  when i was attending, an elder would never give tacit approval to a jw's participation on a website like this.

  back then procedure was a harsh warning followed by disfellowshipping if the behavior were to continue.. when i was being raised a jw, no witness in good standing, let alone a pioneer, would ever consider allowing his/her children to attend a halloween or birthday party.

  seems as though the days of "mental regulating of youth" are in the rear view mirror.... how great is that?

  Unspoken rules,

  laws, and regulations,

  when punished, are no

  different than if spoken

  It is simply "Plausible Deniability"

  just been reading former long-time brooklyn bethelite tom cabeen's very encouraging article entitled "where is the body of christ?".

  (can be found at http://divinetruth.homestead.com/bodyofchrist.pdf) .

  in his article, tom says: "when john received the revelation around the end of the first century, there were hundreds of thousands of christians, even by conservative estimates.

  did jesus' (and the apostles) names originally just consist of consonants?

  was it translated with tetragrammen (sp?

  i have no problem if the witnesses want to say "jehovah", but my nerves are grated when they insist that's one of the reasons they are the true religion..

  last week a student doing her masters in journalism contacted me about doing an interview re ex-jws.

  i agreed to talk to her.

  and she and a couple of others will be coming to record the interview.. she is interested in what it is like to leave the jws and knows it is a cult.. boy have i a lot to tell.. she found me through the meet up website for ottawa ex-jws.. i don't think it will be a long interview.

  Did the sun stand still and go backwards up the steps?

  been a while since i posted here, but driving into work the other day i recalled how "excited" we all were when it was announced that scientists had discovered "proof" that there is a full "day" missing astronomically, for the exact period of time covered by joshua's having the sun stand still, and isaiah having the sun move backwards, sending the shadow back up the steps for hezekiah.. that got me searching jwd for a thread about this topic, and i didn't find one, but i did find this snopes article.. http://www.snopes.com/religion/lostday.asp.

  this is just an obsevation from me...ok i dont mean to annoy anyone but is it true or just me?.

  i feel that ones raised in the truth are so much better of than us who came in from the world.

  i say that because they have family who are witnesses too.

  Born-in and raised

  Your developed personality

  is that which is directed by

  the cult

  You do have an undeveloped

  (or under-developed) personality

  that is the real you and can create

  a dissonance that can be devestating

  in some

  YES

  Higher learning can drive one away

  Friends not of the faith can drive one away

  Learning the "Real truth" can drive one away

  Rational thinking can drive one away

  Religion IS a "Racket and a Snare"

  I'll take my freedom anytime over the

  CULT, thank you very much

  hi guys...oompa here.

  was i in rehab for alcohol addiction or jwd addiction!?!?

  !......no computers or cellphones allowed so i have been awol awhile..... ya, i finally made my self sick enough on booze to realize i was really sick and tired of being sick and tired....so checked myself into rehab without any planning at all and while wife was out of town on a family retreat...it was a a very desperate moment in my life, and i was extremely physically and emotionally sick....i was so desperate i took zero time to reseach where to go, but called an old school friend who said rehab had saved his life and he made the calls and actually took me and helped me check in to the place he went to 5 years ago.
