sat on the sound again, listening to this twaddle about the governing body, hearing the parrotted answers and cursing my stupidity and ignorance for the decades in which i did the same.
posting on here during a meeting is fun!
you guys are a great support group.
I just came home from working in a gp surgery, training as a doctor, come home to coffee, nice bit of dinner, gonna chill with a film,but first a bit of GTA 5.
oh and I am in cosy cloathes..... Hmmmm... Looking forward to spending week with exjw family having xmas.
oh i miss being a JW.....NOT.
if youre bored.....why not turn up the echo? ;) hang in there man you are braver than I used to be, if you stay smart and leave the JW's, life will work out, really.
it disheartens me the most when there is a possibility that faithful, hardworking, honest witnesses may be destroyed or be put out of god's favor.
a lot of brothers and sisters have risked their lives because they thought they were doing the right thing to please them.
so for those who still believe in god/afterlife, do you think that these witnesses are out of god's memory?
I say they are as much in gods memory as anyone else is......

pursue divine education:some of our brothers are pursuing higher education, feeling that they can acquire a measure of financial security.
as you are aware, the educational system varies from country to country.
This says much about how they think and the role they have taken on, they believe they have the right to dictate to a parent, who then must dictate to their child, how to live their life snd plan their future. It is not even the parents desicion, its the childs... It certainly isnt the 8 strangers in brooklyN desicions.
ive been pondering my beliefs for a while now and ive come across things that i just cant accept.
i was recently walking with a christian who stated that the universe couldnt just come from nothing.
he said that the universe was so complex that it needed a designer, he also said something which ive heard before.
Good work, keep researching ;) it is so nice to watch a mind become more independent xxx
discovery of 1.4 million-year-old fossil human hand bone closes human evolution gapdec.
16, 2013 humans have a distinctive hand anatomy that allows them to make and use tools.
apes and other nonhuman primates do not have these distinctive anatomical features in their hands, and the point in time at which these features first appeared in human evolution is unknown.
In the last 3 yesrs there have been many such finds, tsking the evolution story further back than thought. I have not heard of any fakes in these cases, but it is important to be skeptical. I see no problem with the findings, our texts on the history of human ancestory is based on fossil finds, the more we find the more informstion we have, it is predictable to say we should find more evidence that will adjust our dates current timeline, exactly as we do.
peace to you!.

Ok, no more word games... No more jumping point to point..
This is what your bible says ....
"Every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne to the firstborn of the female slave who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the livestock. 6 Then there will be a loud cry throughout the whole land of Egypt, such as has never been or will ever be again."
yes or no Tec, was it immoral to kill all the innocent firstborn children of egypt ?
check out this gem from the dec 2013 km which explains why it's good to over this book a second go round.. "congregations previously considered this book during 2004 and 2005. however,for many of the approximately two million publishers who have come into the truth since then,this will be the first time that jehovahs endearing qualities have been discussed in detail.for those who studied the book before, the review will help them to deepen their appreciation forjehovahs attributes.ps.119:14".
i gotta kick out of this because i can only think of maybe two or three new ones in our congregation who weren't present when this book was first studied.
at the same time, going over jehovah's qualities isn't something new.

It frustrates me to think of ALL those hours wasted. I was doing work for my degree one sunday afternoon, reading over some cardiology. I was at my sisters, a JW. I noticed the Sunday study watchtower and had a look, it was talking about who wrote the bible and t it postulated that angels could not write the bible as they had no human emotions... my mind first went to 'but angels were attracted to women before the flood and they interact with human like qualities throughout the bible, that is a nonsense point' then it dawned on me.... What a bloody waste of time, I felt like telling myself to shut the F up! the irony of studying cardiology whilst JW's debated why angels couldnt write the bible, hit me hard, what a waste of all those hours, days, years, discussing and studying regurgitated nonsense, spouted out by 8 window cleaners in Brooklyn and their pet writing department...
What utter insignificant bullsh*t !
Ok so back to managing atrial fibrillation, we have electronic or medical cardioversion.....

me just learning the truth about the truth has just made it hard to even get through a two hour meeting at the the kingdom hall.
i get so sleepy during them and i almost cannot contain it!
the last time i went to a convention, i was still an avid believer but as you can see, that has changed.
The dude abides.... It was a fine rug....
peace to you!.

What victims of sodom and gromorrah?
Tec I can't decide if you are doing gymnastics with your beleifs or your mind, but it is becoming wilder by the answer,
There is no defence in taking ANY innocent life, be you a human or a deity.
You can disagree all you wish Tec, it just makes me question the sincerity of you closing words to every post "Peace" whislt you unsuccessfully defend quite the opposite. This conversation is valueless as you disagree with the consensus that a god would not have the right to kill people or request human sacrifices as he wills it. If you beleive the bible ...he peformed mass genocide in the flood, killed the firstborn of all of egypt, killed the child of david and Bathsheba, instructed the armies of moses to kill infants and cildren in the womb, slicing open the bellies of pregnant women.
Copy and paste my reply and answer with predictable christian apologetics that dont belong to you but have been repeated for centuries all you wish, but everytime you conclude with "Peace" you tarnish the word deeply and I hope one day you are brave enough to be honest with yourself about the true meaning of peace... Your god kills babies, you ought to be damn ashamed of thst Tec, damn ashamed..... Stop defending acts of terror and hatred and murder whilst signing off your defence with 'peace' it is beyond oxymoronic.
