  Satanists?

  are there any practicing satanists on the board?

  i've been doing some reading about satanism and i'd like some personal experiences...it seems like it is less about god/satan and more about the self above all...am i right?

  how satisfying is this way of living?

  Why would it be more about the self if it's called Satanism? Let sleeping dogs lie.

  i wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience.

  i am one of the fortunate ones whose father was an elder ...note was....but defied all odds and sent me to university.

  by the way i must just point out that i am in africa and i am an african.

  I found some books! What did you do with yours?

  by SacrificialLoon in

  i knew i had some so i was looking in some boxes and found a few including the super deluxe nwt bible with the cross references.

  on one hand i'm tempted to throw em all out, but on the other i feel like keeping them, maybe as some kind of demented memento.

  on the other other hand it'd mean one fewer box cluttering up a closet.. what did you all do with your old err.. literature?

  Just an opinion- isn't it possible that someone could become a JW because of the books that
  I could sell on ebay or to a religious book dealer?

  Highly unlikely. By the time it gets to a book dealer or on ebay it's already "old light".

  That feeling that it could al be false how did you experience it?

  by GBSJG in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i started researching i was still convinced that jws had the truth.

  so i read some critical articles by ex-jws about certain teaching and i started to do some more research.. at this time i have successfully faded and no longer believe anymore.

  but i can remember the moment when i first allowed the thought in my mind that it could all be false and not the truth.

  Same as you, GBSJG. When I found out about the UN/NGO affair, I began researching, visiting various discussion websites, and meeting up with others who felt the same. I had thought, at first, that the WBTS had apostatized. Ten months later I experienced an unusual feeling, like yours I'm guessing, where it all went *poof* and it was then I realized it was never, is not, and will never be "the truth". An exhilarating feeling of freedom swept over me, realizing that I was free from a cult.

  That's What I'M Talkin' About!

  call me a curmudgeon.

  there are just some expressions in today's vernacular that are just idiotic, and "that's what i'm talkin' about" is one of these.

  it is so ghetto.. several people are saying 'blah, blah, blah, de blah and more de blah..." suddenly, a dimwit in the group hears something that dimwit didn't even mention but happens to like the subject and then dimwit blurts out, "now that is what i'm talkin' about!".

  thanks so much for the really warm welcome.

  just a small confession .. my last post was actually written a couple months ago before i'd gotten the nerve to post.

  i copied and pasted it ... and forgot to update it.. my wedding came off in december 2006, and my mom did attend.

  worshipping at the altar of the CO .....

  That's one of the problems with the "true" religion....idol worship.

  While we are on the subject I would appreciate someone suggesting ways that I may murder people who say 'Duhhhhh', and 'Hellooooo' as a means of accenting the fact that someone has behaved stupidly, and stay out of prison.

  Don't get your hands dirty...just give Whitey Bulger a call.
