This thread has the makings of a great article.
Jesus evidently meant it is OK to question your religion.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses allowed to live in homes made of PLYWOOD? A Watchtower viewpoint from 1964.
by ThomasCovenant inwhile looking up whether jw nurses are allowed to administer blood transfusions i found this little gem from.
watchtower 15th november 1964 page 681 .
''the use of blood in adhesives for manufacturing plywood and other commonly used materials has now come to the attention of christians, and we use plywood as an example.. much plywood is made using blood glue, but some plywood is blood-free.. a christian purchaser or contractor may seek to obtain blood-free plywood if he can do so; however, if he decides to use all types of plywood, it must be left to his conscience.

The Bible shows that blood is not to be taken out of a body, stored and then later reused.
Not in My bible it doesn't!!!

What would Jesus Christ say if he returned today?
by James_Slash inthis was always one of the main justifications for me in leaving the wt behind.
i was just wondering how many of you have ever reasoned in the same way.. i have often wondered how jesus christ would react if he came back to the earth now and how he would view the organisation who claim to represent his standards?.
would jesus really want to be associated with paedophilia, false prophecies, shunning, the destruction of families, lies, untruths, hypocritical leaders and the lack of love amongst members?.

Who else could Jesus be talking about apart from the JW's?
How about every organized religion using his name?
Are there any out there that don't claim you can be saved apart from them?

2010 Circuit Assembly..........Sunday Program nonsense and madness.
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini went to the sunday circuit assembly and came back all riled up with all the nonsense.. the sunday program was on ''safeguarding your spirituality''.
''it is better to remain single and not marry.
that gives you more time for studying and the preaching work.

Headquarters is FULL of dr's, lawyers, engineers, computer designers, chefs, hairdressers, dentists, etc - they didn't WALK in the door with no education. did they??? So it's ok for THEM to benefit from an education - but the rest of us can't?
Damn right it's OK for them, they are needed.
Maybe someone who was at bethel could answer this for me.
I was pushed to go to bethel like many here, but I swore that if I couldn't go to college then I wasn't going to bethel. I knew at the time that they had plenty of educated ones at bethel, I also knew many people that were highly skilled in something that got put to work cleaning or doing laundury. Now I am not to good to do anything, but I these pople spent their entire bethel career doing menial labor while their skills stagnated. Why does this happen? Did they not kiss anough ass?
I remember being told that these skilled people went to college before "learning the truth"; I highly doubted everyone did.

I knew I wasn't going to college so I didn't have to worry about grade point averages or SATs. To be quite I honest, I really didn't give a fuck about high school or my grades. I just wanted out.
I had a similer attitude. What else do you expect when your parents and every adult in your life is telling you will probably never finish school.
I wanted so much more out of school but it was never an option for me, at least never an option I new how to take hold of myself.
The few adults I was friends with in and around high school age, every time we talked they said how little time is left and they couldn't wait, this sytem can't last ,etc,etc.
This kind of attitude, especaily from your parents, really warps your outlook on life.
