My feeling is that if the jovielanders are attempting, and succeeding, to control people's lives to this extent, then it's long past the time to tell the evil 2@s where they can stick their control shyte.
if we look at all doctrines, we see an overall effort to conserve unity and control.
- assuming most birthdays, if allowed, would probably be oriented to children, then that means 40 celebrations per year.
so all in all, this give a total potential attendance to a birthday of 30 families (120 attendance / 4 family members).

i can understand why someone who was born of jovie parents would want to leave jovie world.
i can see why someone who had joined jovie world would want to leave.
after all, why would you want to stay in such an evil institution?.

I like the name Jovie World. Yes it's belittling. But so is the made up word "Jehovah".
My apologies, I spelt your name wrongly earlier.
It's not just the name 'jehovah' that they made up. If it was only the name, then there would be no issue. It's what came with it ...
How can Man be so stupid?

It amazes me how people are so easily offended by terms like Jovie world and religitard.
What puzzles me is that they believe in some sky wizard nonsense and disrespect Mankind and then get all uptight when people refer to them as jovies. What do they expect?

Yes, particularly as they can also choose not to be offended.
draw any jw's attention to watchtower's history of false predictions and invariably, somewhere down the line of the conversation, the jw will tell you that watchtower never claimed to be an inspired prophet and therefore cannot be accused of being a false prophet.
but is it really true that watchtower has never claimed to be an inspired prophet?.
technically speaking, the answer is yes - i think (if i'm wrong i'd love to see the quote).

And yes, we should call the whole thing off.
i have exchanged posts with a number of you in the short time that i've been a member of this most excellent forum.. as i initially posted, i have aspergers syndrome.
in my case it is both severe and mild.
it is mild in that unless you talked to me for some time you would only think me a little odd.

Interesting that you feel this in your head. I think I feel feelings in my chest mostly, come to think about it.
Yeh - that would be stress.

do you believe it is possible for a Christian to live apart from organized Christian religions?
Yes
And if so, would you also believe, he or she, is apart from whatever organized religion is guilty of?
That depends very much on the individual.

I sometimes feel that I want to bang my head against a brick wall, just to feel relief from the pressure of the rubber bands.
Sometimes, I feel as though I am banging my head against a brick wall, especially when I discuss things with religtards and jovies.
