I am banned from commenting on TheocraticResearch's youtube chanel. I guess he didnt like when I told everyone the invisible presence of christ came in 1874.

19Just owned (and pwned) a Jehovah's Witness website owner! Must Read!
by garbonzo inso i emailed the owner website that sells various jw and creationsit stuff, a guy who is supposedly a jw with these simple words:
why is your website so hard to navigate?
to which he must have taken negatively, and went on the defensive in an instant.

it has been a long time since i have posted.
time heals much pain, and finally, my family and i have been able to move on with our life outside of jw land.. many of you became our friends, our support system, and you know very well our exit story...we were labeled, slandered and disfellowshipped for having questions regarding the date 607. we sent out letters exposing the elders and circuit overseer to over 200 families.

I really needed a nice story like this today. I added her on facebook; she will be added to a long list of great musicians who escaped the borg. I am not sure, but she might be the first country star.

Letter to the Writing Department from Barbara Anderson
by Dogpatch ini thought i knew you.
an open letter from barbara anderson to watch towers writing department.
in 1517, martin luther wrote in a letter to archbishop albert of mainz: you must graciously forgive that i, that scum of the earth, am so bold as to dare to address a letter to you.. yes, i know, you think of me as scum, just like mainz believed of luther, wondering how i dare write you a letter, someone jehovahs witnesses disfellowshipped back in 2002. i was accused of being an unrepentant sinner and condemned for causing divisions, then labeled apostate because i spoke out publicly on nbcs dateline tv program aboutthe child sexual abuse policies that protected pedophiles policies that you helped formulate.

Great letter....Say what you want, but if I worked at Bethell, curiosity would have got the better for me, I would have read it.

Anybody here every operate a franchise?? Need advice.
by diana netherton inthere's a sub place that i know will make a killing where i live...the subway here is always.
full and this place offers much better fare; fresher ingredients and real cuts of meat.. anyway, it looks like the start up costs are around 100,000...has anyone here ever.
do banks lend money for these ventures?

Subway is a hard competitor...cheap ingredients and they were listed as having one of the lowest franchise fees, the last time I looked, around 7%. Most chains in good locations make money, but I think you have to have the capital yourself plus a loan, but id research that.

Right cofty....doesnt that love of christ just give you goose bumps(pimples)? My Christian friends tell me all the bad/negative stuff is in the OT. Sorry to be off topic, but I really think the life and work of Jesus needs more scrutiny than most give it. You see videos or read books about how great christ is, but if we followed his word here, we would all be dead or in prison.

I feel the love of Christ when I read Matthew 15:4. I wish everyone would live with those words in mind.

12% of JWs Think Gay Is OK? Really?
by metatron ini was reading pat buchanan's book, "suicide of a superpower".
on page 71, he speaks about the growing acceptance of homosexuality amidst religions.
he claims that 12% of jw's think gay behavior is ok.. really?

It should also be noted that 12% is lowest number of any of the churches. 24% of mormons think it is ok to be gay.
http://religions.pewforum.org/comparisons#
CLick on social views, then gays.
52% of witness think abortion shoul be illeagal in all cases.....That is the highest % of all groups.
