i went from the jw's and got heavy into martial arts.
i have a black belt in kenpo karate, tkd, and kenjitsu and also hold ranks in jujitsu and other lower ranks in other systems.
i learned ages ago it is nothing evil like witnesses said it was, and have actually trained a few ex-jw's in my time.
Yeah me my fine little friend, I was into it deeply from about 17 to 25. As I look back on it before my head injury it seemed I could do many things others could not, I had no healthy fear of things that I should of, I felt I was indestructible. To some extent back then I was, its like something was just in-front of me just before I attempted a move at something, its hard to explain, I could control my pain or fear.
I wish I could do that now.

like the one of the little girl falling into a big crack in the earth, a picture of amagedon from the paradise book.
few witness's stop and ponder just how sick that really is to show kids that at a young age.
if anyone has that post it to this thread for others to see just how hurtful that could be for children of a tender age.

everlasting life on a paradise earth.
this hope permeates the very being of every jw.
does it mention everlasting life on a paradise earth?

First, Egypt was a Devil-ruled pagan country, not a place for divine revelation; second, God does not accomplish his work through the type of slave labor that built the pyramids; third, Christians are told that they must live by faith, not by sight; and fourth, if the Christian congregation was to be taught by the measurements of this ancient pile of stone either Jesus or some of the apostles would have said something about it; and they did not. A briefer account of this is found in the , issue of The Watchtower.
I write>>> It has been porven that the people who built the pyramids did so as a life long work it was there trade they were not slaves no more than a federal worker could be looked upon as a slave. They had many provisions for their labors.
when i was a kid, we did halloween every year.
no big deal, just costumes and trick or treating, but that was the 70's.
when i was 11 we stopped celebrating everything, and several years ago i left the jw's.
I love Halloween I find there are some people who are spooky all the time about demons and stuff, most people could care less about the history of Halloween. When you see little kids dressed like Barny you know it can't be all about incantations.
a jw relative brought out something i actually had to agree with.
we were discussing positive vs. negative aspects of the "truth".
she brought out that the witnesses do not participate in war, and i thought 'gee, that's probably a good thing'.
Oh gee they clean behind their seats after the meetings. And they no longer tape the chairs, and get drunk after assemblys, and last if not lest the brothers no longer look at the pretty sisters.
i had to df my brother a few days ago!
i just wanted to visit him and my family late december.
anyway, he said, "we don?t want you here!
Right on! Your doing the right thing, you don't have to be a Witness to have a brother hood heck you have one right here. Be happy that you are backing out of a cult or as some call it the Borg" the name fits. You have heard of the saying "get a life" well that is what you have done is got your life back and pushed away the poison punch. Live long and prosper.
for me i would say that half the reason i am depressed is directly cause from being raised a witness, i am 50 now.

whats your oppinion on gambling?
do you think its wrong?
or more specifically, is it wrong to have a bet with someone over who's going to make it to be a jedi first, especially when the bet involves large amounts of beer for the winner?
Use your own mind on the matter, are you tired enough yet of having some pin headed religious zealots telling you how you should live your life. Come on get a life!
i'm testing my hypothosis here.... the question is this.... "does the wt org.
get special revelations from god today.".
if they answer "yes," then they are going against the bible which says that all scripture is complete.. if the say "no," then we can say, "then why do you say we should follow you.".
Yes, the witness's have the out look that they are Gods people, how do they know they are Gods people did God tell them they were. Did he tell them will he ever tell them,or anyone else for that matter, Its this high mindedness that sickens me so much about religion, they speak for God at every opportunity they want so bad to be worshipped by men and women its shameful.
