by reneeisorym in2 years ago i left jws.
i went to a baptist church because it was what my husband was.
i knew i wanted to go to church but which one i really didn't know yet.. two years later, i think i have made up my mind: presbyterian.. anyone have anything they want to share?

I just had a rather lengthy conversation with a friend about the differences between Catholic, Baptist and JW. He said that they all three make very similar demands
on your time and they all have the same sort of fear factor that motivates you to continue your service. He has personally chosen to be a Baptist. He said that Catholics
think that they believe in Christ but they really don't. Therefore, because they don't really know that they don't believe in Christ then they will die and burn in hell at the
final hour because they don't really have the faith. He said that they had gone to a Presbertyian church and they really did seem to study the bible, having 3 and 4 translations
available. It sounded educational. After the conversation it reinforced in my mind that I don't care to ever belong to a church. They all seem so ready to send you to
hell and I have had enough of that, hell, the lake of fire, everlasting death. Whichever you choose they all seem to be rather judmental.
My personal preference is summed up in the Dalai Lama's words: "This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy, our
own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
Though, Renesorym, I do understand your desire to teach your children about the bible and the things that you believe. I hope that you and
your family find hapiness and enlightenment in whatever course you desire.

Posting
by purplesofa inwhen i first came to this board, i was mesmerized at the knowledge.
people had ideas and thoughts and voiced them and did it quite well.. i was a witness, i hardly read more than a paragraph at a time.....stopped, answered a planned out question in the paragraph, highlighted and went on.. formulating my own thoughts was one thing, but getting them typed out was another.. i saw all sorts of opionions thrown out there, debates, bantering back and forth........i was impressed to say the least and yes, intimidated.. them there posters had some balls and i wanted some too.. i was careful not to post things too controversial as to not make waves........i got my feelings hurt alot, said i was never going to post again, went stomping off.
licked my wounds did some soul searching and came back.

What Can You Say to Jehovah's Witnesses Lame Excuses ?
by flipper ini noticed jg nat started a thread kind of similar, but dealing with elders .
my wife helped me come up with this thread with some good ideas here.
there are a few gems that witnesses use as excuses, phraseology they use to make excuses for their beliefs.

They are imperfect men and they make mistakes?
In the past my reply has been then why are they the only ones allowed to make mistakes. The catholic church has imperfect men that make mistakes, the baptist church has imperfect men that make mistakes, etc. Why not the same allowances for all imperfect men?
One time someone said, "Well, that is true but they are the only imperfect men that use Jehovahs name." My reply, the bible didn't lay that as a criteria for being his chosen religion. Then, the circular reasoning comes out.
My dad, Uninformed, was speaking to a witness a couple weeks ago and he was discussing with her why they were dfed. She said that he just took it too seriously. My parents just believed it too much. He told her that wasn't this our eternal life that we are dealing with and she said that it didn't really matter and that you can do what you want.
There really isn't any reasoning with them.

I am a woman and my husband is always getting onto me becuase I run the car until nearly empty. I think it is just plumb lazy. You get going and don't want to stop until you have to.

Accidentally Hit Animals with Cars ? A Problem in Rural areas-Experiences?
by flipper inso, hello folks.
i have wanted to start this thread for sometime because i was curious if it has happened to any of you often.
in the last 10 years or so it seemed that deer were attracted to my trucks like magnets .

Once, when I was about 18, with a group of people out in service, I decided to play around like I was going to hit this squirrel and then the squirrel ran back and I ended up hitting it.
I felt really terrible and everyone looked at me like I was a jerk. I really felt like one.
The other day, my husband was driving down a curvy coutry road about dusk and a beaver ran out before he could do anything about it and he hit it. He felt real bad, we live in Texas and don't see many beavers out here.
Also, about seven years ago, while driving in New Mexico at night, I hit a coyote. It was depressing. Nothing that we have ever hit has done any damage to our vehicles. The only good thing is that at least the animals were killed instantly.
