  Reading " Crisis of Consience", What did you Learn, How did it affect you?

  by flipper in

  thought this would be good to discuss for the newbies and others just getting out of the witnesses, so they can have their thinking and appetites whetted of things they never knew coming out from under the witness organizations spell.

  i know for myself, after reading this book, it totally clarified what the reasons were for all the control in the organization.

  and i was informed of things i never had a clue that were going on behind the bethel scenes.

  I was always told...the GB anointed are not like the Pope in Rome...One can ask to see them and actually have a conversation with them.

  In Ray's book CoC..he tells a different story of how the 2 young Pioneers from Ireland thought the same way that they could ask for an audience to see one of the GB members in Brooklyn, to question them on a matter....They were givien the run around and later after going back to Ireland disappointed were accused of spreading rumours. Which wasn't so. All they wanted was the truth they never received.

  i don't know if this has been discussed before but what if we find life on mars?

  what do you all think would happen to bible based religion if we discover life on mars?

  and a question for bible believers what would change in your belief if there is such a discovery?

  I can't see life existing on another planet besides earth, in our solar system, however, I feel life might exist in another galaxy far far away.

  Out-of-body experiences recreated in a lab

  2. friends

  wonder what paranormal believers will make of this.

  british and swiss researchers have succeeded in deliberately inducing out-of-body sensations.

  If you believe what you feel/see really happened (wasn't a dream/hallucination/brain dysfunction) you build an entire belief system around it. Then, you write books, go on tv and charge disciples by the hour. Then, an industry springs up and you have seminars, conventions and T-shirts.

  Do you mean, like that man from the "God Delusion"? Sounds like him!

  Quotes from the cd on pedophilia?

  by deborahs_song in

  2. friends

  we are unable to purchase the cd because my husband is still an elder and is very wary of giving out our name to anyone.

  could some here perhaps post some quotes they found particularly damning to the society?

  Seeker, a person still has to pay with a credit card and give an address to send the CD...

  If one is still in the Borg...There is the "FEAR FACTOR" always!

  The Truth From the Bible About the 144,000

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i hope this wont take me too long, as being concise isnt my biggest talent.

  a recent thread on the 144,000 made me put a couple of things together about the governing body.

  these are the ones that claim to have authority from jehovah, to tell the over 6,00,000 that although we arent masters over anyones faith, these 150 items are absolutely prohibited for you to do.
