punkofniceagoiggy bliss - I wonder how many that attend do so because it's a 'captive religion'?
A sizeable portion I would wager.

If giving away material possessions is a qualification for the "one true religion", Catholic missionaries have definitely qualified the RCC. Puh-lease, give us a break with the self righteous bullshit.

I got a good laugh out of that pic. Touché my friend, touché ....

ToesUp:
I wonder if the RC in Australia will have any impact on some leaving.
It must even if minmal. Think abot those looking for a reason to leave or those who already had doubts, surely at least a handful were influenced? If not made them leave then at least planted the seeds of "opostate" thinking? -

I believe that the greater percentage of JWs-You Will Not Be Able to Help, no Matter What Facts You Show Them.
by John Aquila inso i ran into this brother whom ive known for a while and the conversation led into me being invited to come back to the kingdom hall.
we talked for about an hour during which time i explained to him 607 being the wrong date and a lot of other stuff including the child abuse cases in australia.
but what i wanted to relate was the last few minutes of our conversation.

Bonsai: It's not the innate need to believe that's hard to understand. Most people want to and do believe in something. It's the fervent adherence to the lie when comcrete facts made available prove the contrary which is difficult to comprehend, at least that's my view. I know I've had to shed many ideas or teachings I at one time thought to be factual only to find out that other evidence outweighed my held notions. If I can be receptive to new facts, why can't others? -

Ding: That's actually an excellent analogy. Too bad when it's someone else pointing it out to them it doesn't apply.
Scary21: glad you agree! :D

Go for it Marina. Treat life and leaving the Org like an ammusement park when you were too small to be allowed on some rides. Now that you're free go and ride them all and the ones you love, ride again and again ... -

The Religion Of Rejection - And Now That Includes Me
by dubstepped indue to some recent developments i find myself in a new place, and at this point i've lost all of my family and fri....oh that's right, i never really had any friends in the organization anyway.
just people that wanted something from me and a few people that i would invite to do things that occasionally said yes.
the recent rejections of me got me thinking, so let's take a rejection inventory.. i had to reject all of the holidays when my parents started studying.. i had to reject any worldly friends that i already had.. even family became rejected, and the new religion had some place in that.. i was rejected in school and bullied all of the time, not just because we were poor and i made good grades, but for jw reasons too.

Dubstepped: Hang in their man. You don't need anyone other than yourself to build a life and be succesful once you apply yourself. As others have said, at least you have your wife at your side. I wish you all the best in your future together as free minds. -

The Marvster: few things disrupt lives more than being Df'd ... But I guess what's good for the goose in this case is not good for the gander.
