Hang around here and don't leave because some ask you to. I need more kindred spirits that share my views. And you're right about finding out juicy stuff.
you know what's also super cool. now that i know all this juicy stuff, when i do return to the truth i will be feeling alright for being a flunky jw. the talks wont make me feel guilty for being a flunky.
And who do I have to thank for that. All my apostate friends here who made it possible for me to return to the truth. Thanx buddies, you sure helped me out.

Smelly Onions-you are a one way,tunnel vision fool.I think your like the watchtower because you take only what you want to hear from certain people{like kissing JT ass}because he's "intelligent and witty".
Are you jealous stopthe pain of JT? The guy knows alot. The assemblies are also nice. Everyone together even if nothing is coming but everyone there and no wories like going to some club full of drugs, sexual deviants, criminals, thugs, gangstas, violent people. If there is something nice to say about jw's is those assmeblies where everyone is together and calm and peaceful. You don't have to worry about the guy next to you fighting you over a girl or making wise crack remarks. No one here can deny ABSOLUTELY that they didn't take some good things while a jw. If you do you are being more extremist than the org could ever be or more extremist than the taliban.
You want to talk about religious extremism, look at those suicide bombers, the taliban, bin laden - thats extremism. The wt is a baby in diapers next to these guys. So gimme a break with the hogwash. How about being whipped with a cane for not falling in line. That sure is brainwashing. Or not reading the koran for 8 hours a day.
I'll agree that there is pressure put on ethe publishers, to some extent even a mild form of brainwashing but if you compare the org to the taliban, now I know you have some marbles lose upstairs. Don't let your hate blind your judgement.

You are so right!!!!!!!!!Most of my relatives are JWs and are among the nicest people I know. Like you, I really appreciate the morals and self-discipline learned while growing up a JW.
Hang around here and don't leave because some ask you to. I need more kindred spirits that share my views. And you're right about finding out juicy stuff. I already know the name of the publication coming out in the assembly and I haven't even attended yet! How cool is that?!
There are many of us here that know the WBTS is only a religious/man-made/business-like organization and just like any other organization will have its good and bad. Some will accentuate the possitive and some the negative.
That's the way life goes!!!
tell me more about urself, well at least i am not alone here. tahnx for the encouragement.

It really is a pity that you have never felt the absolute magical quality of Christmas! Seeing chldrens eyes light up on Christmas morning, seeing the tree with all the beautiful colored lights on it, visiting friends , relatives and neighbors with a plate of cookies and the peace in your heart when these things take place!
if xmas aint a scam then neither is the wt. companies make most of their money on xmas. They really push it during that time. btw, i am inactive plus i am happy i don't celebrate it. I know alot of people who feel really stressed out because the stretch on their finances and the kids complaining about what they dont have and what their friends have.
you sound like those people on the wt videos, how everything is so wonderful hahahahaha

Such dazzling wisdom has never been seen on JWD until Smelly showed up. How timely. Just when all us clueless JWDers needed it the most, too.
yes thanx flying high, its good there are those here who recognize intelligence when they see it. hehehe
i called my wife over to the pc for all i could do was smile for i see you have the same questions that I ASKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes JT intelligent people do think alike. hehehehehe, seriously though your info was most enlightening. its good to see you are an upbeat person and you are making a life for yourself. i understand there are those here who's pain is irreparable and moving on may never happen. that is truly very sad. others who's pain is reparable but will always see the glass half empty and those who are just angry people no matter how good things are in life.
firpo 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.
Smelly your simplistic and nim witted comments on this thread are as bad as a Dr. Suess book. Never tease a weasel, no never once or twice, no never tease a weasel, no it's not very nice.
Your own limited life experience, world travel, and higher education show themselves quite clearly in your posts Smelly. You can take the boy out of the Kingdumb Hall but you cannot take the Kingdumb Hall out of the boy.
Evil force, continue using ad hominems while I deal in facts. Attack the argument not the genius who stated the argument. If your defense has to resort to the person you don't have much of a defense.
btw, dr seuss is full of knowledge.
