or, at least made progress in healing yourselves.... right now i feel like i have made a lot of progress.. i did the following that helped tremendously:.

joined this forum!

faced my husband regarding how i felt and feel that we have met eachother 1/2 way on this - even researched and prepared how to talk to him in a better way (i have a blunt, tactless way of bringing things up - in case you guys didn't notice, lol.

You are on the fast track my friend....

All this just since the first of the year...

You are doing in months, things that many haven't done in years.

Keep up the good work!

by new boy in

there are so many.... i remember my exfather inlaw...ben regan, he was made an elder in newport r.i and that's enough to make you doubt the whole holy spirit thing right there.. i was sitting in his living room one sunday and the phone rings...some poor black sister just got the crap beat out of her and she was crying to him on the phone, she was looking for help.. ben said.

"well you must have done something really bad to make him so mad at you...i know but...what you need to do is just have another beer and forget the whole thing"....good by.. thank god must women are not putting up with this anymore, from their husbands or religions that really don't care about them.

This bull shit came from the very TOP down.

It is a male dominated organization just look at Knorr and the rest of the "good old boys."

I seem to remember WT articles telling wifes to stay with unbeleiving husbands who were abusive "So by their actions the scum bags might come into the borg too"....what logic!

Be a punching bag for the lord!

how many here have had jw friends that can only have a good time when they drink?

i've known plenty - ones with obvious drinking problems.

not necessarialy alcoholics, but ones that equate good times with drinking, and drinking alone.

Personally.....I don't drink anyone...

I don't drink any less...either

What was your first Religious Experience ?

by Casper in

just wondered how others first learned about religion.

i know "born ins" were taught from the start but the rest of us had to start somewhere.

my very first memory of anything supposedly religious was at the age of six... my grandmother took me to a "tent revival".

new boy

I would have to say the first time I ever had sex on my wedding night.

I kept saying "Oh God...Oh...God..

"What a wonderment".

Now he is getting ready to do it again....6 billion people worth....and why?

Because people won't buy his magizines and join his church. Hay! Have you seen some of these people going door to door? God if you want me to join your team, better send me some people that got most there teeth and at least a 3rd grade education....Opps...I forgot you really don't like people on the bright side.

Hay, since he all powerful doesn't he have the power to change people's minds about him and his good people?

Well, I guess not! That could take some time...and hay...it is so much easier to just kill them off..right!

Hitler was a mad man because he killed off only 50 million people because they didn't beleive in him. Whats the difference between him and your "God of love?"....The people will be just as dead!

DO THE MATH, GOD CAN SAVE ONLY ONE IN 1,000?

by new boy in

jw
friends

what got me thinking, -------when i was seating at a district ass.

and looking at the audiences of 10,000 people seating there, i thought if all these people here were to represent all the earths population, only ten people on the front row would be saved.. since the population of the planet is 6 billion "worldly people" and 6 million jws, that means those poor bastards in the world only have one in 1,000 chance to live!

but i was "lucky" enough to be born into a jws family {and maybe 75%?
