POLL----Will The Witness Religion Ever Cease To Exist?
by minimus ini think jws will be around forever.
i do believe they will, as time goes on, lose many or most of their members.
but i do think that there will always be some around to continue the religion....maybe years from now they'll become more mainstream, i don't know.

Do people still believe there was a global flood?
there is plenty of evidence that supports that the earth was at one stage flooded, at least large parts of it. eg ancient civilizations in south america who built cities at really high altitudes to avoid the rising water levels -

WT Paradox: ``In Your Face" Religion, Reclusive GB
by Room 215 init struck me that, for all the emphasis they put on evangelism and public preaching, the borg's leaders are actually a reclusive, shadowy lot.
the only large audiences they will address are their own members, they rarely grant interviews and never seek opportunities to lead by preaching their message in a public or media forum.
quite the contrary; in the one instance where jaracz made an appearanace (cornered by a bbc reporter), he came across as combative, and mean-spirited hardly as a spiritual leader of six million-plus.

Isn't their reasoning that they are god inspired and just messengers, hence they do not look for the public eye and gain glory for themselves like televangelists etc. do..
I'm sure they're also trying to avoid 'fanatic' apostates who would try and attack them with their warped interpretations of the societies beliefs, and what about all the emotionally abuse victims, and other people who might try take out their frustrations violently -

Alcyone : The brightest star in the Pleiades, in the constellation Taurus
at least i think thats what was referred to..
I somehow doubt it was
"Greek Mythology. A nymph, one of the Pleiades." -

"No matter what happens, there will always be a JW group around. Big businesses just don't easily go away unless the gov't shuts them down. Now if THAT happened......"
They would be driven underground, enhancing support for them being persecuted and them being the true religion, that is if you're an idiot and believe it.. -

our family does ok, as in we pay the bills every month and aren't in debt, thats on around $1.5k pm, and I can say easily that we're a LOT more well off than the average family in this country. I know cost of living is cheaper here, but there are plenty of families that have no employed people and survive off one persons pension, I'm talking 4-5 kids 2-3 adults living of $80-$90 per month. With unemployment here at around 35% its not easy for people to dig themselves out..
Maybe you people should reconsider your financial situations a little bit and realise that you are actually doing ok -

WTS retro slogan t-shirt designs
by Pleasuredome in.
with the 80's coming back into fashion, design or give ideas for your own wts slogan t-shirt in the style that was all the rage back then.
it's a good piss take, and would look great at an apostofest.

WHO FEARS ARMAGEDDON?
by betty boop inthe more time that passes, the less i even think about it.
i dont really believe in it but now and again i get a nagging fear of "what if we're all wrong and it is true" and boom big lighting rods and earthquakes come and shatter us all and i think damn and i almost beat jah on this one .
its so silly i know im right about my decison to leave the dubs but they psychologicaly messed with us for so long sometimes your like woah what if theyre right!.

I still get the odd paranoia, I've made the wrong choice, I'm gonna die. Having the armagedon theory driven into my head my whole life is going to take a while to fix.
Strangely though I don't believe in the resurrection or any life after death, maybe I'm just confused.
Think of all the things you hated when you where in the org, what drove you to leave, all the false prophecies they have made and their forever changing new light.. you should start to wonder how you ever believed it in the first place. -

Lafave told the boy that she was "turned on by the fact that having sexual relations with him was not allowed."
all we need now is everyone to be turned on by illegal things..
"why did you steal the car?"
"i was feeling horny.."
