Sorry for breaking rank here but... teeeheee. Momofmany , is your avatar a dragon from Ultima Online?
To be honest, I can't remember where I got him. I've had him for a few years now, and for the life of me, I just can't remember. Sorry.

What really bothers me about my JW research.
by ithinkisee insome of you may know, but i have been on a serious journey through watchtower "theology", and by association, have gone back all through the history of christianity.
i know many on this list have gone thru the same thing.
i have checked out probably 100 archeological, religious, and history books from the library.

I can argue VAT/BM documents, royal inscriptions, Ptolmey, Berossus, definite articles until I'm blue in the face - but it is as simple as this:
People offered themselves up as a human sacrifice to the Watchtower Society - voluntarily and unnecessarily. If that is not demonic, I don't know what is.
Just wanted to vent .... thanks ...
Thanks for the vent. It angers me as well. Sometimes I think I am the only one who notices things, and then I come here, and you all let me know, there are still thinking humans in the world.

What made you "see the light"?
by hubert ini realize many (or all) of the ex-j.w.
's in this forum have either gotten out of the org., faded, or in some way have come to the conclusion that the watchtower is not the "faithful and discreet slave", and is not the "true" religion that they claim to be.
i am curious to know..... "what made you see the light"?.

It was my children. When my son had a study with someone from the hall. I was a single mom, and he was helping me with the boys. It was a mess, and I wound up cancelling his study. Then I had to explain why to my son. The elders were no help. They tried to guilt me into starting it up again. Then I wondered if I wanted my children always feeling guilty for things that are normal. That's when I started looking. I was told the truth wasn't my own, and I needed to get a firmer grasp, so I started with something simple. 607/1914. Ya know, get back to basics so to speak. Well, that kind of blew up in my face. Instead of it making me a good witness, it made me question more. I think the UN was a big factor in it too.

Does Jehovah God Mean Anything To You Any Longer???

are you in that category (yet)?

I honestly don't know what I believe in anymore. Right now, I still want to believe in Jehovah, but I don't. I feel guilty for not believing he is the true god. I think he will fall way of Zeus and the rest.

I was driving to my brother's in North Carolina. We were driving down thru Virginia, and I saw a sign for Natural Bridge, on of the seven natural wonders of the world. I said, hey let's check it out. Well, it was 7 am, and no way to get in. Then I saw Foamhenge! It's a life size replica of Stonehenge. Well I had to stop.
When I am trying to live my life, I stop at tourist attractions, and drive sometimes until I find something. I get off the highway and see the attraction on my way to my destination.
Besides that, I try to play with my children. I love to cook good meals. We eat as a family every night, so I try to make good meals. Sometimes we play hooky, and run to the ocean, or something similar.
And good books. I love to read a good book. Every night when m crew is in bed, and I am getting ready to settle in for the night, a good book is great.

I can't find my copy right now, but isn't that the one that has the word Preembryo? Of course I had to do a bit of research on this, because if they are trying to educate, they would use the words that are used by medical staff. Well I found this:
(4) The term "preembryo" is not an accepted term and serves as a false distinction between the developmental stages of a human embryoDavis v Davis v King, Seven Frozen Embryos
So of course I talked with my Mother about this, to which she replied, well they are making it a new word. Things develop and change. People will now use this word because the society said it's ok. I'm like WTF? You can't make up words as you like.

Protecting your kids
by Lehaa injust saw a great news report on how to protect you kids from predators.. it all revolves around a code word.. you and your kids agree on one.
if someone different is to pick your kids up you give then the code word.
if they don't know the word then the kids know that you did not send them.

Here is one tip that I got, and will pass on. People don't always look at kids yelling. Thinking they are just having a temper tantrum. I told my gang, that if a man tries to take you, Scream, he's not my dad. or if a woman, she's not my mom.
We also do the buddy system in the bathrooms. We do a lot of road trips. The 5 boys go into the restroom together, and they come out together.(THere are many stalls in the bathrooms on 95, so there is plenty of room for all of them) If they leave anyone behind, they must come into the ladies room with me. (Never had to do that yet)
Your local sherriffs department should have a kit to collect your own identification kit for your child. Keep them handy, and keep the pictures updated. (not like me. My son is 14, and I think his picture his was 10. Yes I am fixing this right now)
Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Everyone. I have been MIA for a while now. I guess too much information, and I kind of shut down. I did not realize I had only scratched the surface when I left last fall. I did not go to the memorial for the first time, and the kids and I took off for a two week vacation. Cleared my head, and am back again. I am trying to read all the post for the last month or so, but I know I am way behind. I hope everyone is well. Thanks for being here. You all are great!
