  the scientology orientation video is on google video.

  it reminds me a lot of the bethel video that the jw's put out, except the scientologist have celebrity endorsers.

  My favorite part:
  
  "Scientology is 99% effective."
  
  Five minutes later...
  
  "We are not making any claims for Dianetics and Scientology."

  Here is a list of things to blame Bush about: bring Hurricane Katrina, not doing enough about Katrina, me stubbing my toe this morning, and for being a white man.
  
  I am most concerned about him making me stub my toe this morning. It hurt really, really bad.
  
  I am really tired of people (mostly on the left) taking Katrina and making it political before the first person has been buried.

  I listened to the audio book. It was a really good book and got me thinking and checking to see how much was fiction and how much was based on truth. I even watched a show that was on TV, The Da Vinci Code Fact or Fiction.
  
  The part that surprised me the most was about Jehovah's female consort Shekinah (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=shekinah&btnG=Search).

  Did You Usually Feel Guilty While A JW?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  my 79 year old mom that has every ailment known to man was going to the bookstudy this afternoon because she felt "guilty" for not going the last couple of meetings due to illness.

  i told her it was 95 degrees outside and asked her not to go since she has difficulty breathing.

  she decided to do it anyway.

  JW's are based on guilt. Therefore, EVERYONE should have felt guilty or at least had a guilt trip.

  How Much Time Did You Spend as a JW?

  by eljefe in

  25 years total .

  15 years baptized .

  also, does the resentment for jw's grow in a linear or a exponential manner with time spent as a jw?.

  Also, only 1 person commented on the resentment. In other words, does the longer the amount of time spent in JW's make you a lot more or about the same resentful about the time you spent in?

  As I look at this list I think of the cheesy commercials on TV where they "Over 25 years of combined experience." From this list I see we have about 300 years of getting screwed.

  I believe it is exponential since you have less of your life to live.

  Newsweek versus the Watchtower?

  by Fatfreek in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this from one of 1,367 similar stories that grabbed google's new headlines: "last week at least 16 people in afghanistan were killed in violent clashes sparked by the report.

  ", all thanks to the recent newsweek reporting blunder.

  those of us who love freedom of the press, and i'm included, have to question -- what line was crossed between responsible reporting and that which incites other people toward hate -- hatred enough to kill 16 people?

  Here are my thoughts. After 9-11 there was very little if any protest from Muslims in the Middle East. Someone supposedly does something to a Quran and all hell breaks loose.

  I remember when I decided to leave JW's, before I realized the truth about JW and the Bible. I thought "If Armageddon really comes, I will just commit suicide right then." That is always a nice thought in the back of your head.
