  Hang-ups about sex

  by jelly in

  2. relationships

  i have not really thought this out yet but i was thinking after reading another post.

  what exactly did jesus say about sex?.

  the only things i can remember about jesus was that he revealed his messiahship to a woment that had multiple husbans (lovers), for married men to not lust after other women, and in his linage was a former prostitute.. .

  Glad you set the record straight. But personally I think the two of you have very different personalities and this is shining through your posts. Enjoy both of you!!!

  I see little good left in WTS

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you said, "so would it be wrong to accept the fact that the wts, despite its flaws, has many good scriptural truths to share.".

  i think most of us accept that the wts has done some good, but as the years pass, i find that the good i thought they did is getting less and less, and more importantly, the harm caused is getting greater than i could possibly imagine.. you continued, "can we reject what they have pressed to the world: god has a name, his kingdom is to solve mans problems, the earth is to become a paradise as god purposed, man will live endlessly on earth as intended, those who died will return in a resurrection of the dead rather that burn in hell, and this good news is to be preached in all the earth.".

  at this point in my life, after 25 years of being a jw and now an ex-jw, i find their message, its very root concepts, pure fantasy that may not necessarily god's will.

  I have one word for all of you!!!! EXCELLENT! I love it when I come on the DB and someone or a group of someone's expresses in beautiful terms exactly how I feel. I have nothing to add, because everyone else expressed it so perfectly already.

  The Sydney BBQ report

  2. friends

  well folks i just came from the sydney bbq.

  it was good to meet some of the faces behind the names of the posters here... it was funny every time another car rolled up one of us jumped up to show the security keys, i felt like a bit of a goose but it worked.

  no uninvited elders showed up.. there was heaps of food and the chocolate mud cake was delicious.

  I am so happy that all of you were able to get together. What a great validation for everyone. But I must admit I am a little envious! Wish all of us from everywhere could get together. What is the recipe for mud cake? Sounds wonderful and chocolaty (new word)

  Welcome to the over forty club Roller Coaster!!! Don't mourn that your family won't be at your wedding. Thinker and I chose not to tell anyone, probably for the same reasons your family won't be there.
  June 30, 2000, was the most wonderful day of my life!!! Up until all the wonderful days that have followed. I am so happy that some days I would like to scream it from the roof tops!!! Plan something really special for just the two of you that day.
  We got married, came home and fed each other fruit and cheese and good wine. Then went out to a beautiful French resturaunt that evening!!!! (there was some in between parts, but Mommy gets embarrassed, so I will refrain) Then we went on our honeymoon.
  Good Luck. We would come too!!!! If you would have us.

  Restrictions

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is a practice among jws of applying restrictions to individual members.

  it forms part of the judicial process and, although having no scriptural basis, is applied automatically to erring ones who are judged to be repentant.. so, for a period of time, usually up to 12 months, the individual is not allowed to share in commenting at meetings, offering public prayer, appearing on the platform in congregation meetings, or in serving as an auxiliary pioneer.. as with any man-made law, difficulties arise from this practice.

  although no announcement has been made to the congregation, individual congregation members can have their curiosity aroused.. for example, take the real-life situation where a sole parent has been placed on restrictions by a judicial committee.
