  If you are having problems or lacking joy, then the flow of Holy Spirit in your life is lacking!

  yes, this comment was just made by the speaker today!:.

  "if you find that you are lacking in joy or experiencing problems in life, this is evidence that jehovah's spirit is lacking or being blocked in your life".

  i sat there thinking "are you kidding me brother?...

  They are really top-notch crazies at the wts. Maybe we could print up thousands of No Guilt stickers (you know, the word GUILT with the red circle and slash) and stick them on the cars at the halls. Or maybe they should say Guilt was for jews, not jws!

  Way before I fell into the WT-world, I said that my mother should have been jewish as she was always so good at guilting me. (To be fair, her mother was no picnic.)

  I wonder if that's why it was so easy to buy into the jw crapola. I had been conditioned.

  Thanks, Gerry, just wanted to be sure I was reading that right. I love that the courts and judges in other countries seem concerned about the WTS' mishandling of pedophile cases. I only wish that they cared that much here in the US....so of course, I'm wondering if green handshakes are involved.

  It seems that the US press would be all over the sex abuse coverups in the WTS, as they are so fond of parading those of the Catholic church, yet it's all very hush-hush here.

  DNA memory

  by poopsiecakes in

  has anyone here ever researched or thought about dna memory?

  there's a lot of weird, esoteric stuff out there concerning this, like you can somehow access your ancestors' memories.

  that's not really what i'm talking about - to me, that sounds a little too fanciful.dna is a relatively recent discovery and obviously, there's still a lot to learn.

  I at times wonder what triggers certain reactions in me when I cannot relate them to something specific in my own life. I've assumed that it was "forgotten" memories but maybe it's DNA-related, I never thought about that possibility.

  priorities

  by drawcad_1 in

  is it just me or is the focus on building projects.

  i read through the study for this weekend and all of the focus was on new building construction.

  i was waiting for them to talk about the ministry, and it was in there, but not as the main priority.. i am amazed after visiting an old congregation of mine back in new england just how few (none) of the publishers had helped out on the new headquarters.

  So if I'm understanding this, the WTS wanted a Judicial Review to stall the Charity Commission's actions of forcing the WTS/cong to produce their records...and they lost. Is this correct?

  Why Do Atheists Struggle So Much Against God Who Supposedly Doesn't Exist?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an athist made this casual statememt on another thread:.

  this would suggest to me that there are at least some atheists that do have consistant beliefs.. .

  as an atheist, how could he possibly trust the reason that suggests this to himself?

  OTWO, thanks for posting the Carlin video. What an intelligent man, wish he was still around to rattle more cages.

  I am still amazed that my entire spiritual journey has led me to embrace the Universe and nature and people...but no god. This wonderful and sometimes painful experience of Life has been sooooooooo much more exciting, loving, peaceful, and just plain enjoyable since I left that godawful thing called jehovah's witnesses. The only good think I can say about it?

  It was my revulsion and self-removal from that horrible cult that led me to this place of Joy.

  But I spend no time ever "struggling against god" (whoever he is supposed to be) because there is no negativity where I live now. Oh, okay, there is some when I have to drive in rush hour traffic with snowbirds but other than that..........I am all smiles.

  So Perry....perish the thought. You are fighting way too hard to believe in something that doesn't even exist. Chill out. Find yourself. Find some peace.

  Governing Body new Branch letter begging for donations !

  by ToesUp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just want the governing body to know how "happified" i am today.

  keep sending those branch letters to the congregation(s) about sending your donations in.

  not only did you humiliate the rank and file with your tony morris tight pants talk but now you are begging the same people you humiliated for money.

  “What's the point? Brothers, we should expect them to despoil us of our human rights. We should expect them to confiscate all of Jehovah's belongings and close down and take possession of all our branches, factories, depots, kingdom halls, assembly halls, everything. Don't make any mistake about it. We are all in this together. We have a common enemy.”

  So if "THEY" are goingto take possession of all the jdub buildings.......then WHY would the dubs be telling everyone they need to build more?

  Hello? Surely SOMEONE can think through this and say "Hey, WAIT, THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!"

  Did you piss on their parade? Christmas?

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you were a jw and someone mentioned 'have a nice christmas' or 'have a nice holiday' did you just say 'thanks, enjoy it yourself' or did you piss all over their good mood and bore them to death about why you don't celebrate it?.

  I always smiled and said Thank You! in a cheerful way. I would have been too embarrassed to tell them all the crap about why we don't celebrate it....but I was fading before I realized I was fading.
