someone else posted on another forum they heard on the radio michael jackson is dead.
.
As I posted on the other thread...
Here's to Michael Jackson, , a young JW who was a victim of that vicious doublespeak. Someone who could never stabilize after being exposed to such dissonant thinking. He MAY have done the bad things attributed to him. But let us never forget from where he came. For those interested, a NYC radio station KTU, is celebrating his life by playing his music till midnight. The link to listen live is here: http://www.ktu.com/main.html

i recently found an ex-jw site and have been posting there.
i came across this site also and have been enjoying reading your posts and the discussions you have.
you're a fiesty lot on these boards and i love it!
Welcome BH. As already mentioned nice name.
i'm a long time lurking of this site(2 years) and a first time poster.
to provide a little background of myself i was not raised as a witness but started studying when i was 19 and got baptized at age 21. a few months after i was baptized i left due to the constant worship of the faithful and discreet slave and the lack of emphasis on christ.
for reasons i'm not sure about yet i decided to attend the district convention last week.
Bluegrass, just remember that there are many religious groups that can satisfy a need to be around moral, Bible oriented people without being as controlling as WT is.
once your kids move out.....and you hit midlife crap..........just how much do you or should you do this?.....here in usa......times are pretty awful moneywise/workwise.......i just feel the need to downsize bigtime..........anybody gone supersimple and are now superhappier??........thanks......oompa.

I think that this is a concept made up by people who lived in simple times. It's true that we can over complicate things in our lives through poor planning, or dysfunctional behaviors. But it's also true that our lives are complex because we have grown as a species. We know more about science, health, human psychology. We need to remember that the Bible was written two to four thousand years ago! They just had less to think about back then. So I know give a lot of credence to this simple life stuff. I'd rarther have all the things that we have today and screw the simplicity.
dear brothers and sisters,.
i martini, will confide in you that i have become a neutral jehovah's witness.
i wonder if i'm not coining a new phrase here!.
Welcome Jotace. Your Mom reminds me of mine. Full brainwash indeed.
background information for those who do not know:.
curtis shane thompson was raised by his jw mom.
in 1985 he was arrested and subsequently convicted for four violent rapes in the seattle area.
If you have bad credit and you want to finance a new car, you may be required to have a cosigner. Someone who agrees to make your payments if you fail to. The courts should require people to be cosigners when they support the release of criminals. Meaning they agree to go to jail if the criminal reoffends.
Interesting concept. While impractical I wish there were a better way of screening jurists at times. Sometimes people who have poor judgment and little idea of cause and effect make major decisions that subsequently hurt others. It's infuriating.
and we sometimes think we have issues here.... .
oh jehovah how much longer until you're vindicated.
remembering our brothers in zimbabwe.
Expect to see real problems like this more often as WT's fiscal problems grow.
if our world was a paradise with no sickness, pain, or death, would anyone have ever considered the concept of a supreme being?
who would care how we got here?
would not eternity be taken for granted?.
Excellent points.
please check out the new site!
thanks to all of you for your suggestions!
also, this is the first website i have created so it's very basic for now.
Good idea on a pic. I'm dropping you an email later.
