  They might come out with a program on their next CD that you can add to your "parental security" that blocks out all jw related sites automatically under the sections of spiritism/occult/radical fundamentalism

  Hi Susan
  First off
  Thanks for the concern for my husband, no one is more concerned than I.

  Second
  This is not intentional. When friends come over and we discuss news, world events, the latest book, etc. the WT parallels are not discussed, they are just blatently obvious. I can't help that, I don't make up the news or WT agendas.

  Now for the reasons why?
  I crave & miss intelligent, adult discussions about world news, human relations, other cultures, new ideas etc.
  We used to call it "Solving world problems" when we'd all get together maybe have a few beers and let the opinions fly. Everyone always ended up learning something - if not about the topics certainly about each other. Its a part of building relationships.
  So
  We agree to disagree.... (me following order not to discuss WT related topics - thats why I come here, on the sly of course so as not to offend)
  Since WT thinking is intricately woven into all aspects of human thought, it makes it difficult to discuss anything with any depth other that maybe the weather. Even that is risky if it happens to be a very dark day, or the thunder is extra loud.
  One day you can talk - the next day you can't,
  one day your opinions matter, are valued and even asked for - the next day you're accused of speaking for the devil.

  Sorry if you think what I do is sickening, i'm in the middle of the greiving process and only want my husband back.

  My kids will learn independent thinking is a gift to grow by.
  And I will not by example wear the invisible burka.

  Will Power, I use it all to hold my tongue.

  these letters will blow your mind!.

  it's hard to beleive that one or two small-minded men in the service dept.

  could be responsible for thousands of medical emergencies going bad or even death.

  Good comments aC

  Exactly the same thing the Jews say about the law given to THEM!
  www.jewfaq.org

  Everyone knows that the Ten Commandments command us not to murder. The full scope of Jewish law goes much farther in requiring us to protect our fellow man. We are commanded not to leave a condition that may cause harm, to construct our homes in ways that will prevent people from being harmed, and to help a person whose life is in danger. These commandments regarding the preservation of life are so important in Judaism that they override all of the ritual observances that people think are the most important part of Judaism.

  the article cites Heb 12

  One side of the mouth states the NT is written for & to the annointed
  who are sons in the new covenant, yet use the "God disciplines his sons scripture" to validate their taking God's place and casting out the earthly class as if they were sons?

  A christian being judged by men substituting themselves for God.
  Ps 43
  Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation;
  O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!
  For You are the God of my strength;
  why have You rejected me?
  Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

  Surely God's ONLY org on earth, His mouthpiece, can't be using the defense with a straight face:

  Well everyone else was doing it!
  Until Caesar makes a law in a certain state, we'll do what God wants and save our face.

  A DOOM & GLOOMER AFTER MY OWN HEART

  by You Know in

  2. friends

  the controversy regarding the future is my no means confined to apostate dubs and jehovah's witnesses.

  many other than "bible thumpers" can see big trouble looming just around the next bend.

  of course they are ridiculed too by those with opposing views.

  LAROUCHE THROWS RIDICULERS TRIPLE CURVE

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  or this could be titled: "ridicule this!

  " that's because the ridiculer doesn't just ridicule old men in brooklyn, or the bible, or the religion of their family; rather those so inclined ridicule reality itself.

  the beauty of the truth, though, is that it is irrepressible, so much so that even some of the sons of this system can, by the power of reason, unknowingly arrive at the same conclusion jehovah forsaw centuries before.

  I'm a "spiritual widow" and am not to discuss such matters with him.
  (and I can't stand that line "can't we just agree to disagree")
  What I do for stimulating conversation is invite a friend or 2 over and introduce a current, controversial topic or some kind, like say afganistan & the taliban, muslim history, jewish history, fundamentalism, etc and just go at it from all angles. I can see he wants to contribute but knows that his arguments don't hold water. But it sure gets him thinking, I think.
  Little at a time I hope.
