isis, plain and simple.
if there is a god there is no way he.
would allow this to occur (beheading of james foley).
Perhaps earth is a schoolroom to learn what works and what doesn't work. We've been slowly progressing through the tens of thousands of years.
I don't know what type of school you went to, but in mine the teachers stepped in to stop disruption and facilitated learning so that those of us who wanted to progress could do so.
just wanted to encourage people still in the org.
to study the theory of evolution in a non jehovahs witness setting.
i used to think the evolution book was great.
I fully concur with the sentiments of this thread
hi guys, i don't really post on here much anymore, having been on here since 2001. this site helped me out in the early days and has been a great support system for all of my past jw issues.
like many others i was discouraged from an education so that i could window clean and pioneer in my youth during the 80's.
having spent many years post my jw exit in alcoholism and periods of drugs, i decided to clean myself up 7 years ago by attending aa, i was still a window cleaner ... at the time i wrote extensively on here about my issues.
What a wonderful success story - Inspirational, well done!
long time, no posts.... .
those that remember me, well, i'm doing ok, so far.. those that remember my wife, she passed away as of june 26th this year after a long battle with various health issues for the past 6 years.. thought i'd drop a note to say hello to everyone that knew me.. .
i hope everyone is well.. .
Hi Yiz - nice to see you back here.
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your wife.
i believe in god but i'm not sure of anything....what about you?.
I believe in Dog
atheists believe that god should stop the large-scale injustice on earth; if he does'nt, then he does not exist.
jws believe that god will intervene sometime in the last days!.
interestingly, both throw themselves on their own expectation of soemthing god should or will do, yet in fact something god does not have to do.
god doesn't like amputees...that's why he has never, ever helped one of them.
ADCMS you are forgetting amputees bring it on themslves.
the following e-mail is circulating among jws about the international convention at fedex stadium in landover, md.
note the all-too-familiar jw claims: everything they do (including the simple act of parking cars) is proof of jehovah'stm blessing, and everything wt did at the convention was the fastest, greatest, best ever.
oh, and the never-fails-to-get-mentioned alleged 'persecution'/resistance from some unnamed authority who tried to get in watchtower's way and hamper the effort...but jws prevailed anyway (as always):.
Dozy - absolutely right.

How to explain to a neighbour.............That we are still here 100 years after Jesus started invisibly ruling?

Yes Greg it was a real mess.
Anyway. I am glad you are finding your own path and healing as best you can.
some of you might remember my first post on here about my dilemma of whether or not to remain in a relationship with my jw girlfriend after learning ttatt http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/278710/1/im-new-and-need-help#.u-kltpldvyq.
while we were taking a break, well it turned out to be not very much of a break because of our still strong feeling for each other (we eventually went from talking every few weeks to once a week and then to everyday again) and things started to get complicated.
well last night we officially decided that it would be best for the both of us to at least part ways for now and end things.
Sorry that this has happened, but there is no compromise with a JW. This hurts but will be for the best in the long run.
