the wt of september 15, 2010 (kool-aid version) has two articles on unity.
one is titled: unity identifies true worship and the other christian unity glorifies god.
of course it is more uniformity, not true unity.
They never cease to amaze me.

here on jehovahs-witness.net i have come across theists, atheists and those that are agnostic that all claim to be friends because they're ex-witnesses like it is all that is needed for religious unity.. .
why isn't this on the ad?.
because every atheist i've talked to believes jehovah's witnesses are just another organization of stupid adults with imaginary friends, just a splinter of mainstream christianity a lot like the branch davidians.
This whole thread has just served to reassure me that my opinion of this forum group is valid.
I just love being on here with all of you 'imaginary' people, and I'm so glad I found you.
Good times.

born in, what difference does it make?.
i was thinking about this one a lot over the last few weeks.
what difference does it make whether you were born into a cult or were brought in as a teen or adult?
Taking away the love of a family, taking away the simple things of home, celebration, and appreciation for the life we have is abuse. Teaching people to have a hope of something that is a total fabrication and lie, even to the point of not speaking to their own family is the worst kind of abuse.
My youngest daughter was a 'born in' and reading this made me feel so sick inside.

hey everyone,.
i have a friend who is divorcing her jw husband, she is baptized but has not attended a meetting in nearly 5 years.
the other day he came at her with proverbs 31 and telling her that she is not living up to her christian duties as a wife.

born in.20 years old.only mom is in the truth.i have 2 sisters the one studies occasionally.dad agrees with jw stuff but won't join.i am unbaptised publisher since i was 12,i used to read from the bible and comment but not anymore since february.i seldom miss meetings and go door to door often (well not as often as i should).few or none will call me out of the 125 persons of my congregation and i can't say i know them at all (except 2 persons) even though i 'know' them since 1998.i try to stick to the rule "no wordly friends" but when it comes to friendships in the jw world i end up alone.i honestly know that this situation is encountered by many teens in the org.
globally.maybe that's what jesus said about the absence of love in the last days..
I hope you heed the good advice and start living Peter

i just finished chapter 8 of crisis of conscience.. i used to feel humbled, but priviliged to think that jehovah drew me to his organization.
so few find it and he allowed me!.
now i feel humbled, but ashamed that i never examined the religion and got sucked in.
Yes I'm not so proud of using a double double? negative in my post...lol...I actually meant that God would be aware of your motives .....why couldnt I just say it simply....

i asked this question to my mother and her husband the other night in a heated debate about the falsehood that the wbts is teaching its members.
i reasoned that their teachings are a contradiction and how can one live their life in truth, in honesty, without deceit or lies if they accept contradiction within ones faith?.
so again i asked them, "what is truth?
I think you're doing rather well yourself. Good advice here too....
