I agree with John Mann, stuckinarut, learn to love and respect yourself and then make new friends!
There's a whole world out there, the good, the bad and the ugly. Most people fall into the first category.

TO THE STUPID ATHEISTS:
by atheist_R_stupid inbeing that this is not "ex jws" and in fact, more driven by atheists talking a bunch of crap, im not even going to address you people like you know anything about jws because you dont.
nor am i going to assume you know the bible because none of you do.. and yes, im speaking down at you all because you men have actually went out your way to make a site to speak down at an entire group of people.
yet i bet you cant even handle a single uswer talking down at you, like you talk down about jws can you?.

The Plurality of God in Old Testament
by Clambake ini am not going to claim to be any kind of bible expert or a good writer or anything like that but do you ever notice how the wts has completely whitewashed this idea or anything relating to this..
from the beginning of the bible in the beginning god said let us make man in our own image , to the term elohim which literally means gods , to the angel of the lord in the old testament which is identified to being with god and god himself.
it is just kind of interesting when you read the book of john in the new testament and you start to read things like the word was with god and the word was god or no one has seen the father only the son it kind of makes sense without really fully understanding it.

How about "Watchtowistan" for a title? - Great!
What shall the capital city be called? Bethel? New Jerusalem? New Eden?

Why I like Jehovah's Witnesses
by undercover witness ini keep reading that jehovah's witnesses are in effect monsters.
i keep reading that they kinda leave chaos and distrust in their wake.
so i simply wondered if anyone had anything nice to say about them?.

To the OP - of course there are nice things to say about the witnesses. My friends that I had in the org were decent people. They didn't smoke, do illegal drugs or swear. So, obviously the vast majority of witnesses are not monsters.
However, one must distinguish between JWs and the WTS. It's the WTS, the JW hierarchy, that's really rotten.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of serious issues caused by different WTS policies.
There's the refusal of blood transfusions, the paedophile problem and the irrational rejection of higher ed.
These policies result in death, all types of abuse, and economic slavery/poverty to ordinary JWs that are only doing what they believe to be right.
And it's absolutely disgusting, I'm sure you'll agree.

Good points, prologos, although I think 'hell' would be a taboo subject

Great OP, EdenOne. Oh sh1t! imagine such a country ...
A place where the latest laws include a fine of 1000 euro for not turning in field service reports!
Premarital sex is a capital punishment!
Wearing ties is a legal requirement for all men at all times.
Although not strictly illegal, the WTS government frowns on both beards and tight pants.
Welcome to Yahwehland - twinned with Saudi Arabia!

Islam is a religion of Peace
by Coded Logic inwarning: poes law may apply.
i just wanted to take a moment and remind everyone that all muslims are good people.
"real" muslims would never kill in the name of their religion .

Here is my anticipated Seamas Milne article, right on schedule:
He says the Paris massacre is blowback from the Iraq war. He seems to think the real culprit in all this is the US.
Nurse!

andrekish - apparently, Islam does not mean peace. It means submission, although both salaam (peace, cf. Hebrew shalom) and islam (submission) share the same Arabic 3 letter root (s-l-m).
why do both sides always keep killing civilians who get in their way? - the West makes some effort to minimise civilian casualties; radical Islamists deliberately target civilians.
The West is as guilty as the East - not quite. For the West to be equally bad as radical Islam it would have to behead suspected terrorists in prison, Guantanamo Bay, etc. and film it.

It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?
by Nosferatu ini find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.
"for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!
but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

Good find, Splash.
some religious fundamentalists - very vague.
WTS are very good at rewriting their own history and sweeping their own mistakes under the carpet, aren't they?
