hello everyone, i have some really good news, and just can't hold it in any longer.

my youngest is going off to a university in august, and he will be majoring in business management, and marketing.

when i see what my son is doing with his life, it makes the decision to leave the jws, i made all those years ago, when his older brother was just starting school, all the more worth it.

Just out of curiosity, how many elders (current & ex) do we have here?

hey all, .

this is my first post.

i haven't been out in service or to a meeting in over a month.. i realize now that i've been having serious questions for years and many articles and talks have greatly disturbed me over the years.

I showed my stepson a pbs youtube video for kids about logical fallacies and my wife found out

by SonoftheTrinity in

she told him to never watch that video again, which of course is going to make him even more curious about it, which is exactly what i wanted to happen.

i am giddier than a schoolgirl right now.

even the watchtower propaganda says to be careful and respectful with questioning teens and middle-schoolers in the congregation, and she comes up and does the opposite.

PBS = PUBLIC BROADCASTING from SATAN.

Nature shows that mention EVOLUTION.

Shows about USING YOUR BRAIN TO THINK ABOUT THINGS.

Sesame Street features THE COUNT who is a BLOODSUCKING MATHEMATICIAN.

My mother would make me turn off PBS too when shows started talking about evolution; and when I was really young, she would turn off Sesame Street if "the Count" came on because he "drank blood."

Is the Bible God's word? Help please.....

so real quick, i know this comes up now and then and i've looked over some of the posts from the past but here's the thing.. when i was a jw i drank all the cool aid, i was 100% and so i have all my own arguments (from the jw's) for why the bible is inspired.

i no longer believe this but i'd really like to read something that is pretty much 100% academic on this subject.

i want to read what scholars have to say about the authenticity of the bible and it's claim at being the inspired word of god.

slimboyfat Robert M Price the Bible Geek he is the best! I've listened to all his podcasts.
And don't forget his lesser known podcast The Human Bible!

The Human Bible is also an excellent podcast. A little better "production values" than Bible Geek, but the information in both is great. He also seems like a good guy (had an email exchange with him a couple years back).

xjwsrock I heard about this book on a podcast I plan to read -
God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction
by Dan Barker

I was thinking of ordering this book myself. Looks like an interesting read.

I've also enjoyed listening to "The Bible Geek" podcast.

Is wife beginning to turn around?

by StarTrekAngel in

so some may have read the long and boring post about our last vacation and some of the things that my wife came to tell me during our time away.

i am adding the link here but i can summarize it for time's sake.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5768475763015680/vacation-time-reality-closing-up-on-my-wife.

in a nutshell, right before we left, we found out of a jw couple we know well.

Having No Political Opinion Is Bull Crap

by Ame SF in

hello, i'm ame and after such heartwarming feedback last time from my other topic sharing my current situation, i felt the urge to just share an experience of mine that accrued a few weeks ago.. i was at mcdonalds with my mother and little brother, eating our food and in the background was the news playing on the tvs they had in the dining area.

and what were they talking about on the news?.

gun control.. now, i love the news.

Sweden. Guns are illegal in Sweden, but yet they have a higher crime rate than america.

Umm. . . . somehow I doubt this.
