  there's a site called spokeo.com that's a new online usa phone book w/personal information: everything from pics you've posted on fb or web, approx credit score, home value, income, age.

  you can remove yourself by searching for yourself on their site to find the url of your page, then go to the bottom of the page and click on the privacy button to remove yourself.. i checked it out.

  they have a picture of my home.

  You can remove your listing by searching for yourself on spokeo.com and then copy the URL if you are listed. Then go to the bottom of the page and hit the privacy link...when that page comes up, paste in your URL and it will remove it from the search database. It won't remove the info about you that is out there on third party databases, but you won't register on a search on spokeo.com.

  part 1 - my parents.

  it's a funny thing, time.

  notwithstanding einstein's relativity, time means vastly different things throughout life.

  Interesting...her bio says she spends her free time working on charities such as Children's AID Society and Irish dancing...not very compatible with Theocratic pursuits.

  Introduction

  by dontplaceliterature in

  2. beliefs

  before i begin my introductory post, i would like to mention that a number of my initial comments here may be viewed by several of you as watchtower apologist or as sympathetic to the views of the jehovahs witnesses.

  the last thing i want to do is incite a flame war regarding my legitimacy or intentions in joining this forum.

  mostly, i would describe myself as on the fence.

  Welcome and thank you for an excellent first post! I will echo what several of the previous posters have said and encourage you to finish "Crisis of Conscience". I would also recommend you read "In Search of Christian Freedom", Ray Franz's follow up book. I would very much look forward to hearing your thoughts on things after completing your readings.

  Keep on posting!

  Look at this funny cartoon spoof of the WT study -- Tell me what you think?

  by MarkedFragile in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this clip is one of many cartoon spoofs of life in jw world.

  this particular one is a cartoon play on the wt study.

  one of my favorite parts is where the man is flipping pages in the bible, trying to find the scripture being read, and when he finds it, the person is already done reading it (which always used to happen)!

  One year ago today......

  by confuzzled777 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  at this very moment one year ago today my dh and i were in an "interview" with 2 elders in regards to a night out in late november 2009. that "interview" turned into my judicial committee with a 3rd elder who just happened to be at the hall that night........because of admitting to having been drunk on occassion over the years with the most recent being 2 years prior.

  the "interview/impromtu judicial committee lasted almost 3 hours as they tried to convince me that i had stabbed jah and asked what i was going to do to correct my drinking habits.

  i am not a huge drinker......just like to drink socially with friends once in a while.

  Hi confuzzled...pardon my being dense, but what does DH stand for? Sounds rather strange that they would DF you over something that wasn't a "habit"...especially something that happened 2 years prior! Did you show repentance in your JC? Have you tried to get reinstated? Personally, being DF'ed worked out for me...hopefully, you can get past the feelings and start to live your life with happiness.

  "The Case for Christ"

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  people who leave the wts have to decide what to do with jesus and the bible.. for an interesting read defending the bible's accounts of jesus from an evangelical perspective, i recommend lee strobel's 1998 book the case for christ.. strobel is a former atheist who used to be a journalist for the chicago tribune.. he later become a protestant pastor.. no, i don't get any money from sales of the book; in fact, you can probably get a copy free through your local library system.. in order to help you decide whether or not you'd be interested in this book, here are the titles of the chapters:.

  part 1: examining the record.

  chapter 1: the eyewitness evidence: can the biographies of jesus be trusted?.

  Does Jehovah Answer Prayers?

  by Spade in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  people here have a fundamentally different opinion of what identifies a religion as true or false.

  most people leave christendom's churches because their prayers go unanswered and there's no evidence that god intervenes in their personal lives.

  something that's never discussed here.

  To paraphrase a well known response to that question, "sometimes the answer is no!"
