I'd like extend a greeting to all members of JWN. I've been a lurking by-stander of this forum for approximately 6 months. I think this forum's best moments can be attributed to the involvement of actual JW's in doctrinaire discussions and to heated (though not always dialectic) debates. With the obvious want of participating, existent, actual JW's, I felt it necessary to become a member as that intellectual stimulation for which I so yearned had thus dissipated almost completely (from a lurking perspective). So my intention for joining this forum is to revivify, by participation, such discussions (i.e. JW and ex-JWs) and perhaps contribute growth or understanding (by virtue of my perspective and yours), since we can never cease to know more about ourselves and the world around us. So thanks to the moderators and participants for this opportunity. I can't wait to engage in discussion!
Greetings! From an Existent JW!

Sure! Let's pick a topic. How about the WTS being the closest to following God's Holy spirit in our day?
"...attributed...doctrinaire...dialectic...obvious...dissipated...intention... revivify..."

Welcome!
Of course, I am always confused because from a JW perspective, aren't you going against what the "Slave" is directing by joining an "apostate" website and posting comments? I've never understood this from the apologists who have joined.

Let's talk about the new " Slave " doctrine that you must believe until it changes again. My wife recently learned of this nu-light and thinks it makes perfect sense! Well, gotta go. I need to review my " Reasons not to kill myself " list.
