ALL JW's to be at the meeting this week...
by Newly Enlightened in.
we asked this person if it could be aqbout the terminology change and they said that was already read last week...... we remember the last time they did this.
got everyone all excited thinking the big "a" was coming and all it was about, was the literature would now be donated instead of charging for it.. .

Jehovah's Witnesses Say They Are The Most Educated In The World. How Would You Prove Otherwise?
by minimus inthey claim their schools, literature and teaching are far more superior than any "worldly" education.
how would you counter that belief?.

To a JW, being educated means having the best understanding of the bible as interpreted by the WTBTS. It's the only thing that's meaningful and worthwhile to them. So they are the best educated only if they are allowed to set the standard for "education" for everyone.

For one thing, handling your snake is frowned upon if you're a JW.

How do JWs Not see how barbaric YHWH is? Its what started my awakening.
by BU2B inif one reads genesis from the first chapter through the end with an open mind, it is clear that not only is it not true, but that god is potrayed as a cruel, petty, childish micromanaging tyrant.
if one continues reading the ot this is just further solidified.
how do jws not see the obvious?

It was the Old Testament that first got me thinking, as well. The WT's literal interpretation of the flood story was something I could never fully get behind, even when I was a fully believing JW. And God punishing David for murder and adultery by killing his infant son never sat well with me, either.
It was my doubts about the bible, and God himself, that made me open to researching the JW religion, specifically. Looking back, now, it's hard for me to believe that I was able to swallow any of it for as long as I did.

Leaving the JW's and Joining Another Cult...
by God_Delusion inhi guys and gals,.
if there's one thing that winds me up something rotten, it's a former jw telling me to "use critical thinking" to see that what the bible says is actually acurate.. arggggh!.
i've vented my frustrations in my article.

Some people are only capable of critical thinking as it pertains to WT doctrine. They are able to discern flaws in the WT's interpretation of the bible, but not in the bible itself.

At what point did you destroy your Blood card?
by BU2B ini know for me it was soon after lurking here for awhile and reading some threads on the issue.
i remenber when i tore it into little tiny pieces.
it felt so liberating..

I don't remember actually destroying it, or throwing it away. I just remember not carrying it in my wallet the last couple of years I was still attending. I had left mentally long before. And even when I still believed, I had serious doubts about their blood policy.

If the world was different- A world ruled by women.
by fulltimestudent inthis 10 minute video follows a man and his problems as he attempts to deal with women in authority, much as a woman may experience in our own society.. maybe not a real stretch for the imagination.
there have been some matriachal soceities in history.

Wow, I didn't realize there were so many women haters on this forum
I didn't realize that having the audacity to point out that women are as capable of being corrupted by power as men made someone a "woman hater". Sorry, but I've seen a lot more man-hating on this thread, and on this forum in general.

Were You Ever Comfortable Going From House To House?
by minimus inbecause i was raised a witness, i don't think i was "uncomfortable" knocking on strangers' doors.
(weirdo).. but as i got older, i simply didn't want to bother anyone so i was at there door for no more than 30 seconds.
at the end i hated being there..

Never, not even when I pioneered. I got to the point, at the end, when I couldn't even speak at the door. I just went along for the ride.

Years ago the Society filed a Friends of the Court Brief with the Hare Khrisna to allow Airport witnessing
Didn't they also file a brief with the Supreme Court during the Jimmy Swaggart case? It's not unprecedented for them to do so, though, as a rule, they try to distance themselves from other religions as much as possible.

I just started getting the shot a few years ago, and have never had a reaction to it. I can't speak to how effective it is, because I've only had the flu once in my life, as a kid. I get the shot mainly because it's offered for free at work.
