Still think theres a God
The only observed mechanism by which this can be accounted for is hereditary relationship.
What about unobserved mechanisms?
I like to believe in fairy tales.

They dont want to go back in, but feel it is still the truth and that they must encourage you!!
I had experience of this myself.
They are always waiting for armaggeddon and their execution. Very sad.
I know a couple of people like that and possibly used to feel that way myself for a few years.
The one guy is militant, when supporting the society, even though the society have dumped him on the outside and pretty much cut him off from everything he has trusted in for over 30 years. I get annoyed with him at times for supporting an institution that shows so little care, but then step back and realize that he is simply weak and damaged.

They won't sit and study "Christian Freedom / Ray Franz" ... if they had they truth, they would commit themselves to study any material, as truth should stand before anything.

Why no long hair ?
by A Paduan in.
christendom has jesus with long hair - from the start i believe
so why no long hair - is it simply because of a literal reading of paul ?

but if they tell me that i wont be able to give talks on min school
Well, lucky old you then
I refused to join the school and never did a talk due to my nerves not being up to the job when I was a JW. I really felt for a brother who forced himself to do talks and had to rush to the loo afterwards. Really, really stupid (James CH:3 V:1 - always makes me feel better about the situation and more JWs should use that scripture against Elders who apply pressure).

Well, I found the video interesting and I tend to believe the evidence presented.
I also think (know) the US has scum at the top end.
It is important to present this information to a wider audience who for the most part are living in slumber land. When you wake up, you have a chance to say no to these powers and refuse to be coerced into schemes set to take away your rights as an idividual.

Well, I have some pictures of ancient Jews with shoulder length hair as well, so...
Possibly a Roman custom to have the hair cut short?
My hair looks rather shaggy and I don't think the local elders would like my beard either

What Do Jehovah's Witnesses Have Right OR Wrong?
by Flash inbiblicaly speaking that is.
we know their cult mentality with all its manipulation tactics and abusive authority is wrong.
but as far as their understanding of the bible, what do you believe they have right or wrong?.

Jehovah is not a trinity. WRONG
I am soooo tempted to get you to explain yourself, but... well, can't be botheredOne thing the Witnesses do ' fairly ' well is place emphasis upon a moral code of conduct which is refreshing in this topsy-turvey world (try not to bite my head off voices of dissension, I am aware of the shunning policy).

I still think it might be the truth - what is wrong with me?
by slimboyfat inapostate literature - i have read the lot.
you name it - c of c, gentile times reconsidered, thirty tears a watchtower slave, the orwellian world of jehovah's witness, apocalypse delayed, and the freeminds and watchtower observer sites, so on and so on.
and i have been reading the posts on this site regularly pretty much since it started, and hourglass before it.

Are we sure that this thread is a valid way to spend a day?
It seems as though our friend is uncertain of his own pathway. He also claims to have read lots and lots of material over the years and it is doubtful he will listen to any old news on this thread, as he knows it all
Its fun to watch the threads expand though.
I find it interesting that lots appear to be jumping upon this thread to comment. Maybe we are simply defending our own ideologies?

Apostates on this site pretty much admit that one main reason they left was because they did not want to live up to Bible standards (please don't eat me alive for saying this - it is true)
That appears to be the case with certain individuals and for a time, believe me, I decided to turn my life over to drugs and a few other vices. But then, I examined myself and decided to clean up my act in light of the standards I believed in within my heart.
Others leave for scriptural reasons and I do not think Ray Franz left because of breaking Bible principles. I also read CF with great interest and read about 2/3's of CoC (before growing tired of the material - I had read enough basically).
You have sadly made a broad generalization and have fallen into the overtly judgemental mindset (very JW infact).
The UN thing - so what if the Witnesses joined the UN, what's the big deal?
I had to sit through the study of "Revelation: Its Climax At Hand" - as I am sure you have. You know that being affiliated with the UN is a big deal, according to this book and other publications!
Saying all of this though, I do understand how you feel and I wish you all the best in your personal journey.
