  Are you a healthier person since you left?

  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am healthier mentally - no more depression and i have the freedom to think and believe what is right for me and not dictated for me

  i am healthier emotionally - i have the freedom to be happy or sad or angry or whatever it is i feel in the moment.

  i no longer have to pretend to be happy to keep the congregation looking good.

  U.S. Presidential candidate John Kerry

  by Sneaky Russian in

  2. current

  is very similar to

  herman munster.

  but looks aside, moscow is worried that kerry may defeat bush and the seemingly good relations between russia and the u.s built up by putin and bush could fade away.

  "The Apostates Are Infiltrating The Congregations Now"

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at the circuit assembly, my mother mentioned to me that the society is warning of a new danger.

  there are witnesses that are on the internet reading apostate things but are still members of the congregation.

  they are slowly being infiltrated by the 'apostates' and are still amongst us.

  Building on WT sand?

  by Narkissos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a number of posts by recent and old members of jwd (i won't mention names) struck me as being only variants of the typical wt-stuff involving prophecies or chronology, based on mystical revelation and/or intensive personal study of the bible.

  generally those posters did not adhere to any other church, nor went through the academic cursus of theological and biblical studies.

  they seem to be quite lonely with their "truth", still persevere in it with remarkable consistency.

  You Live in California when...

  by AlanF in

  1. social
  2. humour

  you live in california when.... 1. you make over $250,000 and you still can't afford to buy a house.. 2. the high school quarterback calls a time-out to answer his cell phone.. 3. the fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.. 4. you know how to eat an artichoke.. 5. you drive your rented mercedes to your neighborhood block party.. 6. when someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will .

  take to get there rather than how many miles away it is.. .

  you live in new york city when.... 1. you say "the city" and expect everyone to know you mean manhattan.. 2. you have never been to the statue of liberty or the empire state building.

  A letter to the Parents

  by SixofNine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend gave me permission to post this.

  i think it's a good letter, it might help others formulate their thoughts; she understands it may not be read or considered deeply, but things can't get much worse with her family at this point anyway.

  no contact is not that much different than contact once per year or less, and sometimes it's just really important to have the people who should know you, at least know you a little.

  Question on the generation teaching

  by expatbrit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know about the wt's dramatic about face in 1995 on the generation thing.

  it was a large nail in their coffin, as far as i was concerned.

  after all, surely a verse so important, so relevant to our modern times would have been studied intensively at bethel.
