with all the confrontation/negativity on the board these last few weeks, maybe we all need to sit back and have a drink, or a cup of tea or coffee, if alcohol's not for you.. seriously, i'm not trying to pretend that i haven't gotten caught up in the negativity at times, or trivialize important issues/feelings, but things haven't been as fun, lately.
i've noticed a change even in the short time i've been posting.
i didn't start this topic to point fingers or to act like my opinion is somehow special, but wouldn't it be nice for all of us to see an increase in civility?.

just curious many say that the org monitors dbs, but anybody have concrete proof of this??
oh by the way at the recent ca dbs were mentioned from the platform!!!
the thought was "some jws were visting jehovahs witness discusssion boards and trying to correspond with some"...might not be exactly what was said(not an actual quote)...they mentioned put a doubt in your mind and start questioning your beliefs!!!
Its ok the subliminal demonic messages we post from time to time realy screw their minds up. just look at fred.

A Protestant minister, A Catholic preist and a Rabi were discussing contributions and how they divided them up. The Protestant minister started by saying he draws a big circle on the floor and throws the money into the air. Whatever lands in the circle he gives to God and whatever falls outside he keeps. The Catholic preist said he does a similar thing. He draws a big circle on the floor and throws the money in the air. Only he keeps what falls inside the circle. Then comes the Rabi. "I dont worry about the circle - I throw the money in the air and whatever God wants he keeps."

the human brain is a non-stop chattering machine.
it is constantly evaluating, making decisions and judgments.
there is not a human being alive that isn't an abject hypocrite nearly every day.
Another clasic Farkel. Good One!
Reminds of the things I would do to get away. Like finishing early to make return visits (on my "Worldly" friends). Or calling on houses of friends to get out of the sun. i had at least one "safe house" on every map.

i chose the screen name of ripvanwinkle because this fictious characher went to sleep and awoke in a different world.
different setting and must have suffered emotional shock.
coping skills needed to be learned.. i sometimes feel a little like him.
Later we got those who couldn't eat this or that or they wanted special foods prepared until nobody wanted to keep them or feed them especially when they came with fur coats and other finery.
Well said. We could never have the CO stay at our place because we were too poor and ordinary. They always stayed with the big time elders. You know the elders I mean – They run a business and have half a dozen exploited pioneers on the payroll.
if I had a problem the elders would help me....Forget that!!!
I learned very early. As soon as to take a problem to an elder it gets 10 x bigger. Much better to deal with it yourself.

I kind of see the org going the way of early Christianity after the apostles died off. As expectations are not met and the GB die off more compromises will be adopted. The same thing happened to the Lolards, Waldenses the Anabaptists etc. There are already big cracks in the wall of the Watchtower. as far as moving away from the original position of neutrality, the generation, clergy class etc.
What do you think the Watchtower look like in another hundred years or 500 years for that mater? Will they still be preaching the final generation?
i was just wondering about most of you guys.
since you aren't jws anymore, what are your beliefs now?
have you rejected the bible as a whole?
Intro: Guess what Im trying to say is. Tha fact that there is no uniformity in our understanding of God implies his non interest or non existence
