Hi Eph,
Just wanted to say Welcome to the board!
Sorry, I don't believe in the Bible, Jehovah, or Jesus anymore. Just myth, so I can't be of much help. It's all smelly-stuff to me.
yes it has always put a question in my mind.
why the two different classes?
jesus did not teach two different classes of belivers.

this morning, i went outside for a smoke, and lo and behold, down the street i saw 2 dubs just starting their door-to-door work.
it was an older dub brother i used to know from my old congregation, and an unidentifiable sister.
i knew that they would not be good candidates for the current un/ngo discussion, as he is a dub who really doesn't get it.
: I wrote on the note:: "ATTENTION JW's: DF'd, EVIL APOSTATES LIVE HERE. DON'T KNOCK."
COWARD!!!

Did I say that "God" knows what he can do with it? Well, er...I meant... FARKEL KNOWS WHAT HE CAN DO WITH IT!!!
I LOVE YA' MAN!

I knew that they would NOT be good candidates for the current UN/NGO discussion, as he is a Dub who REALLY doesn't get it. So I decided to put a note on the door instead (because I really didn't want to bother with them).
I wrote on the note:
"ATTENTION JW's: DF'd, EVIL APOSTATES LIVE HERE. DON'T KNOCK."
Well, I watched as the brother walked up to the door, saw the note, looked up at the house number, re-read the note, looked up at the house number again, and then turned around and walked to the driveway.
He paused for a moment, then left the current mags under the windshield wiper on my van. I guess he just couldn't resist the urge. After all, he gets to count 2 mags, and you never know: Maybe one day I will turn around from my evil God-cursing ways, and get reinstated, but I wouldn't hold your breath. God still knows what he can do with it.

if most of you were jw's at one time, am i right in assuming that most of you are uneducated?
anyone here actually have a degree of some sort?
Frightmare,
I see you must have really proofread and corrected your usual typos.
What kind of education do you have? A degree in "prick"?
You really are a frigging moron.

mymailmum,
Just as sure as I believe Jehovah God, the most powerful Loving Creator that He is, will do something about pedophiles, your arrogant self will have an accounting with Him also...that is for sure!
Your god has HAD an accounting with ME and has been found guilty of crimes against humanity.
You just don't get it, do you? YOUR GOD EXISTS ONLY IN YOUR MIND. Get rid of the "God-Crutch" and accept personal responsibility for where you are. Do something to leave the world a better place than you found it. Do something for humanity. (And please don't confuse door knocking with service to humanity).
I sincerely hope that one day you do "get it," that is, wise up to the fallacy that you believe. It simply does not hold up under scrutiny.
My best,
FP

To mymailmum,
I just wanted to say how strong you are for holding fast to the Truth. You are an excellent example of the Society's expertise in TOTAL BRAINWASHING. I know. I was there once too.
Your reply to Think41Self above is rampant with the typical WTS circular reasoning, and TOTAL NONSENSE.
I just wanted to comment on a couple of things you wrote:
I would definitely direct my anger to where the source of the problem started which would be Satan, NOT JEHOVAH.
Quite to the contrary, Jehovah IS the source of the problem. There is a principle from business that applies here also: "What management permits, management condones."
Jehovah allegedly has the power to stop or prevent the suffering of humanity, but doesn't. This makes Jehovah MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE for crimes against humanity.
Jehovah does not leave us with no way out. He will make it so that the person who did this horrendous act of depravity will reap what he has sown.
Are you kidding? What way out does the 5-year-old little girl have? How do you explain the child who is molested by a family member for many, many years? Where was your god then? You talk as if punishment to the molester somehow makes all it okay in the end. It most certainly does not.
we need Jehovah’s Spirit ,his powerful force to make us strong enough to understand why he allows wicked things to happen to us,for a time. On our own, we could NEVER begin to understand without his spirit,
Envision a scene: A parent stands on the sidelines while his son or daughter is raped by another person, or even a family member. The parent watches, but does nothing to help their child. How do you think the child would feel toward that parent who failed them in their greatest time of need?
Then to say that "the child should go to the parent and seek to understand the great wisdom of why the parent stood by, and failed to help their child" is the sickest, most perverted sort of non-reason I can imagine. You, your god, and your religion are truly sick; mentally ill.
Jehovah is not one to be mocked.
I feel sorry for you, for you are COMPLETELY DECEIVED.
AND NOW FOR SOME SHOCK VALUE:
Respond to this: You can fuck your god Jehovah, and fuck your religion.
If Armageddon does come (and it most assuredly WILL NOT), I will go down with my middle finger raised, and the words "Fuck You!" on my lips—all addressed to your god. In fact, Jehovah can kiss my Royal, White, American, Non-JW ASS. (you don't think I have any unresolved anger, do you?)
Have I mocked Him yet? Good.
Your god has a lot of answering to do for crimes against humanity. (All instances of "god" not capitalized intentionally).
Thank you very much, have a nice day.

being a sociable sort of animal i enjoy the cut and thrust of lively pub banter in the mid-evening.
however, there are only about 3 or 4 of us who take part in on-line discussion forums such as this.. time and again, because it is known that i take part in this forum, i am asked the same sort of question: .
"do americans in general realise that the uk is totally 100% behind them in this present crisis, not just the politicians, but the grass roots of the country, do they know that we feel outraged at the wtc attack, as outraged as if it had been on london?".
Hey Englishman,
My son and I have had many discussions about the world in general, and about Great Britain, and how our countries have always been allies. I have often told him how England has been our best friend, and have noticed a tear in his eye because he was so proud and moved by this fact. He is proud of America and Britain, as am I.
We thank all of you for your continued support and friendship!

sites on the internet when i did a search for jehovahs witnesses on google.

Hi Finnrot, welcome to the board!
I enjoyed reading your experience. I also grew up as a JDub, and I too was the "geek" who never fit in at school.
My story is on my website (link below) if you are interested. There are many other stories in the Personal Experiences portion of this board, but you've probably been there already.
I look forward to reading your posts.

tonight, my wife tracy (think41self) and i were talking about president bush's address to the nation.
i was reflecting on the demands bush put on the taliban, such as giving up any terrorists they are harboring, closing down training camps, etc.
at this point tracy summarized bush's demands quite succinctly in her own unique way.

i know this is not witness related but i just caught my husband smoking pot.
i am so upset !!!
he is an alcoholic and has a terrible temper.
Hey Jurs,
Please see my thread to you in the main forum.
---------------
Spartacus:
You are a textbook example of projecting your own situation on another.
You have obviously never dealt with and had your life seriously damaged by the effects of alcoholism. You speak about things you know not.
The way you are talking, it is a fair bet that you are an alcoholic.
And by the way, I'm a man, not a woman. Farkel is also a man. What he wrote previously on this thread is dead on target.
Alcoholism is a serious, and heartbreaking disease. It is a mental illness first, then a physical illness.
There are only 2 possible outcomes in an alcoholic relationship:
1. The Alcoholic recovers, or
2. The Non-Alcoholic leaves. Period.
