This is why I started my "How often do you find you are the last poster on a thread" thread.
It became the longest in this site's history! Until the Moderators pulled its plug - mean nazis!
In your case "pearls before swine does NOT apply!"

I have kept a very low profile for years in Witchtower Lala Land. Most of the younger dubbies dont recognise me.
I no longer attend, which means if I see them on the way to a meeting they think I am a worldling.
On meeting nights they always get on the bus or subway looking miserable. Avoid eye contact with other passengers.
In 1999, I was on holiday in France, and it was memorial night. I wasnt going I wanted to dine with my friends. A convoy of cars passed. Miserable faces peered out from the black clothed people inside. I just knew from the sour faces they were going to the reject Jesus fest.
Witlesses only really smile when they are overcome by delusional euphoria at the Kingdumb Hell.

have you ever personally experienced a bizarre or disturbing event you cannot explain?.
supernatural if you like.
my theory is that science has not explained everything.
Have you ever PERSONALLY experienced a bizarre or disturbing event you cannot explain?
Supernatural if you like. My theory is that science has not explained everything. There are things that happen we dont understand - in the past religions invented "explanations" which I think no longer explain anything.
My father got involved in Satanism latterly - he said he saw things that made him warn me off - but these are not PERSONAL. The ones I had would identify me... Sooo
Any takers?
i had just became a witness and a guy i worked with, who was also a jw, told me a story that actually made me laugh and i think it upset him a bit.
the storys were almost always in the third person.
it went as follows.. this brothers wife and him were sitting at the kingdom hall on the end seats of the row next to the back of the room.
I remember I was alone in the house. I was eighteen at the time.
I could hear the hiss of Demon breathing under my bed. Everytime I moved they breathed harder - so I just froze, praying and praying and praying for protection - and eventually went to sleep.
Next morning trembling, I looked under the bed.
My mother had put a box under the bed with things in a large polythene bag. It was the air hissing every time I moved....
Though I have had one or two wierd experiences that I find hard to explain.

what would happen if we did not have religion to give some at least inference to (at the very least) our subconscious, that there is some type of afterlife?
what would we tell kids when they ask us what happens when we die?
what would we tell kids after these shooting massacres?
Blondie - I love that comment.
Agree a code beforehand.
I no longer fear death, it is not presided over by Satan or jehovah. for eternal torment to exist you need to prove the existence of extracorporeal sadistic deities...

do they go out in door to bore misery.
lets face it - the witless mating guide is just a checklist of behaviors that makes a potential mate.. how do you let go from this??.
sorry - have met so and am already going through this compatibility crap.
You know how it is:

How do you let go from this??
Sorry - have met SO and am already going through this compatibility crap. How often have I said "take it as it comes" to other posters.
We have been out once and I am already fretting the bloody checklist. legacy of a JW past I suppose...
Why are witless relationships sooo effed up despite ourselves.

can someone point me to a searchable pdf version of this?.
This book, made the PREDICTION that he Great Tribulation "upon Christendom" would start before the end of the 20th century (about p.235 A left hand page in the book)
Deuteronomy 18 anybody??

walking down memory lane today and recalled a convo with my ex about noah's ark.
(i made all the rookie mistakes when talking to my ex about jw stuff -sigh.
) i think i said something like 'if you believe in noah's ark take the cat and a mouse from the backyard for a drive around the block and let me know how it goes.
This thread needs an "Oh Dear"
OH, DEAR

watchtower cult shuts down websites to coverup pedophilia letters.. http://www.cyberwarzone.com/watchtower-cult-shuts-down-websites-coverup-pedophilia-letters.
.
bangalore.
Change Name: If you don't believe there are letters out there they want hidden, try Googling the now infamous "Murder Letter"
A JW on the run who had committed murder was in a Florida congregation. The letter is more concerned with him having been seen smoking, rather than being a killer. The Elders are told not to report him to the authorities as this could have life changing consequences for his family.
Find it yourself.
Also the congo where the Society was determined to DF a couple, but each charge they suggested the elders use was unproved. The WT just kept trying to find something they could DF them for. This used to be on a website "Disfellowshipped.com".
Find it yourself.
Of course if you are a true blue JW, you will not. Most witnesses want other people to do their research, then close their eyes when the evidence is put in front of them.

up for grabs: watchtower may 1, 2013. .
what does it mean that jehovah draws us?
the greek verb rendered draws is also used in reference to hauling in a net of fishes.
What on earth does the Gibbering Buddy (aka FDS) mean"JEHOVAH draws us".
The noolite on Holy Spirit says that this does not come to us from God, but is doled out to us through the FDS. Surely the FDS draws us to the "truth", not their sidekick God Almighty.
