Someone might have already mentioned this but:
Church is in the Bible, but as far as I know "Kingdom Hall" is not.
Funny how the dubs have demonized the word "church".
i'd like to compile a list for my next blog, but i would love some help.
they can refer to any religion you like.
here's a start:.

what did you think you would be doing in the paradise?
like after all the garbage was picked up and the 2nd dead were buried?
i thought i would get a house with a creek running through it and play with animals.
I can't remember, but were we supposed to return to our unashamed nekidness?
actually, i'm new to the whole forum thing in general.
i guess i should say something about myself...
i'm 23, born and raised in the organization.
"Say Vandalay!...say Vandalay! Good to see a Seinfeld fan on here.
far from following the u.s.' lead, britain appears to be way ahead of the pack in spying on its own people.. brothers, is this all true?
how far will we, the masses, let this sort of thing go?
americans, if this sort of thing is allowed, and works, where do you think it will go next?.
just wondering if anyone else had the collection of kingdom melodies on tape or cd and if you ever listened to them?i ordered the whole set of 9 cds 2 yrs ago and donated over 100.00 for them!
!was just thinking i could have bought a nice winter coat with that!i used to play them at home all the time, even in the car or when we had the group meeting at our house.i used to love one particular song cos it had a full orchestra and would play it over and over again.some of them were pretty cheesy though - one song was sung in opera style but not the words she she 'ahd' it all the way through - horrible!was anyone else as sad as me and did you actually pay for them?i regret it now cos they're all in the attic and can't bear to use them ever again..
When I left they just had tapes. Never bought any but I think my parents had some. I wonder, did they ever came on vinyl? I would like to try and play them backwards. ..."let's watch how we walk and watch how we talk"
ok, here's a hypothetical that i'm curious about.. what if armageddon really did happen?
not necessarily according to jw terms or timetable, but at some point it happens in your lifetime.
would any of you return to the jws?.
Ok. I try to be more clear.
I believe in Christ. That he died for me and in Him and only Him I am made righteous. So I also believe that the Bible is the ispired word of God. Therefore, I do believe in His imminent return one day. Who knows when?....only the Father. -this is my personal opinion anyways.
So I guess this hypothetical question is to those who are agnostic or atheist.

Sorry, if this is over-done.
....but, yes, I agree with u Daystar.
Personally, I would not go back. I have different beliefs now.
Yet, I know that there are many on here that disagree with 95% of the dubs belief. But if the apocalypse was obvious to many and truly in motion, not just a one-time disaster, just wondering who might go back.

i was just wondering, how many dfed to we have on here compared to da or faders??
?
I was going to be DF'ed, so I beat 'em to the punch. I am DA'ed.
in the dec 1 wt first article on antichrists they state "adding to the confusion,many bible translators have taken god's name,jehovah,out of there translations,even though it occurs over 7,000 time in the original text!".
i am curious since the name jehovah is a recent invention or corruption which original texts could possibly contain this name 7,000 times?
it seems to me like they are trying to blow a lot of hot air at the faithful.. it also seemed to me that they were trying to draw a firmer link between "apostates" and the antichrist.
I couldn't remember the dub teaching on this so a couple years back I scored a revelation book. There was only one paragraph in the entire book that descripes what the antichrist is. If my memory serves me right is went something like this:
"The antichrist system" can be identified by any government or religious system that forces everyone to celebrate holidays.
AAHHH! NOOOooooooo! anything but that!
