Once you leave the J-Dubs you have so much energy to assign to many new things like writing. Internet forums provide a nice audience for you to vent with and speak out with.
Writing poems or a book or whatever is a good thing.

For Those Raised in "Da Troof" Would Your Life Had Been Better If...
by XJW4EVR inyou had been raised by the same family, but in a different religion, or non-religious home?
i am not addressing birthdays or holidays.
i am thinking about everyday life.. the reason i ask, is that so much of our parents problems may have been caused, or enhanced by "da troof.

I think life would have been more peaceful, balanced, and liberating. Being raised in "Da Troof" was a living hell.

True Religion
by Nulite inin the march 2007 watchtower on religion, the writer mumbles on and on about the virtues of true religion.
the same was true in one of the tracts used in one of the more recent campaigns.
they did not however proclaim themselves the only true religion.. are the j-dubs no longer claiming to be the only true religion in public print?

I worked in a bethel home department and visited all those buildings regularly. I lived in two properties that already sold. Back in the mid 90's brooklyn bethel was bursting at the seams. Every sqare inch was occupied. Providing services to some of those small properties was a pain in the neck. The Standish Bldg has some of the strangest people in Brooklyn Hts living there. The buildings are well kept like the article mentioned.
When they say it's not about the money. It's about the money.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses a Dangerous Cult?

J-Dubs are only as dangerous as you allow. Can they take over your life? Yes. Can they cloud your reasoning? Yes. Are you held prisoner beyond pulling away like a runaway teenager? No.
If I were not born into this crap, I would not have stayed as long as I did. You feel so special for a long time. Then they keep f***ing with you. Then you wake up from the effects of the KooL Aid. Then you have know choice but to pull for the sake of sanity.

Do You Feel Like You Were "Screwed Over" By A Judicial Committee?
by minimus in.....or do you feel as though you "deserved" to be reproved or disfellowshipped?

Regarding the very obese sister we booted out the borg. It wasn't for being obese. She was shacking up with some male friend of hers and refused to make him move. Thinking back we could have let it go. It wasn't like she was active and all. I think not showing up was partly to blame on her being very obese.

Hey man I never was reproved or dissed... I did though sit on a number of cases in the past. I recall one very obese sister who refused to meet with us and we booted her out the borg. She told us where to go. She was right.
These cases are set up to favor those who know how to appear repentant and sorrowful. Although that does't always work.
When one examines confessions in the first century it was not handled by a committee of men. The Christians would openly confess their sins to one another. That was it. If a brother was a fornicator, he wouldn't receive a greeting. That was it. No committee.
You are better off carrying your sins to Jesus Christ and leaving them there. Men have no business dealing in sin.

advice on dealing with mom....please!!!!
by WANTMOMBACK inok, so here is the trouble--everytme something bad happens, esp.
a death, my mother will give whoever the unfortunate families who are greiving a book about being able to see your loved ones again.
this is wxtremely difficult for me b/c first of all some of these people are close to meand expect me to know what the hell she is talking about!

Your mom will never stop giving out books and tracts to families who have just lost loved ones. That is who she is. Have in mind, however what your own stand is. Have a permenant position regarding death and so on. Whatever your position is express it with some resolve. Tell your mother to keep her ideals to herself pertaining to you and your kids. There are no absolutes pertaining to any belief system. The sun will rise tomorrow regardless if you believe a certain way or not. Just form an opinion based upon your God given instincts and the knowledge you have gained to this point. You don't have to understand everything. Its o.k.

Did An Elder or "Brother" or "Sister" Ever Lose It With You???
by minimus insome persons are tempestous.
they may fly off the handle just like that!.
have you ever experienced a witness who just "lost it" with you??

Hell yea. More sisters than elders. The Dubs are so unhappy and mean. Just "waitin" for a reason to pop off. The elders are more evil and conniving. They want you to conform to the letter. Even towards fellow elders. Can't count the number of run-ins over the years.

You Believe in God? Who cares?
by proplog2 ini think this is a good thread to post feelings about the various evolution/creation and atheism/theism disputes on this discussion board.. i don't really care whether most people believe in god or not.
all i care about is that science keeps doing its job.
most theists are going to contribute almost nothing to the next stage of scientific progress.

God will always be a Great Mystery. The scriptures tell us we will never figure him out. Our parents never tell us everything about themselves. Things do evolve somewhat. I think God put forth creation with the ability to evolve to some parameters.
God made sexuality and chocolate so he cares. Plus he will probably will reverse time at somepoint in the future to get earth back on track---1000 year reign.
