  i just finished reading this book.

  i've got to say, that last chapter was amazing and so inspiring.

  i haven't felt that good after reading a book in a long time.

  ****Is it possible for anyone to remain a JW after reading this?****

  Good question. Ray remained a member of the GB even though he lived it and saw first hand all their hypocrisy! He lived through it all yet he did not leave the Organization. Think about that!

  Dunlap got disfellowshipped but Ray did not leave the Organization!

  Ray was put out of Bethel but he did not leave the Organization!

  Yet, many who have read his books do leave. He did not but they do....why is that?

  I know I risk being thrown off this DB for the above comments.

  One thing I've learned since leaving the Witnesses and that is.... what's wrong with the witnesses is common to all, even exJW's,.....the desire to be right and be proven right at all costs is paramount ....even above the truth.

  Oh...by the way....I do admire Ray Franz .....I just don't think he is right about everything all the time......

  It's likely this post will be removed by those who, while declaring the glories of freedom of speech against the Watchtower, do not allow the same among themselves. lol

  Why Most Christians Can And Do Celebrate Birthdays

  by wanda in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on another thread they were talking about the lack of joy and mental health problems coming from jw kids not being allowed to participate at class dances, sports and so forth.

  the lack of the joyfulness of birthdays is another factor.

  why not leave some copies of this in your kingdom halls and assemblies if you still attend.

  Carmel,

  Jws are no different than most religions or nations. The Roman Catholics both raped and covered and ignored. Most do....

  It's a fact that Asian boys and girls are forced into sexual slavery in order to serve at the pleasure of white European and American men. Also, women and girls are raped and sold to African men everyday. In South America child rape is nothing new.

  Child molestation is a commodity not a crime in the real world....especially that part of the world that supplies our cheap goods!

  Sure there's a problem among JWs.....just as I am quite sure there are sexual predators on this board.

  This would be a good Question from readers about Judicial Committees

  by scrubmaster in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  .

  this would be a good questions from readers.......having read several scriptures about how the judges heard judicial case in the public court yard..so that all would see that true justice was served and know why a person was being stoned if it should come to type of punishment...what scriptural bases does the society have for conducting judicial cases in secret and then expect everyone to shun(stone) some one with out knowing what the crime was.

  i would love so see what scriptures if any they could come up with.

  TresHappy,

  The problem is "making up crap" is not restricted to the JWs. Inventing "crap" is the avocation of every group who has an agenda whether that agenda is religion, politics or the so called "scientific" pursuits.

  "Buyer Beware," applies to every aspect of life!

  Hi Wanda,

  I'm an exJW whose kids have never had a birthday party or birthday gifts. They did though...have plenty of love and lots of toys.

  "Birthday" celebrations do not in themselves make a happy family. When I was a child my parents celebrated birthdays but that did not mean our family was a happy or balanced one.

  Most families in the west celebrate birthdays, Christmas and Easter but that in itself does not make their family whole or happy.

  Love makes a family. Not gifts or traditions....

  Just my personal opinion,

  Maybe Hillary and Farkel are taking long walks together through fields of dreams. Or maybe, just maybe, they've found a life outside of the sick exJW world.

  Either way I wish madness and dirty socks for them both!

  Though deep, very deep, in my heart I love them.
