If you had to, what religion would you choose to be?
by Crumpet inyou can answer this as seriously (lt) or as inanely (buttlight) as you like!
i was reflecting having read someone's thread about blowing off non jw family that actually it would have been so much better if i had a larger family, preferably not completely jw saturated and this random train of thought led me to thinking that if i could choose i would be catholic, because then i would have a huge family, go to really nice gothic churches with lots of candles and tortured saints and be able to go to confession (instead of lt's mobile).
also the colours of the whore of babylon always were a lot more enticing to me than the mild blues and undistracting beiges of the khs.. i think we all have religions which would suit our personalities so much better.

Why not just leave religion alone altogether?
by dawg ini was wondering why many of you turn to to other religions after being freed from the foolishness of the jw's?
after i relieved myself of the burden of the foolish witnesses, i was able to understand god in my own fashion and i've never felt better.
many religions pratice mind control similar to the wittnesses so why not free yourselves from all of them?

Seems to me that JC just hung out with his friends, did a little traveling, went to a few parties, drank a little wine & bread, liked to go fishing on occasion, offered uptight people a dose of reality, helped the poor, healed everyone who was sick and gave his life for his friends, so they could continue his lifestyle forever. I choose relationship over religion to be my "religion".
I would be a Perry Witnesse!!

THE HAPPY FACTOR
by Dogpatch inhere's a question that i haven't seen addressed directly:.
why are there many witnesses who enjoy the organization immensely?.
no matter what you tell them, they would not dream of leaving.

I totaly agree with jam. I was raised in the "truth" and I was trying to be happy but I could'nt fight what I am. It's not that sweet for all the guys. I hated the fact I always had to prove myself and be an example. I felt sick to my stomach wen I had to pass the microphones or wen I had to give a talk. I always felt guilty that I did not enjoy the "privileges" I was given.

Watchtower increases pace of accelerated change
by truthseeker init's not even april yet, and the watchtower society is revving up it's change at an alarming pace.. this year, the changes have all been big.. first, they announce that there will be two editions of the watchtower - a private edition for members only with only the study articles in and a public edition with no articles.
the 24 elders may be involved in communicating divine truths to the governing body.
the long held teaching that 1935 is the cutoff date for selection and gathering of the anointed has gone the way of the 1914 generation change in a convenient "questions from readers" article.. you cannot wear casual clothes after the convention, even if going out to eat.. .

I wish they'd change the ASSemblies- where most of the 'Speakers' are just parrots reading their little manuscripts! I don't go to them anymore!
That is a good start, mad. Agape!

If the bible is from God then explain this!
by Anti-Christ innu 31:17-18 moses, following the lord's command, orders the israelites to kill all the midianite male children and "... every woman who has known man ...." (note: how would it be determined which women had known men?
one can only speculate.
dt 21:10-13 with the lord's approval, the israelites are allowed to take "beautiful women" from the enemy camp to be their captive wives.

Extrodinary claims require extrodinary evidence. If Advertisers can come up with compelling enough language so as not to leave people confused as to their meaning and intent, How much more so the Omniscient, Omnipotent God of Christianity?
Exactly my point! If the bible is really from the most intellengent, wise and loving being in the univers, by reading it I should be convinced not more confused. I should'nt have to defend or find ways to explain or rationalize things in it that don't make any sense. I don't think that it has to do with people not wanting to beleave in it but the other way around.

Reminds me of something that hapened a few years back when I was comming back from a year of inactivity. The C.O. was viseting our cong. and he wanted to go out in F.S. with me. He ask me why I went inactive, I told him that it's because the way the org. was structured it made me think of how the army fonctions, we all had uniforms, titles and had to follow orders from the "generals". I really freaked him out. He said that he never saw it that way and that I sort of had a point. A few months later I droped out for good.
