well i know i've been posting a lot of topics like this lately and i'm sorry if i sound whiny or annoying.

my parents were asking me why i was so upset lately and i ended up just telling them the whole truth.

i told them i don't believe in god or the bible because i don't have any evidence of anything.

Blackwolf Do please watch this great allegory about God/Hank, someone posted it on here recently for newbies and it's revelatory. It utilizes a tool philosophers call intuition pumps, believe me by replacing God with Hank and a million quid with everlasting life you will see how absurd the thought an omniscient being is gonna kill you if you don't do what it says BUT you have free will, but only free to choose what he says. Some choice. Get as much info on evolution as you can, read Richard Dawkins book" The God delusion ", in fact any of his books,Jerry Coyne "Why evolution is true" Just spend some time at the library, once you acertain evolution is a indisputable FACT you will loose the fear. This blog is written by a JW and may help initially if the A word is a bit too scary yet!!

so last night i was having a wonderful meal in a very nice restaurant when we heard what we thought was a loud clap of thunder.................. it was a bomb.

yards from my hotel.

thankfully i made a few decision that meant i wasn't in the wrong place at the wrong time.

He is being respectful, thanking a god for saving your life would require blaming god for the 16 dead too.

Please reach out to Te New Yorker

by Jonathan Drake in

i have found an article on their website that moved me to contact them.

i share it here hoping more will contact in a similar vein and maybe we can raise awareness and tear down this propaganda.

i'm writing regarding an article about jehovah's witnesses and their blood transfusion doctrine, found here:http://tinyurl.com/pxku9dgit is clear to me, reading this article, that it's writer is either profoundly ignorant or profoundly biased.

Diogenesister

I know research is essential for confirming data but really, who would't be sure that taking more care and being less invasive would not be more effective which is all they have really established. And that for some proceedures only.

Reading Orphan Crows'work was a revelation. Some witnessDr's are lining their pockets nicely.

Remember too, in the US and other 1st world countries, yes, many options and new tec available. Where does that leave those who cannot afford health insurance in order fo pick and choose their care? In poor countries transfusion may be their only hope. Even the poor have blood.

As increasingly new Witnesses are coming from poorer less educated countries I am relieved folks like you guys are keepin' the pressure on.😀👍

I was rescued!! So funny, on the way out I decided to ask him if he had heard about the RC, initially he decided to use a bit of theocratic warfare on me and said that it was ONE case and the 'guy was put in prison'. When I showed my cards and told him how much I knew it transpires that not only does he know about it he's actually watched the Governing Biddy Jacko on youtube etc Apparently he's got 9 kids so he 'makes it his business' to know about stuff like that!!He made the slit fthroat sign to show me what he think's of paedophiles too! Turns out he's only been baptized a year, studied for five years while he was out in the world smoking drugs (and making babies!!!)As my spiritual mum used to say "he just hasn't shaken off worldly habits yet". Damn straight. Blasted liar! Anyway, he reckons many people in the London KH's are talking about it and at the convention there was a guy marching with a banner outside protesting.

Gave me the old flannel about imperfect men and that"we've changed but Jesus hasn't changed". He also said the two witness rule is old hat (eh?) But he didn't know what I was talking about initially when I first mentioned it, so I think I gave him the idea by mentioning other types of evidence used nowadays generally!Anyway, just when he was just about to launch into a witness, an atractive young lady came storming over to ask "whats going on here then"with a face like thunder, she had clocked me, obviously a patient ,promptly announced she was an athiest and was busting him for taking advantage of my condition!!!!!! I scrammed before I wet myself laughing!!

Ps outside kings college, trendy hippy area of London...JW's you have been warned!

Did GJ commit perjury?

by Driving Force in

this is something i was thinking about.

as we are very well aware gj told a lot of untruths.

is he likely to be prosecuted in australia for committing perjury by directly lying to the rc?.

Diogenesister

I thought Toole (WT lawyer) sayin'he never heard of theocratic warfare (since he's a legal type an all JW's have to study Watchtowers )was pretty close to the bone

Today's WT glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and therefore immortality

by purrpurr in

in today's wt study it makes the point that just glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and can lead to sex!.

so are jw's now to wear blinkers?.

also jw's are told to go and confess to the elders if they have any immoral thoughts?!!.

Diogenesister

Actually I don't fancy girls at all....I like looking at old men wearing sock suspenders and food in their beards ..

Oh and toe cheese...

New Inactive One Saying Hello to all

lostwun here, i joined 2 months ago but am now just finding the courage after doing more research to formally introduce myself to the board and embrace my new beginnings as an ex-jw.

i am a second-generation jw.

i grew up with parents who are well known and very respected in many circuits.

Diogenesister

Lostwon, Hi, I expect you are in the states. I am in the UK, but I believed very much and didn't realise the truth until my 40's so I am glad you seem to have youth on your side.

Don't rush things, is there any way you and hubby could go to couseling so that you can discuss things that are upsetting you both in a "safe"enviroment.If you find a therapist who knows a bit about cult mind control it may help to gently open his eyes to some of the thought stopping processes the mind utilizes to ease feelings of cognative dissonance

I wish you good luck and love❤
