  Where Am I?

  by BoomTown in

  about a year ago, i made the same choice many on this board made, to leave the witnesses.

  at first, when i would go back to the hall i would tell my believing(just barely) wife why things being said were so false and i was so damn adament about what i was learning from the "apostate sites.

  " in the past year my meeting attendance has slowly faded to about 1 meeting a month.

  It's your life. Just make sure you have no regrets. Years later, you may look back and wish you had left at this point. There is probably nothing to be gained by staying in.

  Smurfs

  by Aussie Oz in

  i noted on another thread the mention of 'smurfs' and a certain jws dismissiveness of the matter.

  which got me to thinking as tonights episode of southpark is about the student councel wanting to kill smurfs..... does anyone remember this one that did the rounds here in my part of oz:.

  a child took a stuffed toy smurf to the meeting as a cuddle toy and partway through the meeting the smurf got down from the chair, declared it was tired of listening to this rubbish and walked out of the hall!.

  Yeah Oz I heard it from an elder or an MS, it was told to us from the platform during a meeting. This was at least 25 years ago. How did those stories get from one side of the world to the other before the internet? It seems there are no transcripts or written evidence, so 'evidently' it never happened.

  Why Watchtower Teaching On Armageddon Is A Myth

  by Scott77 in

  at romans 6:1-14, we read in part, but especially at 6:7, " for he who has died has been freed from sin.

  ... we have died with respect to the wrath that sin incurs, having had our sins forgiven".

  now stop and think.

  This forum would be pointless without posters like BANE.

  yes, posters like our new friend bane actually bring some comic relief to the board, although we must sympathise with the sorry village somewhere that is making do without it's resident idiot.

  another crusading white knight jw emboldened with the mission of enlightening a bunch of evil apostates.

  good luck i say!.

  You all should be grateful for BANE. He is trying to stop those EVIL apostates taking over our beloved forum. Keep up the fine fight, brother!

  Watchtower most widely read magazine??? Gawd

  i have not posted in a very long time, but here is a link i thought might be of interest.

  it made our local paper, likely sent by the jws for some more free publicity.. http://communities.canada.com/vancouversun/blogs/thesearch/archive/2010/05/27/what-is-the-most-widely-read-magazine-in-world.aspx?commentposted=true#commentmessage.

  i posted a reply under their comments.

  BANE, do you have a sense of humor at all? Even the National Geographic Society pokes fun at themselves for the way their magazines pile up in people's homes. Why can't we laugh at the WTS and their worthless litter-trash? Sheesh !

  Religious fundamentalists? No. I am one of JEHOVAH´S WITNESSES.

  That's what I'm talking about. Dubs ARE Christian fundamentalists, like it or not.

  They could leave IF they wanted to. Your family is there because they WANT to be. No one is holding a gun to their heads.

  The WTS, your beloved organization, has promised them eternal life if they are good, and they are silly enough to believe it. Isn't that a gun to the

  head?

  BANE, I just get the feeling that you are one of those religious fundamentalists who thinks they have god in their pocket, and everyone else is damned. As for moving on with our lives; the WTS has taken our families hostage. That makes it an ongoing concern.

  So you got drunk. No-one died. If you went for a year without a drink now you can start again and stay sober for another year. Always another chance...

  I have a hunch its Wannabe, under another name, but I could be wrong. These delusional self-righteous trolls show their true colours fairly quickly.
