  Do you know what Rahab looked like?

  by ttdtt in

  2. bible

  hello friends - here is a new area in the kids section of the jw website - learn how to draw rahab.. 1st - she was a prostitute of jericho.

  could there be other characters to talk about with our kids?.

  2nd - it says "learn how to draw rahab".

  Funny, she has a Wilma Flintstone necklace, and Judy Jetson garments (cute little lapel things on her shoulders), and a Jetson/Flintstone/Alladin style haircut ... a huge mouth with giant teeth.... and no body below her neck and shoulders.

  ....

  And very good point, Alive!, about why the WT always uses Rahab as an example! Most interesting, as they always made such a big deal about her, and she was a prostitute and a liar! When I first started studying, I felt it was odd the way they used her and other characters in the bible .... but repetition and mind numbing meetings made it all right after all.

  Everything Fink said. So sorry you are going through this, let us know how things go and what you decide.... We are here for you.

  If this helps, know that regret is powerful, and most people find they regret more the things they did not do.... (because then, you are always wondering or kicking yourself). But protect your self too. 🌷

  Animals were created without needing Toilet Paper ... but not Man ... Why???

  by RubaDub in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my dog and other pets do their "business" and run away and are happy.. man does not have that luxury.

  any thoughts on why animals were created with the "poop and go" capacity while man has to go through more steps?

  was this perhaps an additional issue that god added on when adam and eve sinned (such as eve having significant more birth pains)?

  Geez. Really weird video. And since when do sisters sit on the floor? They show two different sisters sitting on the floor of the Kingdom Hall! One is on the floor doing something with her little kids, and near the end, one sister is sitting on the floor surrounded by garbage bags, clumsily trying to tie them closed. Why is she sitting on the floor???

  And the "thousand mile" stares abound in this video. Creepy too how the sister spent so much time at the meeting staring at the brother....

  Reasons for NOT Returning

  by Saved_JW in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i left the watchtower in the winter of 2008. my first year out was by far the most difficult.

  i had every intention of returning to the watchtower for the very purpose of being able to speak with my friends and family.

  i had already concluded that the teachings were not the "truth" [after reading crisis of conscience] so coming back was more emotional then anything.

  It would be nice to know...but we don't know.

  "... the spirit goes out..."

  I was with my momma when she recently passed away and after she took her last breath, I sat with her, holding her hand, for over an hour.

  Around 1/2 an half after she died, something "changed" -- There was like a "whoosh", a feeling of a presence leaving, and the room suddenly got darker, colder, emptier...

  I had heard of these types of experiences, but when I was a JW, I always regarded them as "demonic". (Such rubbish!!)

  Now I just don't know .... All there is, is silence. Memories.
