....and no, I don't want to see your porn collection....(well only if it is good))
Shhhhh dont tell anyone but I don't even have a porn collection, I find it boring
as some of you may know, i'm still an active witness and i'm still in the planning stages of my "escape".
i met a sister at a district convention a year ago and i've been talking to her on aim for a while.
i think she is very amusing considering that she is very intelligent and often voices her views on the doctrinal falicies of the wtbs, but when its my turn to give my two cents she makes it seem as if i'm the only poztate.

Dr. Jekyll made a point on which I agree
Bloody hell!
For the first time in my life an Elders actually agreed with me! ...Wow
Wait a sec you're not sucking up to me to get me to the memorial are you?

albert d schroeder died yesterday (8th march) at 10.30 est.
he was 94.. no need to book a holiday this summer, barmeygeddon is just around the corner...
Sorry, I just can't get into mocking the dead lately.
I find it easy in this case, all I have to do is close my eyes and imagine all the gravestones of all the Df'd that killed themselves because of this mans beliefs. There's a scripture that says something like "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing"

I wondered about cause of death because, although 94, I hadn't seen anything reported that he was in bad health.
Heart attack caused by a hooker spanking him a spatula
lol

I wonder if Satan and God will argue over his body like they did with moses...

I don't blame God for what's happening, but having been raised in the troof and seeing how I've been lied too, I've come to reevaluate everything about the Bible, God, Jesus etc.
I think this is how it is for everyone on this board, we have to sieve the wheat from the chaff until we find something we're happy with. This is going to vary from person to person. No ones right, no ones wrong.
There is no reason why God couldn't intervene NOW.
People have been saying this for the last 2000 years, some would say that events unfolding in the middle east now are the opening act of Gods big play. Personally I don't believe anymore but that's just my view and I wouldn't want to shove my view upon anyone else. I did far to much of that as a dub, and I now realise I was in the wrong.
We see a glimpse of what happens in the news, God watches and hears all media channels and can see first hand from above the terrible things that are happening.
Justice never goes forth, I don't understand what we are waiting for.
Personally I do believe Justice goes forth, its just that it is Slow, very slow. Think of all the political despots that rose to power in the 20th century. They all came to ruin eventually, whether that was God pulling the strings I don't know but I do know that not everyone gets away with it.
I have to accept now, that I may grow old and die and never see the promised paradise. What does that leave for me?
Same here for me, same for the other 6 million of us. We were promised so much and so little was delivered, is it any wonder some of us are angry and refuse to let other men dominate us.
I'm still in for friends and family, and it's killing me.
This will sound harsh but I don't mean it that way its just the best way to say it. If you cant stand the heat of the kitchen you know where the kitchen door is.
Yes I know its easier said than done and yes I do know how hard it is to leave because I've actually done it. It hurts big time but I came to realise I could go on the rest of my life hurting and never be happy or I could leave, hurt for a while but then eventually be happy.
What ever you do I wish you the best and while i might not like your preachy style I do recognise that your intentions were good.

It would seem that I am of the minority on this board who actually care about such things as family, proper restraints and healthy boundaries.
Careful brother you are sounding a little self righteous there...
There are people here that do care about the things you mentioned but they tend to go about it in a more restrained way, they don't go around forcing their views upon everybody else like its some sort of new dogma.
It would also seem that many people here have been hurt so badly by the Jehovah's Witnesses, that they cannot imagine anybody, any higher power telling them what to do or how to lead their lives.
I agree with you here, we've all been mislead and lied to by people claiming to know whats best for us and they've often backed it up with quotes like "many Drs believe". I can see where you are coming from here and it is the reason your post got my back up so badly. I'm not going to assume that I speak for anybody else on here and I am only speaking for myself but I don't want anybody else telling me how to live *my* life TYVM
they have completely switched off their conscience and implanted a "my rights and sod everyone else" attitude.
I disagree with this comment. I still approach the world with a "treat people as you'd like them to treat you" attitude. We disagree on the pornography because our consciences are different. Yes I agree with you that *Some* pornography is exploitive but I also happen to disagree with you that pornography destroys marriages and relationships. You see things as either Black or White, you dont see the grey bits and when people disagree with you you become personally abusive. Isn't that an example of "my rights and sod everyone else".
The Society has a lot to answer for, and I welcome there downfall.
Yayyy We agree again.
It's sad too, that God has failed to act, to bring about justice for mankind and give us real hope.
Oh its gods fault now for not acting...
I see good people here who are letting their conscience fail them, they are becoming anaimalistic and self serving in their outlook. They don't care who they hurt, as long as they can satisfy their own desires.They don't want to hear "right and wrong", they want to hear "it's my choice, it's my right, it's none of your business what I do, so screw you."
So who's to say What is right and what is wrong. I don't believe in a higher power and I'm not going to put my trust in Man again. So who is left to turn to?
I'm sorry but you sound self righteous, Victorian in outlook and preachy. I personally am not going to pay attention to someone like you.
Unlike you my minds open on such matters. I accept that for some pornography may be damaging to their relationships but that says more about the people involved than pornography. I also accept that some won't have a problem with it. Within my own relationship we are both adult enough to know that just looking at someone else isn't going to mean then end of us as a couple.

Mary,Since you have more intelligence than Dr Jekyll, I will respond to your comments.
LOL so anyone that disagrees with "nanny" here is to be considered Stupid, says it all really.
Nanny knows best.
this may be a question for ex-elders.
is it always the case that a talk will be given after a d/f or reproof relating to the persons 'sin'?
after these announcements in our hall we always seemed to have a talk/local needs, which practically told you what the person had done.
Mind you, I was there when they announced dedpoet was no longer a jw, and the elder who announced that one had a tough time not laughing, I think they were glad to see him go!
Why? what happened?
