Surely Moses would have faced a JC if he came up with one suggestion counter to the prevailing "light", let alone 10!

How many of the Ten Commandments does the WBT$ Break everyday?..
by OUTLAW inhow many of the ten commandments... does the wbt$ break everyday?...
the wbt$ has set themselves up as spokesman for god..jesus is out of a job..in watchtower world..the wbt$=god.
all images are forbidden in watchtower world..except the watchtower image... the wbt$ gods name jehovah,is a 14th century catholic translation mistake... the wbt$ doesn`t like jw`s to take sundays off..screw the sabbath... .

Hi MLE,
As a never-jw perhaps our experiences are different, but your anger felt very familiar to me.
For 17 years I was married to a man who dreamed big, and did bankruptcies. I effectively enabled this be staying in secure and well-paid employment. I was often angry, especially after children arrived. Didn't want to break up the marriage because I'd upset the kids, my parents and siblings, let everone down, lose contact with people who accepted us as a couple, all that.
Eventually he made the move. At least I recovered enough sense to start the divorce. Yes, it was hard being a single parent, and quite a bit of what I'd feared came true. Lots of ups and downs.
Now I'm almost twice your age. My children are healthy and happy young adults. I have a great job, presence in the community, a financially secure partner (not husband; stuff that!) and my siblings and I are civil to each other.
My one real regret is the time I wasted just "holding on".
You are quite gifted in commenting on life, and deserve to live it instead. Please, get an education at least!
(Hoping you are asleep and don't read this till morning.)
All the best, Retro

Hi Vampire,
It'sunday morning here; one of my 2 cherished sleep-in days. Weekdays I'm on the road at 6:30. A beautiful sunny day with a crisp, cool start. I'll be driving to my daughters' place soon for a little swap meet, then shoppin, cleaning, sunday papers. Last week my jw ladies told me they share a KH, one month meetings are Sunday morning, the next afternoons. Doesn't sound like fun either way!

The Gentile Times Reconsidered
by Spade indisproving the date 1914 as a significant year in bible prophecy is of great importance to some (e.g.
carl o. jonsson).
along with the meticulous details of bible and secular chronology, broadening one's horizons when assessing exactly what this date represents when compared against the 6000 years of human history likewise has merit.

That's funny, Spade!
The Bible is crystal clear when iterating prophetic words in which sound conclusions can be reached
So why is it so murky to the Watchtower? Why all the failed prophecies? Why do they need overlapping generations? When will they "reach a sound conclusion"?

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.

Mr Falcon
But I really did want to state how reading evolution AND creationist literature at least affords me the opportunity to understand and respect both arguments, instead of arrogantly walking around proclaiming that I have all the answers as to how or why we are on this planet
Very intersting thread! One of my jw ladies just dropped off a copy of "The neck of the giraffe" by Francis Hitching.
I'm impressed that they went to that length after I complained of quotes out of context, and calling Francis H an "authority"
I've only started it, but get the impression that he was trying to stir up controversy, yet claim a scientific perspective.
Somehow I doubt that they (jw ladies) will read it, even though they provided it.

Here i am....
by makersmark inhere i am - born in truth, hard-core spiritual everything all my life, early reg.pioneer, ms, elder, assembly parts, tour at bethel, etc, married now...... i'm trying to examine jw teachings a little closer...... i've spent the last two weeks reading many many posts, info , references on where ex-jw's are coming from.
i'm kind of concerned about a few things lately..... honestly - some points make sense to me - some don't - here are my general thoughts:.
-wt getting un membership for access to library - doesnt bother me - some passports and other governement documents have similar forms and requirements..... -blood issue - some counterpoints to the jw 'rules' makes sense (original intent of scripture is unbled animals, white blood cells similar in mothers milk) etc -however a lot of 'apostate' reasonings and proof are inaccurate.

The Evolution of God
by Spade inhttp://www.watchtower21.org/2011/01/evolution-of-god.html.
in the evolution of god, robert wright takes us on a sweeping journey through history, unveiling a discovery of crucial importance to the present moment: there is a pattern in the evolution of judaism, christianity, and islam, and a hidden code in their scriptures.
straddling popular science, ancient history, and theology, this ambitious work sets out to resolve not only the clash of civilizations between the judeo-christian west and the muslim world but also the clash between science and religion.

Every aspect is of the post is weaved into my own words. What part do you have a problem with?
" weaved "?
That part. The content of the OP is silly, but the grammar is far beyond yours.
