This all seems more like an addiction-similar to smoking. You believe that smoking is not killing you and on your very last puff, you still are in denial. Then you are no more along with your faith.

I need to write to the GB
by Mrs Smith ini then asked her if she agreed that the bible is very clear that no one knows the time or the hour.
so i told her that i feel that the gb made a mistake and they should be humble enough to admit to it.
they made a mistake and they should appologise and be humble about it.

Memorial Dates 2008 and 2009
by WTWizard inthis year, the crapmorial will be after sundown on march 22, a saturday (easter is march 23).
there will, in fact, be a drive to hound people into attending.
and i found from the december 2007 kingdumb misery that the 2009 crapmorial is april 9, a thursday night.. not that i recommend attending either one of those wastefests.

I have noticed a lot of catholics converting to a JW. She is a strong catholic I believe, just like most other Quebois.
Different faith, same pedophiles.

Atheists should not be considered as citizens, nor patriots.
by digderidoo ingeorge bush seniors response when journalist robert sherman asked whether he recognised the equal citizenship and patriotism of americans who are athiests, responded," no, i don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots.
this is one nation under god.
" (r.dawkins, god delusion p65).

Aparrently an Islamic terrorist can be a citizen in the US but not an atheist. Makes sense as his friends like Bin Laden are terrorists.

Now That We're Outta The "Organization" Can We Be Who We Really Are?
by minimus inwhen you come here, are you comfortable to be who you really are?
can you express how you truly feel?
i know that not everyone may "understand" who we are, but being out of the organization and its myriads of rules, we should be able to be comfortable.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. Here goes.
If you knew what kind of mess you were getting into, why did you allow it in the first place. Is it perhaps the "fine print' was not offered?
Not trying to be a dink about it, but it is unbelievable all the bs I have seen here in the 5 months I have visited. I mean that this faith was not supposed to be a prison sentence. At the point of baptization did no one point out that this is the point of no return?
I just read another post a few down that it looks like a marraige is going down the tube-Freedomfighter I believe. I mean come on-you sign on the dotted line for better or worse and you end up loving a real estate corp more than your family? Maybe a good thread would be for those that joined as an adult, just how it all started. When did the lies begin? I was told by my JW associate that they do not shun, but clearly he is programmed to say that. He is a drone, but at what point did you all start to see the corruption.?
I would like to know this because of my background studying the "new world translation" with my Jw assoc. I did many bible studies for about 4 years and it was around last summer when the "satan" stuff started. At that point I did my own research and found out about all the corruption and perversion. So I told him about what I discovered and guess what? He now only communicates on a business level. No personal get togethers at all. Suits me fine as he is the most boring dude on the planet.
Anyway I am trying to learn so maybe I might be able to wake the guy up, although it seems like a lost cause. Not trying to hijack the thread,or upset anyone. Just learning. Thanks all. Bill.

i can't tell you what a good feeling that is, but i suspect you already know.

AA is right. "it's a 'they' rule, not a 'god' rule"... . Dare I say it's a worldly rule. Not a bible rule. Isn't the WT on this earth. Does not that make the WT worldly?
