  A bunch of them can fit in someone, mainly because they don't exist.

  1. social
  2. physical

  brother lett was giving the last talk of the day about what they supposedly accomplished in 100 years.

  i was just waking up so im paraphrasing alittle(i was dosing off all day) anyways in his introduction he said.

  "there is more evidence to prove gods kingdom on the earth is a reality than wind,electricity and gravity is a reality on the earth".

  I feel your pain, I mostly daydreamed during the convention in a attempt to not get brainwashed again. The worst part if the (SPOILER ALERT!) new release on brainwashing your kids...

  Also I know what it's like to see your friends waste their lives on this, all my friends were indoctrinated since they were little kids and I don't think there's any chance of them leaving.

  I'm aware and politics is one of the reasons I became aware. I always considered myself to be ultranationalist.

  Writing YA book about JWs...

  so i'm a amateur writer, though i lost my muse for the last story i was working on.

  but i had a good idea for a new young adult book that won't just be fun to read, it will help people learn ttatt.

  it would be about six or eight teenagers with jw parents, but they all lead double lives at school and away from the congregation.. i don't have many plot ideas yet though, so i'm trying to find someone to co write this with.

  I thought about nonfiction but I tried that before and I'm pretty bad at it, while I think I'm at least OK at fiction.

  By the way another chapter might be done by Sunday, it's a busy week for me since I have my convention starting tomorrow.

  Question for Atheists.. Did you gain a Greater Sense of Morality and Happiness?

  by objectivetruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've heard some view points that state, atheists are generally more moral & caring for fellow humans, than are theists.. i'd like to hear some personal stories of life changes and quality of life after you became atheist.

  i have a simple theory that may explain this.. i'll explain my theory if you'd like, after a few responses, as i really am interested in the personal changes that you experienced.. thank you very much, and i look forward to your stories..

  I don't consider myself someone who spends tons of time thinking about morals. But I am way happier as a Athiest since I don't have to worry about looming destruction, AKA Armagedon.

  jw.org getting out of hand

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems the watchtower staff have made a runaway train with the introduction of the mark jw.org.. the combination of using a gadget driven platform and the fact that the common jw is low educated and easely influenced.

  by new occurrings in their religion makes the situation getting out of hand.. proof: gb members wearing jw.org buttons during their speech, gifts with jw.org are given away, umbrellas with the jw.org are available.

  jw.org is more important then god, his son and the gospel.. it's the gadget and the jw.org mark that counts.. i am so happy my grandparents are not confronted with these idiots.. it's a runaway train heading to the end of the track.. gorby .

  I started writing this under the working title of Our Secret Lives. Here's the prologue.

  Logan Westenkamp used to just be a ordinary teenager. He was fifteen, nearly sixteen, lived in Long Beach, California, and used to never get in trouble. Emphasis on used to, but more on that later. But as he grew older and started thinking for himself more, not accepting everything he was told, he wanted more freedom. And that's when the problems started.

  Abigail "Abi" Brand had a common bond with Logan. They were both German-American, and both had parents who were Jehovah's Witnesses. And they both hated that. Abi's German accent was strong, like Logan's, and it made the two stand out in school, and sometimes it made the cool kids pick on them. But what really got the two teens bullied was the religion. Both Abi and Logan didn't want to be part of the Witnesses. But you couldn't leave the religion until you were eighteen, and both would be stuck for a bit longer until they were old enough. Why didn't they like it? Well, that will be explained later.

  Tara Hill was the opposite of Abi. She was popular in school, one of the 'cool girls'. All the boys wanted to date her. And most of the girls envied her good looks and rich family. But what they didn't know was that she was a Witness too, albeit secretly. And she wanted out just as much as Abi and Logan did. Tara, like Logan, just wanted freedom; Freedom to date, freedom to wear what she wanted, and most of all, freedom to choose her own religion.

  Demetrius "DJ" Jones wants to fight in the UFC one day. He practices in secret, hoping to one day join his favorite fighter, TJ Dillashaw, in the Bantamweight division. But with his parents causing problems for him, he may have to give up his martial arts for good.

  Jeremy Zeller, the school's best athlete, is in the same position as DJ. Jeremy grew up loving hockey and hoped to one day play in the NHL, but after being forced off the hockey team by his Witness parents, he learns the hard way that life isn't always fair. With a junior hockey contract on the line for the young star, it's either convince his parents to play or do it in secret.

  Finally, there was the quiet girl. Amity Morgan, the one no one knew anything about. The girl who didn't have friends, partly due to Tara and the other popular girls.

  But when things get tough with their parents, all of these teens band together, living a secret life where they have the one thing they want: freedom.

  Post here or PM me if interested.
