  i am now officially by being announced at congregation level that i am no longer one of jehovahs wihtnesses.

  that news spread like wild fire and i was dropped by all jw's on facebook, which shows the level of control the borg has in this area.

  what is interesting is there was no juducial committee.

  i mean how many of them really even want that?...most jws give away any interested person to a good ol pioneer..and not sure how many of them really want to make a disciple either....i mean she drives around endlessly with her chick friends...lots of starbucks...dunkin and kk...and they dont want a frikkin study....really????

  ?...........just a vent...oompa.

  btw in my legal divorce papers response today i did say she was not blameless...stated that chose to be part of a religious sect that shuns me totally since i am no longer a believer...and that it has caused me extreme distress and anxiety....

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i really love it....seems like i am way in the minority as far as guys go though ...plus the guy girl ratio is sure not a negative for me!...but no that is not why i am there...i mean it kicks your butt physically...but i am hoping for this more inner peace thingy too......oompa.

  interesting thing...i read on an inflight mag this week that yoga came from india ages ago and was only created by men for men!....women were verboden..... and what is the best way to find really good instructors?...my local ymca has classes as does a gym or two near me...and i have no idea how much certification these instructors must have.

  simple yet very visible observation about cults and other more mainstream religions too...

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i now wear a sexy goatee and stach for cosmetic reasons actually...and of course this is not really allowed without penalty in usa jw world....they control so much of your life by endless pharisaical rules...and esp those about dress and grooming....they only allow hair a certain way on the male face...over the lip only....they do not control hair on the face of women interestingly...but funny thing...the amish require a beard...but the reason it looks weird is they forbid hair over the male lip...lmao!!!

  !....and another cult....the hasidic jews require full beards and looooong burns....plus the funny hats and garb....hardcore muslim is full beard....mennonite wimmin no makeup and old timey full garb and some do have beards lol.

  i researched it but still do not understand why so many religions try to dictate how god wants us to groom our beards......oompa.

  1919 im pretty sure...my great grandpa talks to come cole porters...pioneers now for you younger ones....and they talked him into buying a book...so he tells my great uncle edsel to go run down a chicken to give them...sure enough they had an old model t or such with cages on the back for livestock...kid you not....so he catches the damm slow chicken...and i wind up as fourth generation robot...but there will be no more in my family....oompa.

  why i share this i have no idea except i told it to a guy here who called me from ca the other day and he is from here and he thought it was funny...and btw he was a true new friend to me...this place is genuine.

  spurious verses...bad or not?...that word means deceptive/counterfit among other things

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was inspired by morbizbaby.... for any lurkers or newbies or anyone not sure if this religion is false in its teachings...or wondering if it is a cult..... jws bash other religions for changing the bible in any way and call the changed or added verses spurious.

  but they have the only bible around that adds the name jehovah to the new testament...or christian greek scriptures and dubs prefer...and not only where quoted in the hebrew...old testament scriptures either....nooooooooo....just look at every single place they added the name in revelation...12 times and not a singe one is a quote from the hebrew scriptures....deal breaker for me...who has the right to change the frikkin bible and make it say what they want?!?!?!?!?

  and of course rev 22 17-19 sayd we cant add or take away a single word from its scrolls...liars.

  and the one page wonder i discovered was its neighbor tiny bood jude....three places jehovah appears there...and just look for frikkin quotation marks if you want to know if it is a frikking quote!!!!!! geeze how did i miss that for 45 years????

  and by the way...write them if you want...and they will admit it...there is not a single ancient manuscript in the world that has the name jehovah in the hebrew scriptures....not one...i mean we may have done a good job restoring it nearly 7000 times in the old testament...my god that is six times a page...but even faking it in like they have it drops to .08 times a page in the new testament lol!!!!.....see 7000 was not enough for them they love the name sooooooo much....the decided to add it over 200 times to the new testament in their unique bible
