  as one of the knowledge-seekers who has not had the means or opportunity to do a lot of research i have benefitted greatly from the work of alan, jan and some some others.. i have a question concerning the different "paths" which are followed on the way "out" of the dubs.

  how many paths are there?

  how does one find the questions to ask - without getting stuck in a direction?.

  as one of the knowledge-seekers who has not had the means or opportunity to do a lot of research I have benefitted greatly from the work of Alan, Jan and some some others.

  I have a question concerning the different "paths" which are followed on the way "out" of the dubs. How many paths are there? What are the stages along the way for each? Is it totally different for everyone?

  I ask since I am still at a "I have no clue" stage. I have no idea what to believe, where we came from, does God exist or how to even begin reconciling these things in my own mind. As I have posted previously I find myself as an agnostic right now but I do not even know what questions to ask? Knowing which questions to means I have accepted a DIRECTION. How can I accept a direction if I do not know where I am trying to get to? So I guess I am stuck!! How does one find the questions to ask - without getting stuck in a direction?

  The only thing I can resolve at this point is that I will try and do what is good for myself and for others. I find myself hyper-crtical of people with a religious-bent or spiritual-inclination. then I think to myself - does that mean I picked a DIRECTION by means of elimination?

  It seems as if people either reject religious leanings on their way out or they cling to hybrid notions of God/Jesus and either join religious groups or form a personal form of devotion.
  What makes some take one path versus another? Are there other paths?

  For me right now "I just exist". I have no hope for the future and I have no idea about anything else.

  Double Standards - Where is the line drawn?

  by msil in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was happy when the yadrif was given the boot - we never needed the spread of hatred and name calling.

  it seemed as though everyone felt the same way.. i find it hypocritical that as long as you are "influential in the xjw community" or if you run a big anti-jw website you can call anyone names and you can post any obscene drivel as long as it is a song which you dedicate other posters.. i find it ironic that a "well-respected" poster (and i could give a damn what his past actions or brave deeds are, or what fancy essays he wrote) would call me a biggot in chat for asking simple questions but then he would defend the stuff kent wrote in reference to aguest.

  i don't give a damn if it was written by frank zappa or some other crack-smokin' loser - the fact that they are song lyrics is irrelevant.

  It seems hypocritical of Simon to let this shit go on so long. As long as the posters site is linked at the bottom of this page he then has carte-blanche permission to call anyone names or write hateful things about others. I and many others would expect fair treatment and have Kent banished or suspended just as Yadrif was. Where is the line, Simon? What is the difference?

  Simon - if you choose to you can delete my ID for speaking out against the "super-fine apostles" - I don't really care since the site is not proving valuable to anyone any longer.

  Dear Farkel,

  I just got here and the first thing I saw was this thread and I just groaned and opened it up and there was your confirmation of my worst fears for you. All I can say is this:

  Please be strong. Please cry a lot. Please recall every memory. Please wish for your dad every minute of the day. Please have NO regrets. Please think about what he wanted for you. Please fulfill all his desires he had of you. Please think about any dreams he never saw come true and make them come true through you. Please never forget him and always love him.

  ....and please remember we are all here for you.

  Tell them that everytime you shave you feel this incredible urge to masturbate and you just can't resist whacking the pony. Then ask them whether you should shave or not.

  Kent and Ozzie,

  You are both missing the point. What we should be asking is how do we get on board the boat to sell our magazines?

  These people also have a right to know that they will die if they do not do what we say.

  Please show love to these people and sell them as many magazines as possible.

  Prejudice and being a JW

  by MrMoe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  prejudice stems from fear.

  often people are afraid of what they do not understand.

  perhaps jw's are persecuted as they say, but they persecute others as well.

  Mr Moe: "Prejudice stems from fear"

  This is generalist BS thinking - ever consider that we do not have to like some people (in this statement when I use the word "WE" I mean mankind in general - not JW's). Who says everyone has to like everyone else?

  How do you determine the difference between blatant dislike from prejudice?

  I dislike plenty of people - that make me prejudiced? Probably (according to your generalist thinking) - but it is NOT because I am fearful of them.

  One could just as easily turn your BS reasoning around as follows:

  Anyone who does not have the fortitude to dislike (I figure this fits your definition of prejudice) someone else does so out of FEAR for being called prejudiced.

  i know it is unusual to post a site for promoting business, but let me tell you that i'm sure bill bowen and his wife sheila would sure appreciate your business, since they don't have much coming in to help out with bill traveling and all.

  they have the highest quality candles on their website.

  show them you appreciate their hard work exposing the pedophiles!.
