Carey Mulligan had already stolen my heart by an astonishing performance in the film called "Never let me go". The Borg's motto is "never let them go."

There's creepiness for you Birdy, it sounds like the beginnings of the Watchtower police state with tabs on every individual's potential to expose them...a trial run for the paradise police state to come... -

The Paranormal
by Peony ini'm interested to know if anyone has been to see a medium/clairvoyant since leaving jw's.
i must admit now i can make my own choices i seem to have a fascination with it although haven't acted on it as a) am i just jumping into believing another load of rubbish?
and b) what if it really is the demons pretending to be loved ones!!

Peony, just a thought; you probably have had enough of paranormal beliefs as a JW---why not try NORMAL for a change?---it can be very refreshing!

I'm with you Freemindfade I reckon it's a test sample to see if they can find the causes of JDubs leaving. They then will attempt specific propaganda remedies to counter the problems they uncover...let's hope it is a total failure. -

August Study WT "Prepare Now to be a Good Little Drone in the New Order"
by JW_Rogue ini thought paradise was supposed to be a delight?
not according to the august study wt, on page 20 paragraphs 4-12 it outlines how much paradise will be exactly like being in the org today.
still following rules, waiting on jehovah and obeying those taking the lead.

I think I have just seen a Watchtower death wish in operation.
For those already doubting this could be the last straw. It was for me when I realised that paradise would actually be a living hell under the stranglehold of the GB.

Homo sapiens is also missing (let alone the missing links in between)
by iconoclastic inthe word sapiens (from latin, meaning wise) when applied to humans as final evolute, it is understood that humans manifest wisdom in their day-to-day living.
one of the features of being wise (which means having/showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment) is about replacing wastages with something better.
is this being done with regard to many of the greater aspects of our lives?.

What does your baptism mean to you now?
by GiftsinMen ini was baptised on 1st sept 1990, 25years ago today.
it is still a date with deep meaning for me.
i never dedicated my life to serving any man or any organisation, this was my choice - as a grown adult - to serve my god through jesus christ.

I imagined that serving God was the best thing to do and I also imagined that JWs had “the truth.” It was the required ritual for joining the club...and so I did it.
I have always been essentially irreverent, so I should have dived into the baptismal pool as was my notion at the time. I just wish now that I had been more irreverent and skeptical. That’s the problem with religion...it is no fun...people take idiotic beliefs seriously. I agree with Dawkins that people who hold unsupportable religious dogma should be mocked for it...had I been mocked for doing so; it would have saved me years of heartache.
GIM: for me my baptism is forgotten and meaningless but this is not to condemn those who feel otherwise...we all have our private myths and milestones.

Is the Koran (or, parts of it) older than Muhammad?
by fulltimestudent inislamic tradition rests on a foundation of the (claimed) writings of muhammad, that we know as the koran (or, quran).
so in that view believers see him restoring the original monotheistic faith of all the prophets ( of the west asian tradition).. its important to know that muhammad was born in mecca (in arabia) somewhere around 570 ce.
his parents died when he was young, and he was given into the care of his uncle abu talib.

Certainly a fascinating find in Birmingham. One imagines they will not bomb the library if it were found to be at the earliest date?
The Quran is considered perfect from the aspect of its perfect arabic prose. I wonder how this critique is evident in the Birmingham copy?

Guardians Of Doctrine (GOD) and the Governing Body
by punkofnice ini don't know if gb member g jackson really meant the gb were 'god', with his 'guardians of doctrine' comment at the arc.
it's nice and conspiracy to think so, i suppose.
i honestly don't know.
