Welcome Marissa
Salvation lies within IMO. It comes from wisdom, honesty with yourself and love of yourself. No other can give it or find it for you.
I only see confusion coming to you from this thread, particularly if any Christians get hold of it.

ok, lets have a discussion about where we all came from, evolution or creation?
(or whatever you beleive in of course) every one put down there main reasons, along with reasonable facts and backup as to why.. .
hopefully this doesnt start to many arguments, lol.. .
Sam, welcome.
I must bang on about your 'big brain' theory.
This, with all due respect, is a perfect example of how the WTS would reason. Make a claim, make it with authority and no matter how feckin' ludicrous it sounds, some poor sod will believe it.
Sam, it's an idiotic statement dear boy!
As for how we got here, i don't really know. I do tend to believe in eternity though.
As for Genocidal Jesus and his Fascist Dad....i hate 'em!

in the bizarre world that exists within the watchtower society headquarters in brooklyn you can find all kinds of strange statements.
particularly funny is the use of the expressions indisputable/physical facts.
these are the words the writing department uses when they have absolutely zero arguments for something.

Another pearl of a post!! Brilliant.
When the scales fall from ones' eyes it is all to apparent that the WTS is an organisation of gargantuan falsehoods.

yesterday afternoon my older son, karl, who is studying musical production at brighton university, came round to see his family.
he had just been to see his pregnant girlfriend, who is staying with her mum and dad for a week.. karl is a wonderful boy; the type of son any parent would be proud of.
he is loving, considerate, respectful and has never once caused any trouble or been in any.
Birch the little shits!!!!!!!
Bring back Corporal Punishment!
My son is at Uni' in Manchester at the moment. Went to see the house he's sharing the other day and the area looks reasonable.
What happened to Karl can happen anywhere and i hope my son can escape this sort of disgusting trogladyte barbarism. Glad Karl is doing OK.
BIRCH 'EM!
Peace to you and yours Ian.

whats the funniest comment heard from the audience during a wt study/book study/service meeting?.
we had a young retarded kid in our cong , who had his hand up for every single question , usually the bro would take his comment as he would just say "jehovah" but this time he takes the mic and starts this long winded comment rounded off with"satans going to cause a civil war!
priceless !.
During one Service Meeting a brother was giving a talk relating how many young people commit suicide, giving examples of how they did it and figures from different countries about how many suicides took place. Really depressing talk.
After expounding his unhappy facts, he opened it up to the audience. "How does all that make you feel brothers"?
In the audience was a 'study' who was obviously not used to the procedure for answering.
After a few seconds of silence the 'study' shouted out......."SUICIDAL". Laugh? Oh yeah.

i went to a ex-jw's potluck the other day and it will be my last time going.
there were about 20 ex-jw's there just bashing the watchtower society for 2 hours.
i had all i could take and left.
I find myself sympathising with you booker-t.
To rant on and on about it for 2 hours at a social gathering where people are there to enjoy themselves is almost dysfunctional.
We have left HELL......why would we want to bring it with us??
This site is good for the occasional rant but some do seem to be really bogged down and damaged, which is sad.

we are just friends and we talk maybe 3 or 4 times a year, just to catch up.
well today, actually 5 minutes ago he said he was going to be in my area with in the next month and wants to have dinner.. i don't see a problem with it.
i haven't seen him in years and it would be nice just to meet up for dinner and some laughs.
I'd be 'ripping mad' if my wife went for a meal with an ex!
I can imagine that it would be appealing Brooke but it's a BIG no-no in my world.
Not that i know your situation but i would wager that he's not just interested in 'friendship'.

what exactly is the cause of the wtbts total obsession with masturbation?.
is there any religion in the world that has printed so many articles on this topic?.
if your feelings are similart to those of luiz, pedro or andre, take courage.
I knew a lad that stitched his foreskin together with a needle and thread because he was made to feel so bad about his 'habit'.
Admittedly, he may have been 'a few sandwiches short of a picnic' in the first place to do something like that but it just illustrates what a huge impact this org' has on young minds.
Phew!
