If there is a bigger waste of time than door-to-door field service, I'd like to know about it.

Reasons for disbelief: The top ten reasons I am an atheist
by whereami inmany people ask why someone like me, who came from a christian home, went to a christian high school and then went on to spend five years in seminary and become a pastor, a missionary, and an evangelist, would turn his back on the god he spent a lifetime worshiping and serving and give up all faith in the supernatural.
the answer is very simple, and im about to give it.
first, however, let me tell you what the reason is not.. most people, upon hearing my story, all unanimously decide regardless of their own spiritual beliefs or religious affiliations that i must be mad at god.

Bravo.
...the only reason I believed in Creationism [or God or the bible, etc.] was because that’s what I wanted to believe in...
Bravo.

Did anyone on this site claim to be of the annointed?
by still thinking injust curious, because i'm trying to get my head around what makes someone think they were annointed?
and then, if they left, what made them realise they weren't?
and how did you feel about discovering that.. i read crisis of concience and that was a real turning point for me, i don't think there is any going back to old thought processess after that.

Back in the day, there were two annointed partakers at our KH.
One was a sweet old, old lady who had been around since early Rutherford days (maybe even pre-Rutherford). I think she was the first Bible Student or JW in our town.
The other was a complete pompous asshole, who moved in from out-of-state, and immediately set about taking charge of the KH under his cult of personality. He had a bunch of people snowed. There were actually a number of folks that followed him from his old out-of-state congreation and moved to our town, just to be with him, THAT'S how strong his cult of personality was. He was a cult-within-a-cult, if that's possible.
Turns out he only showed up at our KH because he had been tar-and-feathered back at his old KH. They (the elders from the old KH) finally caught up with him and had him disfellowshipped.
What a day that was.

I might have less than 2 months to live---
by moshe inso says harold camping-.
-(newser) - as you may have heard, the rapture is coming on may 21, 2011. self-taught radio and internet preacher harold camping is sure of it, and he's got iron-clad logic on his side.
see, by examining carbon dating, tree rings, and other highly scientific data, he's concluded that noah started loading his ark in 4990 bc, he tells usa today.

looky looky - A 'real' J-dub forum! (are they becoming normal???)
by Reality79 inso did the 'da society' give these dub internet savvies permission to start a forum?
because last i checked, the ole boys in their oversized brooklyn bunker didn't want their members on the internet unless it was to view their own official websites.
i thought maybe it was an apostate forum until i read their long winded, typically condescending jdub style membership guidelines:.

Interesting topic: "If a sister needs to offer prayer, but a napkin in not available, is an unused Kotex acceptable as a replacement?"
Wish I could see the replies.

One thing the WT got right was the Trinity being false.

What matters is your FAITH, and faith is not based on Bible, faith is a gift and you only need to accept it
"Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!"
"Again?"

Worldly people don't suck
by streets76 inmy wife (never a jw) is ill and undergoing a series of treatments that will last for many months.
it's a physical, emotional, and financial drain on both of us.. my wife has run her own business for many years and has an extensive client list that includes some very well-to-do folks.
one of those clients called her one day and offered to pay all of her medical expenses.

Every other day people show up with prepared meals. This has been the norm for many weeks.
As Randy Newman once sang, "human kindness is overflowing..."
Wordly people don't suck.
I didn't realize that until I became one.

They really are pooping their pants over these latest "signs"...
by undercover ini've seen a few threads/posts where some of y'all have heard from jw contacts and how they've stepped up their 'the end is close' rhetoric because of the earthquake/tsunami in japan.
i usually take those things with a grain of salt.
there's always some jw whose cheese has slipped that reads prophecy into every little thing that happens.

[Breaking out into song:] Lord, here I am, send me, send me...no greater honor could There BE, LOOOORD!! Here I am, send me, send me.
