Interesting Choice of Words
by piztjw ini get into words, and why certain words are used, and the meaning of certain words as they are used, especially by the wt&t$.
i noticed the way this statement about relief work in the phillipines news article on j.worg was written:.
"an estimated 15 to 20 percent of those seeking refuge at the site are non-witnesses.".

Same sex marriage legalised in the UK at midnight tonight!!!
by DuvanMuvan intitle pretty much explains it all.
lots of people are getting married at midnight tonight.. what do you guys think?
maybe if anyone gets called on by a jw this weekend you can ask them what they think about it.. im just glad because it shows that religion doesn't define our conscience, that basic human decency can prevail over time and hopefully, these types of gradual but big changes will be present in the wts too in the future .

About 10-15 % of sheep are gay... I wonder if gay sheep marriage would destroy sheepkind ?

I have made my decision
by Brother Mike ini'm sure most of you have read bits and pieces of my story throughout the last year being on this site.
i've decided as a human being, and as an adult, i'm going to make the decision on whether to stay with the jw religion or leave it.
i of course have many doubts about the organization which has lead me to do research.

Well done on breaking your mind free xx

P.s. May I suggest you have a Plan B in case things come out or if a leak/suspicion leads to a faster exit. A Plan B that will cover having to make quick desicions and fast choices.

Lurking faithful JWs, here's a question for you to ponder on:
by Island Man inare you in 'the truth', or are you only in 'the current understanding'?.
how long will it be before many of the current teachings peculiar to the organization are rejected as old light and relegated to watchtower's dust bin of old light, out-of-print literature to be expunged from future issues of watchtower library cd-rom?.

JWs AND THE OCCULT!
by ADJUSTMENTS inhttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pcvzpebrkxg.
to go along with this video if you look closely at any cover of the latest wt or aw magazines you will always find (if you take your time) a pyramid or triangle in some shape or form even if it is not completely symmetrical, check it out on the jw website.
also virtually all kingdom hall exteriors will have a pyramid or triangle shaped roof, take a look at your local hall or google kingdom halls.

Triangles are the strongest shape in construction, think about the physics add a force to any edge and it distributes the force to all sides.
This is why triangles are used in construction and weight bearing zones like roofs.

I must add that masons were builders and so arches and triangles and the knoweldge of their use were considered special knowledge to the trade, that became mystical........ but it isn't.....obviously.

What got a bup up my nose...... I don't care if minimus wan't to put his hand in the air and say "don't think or EXPECT to change my mind on religion here!" then I would have thought.... shame, bit sad and a bit stupid...but no laws against that.
But to say "Don't expect this site to change anybody's religious opinion" sounds like something a JW would come and say, with a smirk across their face.
This site HAS changed people's views on religion. You can't be a JW and not come here and have your views on WT or life as a JW changed! How many people have changed the views of theire family and friends JUST by communicating what they have read here?
It is a negative, pessimistic and WRONG view to promote. I can say it is wrong because I know at least one person that had his view changed on his religion by this site.... ME. I used to post under a different name here, years ago.... my posts are as a believer.
Now you will go back and emphasis the word EXPECT. I don't know why this is supposed to make a difference, I have already said that it works, it DOES change people's minds....so why would it be inappropriate to expect it would inform and open minds?
Lastly, I think this is just an attack on the two ends of a bell shaped curve, the atheists and the fundementalists. Having been a fundementalist most of my life and become an atheist....again... I can confirm... it happend.... AND this site influenced it happening.
Let me be clear, if someone can convince me of a god, here or elsewhere.... you will see me believing again.....
