Can you refute these?
by Mary Phooty in1. are jesus and michael the archangel really the same person?.
one of the most peculiar of the wtss teachings is their assertion that jesus is actually michael the archangel.
" in acts 10:19-20, this "impersonal force" considers himself to be a person.

Apostasy - A Racist Movement?
by slimboyfat infirpo carr argues that while many white apostates claim to highlight so-called 'racist' remarks and terminology in the watchtower literature, most such apostates are in fact white and have little real interest in black issues.
they are only interested in the issue in so far as they can use it to promote white anti-witness propaganda, whereas a high percentage of loyal witnesses are black.
i know that all the terms of my topic are debatable: apostacy is a witness term of derogation; apostates probably are mostly liberal and not racist (essentially); and they are not a 'movement' in any case.

Is it really? She maybe had a very happy life,and pioneering maybe she though it was very fullfilling her dreams. That they were based on a lie, so what. Is that not with 90% of the people? And most of the other 10% are also using ther life useless.
Hi Danny! I agree that many people are not making the most of the time they have here for whatever reasons. From my personal experience with the witnesses, I wish everyone would wake up before it's too late and do some of the things they dream of doing in the 'new order' right now. Even at the age of 82, it's not too late.

In addition to all the benefits already mentioned (including on-line dating) the greatest transformation came from learning that JW's are not the true religion, but a high control cult. The freedom that came from that realization is truly, truly priceless!!!!!!!!!!

There was another thread where a sister delcared something similar if not the same time frame. It's so sad that people are wasting their lives waiting for something better, when the REAL LIFE is to be lived right now.
I often say to people who are postponing their dreams that "As far as we know for sure, this life is all we have so why not make the best of the time we have and try and do as many things as want to".
Imaginge what she could have done with the 50+ years she's served the borg. So sad really .

e-foot in mouth, does anyone else have this problem??
by Frog inhey guys don't know about you but i got through these periods where i seriously put my foot in it via email, forums, txt messages etc.
in real life i'm quite diplomatic and have a knack for saying the right thing.
the sort of thing i'm talking about is replying to all in an email, rather than just replying to sender, and disseminating a whole bunch of information to people you never intended it for.

Hey froggie! I have the same issue with paying attention to details. When it comes to e-mail I've learned to keep it short, sweet, professional and to the point - it's better to leave something out than to give out too-much-info.
On the discussion board it's more difficult because my tendency to share doesn't turn on and off so people may know a lot more about me than I want them to. But, what they hey! Maybe someone will be helped by my sharing.
Netty - I feel you on not reading your past posts. There's one particularly nasty post of mine I never returned to . Taught me to censure myself just a little more

I'm so happy you found us. I too stumbled upon the Ex-JW's in a search for something Witless related .
Been hanging out with ex-dubbies ever since. Isn't the WWW a wonderful thing?!?
One thouht; now that you're out take time to get to know yourself and discover your TRUE personality - minus all the borg baggage and Bs.

elsewhere ... I don't understand how they can shirk their responisiblity for their members actions when: 1) They have the names and addresses of all members on FILE 2) They require the members to go door-knocking 3) They require members to report themselves to the local elders if they violate the WTBTS rules. Seems like their totally responsible to me. Oh, and let's not forget that the elders will show up at the hospital IMMEDIATELY if one of the members are critically injured in order to ensure no blood transfusions are administered. Sheisty sonsofbitches.
