as some of you may know, i'm a pretty troubled lad who was on the verge of getting baptised but stopped when i learned the shocking truth about the organization.
following that my own mother let me have it in anger to my decision.
since then, my life has been true hell.. .
The elders are only guys, nothing more. Don't cloak them with the attributes of Israelite Priests; the fact is that the Israelite Priests were only guys too, with the benefit of hundreds of years of image-polishing. So don't be stunned by ANYTHING your "elders" do, if they screw up, they will be the first to tell you that they are "just IMPERFECT men" prone to err -- and they forgive EACH OTHER, which is a nice gig.
Unlike most who post here, I will give you your secret key to freedom. Keep this a secret until the day you use it and it will work for you. The secret exit key is that the day you turn 18 you join the US military (I am assuming you live in the US). You seem smart... if you REALLY are smart you will apply yourself in school and pursue improving your physical fitness: Don't let the old "bodily training is beneficial for a little..." mantra disuade you. Be low-key about it, but strive to improve yourself in ALL ways.
When you join the military, they will offer you tests to help them decide where to put you. You want to score as highly on these tests as you possibly can so that you are not seen as a mere grunt. Remember this advice, it is your key to personal salvation. WHY? Because the Watchtower thinks you have NO options. If you are in your parents' home you are under their rules. So you LEAVE their house and become your own man.
There are times I wish I had this advice 50 years ago, but I didn't.

he was just a human as much as i and you are.
he is just a person who started a process of digging and searching for bible truths.
" outdated and irrelavant (sic)" = WRONG

"Ticket To Heaven"
a fantastic homo erectus skull has been found in georgia - no not our former colony, the one in asia.. it is one of 5 that have been found at a site in dmanisi, it's the first homo erectus to be found outside of africa and it is in excellent condition.
the fossils are dated at 1.8 million years ago and comparisions of the specimens have thrown doubt over the details of human evolution.. it is possible that species previously named as h rudolfensis , h gautengensis , h ergaster and possibly h habilis were actually all h erectus.
the natural variation withing the species may be greater than thought previously.. the "lumpers" and the "splitters" are going to have plenty to argue about for years to come.. note to creationists - please read the article carefully.
"Religion is actually Science 2.0."
Actually, religion is Science 0.0.
Give me an example of ONE SINGLE THING that religion has done to improve the life of mankind. I say there are no such examples.
Religion has always been and shall always be a snare and a racket; a con game played by power brokers to keep "the herd" under control.
i do.. what does the soceity actually say about them?
(i know some the members of the gb use them) .
what do you think about using them at meetings?
Only among Jehovah's Christian Witnesses do you see an effort made to dumb-down EVERYTHING to the lowest common denominator rather than raising all in the congregaion to a higher level of intelligence, thoughtfulness and understanding. The WTB&TS kowtows to the uneducated, superstitious, nosey and mean-spirited, whom they permit to lead others by "taking offense". These spiritual weaklings need a spiritual slap in the face and stronly-worded instructions to grow up.
my favorite compliment of the day.
what a lot of assumptions people have about what makes an atheist tick..
THAT is when you kick 'em in the nuts.
tonight at our meeting we had 4 letters from "the branch" read at our meeting.
i was caught off guard since we usually have an advance warning when these letters are going to be read.
is the watchtower getting better at hiding these letters?.
Be on the watch for the NEXT Branch Letter announcing that Brother James Jackon will be cleaning the toilets at JWN next week.
