you'll be back. Richard Pryor comedy dialogue on when he was

hooked on drugs. He said the pipe would call him, smoke me you

will feel better, you don't need no one but me, they don't understand

I understand, I'm your friend. LOL

But if you are at the point to move on, that's great.

Why a JC if the adulterous mate is forgiven?

by snugglebunny in

supposing a man's wife has had an affair, confessed all and genuinely regrets what's happened.

the husband, after much soul searching and agonising, realises how much he still loves her and how much both of them want to rebuild their shattered relationship.. why should that woman then have to sit in front of a judicial men-only committee and give a blow-by-blow account of her affair?.

how would that make her husband feel, knowing that his wife is sharing intensely private stuff about her affair with several other guys?.

James Mixon

have any ex-elders here had a case where someone denied committing

adultery or fornication when the other party had come forward to confess??

Lets say the woman come forward , the guilt is too much. If the

guy comes in and tell the elders I have no idea what this woman is talking

about, I have never touch her, she is nuts, what can the elders do???

Another topic on child abuse I believe someone mention this, two witness thing.

Why do people "come back"?

i know of several examples of ones that "left the truth" for up to 20 years, only to suffer through the reinstatement process and feel like they are finally back on track.. how does this happen?.

i personally know of one example where a father of three, leaves jws, abandons wife and family, lives as a gay man then comes back 20 years later as a partaking member of the anointed..

How many of you here would return (KH) if N. Korea or China dropped

a nuclear bomb in N.Y, the start of WW3.?? Speaking for myself i

would volunteer for the home front, not for one minute would I consider running

back to the KH...

For all still in.... fakers. Help.

by Sofia Lose in

am i alone in this feeling?

i wish i could muster the cojones needed to tell my husband "i want a divorce, move away, not be a jw anymore!".

i find myself screaming these same words over and loud inside my mind, several times a day, and yet on the outside my actions could not be more opposed to these inner feelings.. sometimes i worry that this internal conflict will cause me to go crazy.

wheninDoubt;"if you don't want to be JW because you see the desires of

the world, and you believe it's passing you by", are you serious.

Are you talking about higher education, celebrating your child birthday and

no one lost their head, not knocking on doors to sale your religion or just

growing up like a regular teenager.

Please tell us what desires are you talking about??????

Who exactly is an apostate?

by SonoftheTrinity in

if you are a non-believing relative or spouse who is hostile to their doctrine are you an apostate?

if you studied with them and rang the logical fallacy buzzer for chits and giggles to see how they would react does this make you an apostate?.

if you are a born in who never got baptised does this make you an apostate?.

James Mixon

Oh I forgot, we must include Jesus or Paul. Yes from Judaism to Christianity.

Please help me figure out my dreams

hi everyone, this may be the stupidest post ever.

i am stumped for an answer and would love to hear your opinions, though.

every week or two for the last couple of years, i have a dream--or at least that's what i'm calling it--that consists of me waking up or thinking that i've waked up, and seeing the ceiling of my darkened bedroom filled with algebraic equations.
