many jehovah's witnesses believe what they've been told about ex-witnesses.
they say that exjws simply want to live an immoral life.
they say that exjws cannot live up to "jehovah's standards".
ROM 2:14:For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves
how much better to live a good life because you want to rather than because a law tells you to.
the fact that they accuse exJWs of justifying a 'sinful' course just betrays their own deep seated inclinations to break the laws they are bound by. (i.e. they are jealous that they are trapped and we are not)

what is 'immoral'? JW's may reason that we try to pick holes in their doctrine to justify our course of 'wrongdoing', but who is convincing themselves of what here? i think that their reasoning (the reasoning that we looked for problems with the religion to appease our guilty conscience) does apply to many exJWs...at first. but who cares? when we come to realize that the things we at first may have viewed as 'sinful' are in fact not and are only described as such by the doctrines of a small sect, our perspective changes and their reasoning no longer applies. but what's the difference anyway, you know?
in the end, it's all relative. in their eyes, yes, we are living immoral lives (even if our only 'immorality' is not believing in their sacred doctrines), and thus, yes, we are justifying our course. this is true. but so what? in our eyes THEY are the ones living in delusion and THEY'RE the ones justifying THEIR course.
people can call me what they will or believe what they want about my choices and my life. the fact is though, that they don't know. no one does. only i do. people assume and judge each other all day, everyday. if we care what people think (JW or exJW or whatever...it doesn't matter), we may as well go back to bed, because it's gonna be a rough day.
shouldn't a religion bring people closer to god?
it would seem that many became atheist after being deceived by the wts.
unlike other religions, the wts was very precise in what was to happen during the 20th century.
heck no. i believe in God. Electric Ladyland was definitely His best album.
proof that animals are sentient, intelligent beings:

woodside, calif. - when koko the gorilla used the american sign language gesture for pain and pointed to her mouth, 12 specialists, including three dentists, sprang into action.
this reminds me of a headline from the Onion awhile back:
"Koko the Gorilla Now Just Flipping Everybody Off."
glorious creatures, they are.
i have a couple.
the elder that used to study with me came to my door one day.
he reminded me of all the wonderful times we had out in service (i really couldn't remember any).
Why didn't they go there before they left?
maybe they were saving something special for you...

Then while the sisters presumptuously went straight for my bathroom and kitchen,
hey...when you gotta pee, you gotta pee.
my witness friends and i bought doom 3 yesterday to play at my house.
i let one of my friends play first and it scared him so he quit.
next day at the meeting, i tell them how intense the game is, and they are all like "you should burn the game you should throw away the game.
we'd end up with splinters
splinters?! that's the work of demons!!!!!!!

if you believe in videogames bringing demons into your house, why stop there? how about movies, books, magazines, food packaging (count chocula? boo berry?), food itself (there are ghost marshmallows in those cereals, you know...), drinks (bloody mary?), pots, pans, doorknobs, doors, hinges, 2x4's...
why don't we go and live naked in the woods, with our eyes closed and hands pressed over our ears. that way there's no way we could inadvertantly see, touch, taste or hear anything that might bring the demons into our lives.
gimmee a break. if you believe that an item will bring some kind of evil force into your life, it will...your imagination will make sure of it.
want one as a symbol of my freedom.
was thinking of some chinese characters.
ok. your opinion.
My girlfriend has one on her food and her back and I think it's sexy as hell.
mmm...tattooed food...(gurgle)...
