i've posted several comments on this board, and love reading everyones comments.

today i was looking through the old postings, and found the threads that were started by an old freind of mine.

reading his blow by blow accounts of what happened to him on his way out was heart breaking and life affirming at the same time.

JESUS CHRIST!

1. watchtower
2. bible
i don't want hopscotch's thread diverted anymore than it has been so i'm starting this one.. this is an opportunity to speak up and let us know how you actually feel about jesus christ.

let's face it, for good or ill he was a major influence in all of our lives.

frankly, i think the biblical jesus is despicable and i'll be posting my views in full tomorrow after a good nights sleep.. jesus should be ashamed of himself .

what was i thinking my entire life?

during the first part about submission, everyone gave the same comments about being obedient to the elders even though you may not agree with them.

and they talked about submission to the organization no matter what.. no one, i mean no one raised the possibility that the counsel or instructions might be wrong, or harmful.

i have never smoked or used any tobacco products aside from puffing on a cigar a few times (maybe 5 times in my life).

even with the few cigar experiences (which i did not enjoy much) i never noticed any real "feeling" from the tobacco.

what is it supposed to feel like?

I took the '1914 Generation' prophecy seriously, did you? Do you even remember it?!
by nicolaou in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i was born in 1964, 50 years after 1914. even in my teens i was doing the sums.

i had a worse case scenario figured out - if the 1914 generation could apply to babies and even if they lived to be a 120, i would still only be about 70 years old after they'd all died!

i figured i was part of the first wave of 'jehovah's people' that really would live to see the new order - guaranteed!!

Most Annoying "Kingdom song?"
by doodle-v in
1. jw
2. experiences
what's a kingdom song you can remember singing that gives you the creeps now?

mine is "move ahead" i think that was the title, anyway it has so much rhetoric... but the tune is so darn catchy.... darn.... in my opinion, those songs are the perfect example of mind control.

move ahead.. move ahead ... blah blah blah blah blah .
