I gave a huge part of my life to the JW version of a relationship with the creator. The JW scheme fell apart for me after becoming an elder. So I let it be known and was DF'd for apostasy. But I still wanted to believe in a God/Father. Within a couple of years the fog cleared and I became a devout atheist/secular humanist or whatever you want to call it. I found the real Truth.

Why leave one religion only to join another one??
by Monsieur ini read how many here have learned ttat, leave the jw faith, but then subscribe to the 'true' gospel of jesus.. it seems rather contradictory.
the jw faith teaches a very positive 'concept' of christ and his teachings, how is this different from the way other religions teach it?.
it seems more logical to discard or ignore any claims of historic or authentic proof of christ's existence.

Who are you...real masculinity...
by new hope and happiness inmale or female it doesnt matter, being a jehovers witness represented for me a true dehumanization of my male personlaity.
why?because my very masculinitu was defined by my watchtower spirituality and how i advanced in the organization.. now i have left the witnesses i feel more relaxed about my masculinity, that i dont need any longer to prove myself to anybody.
in fact i would say that by leaving that authoritarian regime i have become more sensitive, more caring for both myself and others and an infinity more positive and worthwhile individual.

If you have an erection that lasts more than four hours, contact your physician. Ask him if your heart is healthy enough for sex.
Better yet, get a female doctor.
Seriously, NewHope. The entire scheme of most organized religion is to exert control over the most intimate part of a humans life, namely their sexual drive. Remember the constant drumbeat "deaden your members (i.e. genitals) upon the ground" etc.
Isn't it great to finally be a human!
Best of luck, podner!

I have no idea what your mortgage situation involves, but the first step is to communicate with them and see if they will work woith you. Many lenders would rather work something out rather than foreclose.

Pets are false gods
by Rattigan350 ini"m listening to the 2013 dc green bay saturday talk on false gods.. the speaker says no one would knowingly worship false deities.
but could we inadvertantly give jehovah less than exclusive devotion he deserves.. he said:you have not allowed this deception power of sin to sensual desires, material comforts, pets, technology, entertainment or food to become objects of devotion to you.. anything that interferes with our spiriutal routine has the power of eroding or weaking our relationship with jehovah.. .
my dogs can erode my relationship with jehovah.

These idiots are desparate. Wonder how many loving pets are now being dumped in the woods?
They are thinning out those in the org with any little bit of brain matter remaining, it causes problems.

"We have very high standards and it's just blown us away that this has happened."
This was probably a reference to the video quality in addition to the poor choice of subjects who were not "hotties". Grannies lycra girdle is not as interesting as young sisters in thong underwear.

Yes, Syria is now a much bigger problem than it was a few weeks ago. US Domestic developments have finally reached the point of needing a distraction. Syrian conflict has suddenly become a top priority in the last few days. The reluctant Obama realisation that Assad was using WMDs. After 90,000+ deaths from plain old bombs and bullets, the US says, okay now that you have used a WMD to kill a couple of hundred of your own people we will "do something" .
Turkey, our solid NATO ally, now has it's own internal mess.
The perfect storm of mideast turmoil is brewing quickly, and we are still not clear on how to back up our rhetoric. Sending in light arms to the rebels would be a ludicrous gesture at this point. Air support, heavy artillery and "US advisors" is called for now. NATO is not exactly ready to step in.
Obama has bungled every one of these "lead from behind" situations and the radical islamists are emboldened to take advantage of the opportunities for meaningful control.

Sicko. In Portland a few years ago they caught some twerpy guy who had planted a cam in the porta potties at a waterfront event. He was retreiving his pics at night of miscellaneous people relieving themselves. Not saying he was a JW. Just the same kind of strange perverse sexual fixation.
