  Admiring evolution

  by GapingMouth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a born-in, i was taught to reject evolution right off.

  that coupled with not being taught it accurately at school (and for only about an hour) it is only now after breaking free of jws that i have been learning about it.

  dawkins has instilled in me an admiration and appreciation for evolution and its elegance.

  Creationist Evolution

  by GapingMouth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been having some small but effective chats with my wife of late.

  she is, i hope, starting to think about some things a bit better now regarding the wts.

  when i told her of the rule about not hugging in the prayer, she thought it so absurd and thought i was telling lies until she saw it herself.

  i just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on the board.

  i haven't been here that long but from the time i've spent here, i feel very comfortable.

  i've been on boards before (witness ones) where everyone is so opinionated, heartless and holier than thou....but this one is so different.

  Are you searching?

  by wantstoleave in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i expressed my doubts about my beliefs to my parents the other day, my mom said that 'no matter what people do, they are always searching for something.

  if it's not this religion, which one will you go to?'.

  she gave the example that practically since time began, people have been clinging to hope in some form or another, namely religion.

  How to teach a child?

  by GapingMouth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a daughter who is nearly 16 months old, and it won't be long before she starts understanding more and more of the rubbish at the khs my wife takes her to.

  she will be very exposed to a lot of creationist junk and i can just imagine her getting brainwashed just as i was a born-in.

  luckily i am in a position to reduce that or perhaps counter it completely.

  JW Census

  by GapingMouth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wts claims membership of somewhere in the region of 6 million if i am not mistaken.

  is this true, or have they embellished the facts?

  including those hiding or fading, technically how many jws are there really?
