the result is an inflexible organization slow to make change and not interested in the welfare & rights of individual members.. the internet and boards such as this allow for excellent communication and freedom of information.. because the internet is free and provides relative anonymity it has proven to be one of the greatest threats to the wts.. the wts leaders could be proactive and act in an ethical way, but they'd rather react when a perceived "threat" arises -- telling members to avoid the internet, shun family members, do more/stay busy, and so on.. as jt used to say, "i love this 'net thang".

though gone from us, you are not forgotten and you will be forever loved.. for my dad, who killed himself two years ago today:.

I pray right now in the name of Jesus, that all ignorance will fall away from every heart that is bound by it, all eyes and ears will be opened to the true and living God, and His true love will forever abound in their spirits. AMEN

I totally agree with you. My heart aches for all those who lost their families and friends due to that cult.

Do you feel that "all" Christian denomnations should be "abolished"?

i ask this question because my "atheist" friend the other day told me that he is much mentally free now since he left christianity.

he told me that "all" christians that he comes into contact with or knows from his religious lifetime are "miserable" and that the govt should abolish all christian groups for the sake of perserving the mental health of the people.

christians never are satisfied with their lives because they are trying to measure up to "jesus" and the apostles and will never measure up which causes many nervous breakdowns among religious people of all christian groups not just jw or mormons but many born-agains have mental breakdown as well.

"When in truth they never looked past what they wanted to see and hear."

I agree totally. Alot of people go to church looking for something to find wrong. The church I go to is very uplifting and no one looks at you any differently. I never wear a dress or skirt. My Pastor and his family are the biggest servants in church. When we have a dinner or get together, The pastor serves the meals. I once told him to sit down and let me serve and he told me that He was here to be a servant. He does live in a very nice house but he built that house before he became a Pastor. So sometimes you need to look at the background and not jump to conclusions.

Uzzah,

She has as much right as anyone to post her beliefs here. You don't have to read posts by her. I thought that this place is for people of all beliefs. We left the borg because we were told what to say and what to think and now you are telling her she can't ask others if they believe the same as her. She was not trying to tell you what she believed or get you to change your beliefs, she just wanted to find others who beleive the same. Please give her a break.
