Truth is a very relative term in the religious environment... If I were to present to you a 'book' written by the aborigenes of Australia ( just for an example..nothing against them at all) that supposedly tells the truth about our beginnigs and the truth about the future, I am almost sure the mayority would call me crazy and would put no value nor faith in those writings...
Yet here are millions of persons putting their faith, their values, their futures and their life and the lives of their dear ones based on a book handed down from some nomadic tribes that roamed what today is called the middle east a few thousand years ago! The difference being a helluva lot of marketing...
If we truly want to be honest we should ask ourselves why do we believe what we believe... why are we swallowing all these teachings from JW and NON jws without examining what we are actually believing...
As you might well infer, I have no common ground discussing religion with christians, because of what was called 'circular references' (great post by the way)... I dont believe in the infallibity of the bible nor any other book written by humans... the truth is humans lie and are deceitful.. will write anything to dominate and control weaker minds... as a former JW that was my case...
I like Jesus very much... its christians I dont care for too much... I like Jesus teachings... just like I like Ghandi's or anyone that teaches us to care for each others...
I hate bribes and blackmail... and to me that is what the bible is all about... bribe:be good and subservient and dont question and you will live in paradise... blackmail: dont be and die forever or rot in hell...
sounds all to human to me...

I remember as a teenager, a group of us got together and re-recorded some of the songs to a more modern beat without being sacrilegous (spellin)... at a CO gathering (you know the kiss-ass session after the sunday talk) we decided that we would 'honor' the idiot's presence by playing them for him... 'LO AND BEHOLD.. I LOOKED AND SAW... the CO got up, insulted us all...reamed the elders for allowing such blasfemous behavior... and left without eating...
Next thing you know.. we were all summoned to the 'cold room' (every KH has one hehe), imagine the rest...
So seeing that picture of the albums brings memories... memories of the beginning of the end for me as another dumb drone...
Several years later... my brother who is still in da chet told me about a presentation/enactment they made at the circuit assembley where a group of young brother and sisters got together played and sang the songs on STAGE using modern rythms...

Open Letter To Jehovah's Witnesses
by Outaservice ini thought for some of the new ones here, that this letter would be good to repost..................... dear brothers: you may not remember, but i know you very well.
i met you a long time ago when you came to my house with your smiling faces, your neat clothes, and your soft voices, and a bible tucked neatly under your arm.
you told me many beautiful stories of a "paradise earth," and a "righteous new system" which would be established shortly.

The letter reflects exactly how most of us dfed feel.. no wonder it takes years (if no a lifetime) to get over it and get rid of the feelings of rage, resentment and stupidity inside...
OBVES... reminds me of Jim Careys Movie 23... the guy is obssesed with numbers and years... anyone who puts the time and effort requiered can come up with some cockaminny bs dates... OBVES should call himselff OBSSD... let numbers be just that .. numbers.... get a grip on reality and quit the obsessive compulsion of tinkering with numbers...
Besides.. if you truly believe that the bible is the word of god, doesnt it say somewhere that no one actually KNOWS (or can know) when the end is coming? come on guy, where is your FAITH in the bible? If you believe in it, why are you trying to figure out a date that you are NOT supposed to know?

by Cindi_67 ini received an email from my sister in law.
she was relating an experience given in a talk at an assembly.
a young couple wanted to have children, but they couldn't conceive, so they decided to adopt a child.

Sounds like the story of the sister that went thru the alley were a rapist waited... he raped the next girl to come thru the alley and when captured was asked why he didnt rape the first girl (jw, evangelist, substitute for the religion du jour) he answers "What? with thoses two tall guys that were walking with her?"
I guess its human nature to seek shocks and thrills and make these extrarordinary entertaining stories...

If History is to be a reference, they are doomed to suffer a colapse sooner or later... All major empires or organizations will eventually either transform, disappear or fade away, no matter how big there control and extent was...
The demise of a mind controlling cult will come as other had stated, from education, but also from the evolution of the human mind.
Our generation (I'm 48) is probably the last generation that holds the past in high regard and esteem. My son who is 25 questions everything.. typical of his generation for whom the past is just that: the Past. And if you examine even younger minds you will see they simply do not take any bs from no one. They question everything, they cannot relate to the primitive societies that gave birth to the ideas that hold do many minds captive. Try selling the tooth fairy idea to a modern 4 year old... good luck!
I remember a song by The 5th Dimension : "This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius..." according to estoterical views, Aquarius the man with the vase that never ceases to spill water signifies the downpour of information that we have since the beginning of that era in the 1920/1930.... Information and the knowledge that comes from it will be the demise of all structural beliefs system founded on basically the word of other humans. No more mind control.
But I will take some time...

You made me smile... there we were, all the time preaching and slaving and trying to convince others about the future, while forgetting and ignoring the present...
Eternal life? right there sitting in your lap... bouncing and smiling...
It was there all along... I do exactly the same with my grandson.. its the closest I've felt to God ever!
