Was Jesus' sacrifice really necessary? Or even a sacrifice at all?
by AiAi indoes it make sense that after adam ate of the fruit god would condemn all of mankind until jesus sacrificed himself?
does 1 perfect person's sin really equal 1 perfect person's sacrifice plus billions of imperfect peoples death and suffering?.
jesus' sacrifice to save mankind really was not a sacrifice at all if he knew he would be raised up after 3 days.. .

A baptism question for Morbidzbaby (and the rest of ya'll).....
by Mr. Falcon ini read morbidzbaby's comment on the post http://www2.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/206838/1/a-question-to-the-ex-jws were she said that she got baptized "hoping that it would sort everything out".
this got me thinking about the whole jw ritual of baptism and dedication.
i look back and recall that i never privately "dedicated" myself to anything or anyone before taking the "dip".. the wt teaching is that a person should privately dedicate (via prayer) themselves to jehovah before publically going through the ritual.

Yeah I was Baptised at the age of 10. The year before my Book Study Conducter said that if you are old enough to understand what I am saying, and the end comes and you are not baptized you will be desroyed with the rest of the world. That really makes an impression on a 9 year old! And everyone knows how the rest of the story goes.

by finallysomepride inbrisbane, australia.
temp: 32c = 89.6f with very high humidity.. moving from an airconditioned room to the outside is like crashing into a solid wall, ok ok not as bad as that.. had to get changed 3 times due to the perspiration.. tonite 7:05pm electrical storms now arrived, powers gone out & i've only got a led torch & my laptop (only 4 hours left on battery) for entertainment.
so glad i cooked dinner early tonight as i normally cook abit later in the evening.. hows the weather at your place?.

Have you made MAJOR CHANGES since you started posting here?
by nicolaou ini ask because i've been posting at jwd/jwn for 10 years now.
i was a rapidly fading jw when i started but still considered myself a christian for a good few years more.
now i've embraced reason and rejected faith i'm a very happy atheist and enjoy learning more about the fact of evolution.. what about you?.

I think my thinking process has changed a lot. Before I started Lurking here, I knew that the JW'S were wrong, but I never really knew why. Now I can look at things with my own eyes and take them for what it’s worth. I don’t really know what I believe now......Scripture Fact or Fiction, God or no God. But I am having a great time finding my way and seeing the world in a completely different way. Thanks everyone for helping me do this!!

I recently Faded and my Mother is bugging me to go to the Memorial this year. I have no interest in going at all! However I have an idea and I think it would be funny. I don’t live in or near my old territory, I want to go to the memorial and partake. Then when my mom asked if I went, I could tell her yes and that I partook. When she flips her lid(because she will) and asks why, I'll tell her its because when I die I'm going to heaven.
I know it’s kind of immature, but then again so are they. With the way my Mother and the rest of my family has treated me family and me, it would be a good little F you to all of them.
What do you guys think, Go for it or leave it alone?

funny times growing up a witness
by strymeckirules ini was raised from the age two as a witness by my new recruit parents in 1981. i was born in 79.. i didn't like being jw, and that didn't mean i was a saint.. and my parents were fanatical and still are.. i have an an older sister and a younger brother and we are all 2 years apart.. my brother and i were a riot.
mischeivious, rambuctious, hyperactive and not afraid of nothing.. we had games over the years.. like singing in british accents during the songs(and during bible reading at family study) and screwing with the word just loud enough for each other to hear.. we used to have armrest battles when we sat beside eachother.
pushing elbows until the other slipped and got in trouble.

strymeckirules, me and my friends used to do all that stuff too!
one of my favorite moves was when going to a door. start of the convo with the homeowner saying this, Hi my name is XXXX and this is my friend XXXX and he has something he wants to talk to you about. then just look at your friend, and he has the biggest OMG, what the heck am i gonna say look on his face.......priceless!
