When I was in bethel I saw old watchtowers and awakes that denounced aluminium, disco music, vaccines etc. The JWs around me thought it was comical and kinda cute, like when you see the Christmas photos of Brooklyn. All I could think about was the people's lives affected by such stupidity. Vaccines for goodness sake !

"on one occasion a large crowd was following a man who had a "talking serpent.
" the serpent gave greetings and spoke in foreign tongues....a brother was passing by, attracted by the commotion, he went to the house to see what was happening.

by snare&racket inone thing i regret, is not listening to the questions in my head whilst a jw.
one i didn't ask until years after leaving was....who designed disease?

Vid, not once have you humbly receded, despite from the very first post being proven to be talking untruths about medical information. You are as dangerous and blood guilty as the Watchtower book company and voodoo doctors. You have consistently repeated untruths and not apologised when shown truth, but changed the topic to more lies. The irony is, the only truth you have stated came from pasted material brought to us from..... Science. Your ever increasing frustration is evident as you turn to name calling and continued repeating of b.s.
Circumsicion prevents aids...... Do you realise how dangerous comments such as this are? How are you different to the pope claiming condoms cause aids? I imagine you are very embarrassed. Don't be, this is not a competition, you want to win, we want you to pick up a book.
Crofty, I am sincerely sorry to here your news. I hope you enjoy the holiday and wish you a recovery soon x
P.s. if I can be of any assistance Crofty please just ask.

A thought for those with believing partners.....
by snare&racket inwhen i was a single male jw i knew between age 22-25 that i had major concerns with the religion.
this had a big effect on my interaction with opp sex in the org.
whenever i got close to someone i would consider the inevitable time that i would have to face my concerns.

I walk the wards every day watching gods insolent anger at work.....
What was worse? A man and woman thinking for themselves HAVING BEEN DECEIVED, or gods response... you can flower your mind with unscriptual 70's and 80's paintings of a shitty looking paradise, but funny how you dont focus on the mound of bodies in gods corner. The disease and pain he has designed due to the fruit incident. Utter childish, early mans thinking, bollocks.
Dont give me the biblical nonsense, i know it well. It is ridiculous and does not add up.
Dont try to use science to back up your embarassing myths. You are once more looking silly. Mitochondrial DNA is from the mother, this does not mean it originated with EVE, scientists using the biblical story refer to it with the name EVE for obvious reasons. The 'God' particle (the higgs boson) is likewise NOT science accepting the biblical tripe. If anything it proves there was no original male, whos mitichondria did Adam have... dont answer this, i know full well its going to be a poor guess from your uneducated thoughts. I just hope to make you think
Thanks for the support Cofty. However, i feel we are flogging a well flogged pile of horse bones.

Also, now they have stopped one of the meetings (book study) they encourage family bible (wt) study more... this makes sense. The book study increases stats, the book study didnt do crap. Just made summer holidays frustrating.

When Cult Behavior Becomes Incoherent
by metatron insooner or later, fanatical religions run off into all sorts of wildly contradictory behavior, as 'faithfulness' ends up, nakedly, as simple obedience to whoever is charge, without regard to principle.. so, catholics ignored free will conversion and killed anyone who wouldn't.
protestants sang 'praise the lord and pass the ammunition'.
witnesses who nearly proclaimed pacifism, were encouraged to beat catholic action disruptors by a wts president (who accused them of being "pussies"), many years ago.. currently, the governing body seems to be on a tear to establish their own arbitrary authority, by command.

I agree with a few points.
The religion is false and lies to its people, bare that in mind as i say this next sentance.
The JW's have lost there spirit. In the 80's it was all fun and excting, a family like atmosphere. Now it is all very business like and cold. This is not by accident, it has come from up top. Fear is the means of fighting a world of information. Its still sad though, to think of fun JW times. Its all gone now..... the cracks are far beyond the foundations. Many JW relatives talk about the desire to leave as it is no longer a nice place to be.
The Jws was once a shelter for single mothers, troubled souls and alike, it has become nothing more than a religion that hibernates its loyal ones, whilst trying to plug the holes of leakage.
Long may the leakage continue, information is power.

Free Will....y
by snare&racket inif you unknowingly went back in time 5 hours and relived that time... would everything that took place, take place again?.
would you make the same decisions?.
you would make the same choices, for the same reason you made them in the first place.. how can you punish someone for making a decision they were always going to make?.
