Well looks like I am too late to post the similarities to the Mormons. I see that has already been well covered!

Whatever happened has a lesson for us!

by Kalos in

when my dad left jws, his stoic remark was: it was not a total wastage; after all i learned something good about the witnessestheir resolve to continue with their original claim that they are the appointed channel of god, even when they know in their heart of hearts that they are not.

why cant i imitate that sort of resolve in doing something worthwhile?

he thus echoed confucius who said: to be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.. a poor choice we made, some obstructions or some resistance are almost always viewed with fear and anxiety.

If that is true then why cant Jehovah "let go" of what Adam and Eve did to him?

What does Confucius know about successful living that God doesnt?

I am not being sarcastic - even though the above could be taken that way.

I seriously would like to know why I am supposed to let go of things that elders have done but God doesnt let go and I pay the price for him not doing so.

What you wrote is a beautiful "idea" in theory Kalos but I feel frustrated as to just how to execute it.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience Zack. I am having a hard time moving past being angry and frustrated.

Your post helps me in much the same way that Ray Franz helped you, so thank you.

last year it was a big thing in our congo.

this year i haven't heard it at all.

is it being streamed this year?.

Still not understand that "zone visit" concept at all.

If U.S. is the world headquarters and where the GB are stationed, why do they need a visit? And who from?

Do they visit themselves?

How Has Turning Athiest/ Agnostic Affected You?

by minimus in

many jws believed in god.

now many here, do not believe in a deity.

how has this affected you in your life?.

millie210, I am older but tender - and still disappoint you?

You could never disappoint Steve!

That is the trick I think...to stay tender (as in open and responsive) to new ways of thinking and new people, new ideas etc.

Barbara Anderson seems to have done a masterful job of that I think.

She has taken all the passion and zeal she had in the organization and uses it to promote the falsehoods she found.

Me, I am still trying to sort it all out.

The Blatant SEXISM of Watchtower!

by Island Man in

from my yahoo answers question here: .

"the bible says of deborah: "now deborah, a prophetess, the wife of lappidoth, was judging israel at that time.

5 she used to sit under the palm tree of deborah between ramah and bethel in the hill country of ephraim; and the sons of israel came up to her for judgment.
