no blood cards this year!
by DIM inlast night at meeting they told us to just use our blood cards from last year.
in the past they've always told us how important it was to get it signed every year so that people could see our current views as jw's.....doesn't this new arangement negate everything they've ever said in regards to this?
absolutely nuts!.

there is no evidence that anything to do with religion was the reason these things happened. there are bad people w/ in the JW's and good people. there are bad people who aren't JW's and good people.

Thoughts on Silent Lambs
by joelbear infirst i would like to make an apology to bill for my questioning his motives.
i do not have enough evidence to make a claim on this point.
i allowed emotion to weigh into this statement rather than clear thinking.. i will stand by my questioning of some of his judgements regarding disclosure of information and how it was presented, although i will temper that by saying that again i am working on limited data.. i try very hard to keep things from getting personal when i disagree with someone's ideas, feeling or thoughts.. in reviewing my posts to him i have determined that i failed to do that on this issue.. joel

Where were you when you first came here?
by Xena ini noticed in a couple of threads people discussing the impact this board would have on jw's with doubts coming here and reading the messages.
it got me to wondering where most people that post here were at...what stage in their jw/ex jw process...when they started reading and/or posting here.
also curious, when you did come here what was your main focus?

active JW when I first came on, but i've had doubts for years...I used to post on H2O as "disko". I'm still an active JW although I don't go out in service anymore. Starting the slow fade next month...

Question Re The UN and The R & F.
by Englishman inis it common knowledge amongst the jw's about the wt being an ngo that was linked to the united nations?.
or is this information just in the hands of a few elders?
i'm intrigued as to whether this information about the un has begun to trickle through to the r & f yet, and i'm also wondering if publishers will have a ready made answer (other than a library ticket)should they be confronted with this objection during the door to door work.. englishman.. bring on the dancing girls!

my mom laughed at me when I told her about it yesterday. i told her to call the UN and she said she wouldn't believe them. so i told her to call her circuit overseer or call the WTS. we'll see what happens. it is a total cover up.

Okay Fess Up: What's Your Handle Mean?
by Mindchild inokay fess up: whats your handle mean?.
my handle: mindchild comes from computer scientist and futurist dr. hans moravec: who wrote the book, the future of robot and human intelligence which is a book about when we will be able to construct machines capable of human intelligence and raises the possibility of uploading ourselves (every thought we ever had) into an android body much superior to the human ones we have now.
i entertain the hope that not only will i live long enough to see this happen, i will transfer myself (the complete essence of what is me) into a body of my own choosing and become immortal if i so choose.

ransom sacrifice question
by DIM inlast night in a very very heated conversation with my mother, i explained to her that the wts teaches that the great crowd (non annointed) only feel the affects of the ransom sacrifice but that jesus died for the annointed or something along those lines.
she didn't believe me (she's been a witness for 22 years) and i have no idea where this is explained in the old watchtowers or whatever.
any help would be appreciated!

QUESTION: will the WTS ever fall? if so, how?
by badwillie inmaybe some of you who have been out for many years can answer this.. do you think that the flow of people leaving the borg has been increasing?
and do you think that we will ever live to see their complete downfall?
if you do think this is a likely scenario, how do you see it unfolding?.

I think it is possible because there are so many glaring problems within the doctrines taught and cover ups (the two versions of the truth book, the two versions of the Live Forever book, the book that reads like an acid trip, The Divine Plan of the Ages...) that people are getting sick of it. My wife and I are basically giving up our families (except for my mother in law who doesn't really believe it but goes w/ the flow) to get out. And we are only 24 and 22. I think it is possible that it will fall within the next 10 to 20 years. Then again, maybe not.

Elders-Desire To Assist Others?
by Mister Biggs init is said of jw elders that they "can provide protection by listening attentively to his problem, offering bible-based counsel, and giving encouragement or practical help.
like their appointed king, christ jesus, they want to help those who have been 'thrown about.
' (matthew 9:36) and they desire to assist others who have been damaged by the winds of false teaching.
