  why take notes at meetings.

  a little girl and her family were on their way to the kingdom hall.. half-way into the trip, the little girl shouted: "stop!

  " the father asked: "why?

  the funny thing is that the family most likely weren't dubs ... like all these vomitous stories, it was probably pirated from the mormons or something

  so i heard an interview with the "black eyed peas" who mention they jammed with prince at his home recently, only to have one excited member yell to prince....."your the sh#t man!

  " well how would a witness react to that????

  a staff member later told them prince did not like swearing in his house.

  If you were for real, you wouldn't talk like you do. My guess is that you are a boring pimple faced goofball who likes to make himself laugh for your own amusement. (i.e. "HAHA! Look! I got apostates upset! LOL!")

  dammit jeff! you made me snarf my soda LOL

  Why do Ex-JWs start celebrating pagan Christmas?

  by DubR in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hiya guys and gals.

  im not trying to be self-righteous but i want to understand the thought process of someone who knows the origins of christmas, but starts celebrating it (putting up christmas tree, exchanging wrapped gifts; repeating merry christmas to everyone they see in the month of december)??

  it seems very silly to me (imo) after knowing how and why christmas was created (to cater to pagans sun worship and convert to christianity)!!

  Women as second class citizens

  by iMARX in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't know about anyone else, but even when i was 14 or 15 i had an issue with the fact that women are weaker vessels than men and we are to be submissive to our "head" of the house etc.... people just assumed i was a moody teenager trying to be cool by disagreeing with those scriptures but i was a feminist in the making.. i even asked an elder's wife about it and i said to her: "you're a headstrong woman, how do you feel about this?

  do you think you should succumb to paul's every word and do as he says all the time??".

  she replied: "i hate that scripture too sarah.

  i always hated it ... and i'm not a woman. i prefer the company of women over men - dunno why, just do.

  and i truly believe that women are the stronger of the species. if reproduction was up to men, we'd have died out eons ago. i whine for hours when i get a paper cut ... can you imagine men carrying babies to term then giving birth? o.O

  The phrase "The Truth"

  by lepermessiah in

  2. friends

  so, i am curious..... how many of you have a hard time getting that phrase out of your vocabulary?.

  i have been conscienciously trying not to use it at all, so now when i am in a conversation with a jw, its amazing how often they use that phrase.

  i look back and wonder "god, did i say that that often?

  "IF"

  by acolytes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  most christians assume that the gift of salvation is free.. but gods promises are very conditional and the word "if" is used nearly 1600times in the bible.. the bible is an "iffy" book and the promises of god very conditional.. i would be interested in a christian perspective as to why they think salvation is a free gift-.

  hard to put stock in an iffy book written by an invisible man that lives in the sky ... that isn't very good with money ... he always needs money! all powerful, all knowing, all present ... just not too good with the books ... and that's no if

  Greetings

  first new topic for me.. i have observed this site for about 4 years.

  haven't been to a meeting since oct 2005. definitely feel jws are a high control group that mirrors many of the definitions of a cult.. i was raised as a witness since age 5, left at age 38, now 43. happily married to a wonderful woman for 24 years, except for 1 year of separation when i was failing miserable in a search for my true self - hard to do when you were completely sucked into this religion.

  yes, i was a true believer pretty much up into my late 30s.
