Hey so today is my one year DA anniversary from the evil clutches of the vile Watchtower society. Tonight I'm going out to celeberate.
Love you JWD folk, thanks for all your support over the months. And to the lurkers and newb's, there really is so much happiness in accepting life for what it is and choosing to base your decisions on facts.
Think for yourself.

i work with a guy who sleep with a lot of different woman, and when i say a lot, i mean a lot!
i know what some are thinking, "oh he probably sleeps with a few and makes it sound like more.
" well i would think that too, if i did not actually meet a lot of these woman and work with some of them and they admit to sleeping with him on a regular basis.
Nailing random's with no emotional connection whatsoever get's a little empty after a while but hey, sex is easily a more entertaining way to expel sperm than masterbation.

the elders frown upon chewing gum at the kingdom hall and we have had a locals needs part where it was mentioned.
is/was chewing gum at your hall a no-no?
I was thinking of DA'ing for about 6 months before I actually did, and I took huge quiet satisfaction in getting an elder to accept a piece of chewing gum in field service. Every one else took a piece first, then I asked him once, he pretended not to hear, so I asked again. He sighed heavily, looked at me with these huge sad droopy eyes, and said "Okay Sheldon, okay."

do jw youths understand that if they just didn't get baptized their parents would not be able to shun them later?
they must be able to see how this works in other families.
is it feasable for a jw teen to reject baptism?
Another point to consider is that the formost goal a JW kid has is to get married, and they can't get married or date without being black marked in the cong unless they are baptized.

i was watching the history channel this weekend and they had a show on the global flood story.
it was pretty interesting, mostly the same old stuff and some commentators from different religions.
while i was watching this, two thoughts kept coming to mind:.
Interesting points Marsh, but the global flood never happened. Never. Not a chance. No way. Someone with more patience, time, and mad copy and paste skillz will probably elaborate.

.
or is it a detriment to society?.
i'm sure this has been asked before, but since there are so many new people here i'll ask again.... j
Do you think that keeping a person ignorant enriches their individual life experience?
Any sort of organized faith is evil, IMO.

when i first came here a while back there was plenty of discussion around and about jw topics and general chit chat but of late i've felt quite a sharp increase in posts that are: .
1/ preaching aethism (as opposed to putting it forward in a respectful way as an alternate viewpoint.
2/ vitriolic attacks on those who dare have another view ('damn those stupid heretical believers') .
:Just how broad a brush would you like painting with?
