  XXJW's...Dem's or Rep's??? Why?

  by upside/down in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what do you think xxjw's tend to become politically in the usa?

  the phrase from the frying pan into the fire seems appropriate.

  i'm not an anarchist...but i refuse to trade religious masters for political ones... but some enjoy exercises in futility...just look at the die hard dubbies.. it seems that the borg mentality tends to produce more dem's (or they just talk louder?

  I detest where the Republican party is right now. I do not believe it reflects the nation. I think its every bit as based on fear as the cult we left. On the other hand, I'm not happy with the dems either. Most of them need to grow a set of balls, speak up, and stay on message. I also think that both parties need to do some serious finance reform, both parties should only be able to use federal funding for campaigning, accept no perks (even meals) from lobbyists, and get out of bed with big business. Republicans right now are turning our nation into a plutocracy, the dems are at least trying to protect the constitution.

  So, at that, I would answer to democrate more than republican, because I think they are the lesser of the two evils. I would vote green if they had an ice-cube's chance in hell of winning any race.

  Lo-ru-hamah, have you heard of the posting guidelines? You say "liberals" are full of hate and then come on to two threads that I know of and call people names.

  Swalker----------do you drive a car dumb ass?

  Very first one:

  1. Insulting, threatening or provoking language.

  Very fine example you set. All Swalker said was there was another oil spill in Alaska and it makes her wonder how safe drilling would be. Did you try to tell her what safeguards would be put in place? Did you try to reason with her with facts? No, you came out swinging and calling names.

  Do Some JW Elders Secretly Consider It Possible That They Are Wrong?

  by West70 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i recently heard this "experience" from a now "christian" former jw, which has not previously been publicly communicated.

  this jw then moved back to their home area (no jw relatives), and simply continued living their already-in-progress non-jw life.

  inevitably, this exjw christian started bumping into their jw former associates.

  Huh? Connection between the conversation and this dude's death? This stuff just gets crazier all the time. Circumstances.

  Yes, there are some elders still active that question, have doubts, and even don't believe, who stay in for their families. How do I know this? Some are on this board.

  Do I think that a vengeful christian god smote this poor bastard for calling your friend or yourself? Absolutely not.

  Do you still believe in JEHOVAH?

  by lowden in

  2. friends

  further to the thread that minimus stated about 'still believing'....what i want to know is do any of you stil believe in jehovah?

  that is, the named god of the bible that sanctioned the genocide of millions of unbelievers.

  as the israelites came into the 'promised land' god told them to devote to destruction 7 populous nations and not let a breathing thing live, or in other words commit genocide!!!

  Diet is next. For now I'm concentrating on getting out a few times a week for a walk with the pups. The exercise will give me the willpower for the diet. It gets me more centered, and then I can feel better and feel like I can actually do the diet. Probably makes no sense to anyone but me!! Today we're heading out again.

  In order to believe anything left of what they taught I would have to have some sort of biblical-based belief system. Their's IS loosely based on their interpretation of that book. I do not have that type belief system, so no. I can say unequivacably I have NOTHING left of their belief system. (I may not know how to spell them, but I learned my big words in the WT!)

  Gumby you have been a bad bad boy. You will now be stripped down and placed in the stocks, where you will be flogged until you beg forgiveness for your sins.

  Bad Gumby.

  Outdoor Spirituality.

  by jeeprube in

  i often find myself engaged in outdoors activities.

  once while fly-fishing on a sunday, i realized a deep spiritual feeling.

  standing in a trout stream, watching an otter swim by, and listening to the gurgle of moving water, i felt closer to god than i ever had in a kingdom hall.. has anyone else ever felt this?
