    My favorite movie changes from year to year....right now I will say it is "Capote"

    What an OddBall he was...the actor deserved the best actor award for playing Truman Capote.

    Yesterday on encore...a movie was playing called "Strange Invaders" Reminded me so much of the Watchtower GB's.....they came from outerspace and wanted total control over the small town of people.

    How much persecution did you expect to come when you were a JW?

    did you expect, that one day, you would be persecuted for being a jw?.

    how bad did you expect it to get?

    do jw's today still expect some kind of persecution to come because of their beliefs and actions?

    I could not see any persecution coming in a liberal and tolerent modern western society where freedom of religious belief is guaranteed by the constitution.



    Ditto! I felt the same way.

    The Story of Adam & Eve

    i learned that the story of adam and eve was exactly that, 'a story'.

    i remember learning that in my religion class in high school.

    i learned that the old testament was filled with tales and that none should be taken literally because these were stories of oral tradition.

    Hi there James Woods, So tell me about evolution, "Which came first, the Male or the Female"?

    At least in the Creation story of the Bible there was an Intelligent being who made the decision to create the Male and Female. Although not every detail is mentioned and it does sound like a Myth the way the creation story is told, I still believe we have a higher power than oursleves.

    Male and Female and evolution? In my estimation there is NO WAY evolution evolved the other sex and from there, we humans procreate. Think about it! If we evolved then we don't need the other sex, going back to the mud buggers.

    Claiming Christianity in an Apostate Organization!

    courtesy of towerwatcher: claiming christianity in an apostate organization!

    webster's dictionary defines the word "apostasy" as, "an abandoning of what one believed in, as a faith, political party, principles etc".

    what better way to illustrate the true definition of acts of apostasy, than to list some of the criminal acts that many cults are committing today in the name of christianity.

    Further investigation into the matter found that many Jehovah's Witnesses who were well and able bodied and in good health, were committing social security fraud, by falsely claiming to be sick, disabled, or old aged! "Auxiliary pioneers", "full-time pioneers", as well as "circuit overseers" had fraudulently filled out applications to gain financial support from CAMIVAC! The letters, "CAMIVAC" stand for, (Church Insurance Fund for old-aged, incapacity, and illness benefits). This social security scheme was detected and listed on page 19 of the Mission report. (See scan of page 19 below).

    Damn It! Why can't the WTS pay these people a decent wage. After all they DO work for the society.

    i haven't been on in a while so i've been perusing the threads today and i do have to say the last few have been fantastic.

    i find this a great forum to post something learned, something funny, or to just get something off your chest.

    we each have our own way of de-brainwashing(if you want to use that term)ourselves but we also share quite a bit in common.
