Wow...not that I didn't think that it was going on, but with glee and backslapping!?!? Meanwhile, Martha Stewart is going to get jail time for ripping off $100,000, the merest fraction of what the Enron boys have ripped off...Wow.

Mulan,
At first I didn't like Bill Maher. He just always seemed to be so arrogant and I had a hard time listening to him. However, the things that he was pointing out turned out to be accurate and I changed my view of him. His views on religion are spot on and I sure can relate. Thanks.

X,
Very powerful stuff indeed. I love the titles too, they just pull you right into the story. I thought that they were right on point about Myrtle Beach. I wonder how long the writer will be alive though? One day you might pick up the paper and read that the writer had an accident and is no longer with us.

was I stupid or what?
by Ciara inyou know, something dawned on me a while back and as i'm reading all the posts tonight, i can't stop thinking about this.. all of you guys seem like you knew for quite a while before you left that the jw's were full of crap.
i had doubts and questions, but the reason that i left was that i just gave up.
i knew that i was never going to be able to live up to their expectations and i just got so depressed that i quit.

while I was active I always thought that I was the one with the problem.
Ciara,
I thought the same thing, but you have to remember, that is what has been repeatedly drilled into our heads from the WTS. If you have depression problems? You are spiritually weak. You see problems in the congreagation that are not being addressed and you mention it to an elder? You are not waiting on Jehovah...he will take care of it in his own due time. You have small children and sometimes it is just too difficult to make it to the meetings 3 times a week? You don't appreciate the spiritual banquet that has been prepared for you.
There are many many more examples, but they all have one thing in common, it is always you that's to blame. Have you ever heard anyone from that cesspool ever take responsibility? Even when they admit that there are problems what do they say? Men are imperfect...You are finding fault and you have to overlook imperfection. So once again the blame falls on the poor individual who is just trying to live life and get along. So...don't be mad at yourself, be relieved (and I know you are) that you are now free.

If The Bible Is Truly The Word Of God...
by exjdub inwhy would he leave so many loose ends?
believe me, despite some of my comments about religion and my feelings about the bible, i do examine myself and my thinking process all of the time.
i really do think deeply about my life and the lives of my family, and i really try to examine how i feel.

Black Veil Lowers again?
by H. inhello i am new and this will probably be the last time i post.
nice forum by the way but honestly and with all due respect it is not something i would like to be associated with.
i joined saying "oh cool a jw forum" but after reading just 2 posts i realized it is the black veil all over again.

Actually, H. is my last name initial thats all, I don't do drugs, I hate drugs.
H.,
When I made the comment about your screen name my tongue was planted firmly in my cheek. I just couldn't resist tying it in with your comment about other people's screen name and I wanted to lighten things up a bit.
I can accept that you feel as strongly as you do. Like I said, I felt that way too. Still, I do hope that you establish your dedication with honest research. It will be invaluable to you. I wish you the best and actually hope that you stay on the forum. Warmest regards.
