the resurrection.... God loves families and wants them to be together, not apart...that was the 'message' of the Redeemer and Saviour.

  Golden Girl:

  Years ago, when I was 19, I had the same experience...head on car collision...everything just S L O W E D down...went thru the windshield, people thought I was dead (I wasn't)...did't see any 'light' or 'tunnel' though.

  But the slow down experience was very real and very weird that even today it is very vivid to me.
