Its called freewill, and Iam not so willing to give it away as some... there was no choice, you cant unlearn facts, I could not in good conscience preach something I knew to be a lie, once you know that 1+1=2 you cant go back to believeing that 1+1=5..... and to preach to others 'truths' that you know are 'false'??? thats gotta weigh heavy on your conscience... I am a lover of truth, and I studied till I found it!

I did the new study very recently (I started late 07 and cancelled my study early this year), I did the "what does the bible really teach?" book and had started another before I left- I was very clear with the lady I was studing with that I was not ready for baptisim and if I was going to be... I wanted to do things the right way and for the right reasons... It was my honest search and study that lead me to what I believe now (wont go into that- each to his/her own).
I was not rushed (I wouldn't allow that), I dont respond well to directions and I question authority, I trust my gut instincts (they have saved my life and the lives of my children before). So it's not surprising to me now, (now that I know more about the WTBTS and how they opperate), that I was just not a 'follower'..... I cant be taught, I learn by teaching myself.... I taught myself how to cook, how to drive a car, how to play the guitar, how to sew, Im a huge DIY advocate....
That is why they could only manage one shepparding call after I stopped my study- and I asked them this question before they left... how do you tell a friend that they were raised in a cult and all they think they know is a lie???

Original "Sin" does NOT exist in the Bible.
by sinis inyep, you heard it.
original sin does not exist, and has never existed.
simply put - man was made for slave labor and the "gods" did not want man to ascend.... for your reading enjoyment i present a few scriptures:.

I mean no disrespect, but how would know if the sumerian gods are lying or not? Just because they may give tours of their spaceships, that wouldn't really prove if they were our space daddies or not would it?
I mean no disrespect, but dude! how would YOU know if Jehooba was lying or not??????? Just because he said so?????? does that really prove anything??????
These Guys....

the futility of 1-ply vs 2-ply toilet paper (debate)
by SnakesInTheTower inover on my literature burning thread, someone jokingly suggested that when the big a comes i am going to regret not saving that paper for toilet paper..... this made me think of recent discussions my fiancee and i have had on this subject.. when we first started dating about 4 months ago, i would come to their apartment for coffee or dinner...after awhile i started spending the night.
one thing i noticed was the toilet paper.
lousy one-ply.

I live on a farm and I call my out side toilet mum's office- I have a book shelf on the wall and a cute fluffy mat on the floor, my cordless telephone has great reception out there also... necessity is the mother of all invention! I have kids- it's the only room in the house (or in my case- outside the house) that I seem to get any privacy in!!!
except for this-
Ninja- a bear in the woods asks the rabbit "hey, does poop stick to your fur?" -

Some Aussie 'Slang Words' for use in the bath room-
Crapper - toilet.
Dunny - an outside toilet, lavatory.
John - toilet.
Loo - toilet.
Thunda Box - an ouside toilet, lavatory.
To answer your question it's got to be 2ply!, A common question here is... do you scrunch or fold??? LOL

The scientific approach to "holy books"
by behemot in"remember, always, young man, that science which has become a great power in the last century, has analyzed everything divine handed down to us in the holy books.
after this cruel analysis the learned of this world have nothing left of all that was sacred.
but they have only analyzed the parts and overlooked the whole, and indeed their blindness is marvelous.

I disagree with the quote from The Brothers Karamazov by Fedor Dostoevskij, Book 4, chapter 1........
For even those who have renounced Christianity and attack it still follow the Christian ideal.
The Christian IDEAL stated here is the "Ethic of Reciprocity" (do unto others...), and is contained within nearly all Religious beliefs. I have studied many Religious beliefs, both modern and ancient, and although it may be worded differently, or presented in a different manner, it is there. Sometimes its right on the surface, sometimes you have to look a little more deeply for it . Even Anton LaVey's Church of Satan has a version of it!
