  JWs - Liberals or Conservatives?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  where they stand is a strange mixture.

  yes, they don't agree with abortion and homosexuality, they believe in the bible and wear skirts and ties to church .

  but in many ways they're liberal.

  i guess the question which is the hardest to give up smoking or alcohol.

  many folks gave up smoking in the 70's including me but i have known some hard drinking brothers and if consuming any kind of alcohol became a df offense, i wonder.....

  If you went back in time, would you be a god?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  we just finished watching outlander which is about a woman who goes back in time ~200 years from the end of wwii.

  she ends up in the scottish highlands in the middle of the jacobite uprising.

  it's a great show although the last episodes were a little graphic (they make game of thrones seem like sesame street).. but it got me thinking ... if you went back in time would you in fact be the 'god' you may imagine because of your knowledge of modern technology and the future?.

  2. experiences

  i talked to my dad today, after i text him when i was angry after a night out.

  i'm starting to get closure on my parents relationship with regards to me.the dynamic between them versus me is abusive.

  my dad didn't think i had any reason to be bitter.he said i chose to leave "jehovahs people" and this is what i should expect as treatment.

  'Worldly' man looking for a little more understanding...

  by Verecocha in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  saw similar title in a google search so thought i'd read more and now simply have to share my experience if anything to hear that i'm not insane and it is that simple.. met and fell madly in love with a witness, and her with me.

  what began as love at first sight turned into a 6 year relatiomship which simply ended very bluntly.

  there were many painful twists and turns along the way, first from her inability to leave her husband, then my mistake in finding someone else as i simply couldn't take the pain of her coming and going with such simplicity, but in the end she got a divorce and suffered many consequences within 'the truth', and i sorted my issues which were many and admittedly dug with my own hands and stupidity in trying to protect a young girl who had done no wrong in this long affair.. eventually we found ourself on what i believed to be the home straight.
