i've noticed a healthy number of secular humanists on jwd.. i thought i'd share this info.
http://www.naturalism.org/.
before the likes of people like poppers, james thomas, and tetra(people i have tremendous respect and admiration for that have taught me alot about existence) jump me for getting into "labels", i just want to mention that i'm not espousing this as "it".
This is really cool stuff. Nvr, Thanx!

the practice of choosing biblical names for children is present in many forms of christianity.
in latin america, countless boys are named jesus either as a first name or second name.
there is even that singer jesus jones.
My cousins in PA are named Matthew, Mark, Luke and Jane.
I have a cat named Samson (should be Methuzela) and his sister name was Delilah. My avatar is a pic of Samson. He's 17 years and 8 months old.

i was just reading a thread about the new 'exciting' format for the watchtower and how there will be a jw only edition.
add to this what i believe is the new rule that da'd and df'd people are not allowed to receive the magazines unless they attend meetings.
this all got me thinking.... .
I look forward to Blondie's 'comments you will not hear' every week. Thank you Blondie! It looks like you will still be receiving the garbage "food" at the proper time come January 08. Keep up the great work.

recently, a former witness expressed his opinion to me that he knew more than a few witnesses that were gay.personally, i know of a bisexual ex-elder who was unhappily married for a few years.
now he's "out", pardon the pun, of the organization.
i know of a newly appointed ms who is married to a sister but most people suspect he is gay.
Why do you ask you handsome red dot, you.

warning: don't read this if you are easily depressed!.
here's how it is for me right now - no frills:.
its pants, sh*t, black, doom, gloom and don't spare the melancholy (pronounced mel-ankley if you are me).. what's brought this on?
Hi Crumpet,
I don't really have anything to add to all this great advice. Just want to let you know that I am sorry you're feeling down. You'll be fine, you are one terrific lady! BIG HUG ! BIG KISS !

i received an email from a lawyer who has been studying with witnesses for some time.
he wanted to know my story, if i am disfellowshipped and if i have an axe to grind, in order to know if the information at jwfacts.com can be trusted.
i was raised a jw, my aunty and uncle, many cousins and grandparents are jws.
Thank you, jwfacts for your story. I too did not realize how "new to the world" you are. I really enjoy your web-site and you have helped me a great deal.
Thanks again.

i think it's pretty simple.
jws will never completely die out.
because there are always going to be people who stay in a rut, don't like to adjust, are lazy.
I think they will go out of business but some other sort of organization will take it's place. There's a sucker born every minute.

do we sometimes suffer from literal-mindedness?.
is there a cure?.
I have not been down on my knees in quite a while now. Not even in church come to think of it.
