  It's been quite a while...

  it's been a long time since i have posted here, or logged on- mostly lurking around once in a while, but not as of late... just wanted to drop in and say hi.

  most of my activity has been on facebook, so i probably know a lot of you guys on here already- i'm taylor milligan.

  lots of things have happened since my disassociation a while back including arguments, threats of being kicked out, encountering shunning firsthand, and to top it all off, i turned 18 a bit ago, and am now on my own- lots of drama between all of this :).. .

  Thanks for stopping by to say hello. Glad you're doing well.

  encountering shunning firsthand

  It's very odd experiece to be ignored by people you had thought to be your friends. I don't know about you but it makes see what a small minded pathetic religion it really is.

  How big is apostasy?

  by Knowsnothing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the short time i've lurked and been on here, i've seen a couple of new people join, and tell their experiences.

  my question is, how big is apostasy in numbers?

  could we take a rough guess?

  There is probably a little bit of apostate in most of the dubs sitting in the KH. The problem is even though they claim to all be brothers and sisters serving a loving god that really isn't the case. It is an illusion. They all live in fear of expressing any thoughts that could be taken as a sign of unbelief. If they express any doubt they know their dear brothers will throw them out and they believe their loving god will kill them. Just look at the amount of Witnesses that show up here who don't believe it yet go to the KH pretending to be believers.

  What a way to live.

  PBS Program- Secrets of the Bible- Old Testament

  nova produced a program on the history of the bible with many archaeologists concerning what excavations in israwl and the middle east have revealed concerning the bible.

  i've read most of the revelations before in the new york times and other places.

  the watchtower bible and tract society could not hold a candle to the experts interviewed.

  After all these years, it is still profound to me that I can use my intelligence, knowledge and insight and still believe.

  I don't have to throw out the baby with the dirty water

  I understand what you are saying Band on the Run and take a similar position. I'll look for the program. It sounds interesting.

  last friday, a woman i work with, who reminds me of scully from the x-files, asked me to hang out with her and her friends at a watering hole not that far from where we work.

  she and her friends get off roughly an hour before i get off, and considering the amount of work i had on my desk at the time, and the amount of time i wasted on here, i knew it'd would be a while before i caught up with them.

  so i told her i'll try, but i won't get off until roughly 6:30pm or later.

  Stop being such a JW dork and go out and have a good time. You're not being tempted by satan. You are just being ask out to have a little fun. It is obvious these people like you or they wouldn't ask you to go out with them. You have nothing to lose but your bogus pass into the JW Fantasy Kingdom..... oh, and read Steve Hassan books as leavingwt suggested. I've been out for decades and keep hearing read his books, reads his books. I finally am getting around reading one of the and think it would be very helpful for someone in your situation.

  I hope you figure it out soon. Good luck!

  Unshackled

  Remember the goal he scored circling behind the net and bounced the puck off the defensemen into the net? I'm certain that was fully intentional

  I'm sure it was also. I remember him do crazy stuff like passing the the puck through an opponents legs and picking it up on the other side.

  I think you are right about Marty's stick. That was the turning point. What surprised me with that was that he was even was allowed to have that stick out there. The Kings should have been aware of what could happen. A team knowing that a player on the opposing team is using an illegal stick and not bringing it up till you need the call isn't a new issue. If they had read Dave "The Hammer" Schultz's autobiograph they would have been aware of this. I read his book several years before the 93 playoffs and in it he mention his coach in Philly doing doing the exact same thing Pat Burn's(RIP) did.

  Not too long after I left the Watchtower I attended an Episcopal Church that made their own whole wheat bread for the Eucharist. It was called Pompaii Bread. Appearantly the recipe went back to Popai It was very good. I still have the recipe somewhere.

  A Gift of Literature to JWs Everywhere

  have you ever wanted to give something to a jw that shows how much you care about them, as an individual (possibly even as friend/family member)?

  have you ever wanted to free the mind of a jw?

  if you have asked yourself these types of questions, how do you feel jws would respond to receiving and reading the following flyer?

  A Jdub who is completely under Watchtower mind control is able to label and dismiss any negative information about the Watchower immediately however if someone is starting to have doubts information like this could be helpful. If they find something like this they are more likely to read it than if someone gives it to them or sees them pick it up.

  Don't take the lack of interest in your offer personal Snowbird. I don't think any of us live close enough to just drop by.

  Does anyone remember in the 1993 when the Kings were playing Toronto and were down by 3 games and a columnist in Toronto said Getzky was skating like he had a piano tied to his back? Gretzky answered back by playing up to his potential and the Kings won the series.

  The next round had the famous Patrick Roy wink. The Kings were coming on strong. At one point Roy made a huge save, he made eye contact with his opponent and winked at him. I remember thinking at the time this may be the turning point of the series. Roy was just so confident.
