Glad no one was hurt. Iam unsure if this guy as a previous JW or not. For a good reason, some people want to be left alone.

i was just remembering this teaching--that a mythical woman ate a piece of fruit 1000s of years ago after a snake told her to, and that's the reason we have menstrual pain.. you see, the bible says eve was cursed for her sin with painful childbirth.
hence we can make up extrapolate that this includes menstruation, which is just part of childbearing.
then we can make up extrapolate that this applies to all females in the entire human race today, because according to a loving god we should all share in her sin as we all have vaginas too.. i remember crying in total agony while i was insulted comforted by having this scripture and explanation read aloud to me, and thinking how much this knowledge drew me closer to jehovah made me realize what a misogynistic wackadoodle cult this was.. thor causing thunder is more plausible than this.. if dubs take midol, does that mean they are scoring jehovah's lesson?.
Ways to go. Sorry for that pain. As a guy, Its very difficult to understand a woman. This is an enlightening learning experiences for me. Rebel8, thank you for bringing up this topic.

grappling with conscience .
a must read, i wept by the rivers of babylon,a prisoner of conscience in a time of war, is an important self-portrait of a naive young man, terry walstrom, who in 1967 thought he was obeying his conscience when he refused to take up arms and kill.
inasmuch as he was a conscientious objector, walstrom could have availed himself of noncombatant service in the military, but he was opposed to that arrangement.
Hi Terry,
Are you planing to release a kindle Version?

Yes, this is what I saw after clicking on that link. Iam very surprised. Thank you for the reminder. Yeah, their Holy Spirit was in 'offline Mode' which enabled the Devil to bypass him. May be that kingdom hall did not pay its subscriptions to the Watchtower for round the clock protection services

That would never happen inside a Kingdom Hall... the angels will always protect God's people... | |

Are you meaning that it cannot happen or has already happened inside a kingdom hall before?
This is the alleged guy at issue in the shoting.

this is too important to bury within an old thread.
that thread hashed over several items of interest which you may want to read by way of a refresher: .
is gail bethea-jackson truly a doctor as the watchtower site claims?
Very informative reading. I did not know this story before. Miller, ways to go

here is a link to the pdf.... http://www.jw.org/download/?issue=201312&output=html&pub=g&fileformat=pdf&alllangs=0&langwritten=e&txtcmslang=e&isbible=0.
some interesting quotes.... while it is wise not to believe everything we read in the news, it does not follow that there is nothing we can trust.
the key may be to have a healthy skepticism, while keeping an open mind.tone: when the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.sources: is there evidence of thorough research?
(of course, this will be "old news" to many of you...but, this is especially written for the "newbies" who may not know of the following.).
... i was just wondering .... .
i remember back when i was very active among the jehovah's witnesses, the watchtower society recommended a special procedure they used to do to put pressure upon bible studies of jehovah's witnesses by doing something they called: "directing attention to the organization.
Oho, outlaw, I love the animated depiction.

i have recently joined the site.
i was just appointed an elder this summer.
i started discovering the ttatt (the truth about the truth) last year after putting a few things together myself concerning the leadership and then doing some research online.. i really enjoyed jwfacts.com, jwsurvey, and others.
