So I finished reading the Origin of Species last night.....
by Mr. Falcon in...oh my.. i am not trying to start a creation vs. evolution debate, but something else really did stand out in my mind upon reading this "infamous" book.
and that is that the theory of evolution is a very complex and at times, logically interesting theory.
it makes valid points as well as asking fair and legitimate questions of the theory of creation.

It's a strange and secretive world, the Exclusive Brethren, but not everyone who joins the group chooses to stay. This was the case for Karen Joyce, a former member of the Exclusive Brethren opened up to Martin King about why she made the painful choice to flee the church, knowing her family would never want to see her again.

I'm thinking x Closed Brethren is some sort of cult and that the TV show A Current Affair will have a segment about them on channel 9?
Am I close?
Spot on!!! You win a trip down under with $75,000 spending money.

Welcome Snowboarder
Glad you found us here. Once you start to see that this strange religion is not for you anymore, you can't help but be true to yourself and leave, I did and I was in it for 30 long boring years!
Be true to yourself and follow your dream (not someone else's). I look forward to seeing you win GOLD at the winter Olympics in the near future.

Earthquake in N.Z.
by smiddy ini guess the witnesses are rejoicing over the death and destruction of the latest earthquake in n.z.as proof of the imminent coming of armageddon,and their deliverance into the "new world system of things" i can just see it now ,the kh`s in nz will be filled to overflowing in the next month,......then in six months later it will be back to the status quo.. p.s when jesus said their would be" earthquakes in one place after another" couldn`t he have identified these areas for the faithfull ?
so at least beleivers would have been spared the trauma ?
of course non beleivers would have suffered the consequences,but why should beleivers suffer also ?.

My thoughts are with all in NZ
I saw this today, pretty scary:
A house near Lyttleton in New Zealand was left with a gaping hole after a car-sized boulder dislodged during the quake and ploughed through it.

Well done dogisgod, made me laugh.
I would of loved to have been sitting just in front of them listening to you explain your story to them. Who knows, you might of started the process of one or both of them eventually leaving the cult.

What is it with all the men waking up but the wives stay in? Why is it the opposite for me?
by Cadellin inthis is something i've thought about for a while now.
it seems like the same story on this board over and over--the husband, who also might be an elder, ms, etc.--starts having doubts and researching, aka miseryloveselders and franklin massey and others.
he starts to smell the coffee and realizes that this organization isn't what it claims to be.

I know 5 couples that have all woken up from the WT$ and the 5 men woke up first, their wives followed later.
From what I have observed with them, the women were emotionally attached to the religion (being it: friends/life style/paradise hope...etc), making it hard for some to leave.
