Hello everyone.

by vilot in

hope to get to know you..

Mr. Majestic

Active JW for 20 years, just to much hypocrity and doctrine changes. The last couple of years started to think the unthinkable researching the WT history and came to the conclusion it just was not Gods people.

Looking into the WT history can be quite a hard thing to do when you find out the real ‘truth’ about it all, especially after spending 20 years of your life in it.

Hope you can find a way past all of that if it is causing you any problems. Be great to hear more of your story if you have the wish and time to open up to everyone.

i rarely visit or post on this site anymore, but i had an experience today that made me decide to pop back in.

i've been an xjw long enough that the only time i think about my jw past is when one of my xjw friends (from this board or those i've met elsewhere) and i joke about shasta and fruit bags.. i've been playing on facebook and found some people who i used to know from the circuit assemblies and district conventions.

i would only contact them if i knew that they were xjws; either df'd before i left or were never "strong".

Mr. Majestic

Knowing a few of my girlfriends, they would probably show up bearing a cake w/ a nail file baked inside of it. :-)

I love the fact that in your hypothetical prison sentence you are only worried about sitting there manicuring yourself……

Such vanity…..

Hope you’re well……

Wars, earthquakes and famines are not signs of the end

by Doug Mason in

in the late 1960s and early 1970s, i wrote my study, 1914 and all that.

in it, i stated that at matthew 24 jesus warned his followers against seeing wars, earthquakes and famines as being signs.

i have not wavered from that position, which i have given in my posts here at times.. .

Mr. Majestic

Unless it's false labour!

lol.....

Maybe it is just a huge phantom pregnancy…….??? Or a whole load of gas…….????

Sorry to be so crude, but my guess is the latter………

THE APOSTATE DATING GAME

by sacolton in

we need two more single male apostates to play the game.

i'll be "apostate #1".

now, the single apostate girls may ask a question to any of the three apostate men.. for example:.

Mr. Majestic

I can measure a guy's hand against mine and tell him what size shoe he wears. I get it right almost every time.

I’m double jointed…….. does that throw your theory because I can be as big or as small as you like

For example:

"Apostate #1, do you kiss on the first date?"

... and so on ...

Any players?

I’ll be apostate No. 3 if you are offering……. (No Tongues though...)

Boobs, Bums and Brains…… See, this is why I don’t believe in a trinity……they just don’t mix together well at all…..

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions regarding "attention seekers"?

by BonaFide in

we all love it when people pay attention to us or our opinions.

but what i am talking about is people who crave and force attention from others.

not just people who talk a lot, but those that force everyone around them to focus on them and them only.. in one of my classes there is a woman who raises her hand to ask a question, but never really has a question to ask.

Mr. Majestic

I'll be honest most pro-witnesses are put off by this site simply because you have to deal with constant personal attacks outside of your viewpoints.

I’m afraid that I will have to agree with this statement of Reniaa’s. I have seen on many occasions some pro JW will come on the site and end up with a personal attack because of their views and are treated with contempt.

I think that it is a shame because debate is ended at that point, and it is always good to get alternative view points, even if they clash with our own, because then both sides of the argument can be read which will assist lurkers to weigh up the truth in each argument. When it results in personal insults it always detracts from what that person is saying, taking away from their argument even if they do have the right perspective.

Although saying that, sometimes a pro JW will come on here with an attitude which will just antagonise people who have been hurt by the WT, but I think that even then people on here should be the bigger person in such a debate. I think the most effective way is to give the pro JW enough rope to hang themselves and then leave it for all to read. You can never force an opinion on someone who is deliberately in denial, and doing such is futile and distracting from the persons own argument no matter how correct their thinking is. This then goes onto fulfil the need of attention in some because it provokes a reaction which they thrive on.

Mr. Majestic

Awe….. I feel a right party pooper now……

But this might just be the answer of stopping ‘attention seekers’……

The way to deal with people who seek attention is to work out why they do so. Reniaa for example needs to take on the apostate world and prove it wrong because she can’t get her head around the fact that she is going to die forever. She was never comfortable with that concept when she was out and just couldn’t take it as a reality. She then focused on a belief she once had and went out to prove it true because it held out the hope that she doesn’t have to die forever. So the harder she proves it (in her own mind) the more she doesn’t have to face the reality of her own mortality. So she will thrive on the attention she is given because it is reinforcing her belief to herself. So the more she is resisted the better and the more proof she will think she has.

I must say for the record though that I think that the attention she gets on this site is invaluable and should be encouraged, because of the amount of people she draws out who wish to argue with her. We have a real live JW (or nearly) on the site and I think she is a valuable asset personally and would hate to see her stifled.
