in my previous post i mentioned that i'm staying in the org because i think i got a sign from god...some of you asked a lot of questions about my sign and even shared the society's view on asking for signs which i didn't know.. i didn't disclose exactly what the sign was.. some of you asked me what it was and even stated that i know that you all would pick apart and prove that my sign was just a frivolous excuse to hold on to the org.. maybe you were right.. so i've decided to tell you all exactly what it was---no embellishments or exaggerations.
i would love to hear your opinions since i'm still in a terrible mess.sometimes i'm 100% this is not the truth then other times i'm 60%....i feel if god was giving me a sign i'd be 100% this is the truth you know?.
so i woke up that morning and organized to go meeting.
Coincidence. You're counting one hit. How many questions have had misses i.e. no "answer"?
Would you base your life's direction on one affirmative instance of good timing, ignoring everything else?
People have doubts all the time. Church instills faith, hope and allays doubt. You chose to go to church. The conclusion is self evident, ;)
thinking about the number of atheist v ag/tec/fhn/sab threads (hehe - i'm only yanking your chains!
) and i thought i should make an effort to look at and discuss the rest of the rainbow.
atheism does not define my influencing primary worldview though you'd be hard pressed to see that from my posts.. i'd be interested in what philosphy , idea, rule(s) most influence you and why - why do you feel they are superior, what do they make you value more or less , what would you be without your philosophy.
Middle way from buddhism in the daily life. Nihilism in deep thoughts.
I like the cut of yer jib, lol
okay, so far no one has posted anything about photography on this forum.
so what do you guys and gals think about digital vs 35mm?.
i use to do a little shutter bugging myself.
Optics are expensive. I deal with lensing for projectors/video cameras and the costs can be huge, especially for specialty glass. However you're dealing with a precision instrument with fine tolerances, so yea...
Not a shooter of stills but I do enjoy good composition in a shot. There's definitely an art to it.
apostates are desperately looking for a meme-.
from sparlock to candace conti, nobody knows what your next meme would be, you guys should really seek professional help, cos it doesnt make any sense.. .
.
What would make sense to you, Mr Facts?
i'm just wondering what the whole apostate propaganda is all about?.
do you think you can do some sort of justice to the wt for the pains they have caused you?, what actualy are your motives?.
i dont get it.
new one,
Thank you for posting that; very good to hear. Good on ya for researching what you were getting into.
Aren't online JW apologists through their actions technically considered apostates in the WTS' eyes?
Couldn't say, but there's always the chance of reason and facts overcoming belief. Every x goes thru an apologetic phase.

I don't consider myself an apostate or identify as one (though technically the dictionary definition applies)
The only people who would consider me such are the JWs and I stopped caring what they thought a long time ago.
sorry folks, i know the "candace conti case" is where all our time attention should be for now.
i just had this much less important issue on my heart and wanted to make a quick note of it, as i am struggling with remembering all the details as clearly afterward.. although i am a non-religious believer and simple follower of jesus, i have had some constructive interaction with atheists and agnostics on jwn.
i do enjoy learning more about their perspective.
lol, Berengaria
Straight up and to the point. I love it.
so we all know about the pedo case in ca, but it takes four days to make it onto page 16 of the nytimes.. front page breaking news on the nytimes?
roger clemens.. to be honest, the man looks great.. but in the end, child molestation in a nineteenth century apocalyptic cult in the twenty-first century doesn't even reach friggin roger clemens level in the media.. jehovah's celestial chariot has been grounded at a rest stop on the new jersey turnpike.
the cherubim need to take a leak and are eating sbarro pizza.
Jehovah's Celestial Chariot has been grounded at a rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike. The Cherubim need to take a leak and are eating Sbarro pizza. Jehovah was seen drinking a tall Starbucks Invincible blend coffee.

MrFacts = JW troll? Good to know.. – MeanMrMustard
Troll yes...Mr Facts = Mankelli. Check out how many old Mankkeli threads Facts has either bumped or resurrected.
Yep. Mr Facts does have an interesting post history, with true believer/jw apologist tendancies as this thread attests to.
how the voice of strangers is heard today.
10 deceptive reasonings.
the apostle paul states: do not be carried away with various and strange teachings.
The WT encourages you to make decisions based on your view of the world and bible-trained outlook if you have any, the WT has never forced anyone to believe everything they present.
There are many whose experience with the WT would say otherwise.
