JWD a Dysfunctional Place?
by Victor_E inwith the recent blood baths we have seen in this forum it got me wondering of how you can objectively understand it and more importantly not let it affect you if you so choose.
what i write is not meant to be taken as gospel truth since there is no gospel truth nor is it my intention to get on my soap box since i left it when i walked out of the kingdom hall.
most of what i have to say is subjective based on personal experience and i feel no need or desire to debate anyone about anything i write.

An old man's childish small-scale rebellion
by TheOldHippie ini was a socialist / communist and a hippie before turning a witness, always looking out for chances to disrupt the harmony and tranquility, for putting sand in the machinery of the authorities.
was a "liberal" elder for 24 years, always thinking people's intentions and attempts were the main thing, not looking for faults or shortcomings.
but it always amused me when i could tell the co-elders they had handled things not in accordance with procedures, as i was very good at remembering things and loved it when i was able to point to incorrect dealings from the side of the "hardliners".. anyway, i resigned as an elder after 24 years half a year ago, in protest, after having written many and long letters and made sure my action was read and received by many; the issue was the extent of one's contact with disfellowshipped children, where i was not in agreement with official policy.

Dear Old Hippie,
I admire you for your courage. What you're doing can't be easy. I especially like:
when I give school talks on topics such as why we have changed beliefs at times, I use a couple of minutes to deal with the Pyramids, vaccinations etc., to show what was once taught;
- when someone asks for literature of which there are revisions, I ask them which issue they want, the one with the people of Sodom being resurrected or the one where ethey are not, the one with spanking children or the one with not etc.
That should get a few folks thinking. Good luck.

My illustration web site is finally done.
by seven006 inwith working on client's projects and playing on this board i finally squished in some time in to finish my site.
it isn't anything fancy with animations and shockwave magic shooting all over the place like i have done in the past.
it is simple, clean, and straight forward boring html.. the work is just a small portion of what i have done over the last year or so.

Birthdays & the Cult of the Diminished Indi...
by joelbear inyesterday was my birthday.
i got greetings from a number of friends from here in atlanta and also from people who had never met me from around the world since my birthday announcement was carried on a couple of the central bear pages on the internet.. there is clearly no prohibition against birthdays in the bible.
the reason the watchtower prohibits birthday celebrations is the same reason they discourage college, extracurricular activities in school, etc.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEL
Very good insight on Birthdays and loss of recognition of the individual. I never thought of it quite that way before.

I was an immature, depressed 22 year old. They were so nice and had the answers to every question I posed. They also promised me life on paradise earth. Hey, how could I refuse?
