  John Lennon: Imagine.....

  by confusedandalone in

  there's no heaven...... it's easy if you try.... i am not a huge fan of the beatles, not a fan of john lennon really either.

  however, this song is one that i think most people tend to like for its airy feel and sentiment.

  the funniest thing to me is how the opening 9 words of this song really really really make one think about belief.. honestly for one second trying to imagine there is no heaven, it is easy if you try.

  @Gayle I am going out of the country for the Christmas season, but I do have Halloween decorations up ROFL. I also am having a huge Thanksgiving with most of my wofes family and I plan to post pics on Facebook as well. They can surely come and get me if they like.

  @Oubliette - I am working on getting these voicemails off my phone just so you can hear the insane ramblings. It is like they put on a pleasant voice and beg me to get the letter signed and returned so that it can all be over - then it eventually turns toxic and get heated. IT is scary. The worst part though is I sent them pics of my daughters awards and they say, "Itis wonderful she is doing good things at school - but what are you teaching her to do for Jehovah?" What kind of idiot cant be happy at the fact their grandchild is smart and well-mannered? They level of disgust I have developed for them is immeasurable.

  @ leavingwt - Bro you have no idea. The number of concerts and parties I have gone to in the last 4 months has been amazing. Watching my daughter blow out candles with all her friends for the first time literally made me freaking cry.

  Honestly for one second trying to imagine there is no heaven, it IS easy if you try. After all none of us have seen it or been ther or know of anyone who has been there and returned to tell us about it. We do however have alot of STORIES that tell us what it might be like and who may or may not be there.

  The really difficult thing is imagining there is a heaven. After all what would it look like? Who is there? What color is the grass? Is there grass? Is there light? Is it dark? hmmmm takes an amazing imagination to think what heaven would be like........

  Just sayin'

  Thanks John

  @maninthemiddle - " I don't have time any longer to care about what they think, I have a son to take care of first."

  Exactly, I have a wife and two kids and the best part of their lives is now. I can't sit around worrying about what these asshats want to do and what their ancient scrolls say... I will end up 40+ years old realizing I wasted alot of time fighting a battle that is totally unnecessary. My daughter of 9 years of age months ago said she doesn't understand why the bible wants us to be sad and bored. a 9 year old has the sense to see we are wastig valuable years on something so so useless

  Miss.Fit - Me and a few other ex-jw's thought the exact same thing and we were talking about this being the reason miost JW's have to convince themselves you are miserable when you leave the borg and that no matter what you say you are lying.

  I look at my brother who at 18 pioneered... 19 became a commuter bethelite... at 21 during a Circuit assembly part on our family (that me and my sister were not fit to be a part of) his acceptance letter to Bethel was read out... at 26 he applies to get married at Bethel they say no and he leaves... at 27 he becomes a special pioneer in a foreign country... he is made both the PO and the SO of a sign language congregation in the foreign territory... at 32 his wife gets preggo and they leave and come home and live mwith my parents. He becomes the PO in the states at 34 and is on every single CO and DO. He then joins the RBC and he is on the Hospital Liason...

  No doubt that resume makes him a friggin superstar. However they are still living with parents or in reduced rent apartments owned by the brothers. He is an extremely smart guy but his prominence comes from the borg.

  Here I am I pioneer at 18 for 9 months and I dont make my time and I get accepted to bethel anyway. I stay there a couple years and realize it sucks and I want to leave. I come back home and get put on reproof and while on reproof I attend school and then get a good JOB and get married to a woman who is far smarter and more business savy then I am. She builds up a nice business for us and we have fun. I get appointed an elder but nothing special but people like me. He hates that.

  Now I leave and I give the org he loves soo much the literal finger - so he figures I must pay some type of price. Hate will be his undoing. His text messages to me are so evil it is amazing

  Can one find God without studying the Bible?

  by Dis-Member in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't recall jesus ever once telling people that they should even read the bible to find god.. he said nothing about 'taking in knowledge' either.. .

  he didn't encourage people to read the bible because 90% of people in his day couldn't read!

  the bible was not read by most people, it was -heard- when someone else read it aloud.

  Why would you want to find the guy that wants to kill everyone he created for not making him happy beccause he made them incapable of making him happy?
