having spent time on this discussion board.
there has been quite a number of negative .
amount of damage in various ways, but are .
My father did not participate very much in raising me.
I saw that a lot- fathers would just give up and turn over the raising of the kids to the JW mother to buy some peace at home. Holidays, birthdays, Saturday morning fun- all given up to please the JW wife and her Elder overseers at the KH-
Glad you made it out jaguarbass- you have most of your life ahead of you- enjoy the freedom.
has anyone read this section about witnesses?
the tower is tricky isn't it?unfulfilled predictions.
individual jehovahs witnesses have made predictions over the years regarding specific dates and events that have not come to pass.
I try to do my part on Wikipedia- My addition only lasted 24hrs- better look quick- those JW's have no sense of humor.

I think the French woman is playing a joke on the brothers- her hat is giving out a subliminal phallic message- can anyone decode what she is trying to tell us? UncleBruce, can you decipher her message?
official survivor: cook islands cast announcement
wednesday, august 23 - on the early show (cbs).
a survivor twist!
I have never, ever watched the the totally contrived Survivor series- but this format might just get me to program a season pass for this show on my Tivo.
several times i saw john edward asked about people who died who did not believe in an after life.
his answer:"have you ever been to a surprise party?........".
i know some here believe in an after life, some don't.
Common sense tells me that my hunter-gatherer ancestors in Europe have just as good a chance of entering the spirit world as I do, if it exists at all. Go back further- what about Neanderthals?- hmm not so sure about that. Maybe, this is as good as it gets. The belief in an afterlife really took off with the Greeks.
here is a question i would like answered intelligently if possible.
i asked my wife and another brother during an informal gathering of friends and was given the typical "wait till the new system, jehovah will answer all questions" response.
for the last year or so i began to seriously doubt the existence of a "loving, caring god".
Begining with the position that God put humans here on earth in a paradise, in perfect health...when then did the need for an immune system arise?
You are starting down a slippery slope- If God did not create a perfect man, then he couldn't have fallen from his sin and was never in or got kicked out of the perfect Garden of Eden. If man was always imperfect, then God doesn't have any need to send a Saviour to pay the price for his sin does he? Only the brave can pursue this subject to it's logical conclusion.
the quotes should make you refrain from any doubts whatsoever| all from wellknown theologians and scientists: .
"antichrist, which is the great whore in babylon, has destroyed the holy church.
6,000 years have elapsed since creation, and the world should last no longer than that.
Most cults capitalize on the "end is near" and make false predictions.
It's convenient for Christians that the promised return of Jesus is "open ended". Why do people get upset when JW's try and do the same thing with their predictions of an "Impending Armageddon"?

our congregation had some of the best circuit overseers money could buy!.

I hope they are being taken care of in their old age- diapers can get expensive, you know.

before you judge the question negatively, it is very .
important for individuals to understand that there is .
I would rather go on the American Survivor show and eat live lizards, sleep with snakes and swim in swamp with hungry alligators than to go back to the KH as a JW for one minute.
sure we got to know a lot of people, we knew a lot more people then the average person, but how many real friends did we ever have?
a friend that we could trust, that we could confine in.
i can say i had just one, bro x and even then i still had to be careful, bro x is an elder now and he tells me that im the only real friend hes ever had, he cant freely talk to anyone.
Never had any JW bro that I was close to- a handshake was as close as I got to any of them. I guess that made it easier to leave the KH.
