after leaving christianity it's common especially among the young to experiment with witchcraft.

some get drawn into it by getting involved with earth movements and back to nature groups.. .

witchcraft is an evil thing.

Just wanted you to know, none of you are intriguing. Rather, you're all quite repulsive.

not saying that's my personal opinion, but this week's congregation bible study asks the viewpoint question, "would apostate literature or internet sites intrigue you or repulse you?

"- jeremiah book, page 70, para 7. .

gotta love it.. i guess apostate sites are like crime scenes.

Reddit thread: I just turned 21, and Im close to committing suicide
by thecrushed in
1. jw
2. friends
i saw this thread this morning and i can't get it out of my head.

it reminds me so much of my own feelings of hopelessness at that age.

i did the stupid thing and turned to doing copious amounts of drugs and never dealt with the problem only to be sucked back into the cult later at my lowest point of drug addiction.

"We get presents all year; who needs Christmas"

i don't know how many times i have heard that lie from the platform.

i have heard that line of rubbish at big and great boasting sessions as well.

the witlesses act as if they get as many toys as worldly people, just scattered throughout the year.. now, i have seen many cases where that simply isn't true.

So, you know those "Keep Calm and..." memes?
by fortis et liber in
1. jw
2. friends
well, i was just looking at the pinterest page ::eye roll:: of a current jw who's husband i once knew quite well additionally, we shared many "friends" in common.

anyway, posted to her "things for my wall" category is one of those "keep calm and..." memes and this one says, "keep calm and shun the non believers" to which a host of my former "friends" have added their 'lols' and 'ha ha ha's' and "yes!

" comments and, it just makes me rage.. i know it is stupid to go looking for trouble after all, why visit the public pages (facebook, pinterst, etc.

A milestone for my Grandson, David
by coffee_black in
1. jw
2. friends
david turned 18 yesterday.

(he is the one who walked from orlando, fl to washington, dc a little over 3 years ago on behalf of homeless children) i wrote about that on the forum back then.

what i didn't write about is that david has grown up without a father....not because he doesn't exist, but because his father has chosen to live his life of drugs and violence.
