  government: It's really just "legitimized" organized crime

  It's not rape, it's just sex you didn't know you wanted!

  Both are equally valid statements.

  (Overlooked this until recently)

  Care to clarify what you mean?

  why do some of you care about being outed for being on jwn?.

  i mean in all fairness, if anyone identifies you on the board it only.

  means that they were on the site too.....right?.

  there are few elders monitoring this board.

  Don't they fear having their minds infected by, like, logic and stuff?

  have you ever noticed any bands/musical artists that overall you really just don't like, or even actively dislike/hate, but out of freaking nowhere they have this one song that is just so awesome it makes you wonder where in the hell they got it, and why they weren't able to go to that place again for equally good songs?

  i have two personal examples:.

  hotel california, the eagles.

  I used to love the Eagles. Still fun I think. They are great to sing along with, and I looooooooove to sing. Have you listened to some of the non hit stuff?

  I hate Steeley Dan, but then they.......................nope, never did do a song I liked.

  I haven't listened to any Eagles non-singles I guess, just what I hear on the radio, which didn't impress me enough to pursue their esoteric tracks. Any you'd recommend if I hate all the singles besides Hotel California?

  Oh, come on, you were going to admit to liking one little Steely Dan song--it's OK, that doesn't mean you have to quit hating them or anything! Let's hear it!

  The WAY OUT of the Kingdom Hall is the ENTRANCE!

  the door you use to enter jehovah's witnesses' religion can be the same door.

  ..............you use to exit the religion.. how does this work?.

  read on.. 1.jehovah's witnesses point to obvious doctrinal errors that undermine faith in christendom.. the dissonance between pure christianity and pagan christmas, for example.

  Coherent, pointed, sensical--excellent!

  Now, Terry, do the research & interviews so that you can really put yourself in the place of a born-in and come up with an equally excellent summation of why and how to get the hell out. :-)

  I can never seem to pronounce "rural" in a way that doesn't sound retarded to me, but no one else ever complains.

  I also get pink and yellow mixed up and sometimes say the wrong one--not really what you're asking, but thought I'd share.

  sorry if this is rambling.

  i just have some thoughts i need to get out.

  i've mentioned before my thought about faking my way through the cult, or at least pretending to, would make my life easier.

  Then I wonder out of pure curiosity, did anybody know of anybody as anti-JW as I developing Stockholm Syndrome?

  Well, I can't claim to know you, but the answer is "yes, or something similar." One of the nicest and most lovable brothers in a congro I was in absolutely hated the JW religion for a time prior to having joined himself--it happens. Please don't risk your sanity this way.

  Yeah, I just really don't like the Eagles--in fact their other songs really annoy me. My mom, though, says she really likes the Eagles--and yet does not like Hotel California whatsoever. So how do you feel about that particular song, OnTheWayOut?

I have two personal examples:

  Hotel California, the Eagles. I freaking hate the Eagles, their songs annoy me to no end--and then there's Hotel California, which is almost divinely awesome.

  Superstition, Stevie Wonder. I have nothing against Stevie Wonder, but I do not care in the least for any of his songs besides this one, which is supremely rockin'. Night and day difference, to me.

  So--did these guys make deals with the devil or what? For me this is a rhetorical question, but for anyone who believes in the devil, feel free to respond as you see fit.

  Any examples you'd care to share that you feel similarly about?

  Did leaving the WT build greater appreciation for or kill your reading of the Bible?

  by lepermessiah in

  i am really on the fence on this issue right now and would love some opinions.. i find that i dont sit down and read the bible for long periods since becoming inactive, but on the other hand, individual scriptures mean much more to me now.. i will sit down and look up some favorite passages from time to time and feel like its the first time i really "got it" - without the jw goggles on.

  i love matthew chapter 23, since i think it describes to a tee the situation in jw congregations.

  i think if jesus returned today, he would blast the elders and "leaders" of the borg in a similar fashion (along with most religious leaders) .matthew 24 is actually more interesting to me now, simply because my whole life was waiting for the 1914 generation to end sometime during the reagan era!
