the man that has entered into gods rest has.
what was the purpose of gods seventh day of rest?.
wow i wonder how long their going to be able to keep this up before someone yells the emperor is naked. They got away with it in 1925, 1975 but now their naked body is plastered all over the internet and its unstoppable.
the little demo at the ca showed a young fella meditating and by golly he reasoned that october had an extra weekend so that was reason enough for him to put in a a pioneer application.

it's my birthday today, sept 19. i was born in 1972. .
i find it interesting that so many people i know post a "happy birthday" on my facebook page.
all of those years inside the wts org., and i always thought birthdays were evil, pagan, god dishonoring.
Let me add one more Happy Birthday to the pile
from their literature as source.
i did some searching and was surprised that i couldn't find them referring to those who simply quit and/or speak their doubts as such..
It boils down to anyone who was a jw and now believes the governing body is not "the channel for god's truth".
i would like to think of myself as an academic.
im starting my second degree and i enjoy research.
when i see a statement backed up by references and support from a credible source, sometimes i get excited.
unfolding purpose wow they are too much
today marks our two years free.

some jw relatives just left from visiting me.

it's best it stay that way.
Very interesting! One thing we have to realize is we've been programmed to accept these horrible ideas by our culture our family and fear has been installed in us. We're told to question is wrong and dangerous that just believing and obedience is the safe and good choice. It takes alot to overide this programming but the reward is being in a true place. Maybe at times it feels lonely and scary but it's a true place and it offers the hope and the pleasure of real understanding.
I love looking at archeology for example with a fresh and wide open mind and going wherever it leads me and I may not find the answers but I will keep looking till I'm done. Fear of displeasing some terrorist god has disappeared from the equation.

read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result.
this is not a trick question it is as it reads.. .
What I thought about was good thing she didn't have his number and couldn't find him she needed a little perspective on this love at first sight stuff. He was probably trouble anyway and what kind of relationship did she have with her sister anyway.
i have been noticing we ex-jw's are very different in our choices of beliefs once we leave the wts.
some choose christianity, others flee christianity.
some find they can't beieve in anything any more.
I'm through with dreams and fantasies I want evidence
