skeptic2, at a certain point you just have to nod your head, smile, and back away. The forces of blind credulity will always trump the forces of logic.
skyking, seriously, you just go and believe whatever you want. Ghosts, telepathy, you name it. Have a nut. You'll be happier in your life if you don't ask too many questions or demand evidence for what you believe. BTW the Witnesses are recruiting in your area. They have an excellent belief system. It should be right up your alley, they don't give any proof for their claims either.

Telephone Telapathy
by lonelysheep inhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060905/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_britain_telepathy
has anyone ever experienced this?
i have, as well as with emails and especially text messages.. do you think there's any chance this could be real-that there is a valid, unspoken connection between people who reach out to each other?

It was easy! I downloaded your file (the third link worked), opened it in Word, clicked "Print", selected the fake PDFCreator printer, and clicked "ok." Then I uploaded it to my Google Pages account.
Heh okay maybe not so easy for everyone, but I do this stuff for a living. ;) -

headmath, check out PDF Creator. Totally free way to create PDFs from any document--it shows up as a "printer" when you go to print, and saves PDFs. Very useful.

There's also a transvestite who used to post on JWD in the past who said he was Jesus.

Ha! This is the funniest thing I've read all week.
I mean yeah, he was all pissed when the angels came down to get some action, and then he turns around and impregnates Mary! He's like Zeus. I wonder if he took the shape of a swan, too?
I realize this is a deliberate misunderstanding of the concept of immaculate conception but I still get a huge kick out of it. -

A story that is hard for me to tell
by under_believer inonce upon a time there was a daddy who really, really liked alcohol.
he drank too much all the time and smelled like wine, cheap wine from a box.
) the daddy's boys also grew up.

katiekitten, you're absolutely right. And she only has the luxury of saying that to me--my sister experienced the same things that she did, at the hands of the same man. And, I mean, no I wasn't sexually abused, since I wasn't a little girl, but I was whipped with a 5 foot long antenna by a man who was both childish and emotionally unavailable, so, I dunno, yeah my childhood was kind of shit too. I don't think that the fact that she had it worse makes my childhood okay.
It bothers me even more that she's willing to write all of that off and say it's all okay since they also taught her about "our wonderful god Jehovah." It completely blows me away -

I did hear, puck. I saw your littlest sister at the circuit assembly recently (after your brother's announcement) and she looked really sad.
At some point I'll tell the whole story... it's coming out bit by bit here on JWD, but I'll get around to compiling all of it soon. -

Challenging the Discussion Board with Unsettling Questions

this post contains reasonable questions due to the fact.
that individuals who no longer claim to be one of jehovah's.

I guess I don't really understand what you're getting at. Nobody denies that being a Witness will affect them for the rest of their lives. As for why people are still here, there are probably as many reasons as there are people. I'm on here because I can't leave the organization yet, and posting here helps me keep my sanity. And I think I may have some useful things to offer others who are trying to get out.
I think you're overgeneralizing the situation. There isn't one single kind of person posting here. Why are you here?
