The picture in my book of Bible stories that shows Abraham with his knife over Isaac.
The words you read to a child – the words are horrific. God tells Abraham :
”kill and burn your son.”

Solicitors Appontment Tomorrow - Advice Appreciated
by pale.emperor infollowing up on this thread: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5012900121935872/am-overreacting-here?page=3#!#5179106934128640.
im seeing my solicitor tomorrow to see about getting an order in place making sure any contact my daughter has with my jw family goes through me and not my ex-wife.. explained the situation briefly to the lawyer, she was asking more and more about why should i be concerned if a jw had access to my child.. i mentioned the blood issue, the shunning, the inappropriate pictures of armageddon in books/mags etc.
do you think i should bring in watchtower literature to show them what i mean?

Great thing to do.
l used to imagine in the days following my departure that l returned to door-knocking to un-do my previous efforts.
In my mind : l would begin by apologizing for my past visits. Then spell out the wrongs, the spiritual aggressions l had perpetrated when last at their door. And in addition l would express the harms that l realized personally my cult was part of. I would encourage them to evade capture.
I am a survivor and l have found by being in fact open with myself and others l have become freer. I am sorry for the impact of my religious zeal on others but l was also captive.
maybe if people actually play act st this they can get some relief?
Just my 2cents worth. Good for you two.
Spring is in the air!

Another School Shooting: The Gun Violence/Mental Illness Debate Continues
by jp1692 inin the aftermath of the valentine's day school shooting in florida, i have read quite a number of articles, blogs and posts about the event.
it is disturbing--and i think inexcusable--that many people take the opportunity to use horrible tragedies such as this to push their own particular agenda.. in particularly insensitive and tone-deaf tweet, conservative political commentator tomi lahren wrote: "can the left let the families grieve for even 24 hours before they push their anti-gun and anti-gunowner agenda?
my goodness.

Fink-I think if you talk to a therapist or even read online from some authority you would find that most people deal with some kind of mental health problems in their life at some time. There are dome mental issues things “hardwired “ and other things not. Therapy alone helps some of it and sometimes drugs help others. Or not.But rage, depression other stressors can overwhelm a person.
Ever hear of a “temporary insanity” plea?
jwundubbed isn’t saying it is a simple equation.

Boyfriend force me to study the bible or no marriage
by MuslimWoman inmy boyfriend, who is a disfellowshipped jehova's witness, asks me to study the bible for 3 months or he won't marry me (i'm a muslim woman).
he loves me and really wants to marry me but he is doing a passive blackmailing: if i don't study for 3 months, 1 time per week, in my home country, and without him, there will be no marriage... as a muslim, i believe the bible is god's word so i look at the bible from time to time and would be happy to study with him.
but the fact that he is kind of saying "study the bible or bye bye no marriage" is really hurtful.

Is it a Gun Issue or a Mental Illness Issue or Both?
by minimus inwe have had another shooting.
many are blaming trump and the republicans and the nra.. is it because of guns that there are so many massacres or could it be that these killers are mental?.
do you think guns should be removed from our society so that these atrocities never occur again?
