im not going to alter names on this as i think it deserves people knowing the individuals involved.. i was raised in a congregation in northern ireland.. today i heard that a great woman who i have known since she was a little girl has given birth to twin girls.
her name is louise fusco.. she has has serious internal bleeding and refused blood.
she now lies in the high dependancy unit of the royal victoria hospital in belfast, having had an emergency hysterectomy.
OMG that is so sad.

i just got an email from someone who played a really formative part of my life who's since left the lds church (my rose tinted spectacles) and it really hurts.
this is why i don't go to ex-lds sites.
its wierd - a lot of you as posters are at the other end of the tunnel - having left/escaped - but it sure as heck feels gut wrenching when your still 'in' and someone you care about leaves.
Yeah thats the thing with Qcmbr. Its like he's content to just live in his bubble of JW vs.LDS and not really entertain the facts that his religion is just as f**ked up as the witnesses doctrinally. No offence man but I think I can speak for a lot of people here in saying that we don't have much respect for anyone that isnt willing to challenge their belifes when they are faced with concrete logic and evidence against them..

what was your most embarrassing moment as a jw?.
i was in 7th grade.
my science teacher was a jw.
This is an embarrassing story for my my mom.
I was about 6 or 7 and I was sitting with my mom while she was giving a talk at the Kingdom Hall. I was supposed to be the good little Christian boy.. very well behaved. Anyways I was bored out of my mind during this whole talk. She was wearing one of those dresses with the belts that arent there for any particular reason. I thought it would be a good idea to undo it and tie it in a bunch of knots to the chair she was sitting in. I spent just about the entire length of her talk tying knots.. she didnt even notice but I could hear some people in the audience snickering. When she got up at the end of the talk she took the chair with her. The elder doing the school had to help her undo all the knots.. she said that she was absolutely embarrassed to death. I just remember all the laughter and feeling like I had just done something great. I realized how bad it actually was when my dad took me into the back school and gave me the worst spanking ever. lol

Scoob you can always check out www.watchtower.org for yet another viewpoint. Who cares if its obviously tripe anyways, right? Do you really believe in the material you are presenting?
No wonder so many people get frustrated with you man.

as a supplement to my series on simple evidences for evolution, i thought i would also write occasional articles addressing common misunderstandings regarding evolution.
in this one, we'll address that common stumbling block, "but how could something so complex have come about by chance?
the probability is just too small.".
Whats the latest big theories about where the universe itself came from?

wow!
"scholar" has finally come over to the dark side.. i've consistently shown that the watchtower society often misrepresents source references, and "scholar" now agrees.
he now states that "the society misleads readers by its improper use of souces" and "the society can only be accused of misrepresentation".
Welcome Scholar! Nice to meet you. Hope to hear your experiences soon.
