The imperfections of the elder
by outsmartthesystem in

2. beliefs
outsmart - you keep mentioning the imperfections of the elders....and how people need to overlook them because we are all imperfect and we need to learn what true humility is.....etc etc.

dj - if this is what you believe to be true, then you are mistaken, because even though jehovah's witnesses are directed by holy spirit, we have at times 'gotten it wrong.

dj - i can agree that jehovah's witnesses are god's mouthpiece today, that we do speak for god.

theology is the study of religion and religions are human systems of spirituality.

it could then be said that theology is the study of the applications of human spirituality.

human spirituality is a chosen way of life.

Is the spring/summer weather in your area 'odd' this year?
by AK - Jeff in
1. jw
2. friends
much of our spring was very cold, intermingled with the occasionally 'extreme' heat.

so far summer [which started this week] is cooler than any i can recall, but extremely wet and high humidity.

the entire house feels like a wet blanket.. the doom-sayer types are constantly remarking how this must mark 'something' if not the end.

Why do I no longer get attacked and persecuted by the demons, since I left JW,s ?
by pedal power in
1. jw
2. friends
most jw.s really believe that they ( as we once did ) are promoting gods will, but what if they really are ?

is it possible that god is supporting them even though they (governing body ) lie, because most jw,s are ignorant of the lies told on their behalf, ?.

when i was a jw i got attacked by the demons bigtime, but not now, and i can only assume that they (demons ) are happy that i am no longer a jw and are now leaving me alone, cant think of any other reason, has god ever supported a group who were similarly found wanting ?.

Who is your hero?
by HintOfLime in
1. social
2. entertainment
personally, as a computer programmer, my hero is a bit odd perhaps - gordon ramsey.

i think gordon ramsey is awesome.

no nonsense - he tells boring, lazy, mediocre people that they are mediocre, and passionately tells them what they are doing wrong... because he wants them to do better.

Are You The Type Of Person That Really "Loves" People On This Site?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
i know some here seem to truly be interested in everyone's welfare.

they seem to be really troubled/happy by another poster's health, life, children, job, sex life, worries, anxieties---you name it, they're very involved in "caring" about people that they hardly know.. i have forged some friendships, i've met some great people on this site.

i've communicated with many nice people here.

How big is a demon?

2. friends
things which exist are real enough.

we can measure them.

they are just this big and no bigger or smaller.. they are here and not there.. imaginary things have the luxury of being any size.

How to destroy the validity of your own mind.

1. jw
2. friends
the standard of what is true is what is real.. truth=reality.

at the point of contradiction.. with what?

it would be unthinkable for reality to contradict itself.. .
