having a dark night of the soul
by Miss Behaving ini'm writing this here because i need someone to talk to, and you're the only folks i know who will understand.
most of the time i think i'm a pretty happy and together person, but lately, i'll see something that reminds me of my family and i'll spontaneously start crying.
i miss them so much and my heart keeps breaking, and even though i have kind people i work and volunteer with, i feel so incredibly lonely sometimes.

I have nothing of insight to offer but that for every person that commented above there were probably dozens like me that just read, unable to offer any words of wisdom, but with hearts full of sympathy.
Just try to claw out whatever enjoyment you can from life, I've managed to find a perverse kind of pleasure just being awakened yet still sitting through the indoctrination sessions.
Our thoughts are with you matey.

If Women were elders, would it make a difference in the organization?
by John Aquila inimagine three single sisters who qualified to be appointed as elders in the congregation.
they qualified because they started reaching out in their early teens.
persistently and methodically they worked their way through the ranks by pioneering then becoming a m.s.

True dat.
I'm forty years in, two years awakened, and (so the filly with the fine pins tells me) stubborn as a mule. I'll get her out, she's worth the wait.

Help with understanding
by Doltologist inplease take pity on me someone and help.. i was going to say that i suffer from aspergers syndrome but actually, i've come to rather enjoy it.. no, seriously, i really do have aspergers which is why my posts may seem a little odd to some of you.
ok, they may seem bloody odd to most of you.. my world exists in a binary frame.
things are or they are not.. i know that in the "real world" things might be or might not be as well as are and are not.

Dolt and cap'n, thanks for this discussion. I'm not going to weigh in intellectually as I haven't got anything to offer, but I've been trying to listen to a lot of Robert M Price's analyses of who wrote what and when, including which myths came first, and who borrowed what from whom.
I'm now going to check out carrier's work as I've been looking for a book on the dissection of the scriptures. If you have any further recommendations (specially cap'n regarding the consensus view), I'm all ears...

How do you have a picture of my wife's legs?
I can't blame you, they're jolly nice.
Exactly the reason I'm still in. For her sake.

I've read it on pdf but really think that if I want to show anyone anything in it, the physical book would be far superior. Ridiculous prices on amazon.. -

Doltologist - welcome to the site, I reckon you're gonna be a hoot to have around!
I'm in the UK too, is skeptics in the pub just a brummie thing? I think I heard one of you guys on cognitive dissonance podcast a while back..
Jw talk is THE pro jw forum, but you won't stand a chance on there, it's so heavily moderated you'll be kicked off before you can say evolu......
They don't tolerate any questions or debates, it's just an "aren't we so good" fest over there. And I can fairly guarantee you that less than one percent of all witnesses will even know who Dawkins is never mind having read any of his writings. It's not allowed, if any of us (yes, I'm to all intents and porpoises an active, but non believing jw) got caught reading such material there'd be an inquisition. And nobody expects that!
Stick around bro, you'll no doubt get some discussions here anyway..
