even if you have left the jws are there still bits and pieces of the doctrines you still believe?.
what doctrines do you still believe that are taught by the wt?.
.
I find it interesting that nearly everybody has replied agreeing with things found in many other religions,not unique to the Dubs,except for Y'not who still believes in a literal 144.000???????????????
I also think that people who take themselves as seriously as Dubs do are asking to have the piss taken out of them,I used to do it all the time when I was IN!

over the years, ive been attacked by younger folks who have called me various names.
old man out of touch and old fool were among the names ive been called in my many discussions on jw related board dialogues.. some of them were true.
(i feel 25 inside.

this must have been mentioned before,but now reniaa is back it could be fun.. if jw's are even part way to the truth,and all other religions are false, then they must have a doctrine that is unique to them,given by holy spirit, but plainly taught in the bible,without resorting to fancifull exegesis and bouncing around from verse to verse out of context etc.. what is that doctrine?.

Reniaa has done it again folks,we fall for it every time,she dosn't answer the question "what is the "Truth" doctrine?" but puts up what she considers to be a false doctrine as something for us to defend (?) Straw Man?
Answer the question. (how many times will we be saying that to Reniaa in the days to come?)

If their "Jehovah" exists he shows his approval by feeding them lies about the time of the end etc.etc.
The God of the Bible cannot lie.
So Iguess Slimboy,Jehovah's Witnesses are not the "truth" in the Bible sense.

Dear Slimboyfat,

maybe i have ranted on about this before -.
but in view of galatians 1: 8, i want to just clarify in my mind what this passage is actually saying.. my angle this time is in relation to romans 11, where paul says that the promises to the jews under messiah's reign would be fulfilled.. when this epistle says not to greet a brother who denies christ coming in the flesh -.
what exactly is he referring to?.
I think John is simply referring to the same thought he had in his earlier letter,1 John 4 v2,that some were denying that the incarnation was a fact,i.e that Jesus was fully human.
Much has been made by some of Johns use of the participle is in the present tense,which may mean John had in mind a future incarnation at the 2nd coming.I think though it is possible John just used Greek that way without kind of embedding a doctrine,he simply establishes the Good News that God came to us fully human.

when i realized that 1975 was past, and the end appeared no closer than before.when a boe made up of men i had 'served' with for better than a decade were willing to write a letter of 'recommedation' that was character assassination at it's finest, and then defend the lies within with a straight face and no remorse.when i began to notice that many of the 'friends' seemed mentally unstable, in an organization that claimed it offered the greatest hope for mankind and the 'only true brotherhood' of supporter's available.when i saw a 'bible student' who was refused any assistance in her move to another congregation because of her sins before she was ever baptized [she never was in fact].when i was 'allowed' to conduct funerals and weddings that needed a minister, but for people who were too soiled in one way or another for the self-righteous upper-crust elders to touch.
yet they all attended and seemed to rejoice/mourn with all others in attendance.the day in the early 90's when i read a critique of jehovah's witnesses in which the author roundly condemned jw's eschatology regarding the '1914 generation', and in such article stated that they would have to renounce such foolish reasoning soon, before the end of the century to avoid being the 'relgious laughingstock' of the world.the day in 1995 when i saw his predictions come precisely true in the watchtower.when i watched and saw no other jw's bothered by this massive change in position.the months that i compiled a chart in which, using actuarial mortality figures, in which i applied the numbers, age-group by age-group to the 'annointed' from 1941 to 2002, and saw that it was empirically impossible for 8500 to still be alive.the month in which i read ray franz' books, and found myself aware that my life was about to change forever.october 2006, when after 3 years of 'fading' and staying out of sight, i submitted my letter of disassociation, and saw a look of happiness on the face of the friend-elder that took the document, though it meant the end of 20 years of personal friendship with him.the day my cousin - my best friend for 35 years - decided i was unworthy of even a reply to a simple email.the list is longer.
but so theraputic to put in words.
Dear Oompa, Have you posted those replies from the WT somewhere,or could you do so please?
I feel it is such an important eye opener for Dubs,if they will force their eyes open that is.
THANKS FOR SHARING,

inspired by a recent post and a long standing amusement at the various ways some americans display their geography skillz with regard to my home nation and their country of origin in some cases.. defintions:.
geography.
1 - the british isles geographically describes the archipelago lying off western europe and includes 'everything'.
If one was born here one can still speak like the Queen if one so wishes,clipped or cut-glass English as it is known,but most of us speak with a neutral sounding ,hard to place accent.
The thing that saddens me is the loss of regional accents due to the damn T.V everybody sounds the same in a lot of the U.K and they are following the bad speech of cheap soap operas,....... damn I sound pretentious, pretentious moi?

Just call it Blighty old chap,and we'll know what yer mean.
By the way the confusion over the still or sparkling water was probably caused by an Aussie or Kiwi barman,(loads of them in London)many yanks can't differenciate just on accent.
Strangely too,I was on a film set some years ago and the American director was amazed at how many Aussies were on set as extras,we all came from Kent. I guess we've been watching too many Aussie soaps on Telly and our accents have all melded!
Any road up,youse all welcome here,come and spend your dollars,we need em!
