at first it's exciting to meet posting milestones.
after a while you look at that vast, accruing number and place your tongue in your cheek.

The Mr. T video has a slash at the end of the link. If this site uses HTML, I'll give a crack at it.

Personally, I thought it was kinda funny.

Growing up JW
by startingover ingrowing up a jw, i was well aware that a lot of people didn't care for my religion, especially growing up in a strong catholic community in the 60's.
my being a jw wasn't something i advertised, especially in my school days.
but that feeling was always there, that i was someone, who because of my religion, was disliked, even hated.. i sit here thinking what it would have been like to have grown up without those feelings.

I'm 17.
But I didn't really do any 'research' in the way you're thinking.
I have a general love for science. I've read science stuff since I could...well, read.
I dabbled around with evolution, understood its concept, and never gave it a thought. I accepted that the entire scientific community accepted it as fact. Then I did some deep research on it, and found out it makes perfect sense.
And the JW magazine's explainations were absolutely horrid. There was nothing in it that could convince a scientist to rethink evolution. It, in fact gives the "odds" of evolution at occuring at something like 17 trillion to one. Which, if you think about it, is a garuntee, several times over.
*science junk follows*
Factor in all the 'primordial puddles' the earth could contain. Factor in that there are 3 'possible' planets that life could evolve in our solar system (and a couple promising moons ;) ). And that there are untold amounts of stars, each capable of sustaining planets (planets are being discovered at a rate not thought possible years ago), and then multiply your findings by the number of galaxies, which have yet to be counted.

DNA For Dummies
by Farkel indna for dummies.
it would be remiss of me to not state that i know absolutely nothing about dna, except that the abbreviation points to a collection of words that no one can pronounce: it means something like "deoxygenated ribo-rabid-nucleaic acid trip", or something like that.
i first heard about dna in 1964 in a high school biology class and promptly went comotose.

That's a good representation of early evolution theory. Close enough, at least.
But one flaw: Women ARE better than men, and it's all men's fault :P .
At least, as far as my knowledge of early evolution goes... -

Planting seeds of doubt
by Anony-Mouse inlike the bible scripture, i will plant the seeds, and curiosity (not god) will make it grow.
or something similar.
i've tried it, but none of my comments seem to make people think.

Alright, some advice to me is to plant the seeds of doubt.
Like the bible scripture, I will plant the seeds, and curiosity (not god) will make it grow. Or something similar.
But I don't know what to do. I've tried it, but none of my comments seem to make people think. It's a lot of "Gee wiz, them meetins' are so boring."
Since many of you may have gone through this, what is your advice for 'planting the seeds of doubt'? -

Youths leaving...
by Anony-Mouse inalright, i have a few questions about the 'young ones'.
i've heard that the rate at which younger kids are leaving has increased.
is this true?

I'm not sure if they're "true freinds", willing to go all out for me.
I certainly would for them, which is why I want them to know what I know so bad.
I think the advice "be yourself" is the best I can follow.
And I can tell you why I'm so worked up about all this. I didn't have any good freinds for many years. I was homeschooled, and our congregation was lacking people my age. But now we're in a new congregation, with lots of people my age. I decided I was going to make freinds, so I did.
For the first time in many years, I have FRIENDS. I can forget about how terrible it is to be alone.
Ultimately, it IS all thier choice. I can only lay out the facts.
It's just hard for me to do that, because I want them all OUT. I can't help but invision that they're on thier death bed, the watchtower recently disbanded, wishing their WHOLE LIVES weren't wasted...And that maybe, if I had just tried harder...
Anyways, "Mind off the future, Mind on the present!" I can't help but look ahead, it's a major fault of mine.
Right now, I have something worth living for. -

Alright, I have a few questions about the 'young ones'.
I've heard that the rate at which younger kids are leaving has increased. Is this true? And why is this happening?
I myself am considered young (I'm old on the inside). I've recently made a lot of freinds. Good freinds, that I care a lot about.
Since I'm turning 18 in a year, I'm worried about them. And worried about possibly leaving them. What should I do? I don't know if I should leave them be, and run off. Or if I should convince them to leave with me, or what.
For instance, one of my freinds is kind of like I was a few years ago. I believed it, but I had doubts. She believes it more than I did, but she's a bit more 'radical' than I was. Her choice in clothes and music, while normal, are not exactly up to "JW standard". And she lacks the science craving personality I have.
The big problem I have with her is this: What if I do convince her to leave? Her entire family is in it. They might hate her. She's really close to her family, I don't want her to suffer with that. Do I even want to try to convince her?
That, and I don't even know where to get freinds outside of school and KH. I've discovered that I'm apparently a nice person, and everybody loves my personality, but I lack the outside experience. I've been homeschooled for just about my whole life. -

SCAN OF WT ARTICLE ON WIVES.....
by Mary insome of you asked for a scan of the february 15, 2007 wt study on wives being in subjection.
i forgot to mention, the one paragraph stresses that not only are you a second class citizen in the marriage, but women are also to "obey" the numbnuts in the congregation, even if you've got a higher iq:.

Everytime I read this stuff, I get sick.
It makes me happy that, even though I was raised in this garbage, my own moral code came from me, not some outdated controlling view. Women are more important than men from a statistical viewpoint. They can HAVE CHILDREN. That contribution alone is more than a herd of men can make. Men have a very small part in the whole process.
Hurray for women :D !
