by wha happened? in

i've seen a few postings of a possible "next date" for dubs of 2034. based on an article they published comparing the last days to the days of noah.

preaching for 120 years.

however, i noticed a little tidbit from wiki about age:.

I'll be 80 years old in 2034. I hope I can pee on my own instead of worrying about what the Wt has to say. Totally ADD

do they view you as an apostate?.

(generally, most witnesses are quite nice to me)..

One sent a facebook message to my wife saying she heard we do not want to be JW anymore. Other than that we don't know any JW here were we live so no problem. Totally ADD

Thanks blondie for your advice and sharing with us what you had to do with your parents. I was hoping I nip this in the bud back in 2007 after my therapy and his. Coming from a very toxic back ground myself. I still can't believe how bad it was for me and my kids. In his letter which was not respecftful like yours he mentions he does not care about my past or being in the cult. He feels that is not a excuse and he is right to a point. According to him I have not worked hard enough to change things. That I don't agree with again to a point. We all have room for impovement and I know I do. I would love to talk these things out with him but again he stated in his letter he wants no contact with us until we go through therapy and after that he will judge if we are free of all the dysfunctions he feels we have. His letter was very disrespectful and much anger and hateful judgement in it. That's OK I can live with it. We do know his wife is behind this for she is a very controlling person. She and I have never gotten along because she trys to control my wife and I and when she can't she would go into these rages. The last message our son left with us on our phone over 2 months ago was after he told his wife we are not JW anymore she was in a horrible rage and did not know what to do. We feel this is her way of not having us around our son anymore by putting all these stipulation on us. And he is going along with this. For many years now I have asked him on and off if everything is going alright with us. If not please let me know and we will try to work it out. He told me time and time again it was. He even told us that when the word got out we are not JW anymore he would prevent his wife from not having us see the children. This is not the case now.

Around here I have a hard enough time going to a Dr. and paying for it. In our state mental health has been slash to the nub. Right now all I can hope for is the letter I sent him back. I hope it will soften his heart just to talk to us. Thank you blondie for your concern. Totally ADD

LisaRose one of his conditions is my wife and I go to therapy. He feels we didn't get enough therapy when we did go back in 2007. Therapy is out of the question for us and for paying for our son's therapy. No insurance or extra money to pay for it. The therapist told my wife didn't really need any and I was as far as I could go with mine. I have offten said I would like to get a little more but money is the factor. Thank you for your concern and sorry for what you also went through. Totally ADD

Not going to the KH while on vacations could cause you to start thinking outside the box. The Borg does not want that. It mean lost money for them. Totally ADD

my evangelical christian co-worker is extremely "racist" towards Hispanics

by booker-t in

i am getting so tired of my co-worker who is a "evangelical christian" constantly making racist slurs towards hispanic people.

i just don't get it and it is making me very uncomfortable because i wonder what he says about "black" people behind my back.

everyday he makes comments such as "mexicans" are dumb and stupid, "mexicans all can't speak good english", "mexicans have 50 million babies" and "mexicans are all on welfare".

Being racist is the rot of the soul and it stinks. It is becoming all to common for alot of evengelical christian who suffer with this sickness. Totally ADD

Since when is independent thinking equivalent to disobedience?

by I_love_Jeff in

jw
friends

the jehovah's witnesses say that adam decided to thinking independently and eat from the forbidden tree thus committing a terrible sin-disobeying.

how is thinking freely equivalent to disobedience?.

"in keeping with the principle of this proverb, adam acted selfishly and his foolish thinking distorted his way.

TotallyADD

It does seem strange that God gave all humans independent thinking but are condemn for using it. That's why listening to writings of over 4000 years ago usually makes on sense. It was just some story some person made up. Totally ADD
