I had an old dub friend of mine tell me that he wanted to open up a violin shop in the New System. The guy doesn't even listen to classical music. Guess there's not much else you're allowed to do.. its either that or the sandal hut.

perhaps i'm wrong, but this is a possible explanation.i was always taught that a new system would soon replace the old one.
in this new system there would be no more war, everyone would eat from his own 'fig tree', they would build houses and love one another.. .
in every publication that depicted this new system.....it was a picture of a beautiful lush productive earth, people were carrying baskets of vegetables and fruit walking together being of different decent, the men were bulding houses with smiles on their faces, and the children were playing with the animals.

our resident pretend-jw-scholar who calls himself "scholar" enjoys justifying lying and misrepresentation by the watchtower society and himself.
the society, out of one side of its collective mouth, recommends not misrepresenting source references, yet out of the other side, goes ahead and does so without hesitation whenever it is convenient.
the society understands that unfair quoting is dishonest.
: It is foolish to think that a person in a Third World country is going to take a long trip to the city library and seek a old or the latest published book.
I can't even believe that scholar admitted something like this. Even scholar.

the moment arrived.
i have sent out my first three letters: one to the local congregation, one to the governing body (right, right, like i'll get a reply?
), and one to my family.
That was an awesome letter Spook! Disassociating DOES make a difference.

do you think its ok to have really close friends of the opposite sex if you are married or involved with someone?
any one in that situation where your partner is jealous?
or not jealous at all?
I don't get jealous at all either. If the girl wants to be with you she will, if not she won't, simple as that.

what if "god" was really a humanoid being, and the universe was some kind of big research project.
if man can create man these days, who is to say later on he will not conquer all of life and the celestial bodies amongst us?
what if someday man were to create a universe within this universe?
:And from a single seed of semen
That reminds me - did you ever end up asking that chick out for Ice Cream?

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.
WOW.
Anyways just a quick question Qcmbr - what type religions do ex-LDS turn to when they leave the church? For example with dubs its sometimes like a born again type religious system for a while. Any trends or do they usually just drop religion altogether?
