  i've been reading hassan's book this week (finally got my hard copy), and have been taking notes!

  i came accross something today that i'm sure someone else on this site has uncovered before.

  just in case, i thought i might point it out as i'm sure it bears repeating.

  But I wasn't about to read every magazine, in hopes of finding one that wasn't blasphemous and retarded.

  Something that has helped me understand why people continue to go to church

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the more i realized how ridiculous religion as a whole is the more i wondered why so many people even bother to continue going to church.. but someone on this board made a comment recently that has stuck with me- it's something that i could never relate to because i was brought up a jw.

  and maybe many people here have trouble relating too for the same reason.. the comment was simple: people go to church because they enjoy it.

  it was a new thought to me because as a jw meetings have always been such a bland and boring affair.

  It's like being raised by Parents that were horrible cooks,....later in life you have a revelation.

  Damn,...I didn't know that food was supposed to taste good.

  Aug.1 WT: God is not omnipresent, independent of physical universe, uses probes

  by unshackled in

  was checking out the aug. 1 public watchtower and the our readers ask... is does god dwell in one place?

  think there was something in an awake a few months back about this.

  the physical heavens cannot.

  Perhaps WT uses 1Peter 3:20 and Mattew 24:37,38 to assume that Noah was on a preaching campaign.

  Is there a correlation between personality type and leaving the WT?...

  by Tuesday in

  2. friends

  on facebook tonight there was a post asking to take a personality test, in posting the personality tests a trend started emerging that certain personality types seem to leave around the same time.. i came out as an intj which is introverted intuitive thinking judging.

  which a good paragraph describing it was:.

  intjs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "does it work?

  Do you type or do you hunt and peck?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking how thankful i am that i took a typing course in school years ago.

  i would think it has to be very difficult posting on a board like this hunting and pecking all the time.

  so how fast can you type?

  alright, that's it!

  after writing this, i am on a serious search for a good therapist~.

  i've been coming here on and off for a little over a year now(wish i had found it sooner) ...for validation and clarity in my feelings about how hurtful the religion is...so i don't feel so alone about it, and so i don't feel like i am losing my mind~.

  How to destroy the validity of your own mind.

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the standard of what is true is what is real.. truth=reality.

  at the point of contradiction.. with what?

  it would be unthinkable for reality to contradict itself.. .

  The introductory comments of the OP, brought to mind how JW's(WTBTS) project the "real life" as future conditions on earth. When did the Watchtower Society began using the term "real life" to mean "paradise earth"?

  and how loaded is that term "real life" when used within WT context?
