i have read your posts and am suprised, shocked and disgusted at the fact you still are an active witness who goes to the meetings 70% of the time and at the same time go to apostefests and curse and talk bad about the truth.
dont you know that the bible said people like you would quietly slip in the congregation and subvert the faith of some?
are you not afraid of god and jesus?
He CLAIMS to be a Witness of Jehovah when in actuality he is not.
So what? Who cares? Chill man! have a beer or two!
If Jehovah has a problem with it he can deal with it himself, right?
Aren't you constantly reminded to "wait on Jehovah" to deal with matters?

jws are supposed to interested in performing a "lifesaving work" but the truth is they are more interested in finding not-at-homes than actual people.
and if they do find people, chances are that getting this most important message out to them will not occur because, unless they're invalids, they'll be out when you drop by.
if you don't see a return visit----face to face----for many months, that's not unusual.
How Would You Prove That JWs Are Frauds?
I'd have them study their own publications a little more closely - and bring in older publications for comparison.

i used to hate hearing the expression "we're all in the same boat".
usually it came up in conversation when you were discussing the state of the world and financial affairs, etc.
i used to particularly hate it when it came from somebody (usually an elder) who had a business and a great deal of money.
I agree. Most of the time I feel like I'm in a leaky canoe without a paddle or bailing bucket.
Oh yeah, I can't swim either.

This is the same elder who always encouraged young people to clean windows and pioneer too, right?

he's the "exemplar" of christianity...right?
so what else did jc not do that so-called "christians" today do practice...?
p.s.- yes i'm refering to the dubs...primarily...
JC didn't pioneer™.
JC didn't have a 4 door sedan.
JC didn't shave.
JC didn't wear a tie. I don't think he wore pants either.

years ago i was driving down the highway one night, listening to a radio talk show host.. he had some time to kill, so he said to the audience, "i know, let's talk about liver!
how many of you out there like liver?
and if you do like liver, do you have a favorite recipe.".
Nothing can get rid of me quicker than the smell of liver. I hated it all my life, though I tried to choke it down a few times. I have to admit that on one occasion, after a very hard days work, a co-worker invited me to his home for dinner. What did his wife make? LIVER! I ate it just to be polite, but I was surprised at how good it was! I even had second and third helpings! It must all be in the preparation.
If it weren't for my gout I'd try making it myself.

Why dont the ones who still attend but donot believe and hate it, just STOP going? I do not get it really.
Perhaps they fear having their families torn away from them.
How on earth can you let it go and move on with life if you keep holding on to it?
You do make a valid point here. I used to spend much more time here and found that continually rehashing the same old crap was hindering the healing process. It's much like constantly picking at a scab and wondering why the wound takes so long to heal. The discussion boards can be informative and supportive, but they can also be addictive. Since having a mild heart attack a couple of months ago I spend much less time here, and I find my level of stress has decreased significantly.

i mean they call themselves the watchtower bible and tract society??????????.
i mean, who the hell has a whole society built around bibles and tracts?
really the name is wierd.
Behold! These tracts are resplendent!!! Observe them in their natural habitat shoved in the doorframe of some sheep of good will, in between the knobshaft and the wood paneling. They will not rest until they are nestled comfortably in the trash can, between a political flyer and the sales insert of the Sunday paper.
I always thought that the natural habitat of tracts and watchtowers was on the bottom of my cockatoo's cage. She makes great piles, and the watchtowers are wonderfully absorbant! Now that is truly resplendent!!!!!! W

Dont you know that the bible said people like you would QUIETLY slip in the Congregation and subvert the faith of some?
I wonder if this person actually reads any of the posts here. If they did they'd see that most are trying to quietly slip out of the congregations, not into them.
I think most of us would rather just live our lives in peace, without the Watchtower constantly trying to insert itself into our lives and families.
What's wrong with them, that they think they can destroy lives and families while expecting their victims to simply shut up and take it?

think about this for a moment.. jws believe that their relentless work now will be rewarded with paradise later.. however, in an effort to get into paradise, many jws do nothing but work, and serve god.
i know my mother does.. so i wonder, what does she think she's going to do in paradise?
what is there that she likes, that will occupy her eternally??.
Just think, the animals will be at peace with one another, and humans will no longer eat meat. That means there will be no natural predators, so the populations of all species will explode. This will result in all vegetation on the earth being consumed very quickly. Without vegetation, all land will soon erode into the oceans. The air will be thick with insects.
Then Jehovah will recall the scripture that says "God will bring to ruin those ruining the earth", and he will realize that he is responsible for the entire bloody mess.
Justice will demand that he execute himself.

we were told at our convention that "some" brothers and sisters exercise up to an hour or 2 a day.
"some" even join gyms.
then we were told that this would be "self-serving" and a real waste of valuable time better spent on theocratic things.. ouch!.
What is ironic is you insisting on dispensing health advice to someone who flat out didn't want/ask for it.
Not to mention that he's most likely not a qualified health professional. A qualified, ethical, health professional would refrain from giving medical advice to an individual who's case he was unfamiliar with, particularly when such advice is unsolicited.
To state that someone can lose 100 lbs in a year by simply eating less is utterly stupid. I tried it - didn't work. If someone actually believes that the quantity of food intake is the only factor that determines a person's weight, then that person is extremely uninformed, and should refrain from offering advice on the subject.
Unless, of course, he enjoys making a public display of his ignorance.
