As Maya Angelou once said: "When someone shows you who they are, Believe them." The first time.
I like that a lot.
need advise.
i was in a relation with a jw girl for almost three years(im am not jw) and we are so inlove with each other until someone saw us from her congregation and she was disfellowed and that where the oddness happened.
her family and friends are not talking to her anymore, she wants me to stop seeing and talking to her anymore not until i became a baptized jw.

arguing with those who reject scientific evidence can be like arguing about football; just as angry and passionate, but the goalposts keep moving, and one team doesn't exist.. read more here....
Blah blah blah, I am determined to cling to my biases, blah blah blah blah, i will not allow facts to influence me, blah blah blah blah, I will cling to my cherished beliefs, blah blah blah blah, I will not bend or alter and facts mean nothing to me.
i'm in my mid 40's and recently started bible study and going to meetings.
my family is really having a hard time with this.
my kids that are over 18 are no longer speaking to me and won't have anything to do with me.

Wake up and walk away.
Only increasing amounts of grief awaits you on this path....

Damnit, who knew it was so simple, bacteria were created with microscopes! I'm going to inform the masses of ignorant fools who think otherwise!

i didn't make this video it just showed up in my utube web page, god i love utube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyv5lg1uh0o.
So is that King dude now actually a Witless and volunteering for this or contracted in? If he is paid, how much?
If they have to pay "worldly" people to act in these then that smacks of hypocrisy and desperation to me.
this week bible reading is ps.102-105.
i noticed in ps 105:15: saying, “do not touch my anointed ones,and to my prophets do nothing bad.".
so are these part of the 144,000?
Why would ps 105 be anything to do with the 144,000? Isn't there any other meaning to "anointed ones" you can think of especially in view of the context of ps 105?
And you're right about the whole 144k thing being nuts, but don't stop there, there's plenty more nutty things just waiting for you to discover in the bible.
ok, i am reading through the book the watchtower and the masons by fritz spring meier which i am finding a fascinating read; and discovered that judge rutherford published the book 'cause of death'.
what is incredible is the book cover.
the book was published in 1932 which would have been a little bit more eye catching back then.
I still cant quite get over the fact that i used to believe this bible crap. My only saving grace is that i was born into this stupidity.
we had a bad experience with watchtower trying to infiltrate our forums.
let this story be a warning for all you guys here.
if you value your privacy do not ever send your real contact details to anyone, even if you trust them (because their accounts could be hacked or accessed by their relatives - and yes, this happened to people i know several times already).
The utter bastards. Thanks for the heads up.
If you have two identified jw . org infiltrators from IT departments then I'd say it is sanctioned from higher up and not DIY operations.
Expect more of this sort of thing...
anyone else also hold this view or understand it at least, or do you feel the need to argue that both can in no way coexist?.
Simon please limit or kick this troll.
