  The bond that developed between you and Leo is exceedingly intense. He was your "first love" and, in a sense, he was "forbidden fruit." The possibilities of "what might have been" are very tantalizing to ponder and can be absolutely haunting.

  For some problems in our lives there simply is no satisfactory solution.

  What you're experiencing is very common; in men as well. Foolishness in choices often produces consequences which persist for many, many years. It is only in old age that we eventually find relief. When wisdom finally takes hold.

  Our next lives will be much different.

  Ooops! Sometimes as I type the sentence structure changes dramatically as it unfolds. Above "They're" should have come out "Their." Even when re-reading before clicking the "Post Reply" button I don't always catch the errors. Senior Moments are becoming more frequent. Thankfully, my dogs don't notice.

  Dogs are indeed amazing creatures! They're companionship and attachment to us is very beneficial for our health. There is no other animal quite like them. Man's Best Friend without doubt.

  Lords Witnesses - JW splinter group - latest predictions

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  amongst the many jw splinter groups , the "lords witnesses" are amongst the more interesting / amusing / depressing ( delete as applicable ).

  the de-facto leader , gordon ritchie , was quite a well known jw in the uk in the past.

  there was an amusing article in the times about him a few years ago ( https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-end-of-the-world-is-nigh-its-name-is-gordon-g3qxf8w5fn9 ) firewall / free to subscribe.

  Forgot to say: the link in the OP above didn't work in my browser until the final "l" was added.

  Yes, they are interesting. Some of their doctrine is nearer The Real Truth in that it differs significantly from WTBorg Cult Inc. teachings in a very positive sense. Others of their claims, however, are troubling.

  We are most definitely living in strange times...

  If You Question The Governing Body, You're Like Korah

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  anyone who questions the governing bodys authority is labelled as an apostate and almost always they bring up the story of korah and his revolt against moses.. watchtower august 1st, 2002, the article loyally submit to godly authority paragraphs 8-15.. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2002563.

  in not so subtle hint, the gb likens themselves to moses, and those who disagree with the gb are korah.. paragraph 15 is actually quite damaging to the gb's argument though:.

  it was so unnecessary for all those people to lose their lives.

  Wow!! Great postings and comments all!!

  The intensity of the Light which you are shining onto the lies of the GB (G.O.D.) and their creation of men (WTBorg Cult Inc.) is dazzlingly brilliant!

  By their actions they (the GB) offer proof that they are enforcing the edicts of their Ruler and Boss, The Adversary. It is quite amazing that their Mind Control Techniques are so effective at blinding the vast majority of "believers." Mindful of how the Pharisees controlled the masses when the Son of Man walked among them.

  When a state of fear is sufficiently powerfully induced into the "congregation" it switches off any desire to think freely or to question the chains which restrain them.

  How very sad...

  What is the Baptism all about?

  by Old Navy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does the act of baptism make us a "member" of any group or organization?

  or, is it something much greater in its purpose?.

  when we as former jws came to the truthful conclusion that what the wtborg cult inc. was teaching/preaching was not an accurate representation of the word, many of us decided to look into every nook and cranny to see if we could discover the real truth.

What the WTBorg Cult Inc. teaches isn't completely wrong in that their message does contain some "Truth;" but, sadly, their version of the "Good News" is quite gloomy and fearful and exclusive of the vast majority of humankind.

  It has taken me a long time to finally find an explanation of the Baptism and what it means which demonstrates the full depth of our Creator's Love for us all.

  When I read these analyses I am overcome with gratitude:

  Knowing that ALL will be resurrected and saved is a great relief!

  No Soliciting or No Trespassing signs are often ignored.

  Here are some specific signs/stickers:

  New, but needed to vent- thank you :-)

  by Danni Jackson in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i discovered your website this morning as i was trying to find some information about 'marking'.

  you see a very close friend of mine was 'marked' earlier this week and as i know the ins and outs of the situation (as we are close friends) i disregarded the talk immediately as i know my friend is obviously having issues but is no way a 'danger' to anybody else's spiritual health.

  basically they are dating a non-believer- hence the talk.

  Quote from Danni Jackson:
  

  ...Now I am not really here to change my religion as I did do a lot of research into the 'watchtower' earlier on in my study (some of you may not think I did enough, but I think I am here more to vent- if that's ok?)...

  Yeah just looking to vent!

  Thank you for being here.

  Venting is good and you've done it well!

  It's a beginning. There will be more.

  Welcome!
