a letter was read today from bethel addressed to all congregations in britain that can only be described as the biggest news for years.the main points:.

Erm..... Remember that recent new USA wide request of a minimum monthly pledge from every member because of all the kingdom halls to be built.......and now, what two months later, the UK has an opposite request, selling them all off and squishing 4 congregations into one.

Does God have old age dementia?

Does God hate brits?

Is this new new light?

Is the chariot in reverse?

Are the current members so lacking in courage that they humble themselves still. before the mighty hand of an obvious financial con?

Walk away people, while you have a chance to start a pension.....

Science is right in its details, but wrong in its direction

by exWTslave in

science observes, studies and analyses the basic nature of all the components constituting the part of any experiment, follows the principle of cause and effect, and come out with equipments that would contribute to our comfort and save us lots of time and energyall of which are ultimately aimed at making life on this earth happier, longer and healthier, thus making this world a better place to live.. yet man day-by-day becomes more and more unhappy and discontented, and world is becoming bitter and bitter!

it means: though science is right in its details, it has gone wrong in its direction.

it failed to rightly judge and assess the true nature of its prime object (man) for whom it works.

Humankind has never lived so well, been so secure, been so healthy, had such quality of life, been so safe...

Your view of the world could not be more alien to what most people think. It is a false image the Watchtower sold you as do many religions,and you have not questioned.

Name just one year in history when life was better than it is now........

Is that the sound of a penny dropping?

The old men that run watchtower live as all aged humans, with yearning for their youths. That melancholy for today's world was suffocating as a JW and it was also untrue. The world hasn't gone mad, our grandparents grew up on world wars, mass pandmedics and atom bombs. The Victorians had war, disease and the industrial revolution that offered living conditions and quality of life from hell.... Shall I continue? ....

comment from an uber dub regarding the $13.5 sex abuse case will just blow you away.

by joe134cd in

i was talking to an uber dub friend last night who lives in the san diego area.

he knew nothing of the $13.5 million dollar law suit.

when i tried to tell him that this is a systemic problem, and that this could perhaps be the tip of the ice burgh.

Briliant guys, I have prepared the questions and done some early work on it. I really need to see some more heavy hitters from the forum get involved though. People happy to be seen and heard. Those that want to disguise themselves, that's totally fine, but we need some visible people,too, let them see we are normal, nicel good intentioned, let them see us and hear that we felt the same we did and what happens when you dare to question, dare to leave.

It was worth leaving the JE's, life is so much better and my only regret is that I didn't do it earlier..... People,need to hear that From us all.

Great can't leave.

Really need a diverse range of people from on here. With the thinking of an average JW in mind, it would be great to get some

Bethelites

Elders

Pioneers

Gilead

etc

I want to make THE documentary that JW's find when they Google JW.ORG. A long documentary with nothing but people talking from their hearts about what they experienced and pouring out all the information we wish we had as a JW.

I have written a set of questions, if you would like to record yourself answering the questions, let me know about your interest. I would much appreciate it.

I would release the video on YouTube for free and it will cover all the major topics disussed here.

Could I have a look see who would be interested In partaking?

I would ask that everyone buy a cheap HD web cam (20$) and a microphone to ensure a minimum standard of quality, but if you really can't afford it we could sort something.

so what are you doing to enjoy yourself?

Learning new things.

I realised what that feeling was when I look up at the stars, see a mountain vista, watch the ocean...... In the presence of such apparent infinity we appear so very finite. The subconscious triggers fear, awe and motivation all at once. Time is precious.

I know I will die with questions about the universe that will never be answered. We will possibly know those answers some day and we will all be gone. This post may remain somewhere but we will not.

This all motivates me to learn as much as I can. I am intrigued by the questions and get excited by the answers.

Geek basically!
