Hi - all these posts re "coming out" seem kind of paranoid or,what's the word or phrase, like delusions of grandeur, i mean no offense with this but it just seems like few jws would care who you are - at least now they wouldn't care if you done left already - am i missing something?

Who is the Faithful and Wise Servant? It's JOSEPH, of course!
by Leolaia inwho is the faithful and wise servant?
it's a question that the wt has misused to establish its own authority.
as it is, the parable today as a cautionary tale applies to whoever it fits, but it is clear who the original servant was that inspired the parable.. .

"the Society teaches"
by somebody in*** w98 3/15 p. 19 living up to christian dedication in freedom ***
4 in order to avoid misunderstandings, jehovah?s witnesses try to be careful about how they express themselves.
instead of saying, ?the society teaches,?

Tree of life
by BluesBrother inlets face it, the bible does not say and so any explanation is little more than speculation.
those of us here that believe the bible has value can only reason on it as we see fit.
personally, i do accept the scripures but i do not see the need to take all of genesis quite as literally as the wt does.

"If he was truly concerned about his position and needing to have exclusive devotion, why didn't he just create people who were automotons, instead of telling Adam and Eve, "okay, I'm giving you the right to decide, but if you choose to not do as I ask, I'm going to end your life. Is that truly free will, or loving?"
Maybe to be in god's image requires the ability to choose final life or death for one's self so they had to have that opportunity
any thougts on this? -

ese's story - a movie of the week special
by ese innot much of as story - raised by extended family - some r jws - never got baptised cuz i always saw the doctrines of men in the "theology" - but have always had a fascination with the religion, but not any anger toward it - i know of a writer who thinks jws and other groups are reptilian aliens and that they seriously messed with some minds - i wonder if that is true - and i read another book that was way different - it was about some jws and some non-jws it is hard to explain but it was pretty good - actually really good - i had to read it in my college contemporary humanities class - .
so i am sort of like the rest of you absent the anger - and unlike those of you who no longer believe in god - i kind of would like to find a religion or a faith or an ideology that truly glorifies god - the one described in the hebrew bible that some of you rank on - maybe that's why i m here - maybe i m looking for god .
any questions

"Statistical liklihood on one hand; most people do, thus the answer to the question "Did you know your parents"? is (rightly or wrongly) normally assumed without asking. On the other hand it drills into a possible inconsistancy in your story (the liklihood that most parents would be unhappy about this (if they knew))."
what do you mean here? i do not understand the following: "On the other hand it drills into a possible inconsistancy in your story (the liklihood that most parents would be unhappy about this (if they knew))" -

"ese: . . . I'd love to know what your mother or father thought of this though; it is a little odd for people to be sanguine about their teenager wafting off to MaccyDees with a bunch of strangers to scrounge food.
So, now at least we know you are at least partly what you say you are..." -
