my thread was inspired by gentledawn's insightful comment about the effect the events in wales had on her jw husband.... hope any lurkers out there can filter out the signal (storys and experiences like this) to noise (the current trolls running amok on the forums) ratios.
this the problem with those who focus on outrageous fantasies about the watchtower.
it distracts from the real issues that need to be highlighted.. what happened in wales was for real.
I must admit i do hate it when pompous assholes come on here and spout their particular brand of nuttiness acting as if we'd be impressed by their use of many words.
Most just mark themselves out as mentally unstable to one degree or another and make it easier to spot the next one to turn up.
its interesting to find out that there is no evidence of king david or his son solomon.
what about this amazing temple that solomon supposedly built??
there is no arcylogical evidence that it ever excisted either.
i turned atheist before i focused on the borg.
so being blasphemous is nothing to me; like they say, it's a victimless crime.. .
but how many of you stay put in fear of jehovah's judgement?.
Indoctrination can be hard to break, after all we used to really believe this stuff so why wouldnt it be hard to break.
I remember the 1st time i vocalisied out loud that there is no god I felt odd and slightly conflicted.
But once the curtain has been pulled back and there is no wizard there really is no going back to that nonsense, but even so years can go by before it is fully peeled away.
do you believe it exists?.
when you get "a hunch", do you ignore or listen to it?

Intuition is very much like prayer, you only remember the times when it appears to work.
so one of my in-laws, a born in dub, started asking me questions about the issues i am having with the religion.
so i told her, rather carefully, how i discovered all the child pedophile cases, went over some of the case details, explained it is occurring all over the world, so isn't just some random misunderstanding, but is widespread hiding of child sex u all abuse.
she was horrified.
Probably nothing will happen. Sister will be warned off looking into anything and her doubts smothered and will probably be wary of talking to you.

well, of course nothing else would be expected, but it passes me off.. for example, they show this short video that shows a child dying, shows her father crying as he visits her grave...and then she is reunited with her family in "the new system" and then it shows a handicapped girl who is sad she can't ice skate with friends...fast forward to tns, she can skate!!!
then an elderly couple is shown happily young again.... .
and of course the end is "so close!
Stay home, you'll feel much better...

(job 26:7) many ancient peoples believed that the world was a flat disk supported by a giant or an animal, such as a buffalo or a turtle.".

yeah, science sure backs that up ........
there is a girl that i like and she has been emailing me recently.
we have not met each other just yet.
she is jewish and she is very involved with jewish organizations, etc...should i be concerned about it?
Going by all your previous posts asking about these sort of scenarios I think this would be more to your tastes:
She wont have an oppinion, she wont have any bad habits, she can be any colour you like and if you dont like her clothes you can change them.
a new "fly-on-the-wall" documentary about the life of young mormon missionaries goes out this evening on channel 4.. .
