there are two things.
in the early and mid 80s there were witnesses saying that the cartoon characters the smurfs were not acceptable for witnesses.
i had two smurf cartoon books and my mother made me throw them away.
an elder once told me that the beatles pre-REVOLVER were OK, but Revolver and after was all demonic!

the recent un scandal and the departure of some dear friends and loved ones from the borg inspired me to get xjwnews.com off the ground.
i always dreamed of a site like that, but i don't think that i have the will to keep running it.. in our first month, we had nearly 20,000 hits.
kent, simon, randy and several other xjw's with single name status helped along the way.
i can totally see where you are coming from Mike. Thats sort of the reason why I don't post here as much....the more I dwell on stuff the more depressed and insane I feel. I'm just trying to get on w/ my life and free my mind. We are moving into our new apt. in Seattle on March 1st, which means we start our journey out west on Feb. 22nd. Hoping to visit you in Arizona sometime next year....hope it works otu for you.

an old friend of the family stopped by my house last night.
i had not seen him for about two years.
he was disfellowhispped about 3 or 4 years ago, but would drop in every now and ask me business related questions.
i can totally relate. I tiptoe around EVERYONE i know except for
my wife, our best friend, and badwillie and wife. thats why i'm moving 2800 miles away...i'm slowly going insane. oh well.

a couple of months ago i was addicted to this board when the whole un thing was going on.
i really thought that the exposure of the wts's involvement would open the door for me to walk away from the wt without reprucussions, you know, a valid excuse so as to not be shunned.
(a pipe dream, i know) .
i thought the UN thing would be a really big deal - especially to some of my "lukewarm" friends. The one girl instantly started thinking up excuses for the WTS. It is very hard to get any points across to people who don't want to see it. I'm not disappointed though - at least I know the truth.

i have seen the term 'unconditional love' used often in reference to jws.
now, i understand the import: they love someone only on the condition that someone remains a jw "in good standing.
however, the term 'unconditional love' is proferred in a positive light.
my wife and I have this, but as for anyone else involved with my life, i'm not really sure....yet.

matthew 24:14 and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
(nwt).
im new to this board game, but i have been reading the submissions and replies from .
well, i'm still an active JW as of today, and I sincerely doubt I'll be affiliated w/ any organized religion once I leave. I have a really hard time accepting Paul's sexist writings, and I also question many things that are written in the bible. I'm not bent on the Watchtowers destruction, but I'd really like my friends and family to see that its just another religion - not the "truth". I try not to be bitter about things, but sometimes I cannot help myself.

i have a good freind here with me this evening.
(celtic, if you're around you know her - it's liane).
there is something that has always puzzled both of us.
the only "marking" that I know about happened to a guy that I grew up with. He sort of slept with a married girl but wouldn't admit it to the elder body, although there was circumstancial evidence. The way it was explained off of the stage was that he was bad news for now and then he'd be invited out socially or something and then it'd be ok. I also thought the society did this so as to avoid lawsuits, because if they df'd somebody w/out the person admitting to anything, they'd be f**ked. I could be wrong though. One thing I am certain of, however, is that this practice is not in the bible and was invented by the Watchtower Society.
