I wish I had known. I would have loved to have gone. I guess that's what I get for not coming around here, ever.

by NVR2L8 infor the last few weeks i have been pretty busy as we were moving to a new house.

Before moving we through a bunch into the dumpster as well. Months later I remembered that in the AID book I had stashed some old bills I had collected and put in it for safe keeping. Whoops.

I was out for about a year before I got on here. I left because of a local newspaper that did an article about people leaving. It suggested some books to read which I got from my local library. It wasn't until my wife left shortly after I started going online that they actually DF'd me though, or at least they tried to DF me.

If I was a JW youth listening to the talk, I'd block whoever I thought would have a problem with me having the account from seeing my profile and keep it online. I think most JW youth would do that.

Satan - such a bad guy?
by bulgogiboy ini am 95% sure that satan doesnt even exist (same for jehovah), but in theoretical terms at least, do you think satan was such a bad guy to question jehovah's totalitarian regime?
isnt there a little 'satan' in all of us ex-jws?
he employs critical thinking, questions the status quo, and goes against what has been deemed 'righteous'.

The world would be awfully crowded if it wasn't for Satan. Jehovah would have nobody to kill.

Is the Bible Really Scientifically Accurate?
by FreeAtLast1914 inthe society (and others) love to quote job 26:7 where it says that "[god] suspends the earth over nothing" and isaiah 40:22, where it speaks of "the circle of the earth".
they use these scriptures to boast about the incredible scientific accuracy of the bible, proving god had a direct hand in everything written in it.. the trouble is that elsewhere in the scriptures, opposing views are put forth explaining then-unexplainable physics and geographical notions.
one is job 26:11: "the pillars of heaven tremble.

Is the bible scientifically accurate? That's like asking if it's inspired by god. Your answer will depend on who you ask and what evidences you look at or choose not to look at.

Does anyone find it too painful to read the WTS publications?
by dissed inbeen out 13 years and even for research purposes, i find it way too painful to read this wt stuff.. and why?.
all the painful memories it brings back.
don't misread me, it has nothing to do with a guilty conscience.. it has to do with the real pain, the anger of being ripped off and lied too by the wts, the anger of seing how they have protected child molesters, sacrificed its followers by refusing blood transfusions, the treacherous way we and others were treated by the 'unloving brothers'.

We hit London in the spring, our first trip there. We got the "London Card" which included entry to a ton of different exhibits of historical and personal interest. It also helped us map out our day since there's so much in the city to see, we basically just stuck to what was included in the deal and it filled the 5 days we were there.
Oh, and bring lots of money. London is an expensive city.
