Raymond Franz is back in WTS ?
by Ancientofdays ina friend of mine (still an active jw) is quite sure that r.franz is back into wts.
from his point of view, an evidence is that he never published the 2nd part of isocf, even if it was announced in the first isocf.
i'm quite sure this is a nonsense , but you may help me with some information.

At This Point, Would You Care If You Are or Were Disfellowshipped???
by minimus inat this stage of "coming out" of the "truth", would it faze you if you were disfellowshipped?

They have no control over my life, at this point. The answer would be no. Aside from perhaps loosing one good friend, (and yes, that would hurt), I would welcome officially being known as no longer a jw.

Nobody is going to bite your head off and if somone does disagree with you (and there always is one) they are very polite about it here. I would be totally shocked if I ever posted a thread and everyone agreed with me. That's when it would get very boring.
That's the beautiful thing with being out of the Borg, isn't it? We are actually ALLOWED to disagree, and it actually makes life INTERESTING...
Happy Friday!

Remember congregation summer picnics? (and other ramblings)
by WingCommander ina thread on the last page made me remember something from my early childhood.
remember congregation picnics and other outings?
i remember when i was little, probably only 4 - 5 years old; there was a huge congregation picnic at a park with food, games, etc.

No "congregation" picnics any more. It seemed like the congregation elders were sponsoring them and the did not want to be held responsible for any "judicial" incidents or injuries. An individual had to sponsor it. Some congregations said that only one or book study groups could get together.
I remember when they changed this, Blondie. For a while they still announced them at the TMS anyway, they just called it the "Friends of Brother and Sister so and so" picnic. Sounds really stupid to me now.

In this order:
1. Teaching that only JWs have "The Truth".
2. Disfellowshipping, (and all JC bullshit).
3. Blood.

Believer, Agnostic or Atheist?
by lfcviking ini am curious, what amount people on this board from their experiences of being a baptised & active jw and their subsequent exit from the jw org (for whatever reason or reasons) are now either agnostic, atheist or do some actually still believe in god?.
your honest answers please.. lfcv.

Atheist - as in the actual definition of the word, not what most people think it means. A - theist as oppossed to theist. In other words, opposite of theist. I don't have a belief in a specific god, therefore I am an atheist by definition. That does not mean I don't believe that a god can exist.
What LDB said. (In spite of Mr. Dawkins).
btw: I do like Dawkins work.

How Often Do You Come To JWD During A Day, Week or Month??? Hours or Mins?
by minimus ini used to be here a real lot.

per day and read a few other threads that interest me.

It really depends largely on my work schedule. If I'm working from the home office, or in the airport, (like I am now), It is quite easy to post several times a day. There are other weeks, where I'm working out of town at a customer site, and the chances are few and far between.

Is recovery possible?
by gcc2k inhi guys.
i haven't posted here in a year or so, perhaps more.
i'm not sure what i want to say, and i'm not sure that i want to put it down, since the more info you give here, the easier it is to be spotted.

However, I've found that it will tend to swing back the other way again and center a bit more in a balanced center.
What Daystar said. But PATIENCE is important here.

I'm surprised they don't come up with recommended restaurant lists too.
Just don't forget to wear your lapel card when eating at the restaurant. Did anyone actually DO this???
