Haha, this is great. And you can just tell by the lines ingrained in his face that Korah must have felt like this for a long time..... Bwhahahaha! Yes, the spirit is really moving me ....

New Avatar - Korah
by cappytan ini decided to update my avatar.. since the society says that disagreeing or speaking against the governing body is like korah challenging moses, i decided korah would be a fitting avatar!.
what do you think?.
by the way, if you didn't realize this was korah or don't know where this came from, it's from one of the new "comic book" bible stories..

Rebel8, I love what you said.... Your post (page 2 on this thread) about acceptance & moving on vs. forgiveness really struck a chord with me. Thank you, those were beautiful and insightful, healing words without the nauseating religious aspect! -

Julia, I agree with the people who advised you to not make any immediate decision about DA stuff right now. You are in too much turmoil and pain -- it really hurts too to lose our little pet(s) -- and the lack of their quiet, sweet presence leaves such an empty space...
Don't fill the places of your pain with decisions that could impact your life with more confusion or sorrow. You said maybe you still care what those bastards think... But those bastards were people we loved too... So the mind-fook is hard because we also know how JWs are trained to think -- it is such double-talk/double-think.
Be gentle with yourself right now, and it is not a sin to tell people that. Walk gently. Especially when you in pain. When you need to walk strong, you will know. You are healing, and yes, a counsellor who knows about abuse or controlling situations, PTSD, etc, could be of enormous benefit.
I feel your non-JW mom means well, but she does not totally understand the whole interplay of .... all that ... mind-sifting JW stuff.

Huh. They always use (mis-use) the prodigal son parable. Where was it stated in that parable that the erring son must wait a year or so and then write a letter? Bah.
And did you notice, in that same WT, there is a whole article about MALAWI and the intense (but totally needless!!) persecution that happened to JWs in the 1960's and 70's. If anyone is familiar with Ray Franz's book, Crisis of Conscience, you will know all about that muck-up and duplicity and double standards which the org could have prevented but did not.
Shame, shame on them! :(

NEW LIGHT ALERT! TARGET 2015 END TIMES! EVE WAS CREATED 40 YEARS AFTER ADAM! THE END IS NEAR!
by Trailer Park Pioneer inthis is going around the kingdom halls now, i thought it was a hoax but are not all the end time dates produced by the organization some hoax or con?
the reason why the end did not come in 1975 was the watchtower society had not put eve's creation in their equation.
i was told when we had a "meet and greet" if "we knew the date of eve's creation we would know the year jehovah was going to destroy the earth.. it's been 40 years since 1975, can you believe it's been 40 years since "stay alive till 1975!"?

Hoser - on why 40 years - well, in some of the WT publications, mention is made that 40 years seems to be a biblical precedent for maturity (spiritual maturity) and development. Eg: the Israelites wandering in the desert for 40 years, Moses hanging around with the Midianites for 40 years before he encountered the burning bush.... Jesus fasting for 40 days.... It all makes perfect sense, you see.
