No, God does NOT have the right to make rules for us - and here's why . . . .
by nicolaou inreading through reniaa's latest topic i found the following sorts of comments from believers and unbelievers alike.
i think they show how habits of thought run most easily along the well grooved and often travelled ruts in our minds.
we need to question these 'obvious truths' more often .

why the hell would god even WANT to make rules for people?...zillions of planets, stars, galaxies, angels.......and he wants rules for bags of water and dirt?...........and where are these damm rules?......at least put them inside a pyramid written with his own damm finger for people to go see and make their own damm copy!....even the tablets from moses would be nice...how the hey do you lose something like that!!!.......i mean c'mon.....could there be any WORSE way that to let stubborn and superstitious people make copy after rotting copy of his "rules"???.........these people made gold calves, copper serpents, and constantly were unfaithful and worshiped false gods...yet they were in charge of preserving gods "rules"..........yeah right.......christians the same way.......they changed what they want, and some even supposedly removed gods own name from the new testament?!?!?..........what the fluck else did they change?!?!?!??
i agree with d-p an nic.....especially the idiocy comment.....
what parent does not force/enforce rules on kids?!?!?!.........when you have a belt on your ass or a hickory switch on your bare legs....it sure felt like my folks were forcing their rule on me!!!.....same with monthlong grounding!!!..........oompa

I've noticed something different at this years district convention
by JWinprotest innot sure if this was the case elsewhere, but i noticed that the contribution boxes with the people attending them stayed out in the hall ways throughout the entire session.
they used to be set up only before and after sessions and during lunch......times are tough!

by OUTLAW injwn is thought provoking!..
this board is a very interesting place to be.....if you are a jw.....were a jw.....are thinking of becoming a jw.....like jw`s.....hate jw`s.....or..like pretending to be a jw..lol!!.
"pretending to be a jw",will be the subject for this thread... we have aready met people on this board,who have no problem pretending to be jehovah`s witness`s and support the wbt$......but..have no interest in following the wbt$..or.. doing any of the hard work it takes to be a jehovah`s witness... i have met people like this,in real life... have you ever met people in "real life" that:.

losing my religion
by imperialspy inafter 5 years away from the borg, it hasnt got any easier.
in fact, in my mind, its got worse.
the pain of losing a mother, father, two sisters and a brother, nieces and nephews, people i loved so dearly, has become ever deeper with every passing day.

impspy welcome.....you have the saddest first post ever......at least to me......and that is prob cause i kinda feel the same way....not just for me, but esp for my son.......he was dfd as a young teen and is out for 5 years now....i am just a very vocal apostate who accidentally faded and quit.....but have lost almost all my friends......but i still have my folks who do not shun me......but my boy is shunned by all but my jw wife, son, and mom
it is a strange and painful feeling to see your own father turn and walk away when your own son comes walking up.....ya....his first grandson....
but the thought this weekend was how this will just keep on happening as the shunning never ends......when he falls in love and gets married......what a pain in the ass....yep.....most family and no old friends would go to it........this is just sick....this shunning thing is so damm awful and unfair.......how can you kill a kids total social structure or anyones just cause they change their mind on something???!?!?!!.
anyway....sorry i ranted to you newbie.......but i do feel your pain and felt it a lot this weekend as i got to spend it with my boys and wanted to invite my folks over as we were cookin out and had too much food.......it seemed so natural i started to do it and wife says "hello.....what are you thinking?".........oompa
and also.....good luck friend.....i bet you see i do feel your pain as do many here in this small club.....i did some therapy, but need more i guess...this place is the best around for the price

Adopting the local flavor
by donny inlast week the jw who works for me was sitting in his van and i walked by and he motioned for me to come over.
he then proceeded to show me a collection of watchtowers he has from different countries/languages of one particular issue.
he had about 40 editions of the same one and he was showing me how the winesses adopt the local flavor on some of them if the society feels it's necessary.

allelsefails: But they did know he was coming in 1914 - Right?
oops......wrong friend.....they had been preaching for 40 years that the boy came invisibly in 1874........they knew THE END was coming in 1914.....that is what they were "ready" for.....oompa
that is why all the watchtower backt then were called "the watchtower and herald of christs presence".....cause they thought he was already present, just like now.......and like then......he did nothing......just like now..............
and what talk are you referring to in your last post?
