I think there is some turth to it, not sure if I would believe all of it but at least some of what has been written must have real origins

Reading the Bible without JW "aids"
by easyreader1970 insomeone a week or so ago posted a link to a youtube channel by the ex-gilead bible school guy (sorry, i know ex-gilead bible school guy is not his name, but i forgot what it was).. many, many people have had the "light bulb" go off after they have read parts of or all of the bible without using the wbts "research" material.
some of these people think that the jws have a twisted understanding of the bible and others come to the realization that the bible is just a made up book of stories.. either way, reading the bible on its own helps you to see that jw's have it all wrong no matter how you slice it up.
and you can see that even if you read their own heavily altered nwt bible.

When I'm reading bible I really feel no need for any outside help, it is not advanced mathematics after all, it was written by simple people, sheppards and fishermen

Why is it that people who go to church feel you have to belong to a church to be happy?

I guess sometimes you just need a company to feel happy, that's my take on it anyway

Getting the forum back on track
by Simon inrecently we seem to have had a few different dramas and subsequent fallout on the fourm which i feel has detracted from its purpose.
with this in mind we have decided that we need to bring the forum back on track and as such we will be clamping down on a lot of the aggressive / insulting posts which have begun to become the norm for a few people.
we will also be clamping down on the paranoid assusation type of comments against newbies, if someone joins the fourm and you do not believe everything they post - so what, why do we need to hound them away with shouts of troll and fake etc, just ignore them if you dont beleive them.

lol outlaw, I have to admit I've never even read it. It should have been first thing to do before making any post. I think all of us quickly forget this forum is not provided by Government's social institutions. Anyway here's the quote for all of us who never read it before.
Annoying the forum owner
If you have a query or a complaint then send a personal message or email. This is my site and I can say or do what I want and don't need lectures from anyone who doesn't like it. If you don't like this then don't use the site.AMEN!

I’ve been reading disputed posts last several days and tracking down what was referenced and like you for the life of me couldn’t see what the fuss was about.
I tend to believe that person with the cancer has had some experience with a cancer at some stage, perhaps she’s not completely out of woods yet (though major drama has been and gone without having anyone to see what she had been through, my opinion anyway.)
Coming to this place she had impression of sympathetic environment that in a way gave her opportunity to make up for and relive the experience of those past dramas.Why am I saying that? Because everything about this case tells me that, people who had been through major dramas in life for prolonged periods of time, perhaps a better part of their lives but never had sympathetic ear are like stretched spring. When they suddenly come to relaxed environment all that pressure gets suddenly released where they either constantly talk about what they had been through or this case relive it all. For them it is as real as when it was happening for real. As they get some attention they start craving for more and so the story continues. It is kind of like that movie ‘gunfight at ok corral’ while historically it lasted hardly 30 seconds movie made it last at least half an hour with build up, what, something like 2 hours?! It doesn’t make it false it is just that the story had been stretched to highlight its significance and what it meant to those people. Mind you from my own experience I know that these kinds of things tend to make time stand still with every second lasting an eternity.
Unfortunately, to outsider who are NOT in the hot water themselves or who had had support through similar experience upon hearing something like that their mind only seeks out inconsistencies and fails to see the bigger picture. Think about it, there can really be only two motive either person seeks attention she never had in her life or there is a monetary gain to be considered. However for the second one there must be evidence of consistent gain that outweighs the effort put into it otherwise what’s the point. In translation if someone decided to send the person a gift that can hardly be used as evidence against recipient UNLESS THERE IS A PROLONGED HISTORY OF ABUSE AND CONSISTENT MONETARY GAIN for which in this case there is NO evidence. So this person only wanted one thing this forum claims to give – understanding and attention. So I think it is really the time to take deep hard look into what it is we are doing here and for what cause.In meantime to people desperately needing attention I can ironically offer only advice that comes straight from the bible “Let not your foot be frequently in your neighbour's house, or he may get tired of you, and his feeling be turned to hate.”

I want to hear more about this "valueless sex" topic.
Hear, Hear!!
That is a new one though, I wondered for a moment why they never said something like that before, then it struck me. Members of FDS can't get it up anymore so why should anyone else.

Tornado warning issued for southwest L.A.
Not particularly funny, probably not a sign of the big A, but definitely sign of how much we screwed this planed over with global warming.
