well, i sat thru day 2 of the latest circuit assembly.
instead of having the co or do re address the "generation" confusion, they had a couple of brothers do a demonstration.
mocha break out in service, weaker brother mentions he's tired....all of the changes lately, the confusing new understanding of that generation, et al.
I Dont get it.... Are they gonna start protecting known but not publicly known apostates? Are apostates going to be kept on a database and protected by Jw rules? Are apostates going to be quietly shuffled off to support another kingdom hall? Can apostates only be punished if seen by more than one witness laughing at Outlaws posts?
Comparing us to paedophiles will just confuse elders....
would you like to know where to start and what books to read?.
feel free to ask any questions about evolution.
it concerns me that a minority of people who admit not reading the theory or it's evidence, muddy the waters of this forum with their gut feelings and ignorant self experiments.

mary: what's evolution?.
me: well it's kinda complicated.
they think plasma gave birth to monkeys which gave birth to humans.
I can't be arsed reading 13 pages of ignorance, but let me summarise...
If you can't answer Mary's grade school year one questions either A you haven't read the explanation in evolution where you will see why monkeys don't give birth to humans and when and how we know communication developed, or B you are as intelligent as ...plasma, ironic evidence of your ancestry.
Why leave the JWs if you insist on promoting uneducated bullshit when you leave.
Why so hard to say "I don't know Mary, let's read some books and see if they can answer your questions."
Guess what, it's right there in the books!
P.s. this thread is clearly fake, kids don't talk like that, also wtf is plasma ?
hello, you sexy sassy posters of jwn.
i'm starting this thread in the hopes of finding... uh, hope.... and sharing it with others who are in a similar boat.
i'm looking for input from anyone who meets the following criteria:.
Do it! It will be the best thing you ever do.
Was a Jw, a pioneer, bethelite. Had questions, left, did high school exams again at age 26, did college 27, got into medical school 28 and I'm not far off finishing now 4 years on.
I have friends in med school with kids, hard but coping. Education is so very valuable to your life and an amazing example for your family. Hawkins, Dawkins, Darwin and Hitchens await you....

you won't read this one in the wt.... homicide is no longer a leading cause of death in the united states, the centers for disease control and prevention reports.. the leading causes of death in 2010 remained the same, the cdc reported, except for one: homicide.
for the first time since 1965, homicide is not in the top 15 list of causes of death in the united states.. http://www.huliq.com/10473/homicide-no-longer-top-killer-united-states-cdc-reports.

Here's an interesting thought that occurred to me, in the end there will be lovers of money, no natural affection, children disobedient to parents, drunkards, thieves, revilers bla bla bla....
Is this all new?
Go to the start of the bible and see the 600+ laws in place.... Children repect your parents, theft, fornication etc = death.
There you have it, humans have a always been the same! If they still don't believe you, sigh and ask when in history was better than the world today?
disease, life expectancy, inequality, wars, living standards, quality of life, personal security... Watch them go very quiet because they know the answer...2012
australia bethel in the 1940's was making big money!
they used "bethelites" to run 2 bakeries, a saw mill, 20 "kingdom" farms and an engineering company.
bethel arranged to wash soldiers uniforms at their laundry???
I was blown away by the German yearbook that supported the Nazis in the late 30's. The society published an apology in the 90's because if statements they made about Jews. No wonder the Aussies were worried...
hello x. i have stopped researching the bible, having come to the conclusion it is all ball-bags, but something that still doesnt seem to make sense to the jw story and interests me, is jewish mythology.. the idea that the jews arrived "hello world" and then were eventually given commandments to follow and that they were then a bit naughty at times, until the man in the sky's test tube bay son came down and parted ways with the falafel people.. doesnt explain their belief system.. the jews have heaps of beliefs and laws that have no connection to the bible or god.
for example the story of lilleth.. does anyone know much about the lilleth story, where it originated?.
any other interesting jewish myths and beliefs that are interesting?.
Thank you xxx
VerY interesting read! X
