Interesting story alright.....I don't put too much
faith in the truth of the bible but it looks to me
that she was killed

DaleRivers nice to see you here ...sorry if you

i'm sorry i don't remember her name but in the story her father promises god the first from his house would be sacraficed.
as many know here she was indeed killed and not just given over to temple service.
proving this to a jw would be hard, but i'm wondering was there ever a mention of woman being used at the temple other then when the temple was also a place for asherah worship?

we're 2 years in to our exit from the witnesses.
we're not disfellowshipped or disassociated ... just inactive.
none of our friends speak to us anymore.
Hello Whatnow .....don't let their ignorance
get you down! I just call attention to their
behavior by acting surprised or just laughing
at them ....I don't acknowledge ANY control
over me! Hang in there dear....we are pulling
for you!

i remember many years ago we would talk about those who leave the org.
something bad will happen to them.
because god was mad at them for turning away from the wt.
I was so impressed when I started 'studying'
all those years ago.........I learned that the jw's
were not superstitious..."truth will set you free"
they said!... hahahahahhahahahahhahahahha!
Then they tell you that demons lurk in old clothes,
and old furniture and old houses...........omg!
Never met a more crazy people!

Not too long ago an elder shook his finger at me
with a quiverry loud voice croaked "you will have
a horrible life!!!!!!!" ......more stupourstition !
No bloody wonder this borg is full of very
disturbed people. How could jw's not be afraid,
stumbling around believing such detrimental
garbage! And no, something terrible did happen,
it took me sooo long to get out!

The only good thing about the trial is that everything will now be a part of the public record, the paper might even publish a story about the JW disfellowshiping policies and judicial committees. The public might find it disturbing that a well known religion still engage a in this kind of thing.

Maybe we need more of this! For TOO LONG this

Yes, even if Derick is found 'guilty', it still brings wt's
damaging made-up rules to the fore!
it's amazing what you perceive, once you know ttatt.
today's wt mind-control session was an amazing example of cult mind control techniques in action!!
the program was about hearing jeehoobies voice!
Wow terrific thread Data ...thanks for posting.
I really like your posts & glad you joined jwn!
I have not been to a mtg in 4yrs so am not

# 3 newbie post.
first of all, the newbies have set a record here!.
have you ever seen a 4pg post where 21 new members reply!
Hi you guys...3rdgen, & Witness007 nice to see ya!
Look at this ...4 newbies here right now...so glad you
joined this year....hope everything is going OK.
The first year is the hardest ....that's usually when you
take some pretty hard hits, friends withdrawing, discovering
you have been lied to for many years ...that is hard to take!
But I tell you.....finding out that all those burdensome loads,
& demands of obedience to stupid stuff .... is such a fantastic
relief & pure joy...........to be free is everything!

in genesis 9:22, it says, "ham saw his fathers (noah) nakedness.
" over the years i have heard many theories of waht that meant.
leviticus 18:8...20:11...and 20:20-21 says.

Breaking free & deprogramming is different for each
person......... the repetative going back & proving
points & tearing scripture apart ... is nessessary for
many of us. Plus, it is pretty interesting on a Sunday nite!

It takes an enormous amount of energy to
exit a cult and some do tire out, but I
encourage any willing to put in the effort
to start taking control of your own life.

He could have gone back to his cell and lived a life as a prisoner. When you’re trying to work towards your goals, you will want to give up. It’s bound to happen. No one ever said success is smooth sailing. How you deal with that determines your fate. Do you move on or do you go back to your cell and keep dreaming about freedom?"

i never realized that rabies is the deadliest of all virusus worldwide; every year it's responsible for the deaths of 60,000 people, and untold animal death and suffering.. http://www.horizonhealth.eu/article/deadliest-viral-disease-we-know/306.
this virus has been afflicting human and animal life on this planet since the dawn of time.
how could anyone love a god who created this this tool of immense suffering?.
Wow Tootired2care I am surprised at that number!
Seems like an old 'bug' that we had control of, but
60,000 is a lot!
