Did we take nothing good from the JW's?
by kenpodragon inrecently on another location online, someone told me my thoughts sound like something from a watchtower or awake.
they said, i come off in the same manner and use illustrations to speak.
it was also mentioned that i come off as an elder at times, and sound very authoritarian in my manner.

Very good post dragon.
I can honestly say that those skills have help my career A LOT... I am able to do presentations and trainings without fear and knowing I can do this... AND... I also have to agree with ThiChi and ORBIT!!!! lol

RAY FRANZ--You Are Appreciated Very Much!!!
by minimus inafter coming home to read what has happened today on this board, i would just like to say that no matter what differences anyone has ever had with ray franz, i, for one appreciate what he has done for me.
ray has helped more people to look at their spirituality over the last 2 decades.
he is not perfect, but he has been a voice of reason and a man of integrity.

My admiration goes to people that have the courage to stand up for what they believe AND are willing to accept criticism and are man/woman enough to accept their mistakes when they're wrong. To Ray, To Bill and to ALL of you here that have done exactly that I take my hat off for you.

Would You Now Feel Uncomfortable Taking Blood?
by minimus innow that you know about the truth of the blood doctrine, would you feel, even a little bit uncomfortable agreeing to take a blood transfusion?
btw, my mother asked me if i would still honor her wishes for refusal of blood.
i told her that even though my view has changed, i would respect her decision, even if i felt that it was wrong.

I agree with Beck and Bittersweet
I would have to say that I would only accept blood if it was life or death situation

by qwerty inthis may have been a topic before on the board.
it would be suprising if anyone else as not thought of this.. with regards to the 5 governing body members who have been named as child abusers.

i was raised a catholic, still catholic, and have never heard a good reason why some people dislike catholicism.

About Coqui's thread...
by els ini have been following coqui's posts about being df'd or da'd without a judicial comittee meeting or a letter of disassociation.
if you want you can read my profile to get a little history, but my current situation is that i haven't heard from my family since the end of june.
that was when i told them i supported my son in joining the army and that i had no intention of ever being a witness again.

Newbie alert!
by pharisee ini'm new here, and would just like to thank simon and people like him (franz for one) who have helped others, through various forms of media, to make thier own educated descisions on how to deal with all the jw issues in their lives.
when i was growing up in a jw family, we never had the opportunity to get "second opinions" on any doubts we had from any source.. luckly, with resources such as this website, and others like it, i have been able to make one of the most important discisions in my life, and that is how to bring up my kids spiritually and mentally?
i had to be 100% sure, in my mind, that i was doing the right thing.. i hope others who we all know that are searching for thier "answers" will be as fortunate as many of us here.
