Stupid JWs and their child abuse. Well at least it will eventually go from paedophile in the hall to paedophile in the Hell. Though from what I know those two things are quite simlar.

Congratulations Madam Smith.
I can't remember when I got baptized. Maybe because I was like a baby at the time. :P -

Apostate Presence Rattles World Conference on Religion
by SickofLies ini know many of you probably never saw my post a few days ago inviting everyone to the world religions conference where i was a key note speaker.
i'd like to send a big thank you to kwintestal and mincan for showing and giving their support, surfice to say it made quite an impression that the three people standing up and defending atheism at the event were all ex-witnesses.
the theme for the event was on the topic of morals and modesty.

I agree with Carmel. Putting my Christian beliefs to one side for this discussion, I do believe that the anti religious group has gone to the point where they are almost an organised belief in their own right, their belief being a world with no religion. They even refer to each other as brothers and sisters in a very religious way. These days I think it makes more sense to simply not care about religion if you don't agree with them instead of launching a anti religion campaign which only leads to needless hatred. People should have the right to believe what they want, when they want and no one bares the right to tell them what to do. The same goes for non religious people, whom bare the right to not have to be preached to against their will. But sometimes a belief must be ended, ones that promote much negativity or the wrong message, like JW and Nazism for example.

Avoiding an Elder
by R.F. ini'm almost six months past walking away from the religion, and one of the elders has risen and thrown a monkey wrench into my entire plan.
things have been great actually.
since i've managed to shed myself of congregation responsiblities, the elders have gotten off my back quite a bit.

I have never been a JW, nor have ever needed to be bothered by them and that is for one reason.
Big dog.
Get a big dog and sit him/her by the front door. All JW related inccedents are avoided. If you were a JW but left then take the dog with you if your going anywhere, if a Eldar or JW approches you in order to bring you back then just let your dog do all the talking.
Also if your a female ex JW and a male Eldar apporches you in order to bring you back start screaming and slapping him whilst shouting "HELP! HELP!".

I think you will find that ninja, pirate, cyborg Jesus will go back in time and kill off the JW before they get a chance to see anything.

If you STILL believe in GOD, what do you believe is the RIGHT way?
by Bourne ini should preface this by saying that this is generally directed towards the premise of still believing in the christian god, the bible as the inspired word of god, and the desire to worship him in spite of the disillusionment of the jw "take" on "true" christianity.. i am left with many unanswered questions, but don't get me wrong, i don't have "having all answers" listed as a prerequisite to worship god, because even the bible doesnt list all answers, ......faith is expected in at least some areas.
so........that said....... please grace little ol' me with your sincere answers to the following questions:.
1. is this the last days?.

1. Is this the last days?
Don't know, don't care. No where in the Bible does it say we should be plotting to find out.
2. If so, was a preaching work to be done? If so, in what format?
People should go to Christianity because they know it is what they want to do, not because they were told to.
3. If you conclude that "organized" religion is not needed or sanctioned by god, what do you believe was to be the desired method of worship?
It doesn't really matter. Everyone has their own method, but as long as its towards God it shouldn't matter at all.
4. Given the fact of the Tetregrammaton's obvious existence, do you believe that the usage (regardless of the uncertainty of pronounciation) of god's personal name is desired of god? And, please, try to rule out a "no" JUST because of the fact that the JW religion generally started the revival of this usage.
You can call God by whatever name you want, there is nothing against it in the Bible.
5. Did god and jesus basically expect us to congregate in "loosely" knit congregations ( as described in the book of Rev.) for support and fellowship only, as we await the end?
No. I believe that God and Jesus did not want us to wait for the end. The end has no given date or anything so what is there to wait for?
6. If this is the case, then.....generally speaking, does this not mean that "all (christian) roads lead to the same place"......that old saying, which the JW's like to poo-poo, so as to endorse the concept of one true religion?
I really do not know.

Only a few are interested in the truth
by Hiddenwindow init occured to me that most jws, as many other religious people are not really looking for the truth; they are rather interested in certain degree of spiritual or emotional confort or at least the illusion of such confort that can be found in cults or religions.
truth inhabits the realm of the intelect, and the intelect is of little use to religious people.
what do you think?.

70% of Great Britians entire population are Christians that all believe in Jesus and look to the Bible for support. Christianity is a popular religion and to say that few believe it is a understatement.

Besides, who gives a frak about the 'Truth'? Quite frankly I would rather live a good life blind then lead a life of endless puzzeling. And if I happen to stumble upon this 'Truth' then I will accept it with good pace and move on.
