  don't worry about work, your husband will support you.. you are spiritually weak if you go to college.

  (i went to a technical school).

  to pioneer right after highschool.. studying the bible only is "independent research" - ie.

  ok, so the grand boasting sessions are in progress and will be so until september.

  for them, that is the big thing that is in front of them.. beyond that, there is the beginning of a new circus year.

  that happens in september, and the pioneers are back out in full force.

  for those that remember my wife was attacked and nearly raped back in march.

  Sounds like she's done extremely well. I think it's amazing to hear how humans can confront their fears and pull through. All the best to her and you.

  hello gang,.

  so, i'm getting low on my apostate materials and was wondering if you could recommend anything beyond what we've done already...... -crisis of conscience.

  Non-apostate, biblical scholarship which is presented for the lay-person:

  How to Read the Bible: History, Prophecy, Literature - Why Modern Readers Need to Know the Difference, and What It Means for Faith Today

  Can't recommend it enough for those who have been exposed to fundamentalist belief systems.

  i have been lurking on this site for long time now.

  my sister-in-law told me about this forum when i had questions and concerns about bible teachings from the organization.

  i have never posted because i was scared of getting found out---that would have disastrous results.

  Condescending Style of the book Keep Yourselves in God's Love

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  atlantis has posted a download link for the 2008 book release, "keep yourselves in god's love".

  i read a page or so from the book, and the first thing i notices is the simple language used that sounds like it is written to be read by a little child who is in elemenatary school.. the styel if very condescending and actually is insulting as if the reader is expected to have a very low level of intelligence or reading ability.. what is going on?

  why is bethel printing such material?.

  Do You Wake Up With Answers?

  by compound complex in

  2. beliefs

  i just now awoke from a nap, a "solution" to a knotty question at my bedside, patiently awaiting my return to wakefulness, with the answer that eluded me during conscious deliberations.

  generally, when this has happened, now and in the past, what appears to have been an instant realization turns out to be exactly what i needed.. have you ever experienced this?.

  why does it happen?.

  Sitting on the loo seems to have an inspirational effect on my mind. Sometimes.
