I remember when the Daniel book came out and I remember studying it. Man those were long bookstudies and they were at my house. 90% of it is just mumbo jumbo and you really don't get anything out of it.

What books are JW's studying in Book-Study and what will they next use?
by booker-t ina j'w friend of mine told me that jw's are studying the "pay attention to daniel's prophecies" book again.
isn't this the 4th time they have studied this book since it first came out in 1999?
why all of the fuss over this daniel book?

Having a hard time tonight
by onesong init's been 2 months since i was df'd and 4 months since i've talked to anyone in my family.
for the most part i'm doing real well but every now and then it catches up with me.
ran into my dad today and when i tried to say hi he could only ignore me.. i think the pain and hurt i feel now is more for him, he's in his own world of misery and doesn't even know it.. anyway, i'm a little drunk and depressed and just felt like getting it off my chest.. hope this doesn't bring anyone else down.. namaste'

When you tell someone that you're an ex-Jehovah's Witness...

..are you proud or embarrassed?

I have no problem telling people I am an XJW, that usually follows with why do they believe this and that, I explain and then say you know everytime I explain why they believe this or that, where was my brain? I feel a tinge of anger with myself for allowing myself to be non-thinking and brainwashed for 15 years. There might be a little embarrasment, but everyone makes mistakes, some become alcholics others drug addicts and some marry the wrong person, I belonged to a cult and didn't use my brain for 15 years. I think if I can share my story and save one other person from being sucked into that religion it will be worth my being a little ashamed of myself.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses need Jesus as their Savior?
by Honesty ini have been thinking a lot about how the wtbts downplays jesus in their publications, public talks and general conversation.
i believe they have been conditioned by the organisation to disregard his role in their salvation due, in part to the twisting of the following scripture: romans 6:7 for he who has died has been acquitted from [his] sin.. according to current wt doctrine, if a jw dies faithful to the wtbts before armageddon he/she will have a free ticket into paradise so they really don't need jesus before they die.
also, the wt claims that the jw's can pass unscathed through the destruction of 99.9% of the world's population at armageddon as long as he/she remains loyal to the whims of the watchtower and its ever changing doctrines.

Baptism is what yo do to show you belief in Jesus. Baptism doesn't save you. If yu want to get baptised you don't have to belong to church. You could do it in a spa or a jacuzzi or a big bathtub. You don't have to belong to any specific church to be a christian, but the fellowship is nice.

Would you ever consider going back to the JW''s?
by fullofdoubtnow indedpoet and myself were asked this question last night.
we went round to his local to celebrate my da announcement (made on tuesday 22nd november).
it was his idea, to "drink a toast to freedom", but i was up for it as well, and we ran into a former brother and his girlfriend.

A good spanking now and then if warranted is a good thing. I was spanked a few times as a kid and my kids were spanked a few times when then needed it. They are 21 and 17. They are not agressive. Kids need discipline some you can just talk to others need a good swat on the behind.

How do you feel about promiscuous sex?
by free2beme ini work with a guy who sleep with a lot of different woman, and when i say a lot, i mean a lot!
i know what some are thinking, "oh he probably sleeps with a few and makes it sound like more.
" well i would think that too, if i did not actually meet a lot of these woman and work with some of them and they admit to sleeping with him on a regular basis.

I am a bit old fashioned. I think sex should be for two people who love eachother. They should also be adults. They need to be committed at least mentally if not married.
