My name is Rebel i am a .......?
I am sure we all have our.........that we would shun a person for?

p.s I wish Viviane would shun my "new topics"
many people are understandably upset and angry at the notion that jws have the right to shun people.
it seems such an obvious "no brainer" cruel and inhuman thing to do - it must be wrong ... surely?.
of course we look at things from the perspective of those hurt and harmed by shunning.

today at work i had an interesting set of co workers.
one was telling us about her side job selling sex toys(also a l&d nurse).
the other one, very beautiful, intelligent woman told us of her 2 kids.
JWDaughter," a beautiful intelligent woman, told us of her two kids from Jamaica......"
Many beautiful women are JWs, and they are the same as non beautiful Jws, safe within mother, Mothet is the belly- yes they are intelligent, but as soon as you suggest their faith is crap, you become the insect climbing up a stone.

i have a confession to make.
a strange urge is building in my brain... each time i see a jw literature cart on the street it builds.
it is becoming a stronger and stronger thought in my mind.
Off topic, but I once had a dream, that a thousand of them. Maybe more. Who can count them in a dream? but they came from whenever, and where ever they liked. That was a bad dream

Punk, I appreciate your post, but the truth is I have seen no trace of these " Millions living will never die". Do you think it possible these people vanished in to thin air? Sometimes I think I have seen these millions. When I look up in to the sky against the sun, then I see tiny silver wings fluttered high up to the heavens, millions of them, maybe more. Who can count them? Are these the millions who Charles T Russell, the founder of this crap was talking about would never die before Armageddon?
Anyway his prediction is over 100 years late, and before the earthquake explodes I have smoked sausage and a bottle of wine to open.

Great post Punk, and you make great points. The really sad, pathetic thing though is most of the nine million don't even raise a shadow of doubt against the G.B.
Anyway on the positive, I believe of the 9 million at least two and a half million have that doubt in their ears. That is why I have changed my thinking on simply walking away. I really believe the " resistance" movement is doing its sabotage. I believe each post I make is heard by " enemy" friendly ears.
Any organisation that tells its members not to listern to foreign words has something to hide, and can't win. Our little posts are read, and we do talk, and Mr Jackson and his G.B members can't stop us talking. So who are we doing the talking on this site? We are made up of of Ex Jws from elders,and sisters to ministerial servants, and ex brothers, all united in helping you still in lurkers see that Mr Jackson is just a man, and that the JWs organistion is a cult.
My personal story is I once belonged to this small group of people, I too was one deceived.

Luke 4:38 .And Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon, now Simons mother was suffering from a high fever. And did not Jesus mix with the drunks and the whores, and the hangers on? Did Jesus ever endorse we read books or magazines on how to be righteouse?
Mr Jackson and the rest of the G.B talk about God, and EVERYTHING, and over 9 million people are currently DEDICATED with their life's to these men's NONCENCE. ( INCREDIBLE) These believers are living in a FANTAZY land.

neither, can be proven only to the believer can they exist.
we could therefore say that a persons feelings on god and love are simply chemical reactions produced by the brain.
however what i find interesting is that if a certain part of a persons brain gets damaged their personalities and emotions can radically change.. the rebel..
Cofty" As soon as somebody actually defines what they mean by " God" we can definitely proove it doesn't exist.This is especially true of the God of Christian/Muslim /Jewish theism.
The Rebel (A) The God of Christian/ Muslim/ Jewish theism is an organised religiouse God, that I wouldn't want to travel around with. I see that God more like a un-respectable housewife. But how can you divorce a God you never married in love and never consummated the marriage with? Well Iam in that predicament and I am awaiting my divorce. I married that God, with an arranged marriage at my baptism, but I consider myself divorced. If not officially soon.

Viviane " Do you see the problem?"
Yes I see the problem, When I was 18 I once thought and spoke like you. That wasn't the person I wanted to be, so I bought myself that railway ticket and have travelled around, and discovered my 18 year old thinking was really quite, unattractive.

Cofty you say " I go to great lengths to avoid saying things plainly"
The Rebel. Noted.
Now kindly give me a plain answer to one of the 3 questions I plainly asked you on page two of this thread.
That question COFTY is.
Can the existence of God be explained scientifically?

Thank you for your reply Cofty.
To my question 1 & 2 you answerd Eh? My 3rd question completely lost you.
Now as I write I imagine you as an English gentleman, a pipe smoker, a kind hearted and friendly man, who has immediate understanding and sympathy, for each posters problems and you are keen to teach.
I am sure we each have a perception of the poster we reply to?
So imagine me as a poor refugee with limited education? or imagine me as a psychiatrist? Without this " refusal to visualise each poster, as an individual, with individual education and such thoughts" our comments are ONLY justified from our point of view, and I understand why you said " Eh" to my earlier posts.
