No advice, just wanted to say that I like a poster with a sense of humor. I hope to hear more from you.
Are you baptized?

As long as we're discussing translations, I recently picked up a Holman Christian Standard Bible. I'd be interested in any comments on that, too.

I don't know how to embed a video but I can make it an active link.
I couldn't watch more than a minute of this. Someone who is no longer a JW herself calling others out for abandoning the teachings. Hypocritcial much? Her reasoning seems to be, "My life as a JW didn't bother me so your life as a JW shouldn't bother you." Because we all know that each individual's experience is equal to any other individual's experience.
EDIT: Hey, what do you know? An active link makes video appear.

Since leaving the witnesses....
by LouBelle inmy life has been an absolute joy.
i didn't realise how unhappy i was and how much tension, angst and animosity i actually carried around with me when in that faith - it was always us against them, with regards to everything.
i wasn't allowed to just be myself, to be free to express myself - and by that i don't mean being sexually immoral, drinking and passing out...i just mean plain and simple me laughing, joking, sleeping in, playing sports, healty compition, buy a gift for my mother on mothers' day, celebrating a birthday of someone i love (all those beautiful little things that make a person unique you know).. my life now is free, happy, mostly full of joy and peace.

I had one of those discussions this weekend - Am I getting anywhere?
by BonaFide inlast week during bible highlights, a sister commented on leviticus 19:28 about not having a tattoo.
i also commented, saying that we are not under the law, but the principle should be taken into consideration.. a sister i don't speak with very often called me.
she is in the same congregation as some of my family.

john 10 and the wts
by logic inreading john 10 really explains who the real sheppard is.
the wts uses verse 16 freely but ignores the rest.
i like verses 10-13. it describes.

I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I wanted to let you know that it did not go unread.
You're right, vs. 10-13 do sound like WTS.
I was in the b0rg when the new understandings about the anointed and generation came out. I caught them but it seemed like very few others did. They sure know how to sneak that crap by everyone, don't they?

What did you dream about doing in the "New System"?
by lurk3r inlife in the new system, did you give it much thought?
sure, we would be brought to perfection, and there would be a resurrection, but how about other things?.
in my years growing up and living as a jw, i never really thought about it that much.

I was going to develop travel to other planets. I figured since God didn't make the whole earth a paradise, he wanted humans to turn it into one, that the same would go for the rest of the universe.

"Time and unforseen occurence"...a Witness loophole Scripture when your Sh## out of luck!
by Witness 007 ini hate this scripture!
it's a loophole....jehovah is of course protecting his servants but when one of his pioneers or elders is hit by a runaway car and killed it was just...."time and unforseen occurence...".
yes jehovah will look out for you if you pray to him, but.....the "time and unforseen occurence" clause may still get you in the end!.

I agree. Either time and unforseen occurance (otherwise known as random chance) is responsible for EVERYTHING or nothing, at least in terms of God's people. It's understandable to claim that God doesn't protect people from reaping the consequences of their own actions, but if he doesn't then protect his people from other stuff, then what good is he?
