If anyone could figure out how to get JWs into that country and not they be immediately arrested, they probably would have experiences mentioned.

if god hates wars...why does he use a war to end them???
by highdose inthis question occurred to me the other day.
the classic jw presentation is all about how religon starts wars in gods name, how awful they are blablabla, and how soon god will end all these wars.... with a war!

Funny Watchtower Article on Homosexuality
by garbonzo intranssexualism is a word appearing with growing frequency in the news.
a transsexual is not merely a transvestite (one who dresses in clothes of the opposite sex), nor necessarily a homosexual (though that may be the case).
a transsexual is a person who rejects the sex with which he or she was born and takes up the life of the other sex.

steve2-I understand the hermaphrodite conundrum, there is a physical problem going on. I have even heard of cases of circumcision gone horribly awry, and the victim being assigned to be a female for life. I'm glad there are strigent protocols involved to help people who truly feel they are the wrong sex, trapped in the wrong body. Still, the permanance! I'm afraid to any kind of aestetic surgeries because of the risk involved, much less having a remodeling of my genitals!

steve2-Funny you should suggest Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I bought a book on this very subject about 2 weeks ago and am currently reading it, when I can get it away from hubby, it is fascinating. I have been trying to apply some of the techniques to myself, and it is quite amazing. Some parts remind me of the old time Native American lessons of embracing the icy cold, cold weather, in order to learn to live in the cold. I remember doing this as a kid in Minnesota, rather than shivering to death, welcome the cold, note how the cold feels, and then, it isn't so cold anymore.
This is a far cry from gender identity problems, to be sure. You state that it gives you a queasy feeling over something like an arm amputation, I guess I have the same feeling regarding genitalia, once it is altered and gone, there is no going back, no changing your mind. The permanance of the procedure is scary.

ATF-You are so right, happiness is attainable from within and the admonishon to read about happiness is right on.
wallsofjericho-Your post is right on, everyone that is a JW is miserable, complaining about everything. The cessation of guilt thing was so true with me. It felt really good to let go of the guilt inducing things this summer. I felt like the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders...but then, it was! I no longer felt responsible for saving 7 billion people by preaching to them about their impending destruction.

Was there recently a thread here where a someone had her attorney send a letter to her congregation preemptively to avoid having her name read from the stage? I believe she was successful in her quest and actually sued someone in the cong. later for slander.
