A JW rang my doorbell Saturday morning. They woke me up and I didn't get there in time. Otherwise, I would have taken a crack at it.

Has disproving the "Truth" become an obsession for you at times?
by Pyramid Scheme ini was curious if anyone else has gone through a similar experience.. when i became inactive 4 years ago, i went through a period of not being able to focus on just about anything, other than doing tremendous amounts of research to prove to myself what my beliefs were, and to clearly identify my issues with the jw organization.
i was mad - and i was on a mission to build the ultimate case against the wt.
however, having read the fine advice on here, i backed off with my family, since it would have just gotten ugly.. i avoided posting on here for years, and had cut down my research and put it on the back burner.. however, i still felt a need to "witness" to my family and to have an open discussion with my wife.

What are the job interview questions that you have been asked in the past? How did you answer them?
by Iamallcool in -

MrFreeze
Questions I can recall being asked:
"What are the three best attributes you bring to the table?"
"What are your three biggest weaknesses?"
"If I asked your previous employer about you, how would they talk about you?"
They also asked to cite examples where I've displayed certain traits or qualities.
Good luck on your interview!

Is God to blame for pedophilia?
by WTDeserter inwith all the waves made my pedophilia in the catholic church and the wts i did a small research to see what is written in the bible about the matter, and was surprised to see pedophilia is not in the thou shalt not list.. there are some verses that indirectly suggest not to do such a thing: and whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
- mark 9:42.. but pedophilia is not clearly condemned!.
the bible clearly condemns (among others) sex between, man - man, woman - woman, man - beast, woman - beast, etc.

Pedophiles strike in religion because it is a playground for them. They can get into positions of trust and have easy access to children. And with religions doing their best to cover up pedophilia, it makes it even easier for them.

Weird "new world" artwork from the 2013 calendar
by cedars inmy mother-in-law has a strange obsession with calendars, and orders the society's calendar each year.
this year's calendar is especially weird.
it features images depicting future events - in particular, the society's vision of the new world order.. i've taken the opportunity to scan some of the images for you all to check out.. please note - there are captions for each of the images, but i don't have the english language version of the calendar so i'd rather just quote the scripture used so as not to reveal which country i'm in.. .

We are all made of star dust. Leftovers of stars going supernova. Guess what. When our sun goes supernova we will all probably make up the stardust once again that makes life on some distant planet.

Does an "all knowing" God have the leisure of choosing not to know something?
by wannabefree inthis concept just always caused a conflict in my mind.
i can remove the idea of predestination with knowing something in advance, why would the watch tower insist that god chooses not to know something?
is that even possible for god?

The Other Side of the Indian Rape Story
by fulltimestudent ini'm posting this story, not to defend an indefensible act, but to try to provide some balance.
the fact is that so many indians exist in a poverty so deep that it's difficult for westerners to even understand.
the youngest of the rapists in the now world known rape story, according to this uk, independent newspaper story, grew up in that world that seems hopeless.

Since when has poverty EVER been used to condone rape? That might be the worst connection I've ever heard.

Is it wrong to stay in?
by confusedteenager ini feel like, i don't believe in the majority of what the gb teaches, but all of my friends and family are invested in this organization and i feel it would be easier on me to just play the part and continue going through the motions then try to leave right now.
is this taking the coward way out?.
i just feel like i wouldn't have much to look forward if i stepped away..

I don't have anything against anyone who stays in for personal reasons without believing it. It is a big decision to leave.
