  A Course in Miracles

  by semelcred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've just started reading a course in miracles and wondered if any one here has any thoughts or any contact with this book?

  as an ex-jw i find it hard to accept reading any other religious publication but i find the idea of the ego's attempt at separation as the real issue against the idea of original sin a fascinating concept.

  also the book was channeled!

  JW's and home schooling?

  by semelcred in

  1. watchtower

  i don't wish to offend any that are teaching their kids at home, but today i was again confronted by a situation where a jw family were home schooling.

  the kids had little structure to their routine and without putting the mum down, she was no teacher in an academic sense.. the subject is close to my heart because my parents who are witnesses, took my younger brothers out of school and home tutored them.

  the were subjected to below standard education and limited in social skills, particularly as my parents are crap at these skills themselves.. i have grown to hate home schooling except in the situation of medical or logistical situations.. what are your comments good or bad and do you think the option to home school is abused by the witness community?.

  weeping and a gnashing

  the evil slave class are thrown out and start to gnash their teeth.

  the fd slave have concluded in the past this applies to christendom and apostates.

  i refuse to be labelled as the evil slave class and certainly cannot describe "coming to my senses" as being thrown out by the master.

  2. relationships

  i am fed up in this world that men don't stand up and start letting the sisters in the world know what we really need.

  lets take the game to them!!.

  to be controlled or not to be controlled that is the question!

  by semelcred in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after years in a high-control group i cannot seem to accept any form of control from an organisation.

  i am fascinated to know how others cope with finding another group to asscociate with.

  i am so cynical i might never be able to be a part of any group again!

  the figure is growing and if reports are to be believed the numbers are made up mostly of experienced and long serving bros and sis!
