  Congregation member lists: do they still use them? Current Dubz only!

  by MinisterAmos in

  for some reason (read they are afraid that exiting jws will use them to "stumble" other bros.) my new congo will not issue the normal member list with names, addies, numbers and congo appointments; the same list that everyone uses to call their jw buddies over for a booze party.. i was switched to this new congo two or so years ago and since have heard of two other congos that have stopped distributing lists.

  since i have only inquired of two congoes, i ass-ume that the distribution of "friends" personal info is now forbidden?.

  please comment all you current members/faders.

  I suppose I don't have a legitimate comment on your request. However, out of curiousity, why would you specify, and adamantly, that only "current dubz" respond?

  remember the proposals from the platform?

  usually it was about footing the c.o.

  's bill for expenses on his visit, or for paying for floral arrangements for the memorial.

  I never heard a "nay".

  Pretty silly to pretend to be democratic when the culture is programmed to never voice difference of opinion.

  ROFL!! My first thought was that you'd be posting some pics of the webs the spiders made during the real experiment they did. Much better!

  Why do you post?

  by avidbiblereader in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am not talking about questions or inquirying about what to do with a problem.. when you post what are some of the reasons you give your thoughts on matters?.

  for me, i enjoy talking to others who can understand my experience but more importantly for me, i know there are lurkers or people right on the fringes who are sick of all of it.

  i try to give a biblical explanation on matters that shows the error of going beyond the things written.

I dont feel nor do I believe I am totally right on any matter but the Bible is so clear when you leave behind the WT philosophy?

  I'm glad people like you are here because I often suspect can't do much for your target audience. In fact, I may even hurt the cause inadvertently by seeming to be so far removed.

  What I really appreciate in you, however, is your ability to accept your fallibility, really, the fallibility of our ideas. I respect that.

  When I post in response to serious threads, I often simply like to see people pushing the boundaries of their paradigms, regardless what it may be, always questioning.

  If there is one thing I've learned, it's that nothing is ever, ultimately, certain.

  Sorry you lost me with all that Will wordage. Not into a cyber argument though, just trying to understand your point. Sorry I am a little slow behind the wheel sometimes.

  My point was that your belief or disbelief in a thing tends to predicate whether you find evidence to support a thing or not. Your Will with intention, conscious or otherwise, determines it.

  You believe in a god external to yourself without realizing that you peer into a mirror.

  Not trying to argue either, though I know my tone tends to be rather easily interpreted that way.

  avidbiblereader; thou hast not the armaments to cause me offense. You believe as you Will, even as you deny that very Will in preference to an other Will, not recognizing it as yet your own.

  I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die and find out there isn't one

  Than live my life as if there isn' t one and die and find out there is.

  LOL!

  "I'd rather live my life a slave to rules created by man by the authority of a non-existent invisible being and die and find out I wasted my life

  Than live as if there isn't one and die and face this assumedly loving, forgiving Being who should certainly understand my scepticism."

  witnesses.

  he believes that many individuals leave the truth because it is hard; and they look for any miscue to escape the organization and their responsibility to god.

  Hmm, perhaps some might. But he's just presenting his opinion and it's doubtful he has done some sort of poll or study to back this up.

  As opinions go, however, his is a weak one and is due to a great deal of misunderstanding. Staying in "The Truth" turns out for most to be much easier than leaving. Dealing with the uncertainty of the world outside, being shunned by friends and family members... thinking one is destined to die a horrible death at armageddon and never seeing loved ones again, or dealing with the fact that it was all a bunch of BS...

  A previous manager of mine, when giving a network security class for our clients. It was quite an eye-opener to them.

  Yes, do not keep your bluetooth connection on when you're not using it.
