Little bit like the matrix isn't it? Some people find it easier just going back to the world of lies and ignorance. Yet some people want to help spread the truth. I still haven't found 'The One' yet, but I'm still looking.

Diary of a thinking to return ex-Jw
by reniaa ini thought long and hard about posting this but the mis-information on this site finally persuaded me, i already accept many may not accept what i say on face value and get their appologist pens ready for making sure no pro-witness propaganda slips through the net on this site but here goes....... i've been on this forum for a few months my first post was about how i was thinking of returning to jw's and at my sisters recommendation to look at this site for both sides of the story before taking that step.. i faded from jw's 10/11 years ago now i left my hubby at the time divorced him to going on to have more relationships and kids, i was definately given the impression after asking on this site and with what i read that if i tried to return i might face df or at least a jc but definately a couple of elders questioning me over what i've been upto these last few years - none of these have happened.
i talked with an old jw friend (yes i do have then and she never shunned me quite happily accepted an offer of coffee from me and my asking for a chat) i told her i was interested in going back and was very frank about what i done in the last 10 years but not sure how returning was done now, she quite happily said she go ask for me to find out.. result!
she came back this week and said "all i had to do was goto meetings again" and an offer of a study was there for me if i wanted it to explore the open doubts that i had expressed i now had.. not quite the fire and brimstone welcome this site led me to believe would happen.. i will keep you posted with further updates if i feel the need to put them in future.. .

There's a surprise at the end? Damnit! I couldn't get my Mum to stay and check.
I really enjoyed it apart from that. I expected a film that's made out to be good but is actually really tedious but it exceeded my expectations. I could barely take my eyes off the screen until someone told me to get out of the way.

If you think the last one's true send a prayer to the person ruling the 'other side' to give him a clout for forgetting you.

I think there may just be something out there. But with the advancements in technology and human intelligence it can often be hard to differentiate between a scam or a genuine account.

What do we have to do to get Gods' Attention
by LouBelle inthis is *if* you believe in god / a god / gods.
there are moments when i sit down and have a conversation, almost with myself, because even though i am looking up at the heavens/searching my soul, there is no answer, no supernatural feeling, it is quiet and still, but i speak the words just in case there is something listening.. if there is a god and he is all that he claims to be through all the religions on this earth, why doesn't he rule us as a god should?
why doesn't he come on down and sort out this world?

This sounds like a fairly good explanation to me but I'd like to hear your thoughts. God created our universe but he's probably left it to see what happens or he's working on a different project. Sound realistic to you?

That last post was an accident! Stupid computer... I heard this theory put forward by a man that made a book about it. He said that one day he was sitting by a river and saw a pale image of a couple kissing each other over it and said it had something to do with the water. I'm not completely sure what to think but I'm going to keep looking.

A STUNNINGLY simple question about JOHN 3:16 "For God so Loved the world."
by Terry inon what basis did god so love the world?.
the world of mankind had been condemned to death by god's curse in eden!.
god viewed mankind as "dust on the scales".

I still don't understand why Jesus needed to come to Earth to die in the first place. Here's the story I gathered. Adam and Eve sinned, the innocent are punished for it, God sends his son to die, this makes everything better somehow. Why did he send Jesus to die in the first place? Because God loved us so much he gave us another chance by killing his son?

I haven't bought an album as of yet. My Dad just seems to have every album I could ever want in his C-D rack so I borrow them and copy them onto my media player. My Mum (PoppyR) says the first album she bought was one by Nik Kershaw but she can't remember the name of the actual album. She thinks it might have been called 'Human Racing'.
