i used to shun them, though i felt bad about it. i was like 14 years old when my older sister was disfellowshipped. the elders applauded me for not talking to her. now i'm too ashamed about it to start talking to her again. i just jumped over my shadow a while ago and visited another disfellowshipped sister of mine. and it felt good.

"What are your fruits?"
by changeling insomeone i love asked me that the other day.. i said: "i'm a good person, and i love my family".
i also said: "regardless of religion, i strive to follow the 'golden rule'.".
i don't think this is what the person wanted to hear.. so, now that you no longer "serve jehovah", what are your friuts?.

anyone heard of this group before?.
i just heard about them today on an episode of the skeptics guide to the universe.

that site has been around for years and helped me a lot, when i started researching my doubts. one graph that pretty much opened my eyes on how idiotic the whole blood issue is, is the one showing that JW may now accept almost 100% of blood.

i lost both my password and email, so i gotta work my way up to jedi once again.
havent been around here for about 2 years now, because i simply lost interest in the whole JW thang. moved on and tried to live a life. but when most things you know are about religion and stuff, you just got to talk about it sometimes, that's why i'm back, just checking what's up.
btw: is superfine tetrapod.sapien still around here? -

hey sparkie, thanks for the welcome. i've been active in this forum a few years ago (googlemagoogle).
about the gringos: i actually would be called gringo in most latin-american countries too - and i wouldn't be insulted in any way. i like it rough you know ;) well, not always, to be honest i'm a easy person to live with.
about my political views: pretty much live and let live. i don't see a point in prohibiting gay marriage and such. -

For those of you who don't go to meetings anymore...
by exwitless inwhen you attended your last meeting ever as a dub, did you know it was your last?
did something happen which made it clear in your mind you were 'never going back' (not to be confused with nvrgnbk)?.
the last meeting we went to was the memorial in 2006. we only went because we knew we were already pegged for the elders' unwanted attention, so we had to go to keep them off our backs a little longer.

i did the fade more or less... it's a little funny, but just about everyone knows i'm an atheist. only my mom just dont get it. i haven't felt like a JW in years (been on this forum under the nick "googlemagoogle" if anyone remembers) and was very outspoken about it for a while, having discussions about the 607 fraud, the blood issue and what not. it always ended in a disaster, having my mom crying, my wife being upset about me making my mom cry and you know... i simply stopped talking about such topics. my mom is a pioneer now, i guess she thinks she could save me that way...
if she's any happier with it, i'll go through the horrors of the memorial once a year. -

A Mormon President?
by a Christian inmitt romney is running for president of the united states.
i see one big problem with electing a mormon as president.
doing so will give much more respectability to the mormon church.

is there a problem with being both pro gay marriage and pro family? i don't get it... "un-american": un-word of the century.

How many religions have ONLY YHWH as God ?
by JH inlets say a ex-jw wants to find another religion, but still believes that only yhwh is god and only he should be adored, which religions can he turn to ?.
most, if not all, so called christian religions pray to jesus and adore him, or put jesus on the same level as jehovah..

theres a "church of yhwh", a "church of yaweh", a "assembly of yhwh", a "congregation of yhwh" and what not... just a tip for all who consider switching: don't trade one drug for another.

i don't know if i already had my last meeting. haven't been to one in about a year or so, with the exception of the memorial and one day of the district convention. my biggest problem was, that my wife still wanted to go and would always be upset about me not going, because everyone would ask her why i am not there. luckily she now stopped going also. i don't know when i can make the final step (stop going to the memorials) though.

Must JWs Confirm They're JWs?
by Simon G Best ini was just wondering.
is there some sort of doctrine, or belief, principle, rule or whatever, that says that jehovah's witnesses, when asked, must confirm that they're jehovah's witnesses?
(one possible basis for such a rule, that comes to mind, is the bit about peter denying jesus three times before the cock crowed.).

in fact JWs learn how to not tell the truth without feeling like a liar.
