hey Dan, I love this thought!
An apostate is a JW who got mugged by reality. :)
ive always been the type of person who doesnt like to do things they way most people do things.
when i think back on what kept me a witness for so long, one is the counter-culture mystique.
being a jdub, to me was like being a rebellious redheaded stepchild in a way.

what happened to the troll thread?
it appears all evidence of its existence has been erased.
I think Scully summed it up very well.
It's a bit dicey to label people as "trolls"... it's really no better than the WTS or individual JWs deciding that we are "apostates".
Obviously we are going to disagree on some fundamental issues with people who are JWs. But if they are willing to enter a dialogue with us - as evidenced by their posting here - then let's try to find some common ground and work from there.
I bet most honest-hearted JWs would be interested in protecting their children from child molesters posing as JWs in good standing.
I bet most honest-hearted JWs don't want to have elders who engage in spousal abuse to lead their congregation and present themselves as an example of what a "true Christian" is.
I bet most honest-hearted JWs are interested in the changes in the WTS's blood policy, and don't want their child or spouse to die needlessly.
Let's find something in common to discuss with them rather than beat them over the head with prejudicial labels
gringojj, I think you need to find a different topic.

it got locked and removed.
Move along, nothing to see here
let's extend real christian love to dennis and give him suggestions on how he can get under the jw elder poztate scope and successfully fade out of the wt cult.
Exactly, Honesty.
Somes we forget where we came from and how we were just the same in thinking at one time.
Love to all.

seems that pdf files have corrupted my original topic and now it's locked out, sorry.
if anyone can get the pdf file posted here, that would be great.
jw's are experiencing severe persecution in russia, link is from jw-media.org.
*waving @ JT who always hads something worthwhile to say*
The only good thing about Russia is that Crisis of Conscience is available online (in Russian) for them to read. And so is In Search of Christian Freedom. That maybe helping more of the JW's there to wake up.
i have been reading over the forum today and something hit me.
because i don't look up everyone's histories, there are people i assumed were either male or female--partly based on their avatar and partly based on the type of comments they make.
well guess what folks--i was shocked to find out i was wrong about a few people.. does anyone else out there decide that certain posters are male or female, and then find out they're wrong?
I thought the cross thingy was some kind of indication of prolapse
lolololol, only someone in the medical field wold think of this. Or a very old lady having problems
Tell us LT, you were a very old lady in another life????

pssssst,
there is a little blue or pink symbol over there on the left under someone's name. That may help.
while surfing e-watchman's paradise forum, i clicked on one of the topics i never go to, "our meetings & assemblies" and found an interesting post on the wt bleeding financially.. it was posted 3 months ago.. http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/viewtopic.php?t=2888&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0.
in my neck of the woods (which shall remain anonymous) the do and co have been circulating the rumour that the watchtower society is in financial straights and is being bled dry.
this must be very pressing.
taking literature, cd, dvds, etc without contributing is tantamount to stealing from Jehovah

talesin,
AFIN will be put in the cooler, but if you ignore someone, you don't give them any power. Obviously she gets her jollies out of being fed here. Continuing to bait her back in this thread doesn't add to the thread's topic.
just my 2 cents
