  ahh yes, it's the end of another work / school week once again.

  it's time to breathe in some friday night air, kick back, relax, maybe knock a few back... .

  the question is, what are my fellow jwd-ers doing tonight??.

  Here's one to ya Super Becka! OK and another

  (I'm on my 3rd)

  So what else can one do in Newfoundland on a Friday night? A few of my buddies went there in ' 90 to "help where the need is great"

  They reported that going there is like going back in time. ( 100 yrs. or so)

  From where I live in NH it seems like NWFD is at the end of the planet. Please don't take this as an insult in any way. I'm just fascinated with anyone that lives in a colder, more northerly location than me.

  Here's to warm thoughts and sunny days.

  Religion Quiz, your results?

  by daystar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .. you scored as agnosticism.

  you are an agnostic.

  though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in god, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic.

  Okay, so I'm a little unsettled to see SATANISM as my number 2. ( Maybe everyone in the cong. is right)

  But isn't this test awesome...It demonstrates to me that the beauty of humanity is in it's diversity.

  Thanks for sharing that story -- it has so many elements similar to events I experienced. The total awkwardness yet soooo exciting prospects of actually being alone with and KISSING a girl !!! How nostalgic.

  I love it when people on this forum relate stories like this and it reminds me of something long forgotten.

  You scored as Buddhism.
  Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already. In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.
  Buddhism 88% Satanism 83% Paganism 79% Islam 79% Hinduism 63% agnosticism 58% Judaism 54% Christianity 33% atheism 25%

  UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN

  by onesong in

  i wanted to mention this book by jon krakauer.

  it is an excellent piece of journalism about the mormons and was critical in helping me find my way out of the borg.

  because it deals with a different religion it certainly doesn't seem to threaten yours as a jw.

Because it deals with a different religion it certainly doesn't seem to threaten yours as a JW. However as I read it it was hard not to begin to see some similarities going on. A friend of mine who is still deeply in the Org. read it as well and couldn't sleep at night while reading it. Somewhere in his subconscious he knows. Shortly after reading it we both traveled to Salt Lake City and while there looked for it in bookstores. It was nowhere to be found. No doubt considered "apostate" there. It might be something to share with family or friends depending on your situation.

  Do you still pray?

  by undercover in

  2. friends

  (helps to put something in the subject line .

  it's that time once again for yours truly to try to channel minimus and ask a pertinent question sure to spark a lot of interest and debate amongst the ex-jw community.

  the question: do you still pray?.

  I wouldn't call it praying (especially to a god) but I do like to take moments now and then to reflect and express my gratitude to the universe for all that I have.

  Before meals as a family we all raise our glasses and give a good "Cheers!" Anything to celebrate life.

  Thanks for your imput Odrade.

  I don't know how else to say it but I know that it is entirely possible that they were being abused. I'm not denying that or defending Berry. I don't even want to imply that the girls were lying.
