In the d. conventions in my area I noticed that there was no shortage of "hot chicks" in the dubs. For a male, especially one with position and who is at least tolerable in other areas, the harvest is great.
Most of these end up leaving or hooking up with someone on the outside eventually, and the rest start using the pioneer word in every other sentence...thus losing all "hot" factor appeal. Way too many issues down that road.

When you were a JW, did anyone ask you a question that caused you to doubt?
by Victorian sky inno dotrinal question could shake me, but it was a personal one, out in service that started my initial doubts.
a man asked me: 'are you really happy?
' i couldn't say, 'no, i'm miserable' but i thought it was a powerful question, anyone else asked something that really shook them?

I was having a discussion with a guy I worked with, and giving him the spiel about "every design has a designer" so there must be a God. I was giving the same examples I always used i.e. the watch, the house, etc. and how since humans were much more complex we most definitely had to have a designer. He then just simply asked me "So who then created God?"
I did not turn me into an atheist, but it definitely caused me pause and made me realize that my argument was not as airtight and simple as I thought and was taught. I also wondered why that simple question had never occurred to me before. I never used that illustration again, and the question stuck with me for a long time.

I find this whole Gnostic area very interesting to say the least, and would explain a few things for me. This coupled with learning a little more about the Semitic system of mythology goes a long way in my own 'de-mystification of religion'.
btw...if anyone happened to catch the remake of the Ten Commandments (I only caught the second half), it seemed to portray the Yahweh god in a way closer aligned with the OT text...very demanding with a very short fuse. There was one scene after they defeated a rival tribe (Amalekites I believe) when they were told by Moses to kill everybody, men, women and kids. I you saw it, it spoke for itself.

WT May 15/06 How important we are
by blindersoff inpage 31. the "empty thing" they keep "muttering," or meditating on, is the continuation of their own sovereignty.
nothing shakes them more than any threat to their rulership.
.. the worldwide preaching of the established kingdom of god done by jehovah's witnesses has become just such a threat to the nations.

Really delusional or just lost as to what to write anymore! This is the biggest load of rehashed crap I've read in a while. This is not new. Same old play from the same ole playbook. I can't believe my fam still sit through this.
You have to have a swig of some really special kool-aid to write this sh#t and make it sound like you really believe it.

The main thing I remember about the Babylon book as a kid is thinking "its thicker than the other books so it must be important and hard to understand". After all, it had its own separate booklet with the questions for study.
Mixed in there was a series of books that covered the whole spectrum of the rainbow. Its a blur now.

If Jehovah does not demand human sacrifice.......?
by Gill inif jehovah does not demand human sacrifice, then why does he demand that jws die instead of taking blood transfusions?
isn't that human sacrifice?

Thanks! Actually, it really has much more to do with a policy that makes no sense to begin with than any supposed brilliance on my part.

JWs as spouses for "worldly" people
by greendawn indo you think a jw man or woman would make a better spouse for someone compared to a "wordly" person?
not that many jws would want to marry non jws but it would be interesting to discuss such an issue to see what comes up.
some may argue that a jw spouse is more likely to be loyal and gentle but there are also many pitfalls with jws.

In 1950 maybe. And loyal to who? Is this loyalty based on love for the individual or because the WT says its the right and proper thing to do? Let not even get into the manipulation of winning the "worldling" over without a word. Loyal and gentle are adjectives that could be applied to alot of animals. Personally, I'd take someone with a thought, their own opinion, and a feisty sense of humor anyday. Axel
