15Who and what would you have been if not for the JWs..............
by fifi40 inabandoned got me thinking about this is an earlier post, when he said along the lines of 'he wished he had never had thw whole jw experience'.
i also remember reading recently on another thread how one poster said their creative talents were stifled.. so now i am pondering what life woulda/coulda been like...............had i not had jw parents................in my own case i was very bright at school and excelled in maths and english subjects, but i remember zero encouragement from my parents for all that i was acheiving, or to pursue any type of career.............so maybe i was destined to be a journalist, an accountant (or maybe not)........i always liked the thought of acting, but guess that is most kids dream and i was also drawn to my fathers vocation, that of training racehorses but being the fourth child and having three older brothers my dad didnt take this very seriously.
i also love doing old houses up and interior design, which whilst i have done for my own personal use never considered as a career...................and then there is the latent writer in me just bursting with a bestseller.. oh my!!

Wanted: Outrageous WT Qotes
by Gerard ini post regularly in an international web-based group regarding the sport i do.
one of the group members is a jw and always signs his posts with: "that people may know that you, whose name is jehovah, you alone are the most high over all the earth.
i kindly asked him three times to stop his preaching in our sports forum but he persists.

*** w52 11/15 p. 703 Questions from Readers *** Being limited by the laws of the worldly nation in which we live and also by the laws of God through Jesus Christ, we can take action against apostates only to a certain extent, that is, consistent with both sets of laws. The law of the land and God’s law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship. However, God’s law requires us to recognize their being disfellowshiped from his congregation, and this despite the fact that the law of the land in which we live requires us under some natural obligation to live with and have dealings with such apostates under the same roof.

How much have you changed since you left the JWs..........
by fifi40 inthe reason that i ask this question is for two reasons mainly.. firstly, my experience as a jw and within the various congregations i was part of, was that they were a very mixed bag.
there were those who were very devout, studious and appeared to be very humble and placid in nature.
there were those that were very judgemental of others.

Might this explain why it's hard for older Witnesses to question the truth?
by slimboyfat inhave you heard of that famous book the tipping point by malcolm gladwell?
well i thought i would have a go at his more recent book called blink which is about subconscious split-second decisions.
generally i would say it is an overrated if entertainingly written book.

Tomorrow is my Master's Defense (wish me luck)
by asleif_dufansdottir intomorrow at 2:45 arizona time i present/defend my master's research to basically the entire department (anthropology...all the 'sub-disciplines'...socio/cultural, physical and archaeology).
they've changed things a bit in the program so now all grad students who are completing their ma in any given year present on the same day in one big "ma-athon," so *everybody*...all the faculty and many of the students...will be there (defenses used to have a much smaller audience and rarely had people from more than your own sub-disc).. i'm not as nervous as i could be...i've done several different (smaller) presentations of my research both on campus at brown-bags and on-campus grad student conferences and at 2 national meetings, so i've had lots of practice.. the only bad thing is, out of a bunch of students the whole day, i'm the very.
here's to hoping they're ready to leave and *not* that, since there's nobody speaking after me, they can grill me for as long as they want .

if they had to sell a dog sh*t...here would be their approach...."friends from round the world have been praising dog sh*t....the moist yet firm consistency coupled with the brown/beige colour has been remarked upon favourably from all quarters...one sister who was fortunate enough to stand on one remarked..."it really complemented my shoe colour...and made me the centre of attention at the kingdom hall when I trampled it all over the newly laid carpet...prompting many comments from even the quietest of sisters"....while another brother said..."it really is a conversation starter"...it really is a tremendous conversational (s)tool!!!

BUT I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED IT......................
by Dansk inyou can go on and on but the fact is you can't prove it!
i only have your word for it that you had your experience.. and the books you cite don't help, either, because i've only got the author's word that he's telling the truth.
how can i believe him if i haven't experienced it myself?.

If science could let you live forever, would you take it?
by Paralipomenon inan ethical question for theists.
if science started to make some progress in extending our lifespan and eventually made a breakthrough that halted the aging process, even able to reverse it.
would you accept such a treatment, or allow yourself to grow old and die to take a chance at an afterlife.
