the brother said that they had been destroyed at the flood along with the mammouth and the DODO
WHAT? Dodos are extinct? Rubbish - I had one in my lounge -painted it blue.
Iggy - did I miss yesterday's ''word of the day''?
the bible doesnt mention them at all.
so what the hell?

or do you think that all religions are?
since they are all hypocrites or have teachings that don't match the bible or any other religious book?

Ah - so I was right then........
..would you thank the bullies now?.
i must admit that the social pressure was a large factor in my exiting.
though it was hell at the time i'd rather that than life as as dub now.
Urbanized - welcome
Talesin - love your responses.
I was bullied throughout my first year at Grammar school - no one ever spoke a word to me otherwise. In my second year I was labelled a Midwich Cuckoo - and then even the bullies kept away from me, lol.
i've been away from this board for a really long time, since then i've made huge progress in my recovery from life in the jw world thanks to some professional help.
now i am at the point where i just don't want to be anywhere near anyone remotely associated with the organization.
my parents no longer speak to my husband and i, but when i do have to interact with my jw inlaws i feel incredibly sick.
I am quite unsure what has happened to me - in the WTBTS sense......
for the past 6 months i have been speaking to church and youth groups in the surrounding area.
the topic has been how to show love to the jw's when they come to your door.
in the past, many of the people i talk with have been rude to the jw's.
Theoretically, as JW are discouraged to look on the internet ( and thus be aware of their own history amongst other things) then the ''householder' has the clear advantage. ANYONE wanting to know / investigate / question more has a whole World of knowledge - yet the JW has only 1995 or the New Light (whichever is more recent)
todays edition of the times (13/07/05) carries the following on page 42;.
the vatican, which is thought to own more than 1,000 flats in rome, is home to one of the worlds largest libraries, with 75,000 manuscripts and 1.1 million books.
the library, established by pope nicholas v in 1448, contains the codex vaticanus, the oldest known manuscript of the bible.. .
If it's free to join and no one will find out for ten years, why not?
ladies,.
in preperation for a class i'll be taking starting next month entitled "history of love, sex and marriage" i would like to probe your heart's desire to find out the 5 biggest turn on's and 5 biggest turn off's you find in men.
and well, hell, i also would just like to add to my general knowledge.
Oh we got it wrong Logansrun? Are those the correct answers?

......are you the editor for ''Reader's Wives''?....
ok seriously....

can';t think of any ''offs'' as I have a specific person in mind.
i stopped into a local grocery store with my boyfriend and as we were squeezing the brocolli, i hear a big "hi" behind me.
for the life of me i couldn't remember her name.
it was a "sister" from my used-to-be congo.
....and we've been conditioned into EXPECTING to be shunned - lol. If you feel robbed of a shunning mapleleaf, I'm sure we can oblige.....
AS a JW I refused to shun - in fact I made a point of doing the opposite (wouldn't a d'fed person - a repentent one -feel bad enough anyway? Fair to rub their nose in it for 6 months / length of time elders decide? - Where does the time limit come from? Bible - based?) Sheeesh.
or do you think that all religions are?
since they are all hypocrites or have teachings that don't match the bible or any other religious book?
Am unsure of the question. Does any other religion promote the idea of ''Babylon the Great''? By the WTBTS OWN teachings, yes they are.
