  tetrapod.sapien,

  Yep, I'm totaly with you on that. Even though I had left many years ago, it was only recently that I started to face up to the scares it left behind. This board has been my path to becoming me. To discover so many other people with the same history and questions has given me the strength to start the recovery, and I have made friends on the way.

  Not bad IMHO.

  You know the posters that give me more strength than I would have thought possible are the hardline JDub defenders. I love to read the posts with Alanf, Narssosis, and Leolela, ripping apart the profoundly dumb arguments of WTBTS 'scholars', reading the JDubs twist and turn in a way I used to do. I can remember my internal confilicts while I was trying to defend made up dogma.

  ....anyway, I'm rambling, Yep it's a great board, and I'm always checking the posts, even though I'm not a prolific poster.

  Cool little article from Richard Dawkins

  by Gollum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  i know, i know, the evolution vs creation thing has been flogged to death lately, but i thought this was a great article, with the standard level of dawkins sarcasm, which used to irritate the hell out of me when i was a dub, and now i just love it.. on a side note, i've given up and resorted to ie when going to this site.

  i miss my beloved firefox already, sniff, sniff.. .

  Dawkins is always entertaining to read.

  It reminds me of a conversation I had with my dad a few years back.(not sure if I've mentioned this before)

  We were studied together for the watchtower study and one section was on the proof of God.

  I asked him, 'How can you prove God exists?'

  His reply, with an uncomplimentry frown developing across his forehead, was, 'well you can the proof in all the evidence around you. In the trees, flowers, birds, the universe and all that shit.'

  My reply, 'well dad, thats not proof thats a matter of faith.'

  My dad reply, a slap and sent to my room.

  Go figure.

  I'n no lawyer by any means but I was under the impression that if the court can demonstarte that the minor know and understands the difference between right and wrong than there is a possibility that he can by chaged as an adult.

  Is this true? Any takers?

  This is a tough one Buck. My guess is that if you start asking them tricky questions like Russel, Rutherford, UN association, New Light"™, 607...... then they will see you as a probable apostate type associate and MAY start to discourage your loved one from being with you.
  

  The JDub organization is an asocial type cult. If you plan to be with your loved one for a long time, then severing ties with them, COULD mean severing tie with her(I'm guessing your a guy from you name).

  I think I would tell them this is a step into a life changing moment, to serve Jehovah, and ask for a little more time of prayer with Jehovah, to make sure He feels your ready. This should give you a little more time. Then, talk to your girl and find out from her if she will always be a JDub.

  If she will never leave, then its up to you to decide what this life will mean for you.

  Joining this cult will mean your devotion to them is above all other things, including your loved ones.

  ps welcome to the board.

  ATTENTION District Convention Attendees!

  by RichieRich in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at some convention sites, there will be protests by apostates.

  at other conventions, apostates will covertly slip in and leave messages on cars.

  however, not everyone has the fortitude to protest nor the time.
