We Should Give Newbies the Benefit of the Doubt
by flipper inconsidering what has gone on at this board the last couple months, i thought this would be good to discuss !
it's true that some here are somewhat jaded and untrusting of others because of the deception pulled by " trevor" and the whole " trevorgate " thing.
that being said and acknowledged however , think about what makes us not trust others as ex-witnesses.

Women should
by John Doe inbe silent.
when they speak, they ought first to have permission from their husband.
if they are unmarried, then that is even greater reason for them to remain silent.

Your World View
by Mincan ini recognised before i ever left the witnoids that once you did everything in your worldview would be unraveled.
as soon as i did make the decision it was bs, this began immediately.
i started to learn about all the things i had not been able to before for one reason or another.. major worldview shifts when leaving wt:.

Yes interesting....
When they take away the "thought controls"....what are your thoughts?
The "Fun" thing about being a witless thinking is not required....You have the group mind "The Borg's mind."
Now it's like learning a foreign lanuage, in is a little uncomfortable in the begining, but well worth the effort.
Time to learn to think my friend.

"Light Gets Brighter"
by new boy inthe wt says the bible warns us about false prophets (matt.
7:15)....and tells us we can see if they if they are false, if they say that they speak for god and make predictions in his name....yet the predictions don't come true.....the society has given no less then 6 dates for end of the world, the last being 1975.. plus false prophets change their minds on what god thinks too.. resurrection of men of sodom.
1879- they will be resurrected.

Separating the "sheep and the goats"

1923- is taking place now, before the tribulation.

I know the "light gets brighter".....but I guess God is on a dimmer switch some times!

"Some of us are prisioners...Some of us are guards...
by new boy inyou may feel trapped right now by life conditions.. you are the only jail keeper that surfaces in your own life.. whenever you realize that you have the power to be free, freedom follows.. everything that you do in life is by choice, and you are free to choose again.. even prisioners are free to choose their thoughts so that they feel peace and happiness under any conditions.. love is the only answer....love of self and love of others.....even those who my be guards.

The greatest illusion on the planet is that of separation....we are all the the same.
By sending love to those who who are locked into some kind of mind set, we free ourselfs of judgement.....and we are able to say "That, but for the grace of god go I." That under different circumstances the person we hate so much could be me .....Was that not what the great teacher said "Forgive them...for they know not what they do"
They were not "conscience" of what they were doing, as we have done things to others we were not "conscience" of.
Love is the greatest thing...
Everything in this world is done out of love or fear.
No mater what happens to you, ask the question "What would love....do now?"
