Well of course you are. I mean, its obvious. And the only difference between you and a lunatic is that you are not a lunatic.

some of you know that i have stated i am amoral.
that means that i have no moral system.
no ethical system either.

by "religious experience" i mean a moment, an incident, where you felt that god was directly addressing you thru a public talk, a watchtower article.
did god give you a "sign" that convicted you of the truth of "the truth"?.
my mother told me about one she had.
tdogg makes a great point. It is possible to have a feeling of spirit direction, even for a Witness, or, for that matter, for a Muslim, Fundie, or Orthodox Pagan. Whatever explains the phenomenon, it seems to be independent of religious belief, or lack thereof. This was an important point for me to acknowledge, because it was a feeling of being spirit directed that led me to become a Witness.
Not acknowledging this forces Witnesses and other bigots to attribute the sacred experiences of others to Satan, mental illness, or indigestion. Sad.

hello, i am new to this website, but have to be straightforward and say that i do not agree with most subjects and contents.
i am an active jehovah witness, but i am very lonely so i am looking for others with the "hope" or to speak to those that know someone that does.
it has been a long , hard road for me.
Has anyone ever wondered if the number of partakers is actually much higher than reported? After all, just a handful of people at Brooklyn would be sufficient conspiracy.
Fact free speculation invited.

Lotus, I'm new here as a poster (ancient as a lurker) but still I'm going to stick my oar in and have an opinion: You are either -
a troll, wasting our time and getting jollies, in which case go f*** yourself.
have had a spiritual experience of some kind, in which case go f*** yourself and then find another religion
A True Believer, in which case go f*** yourself and then get yourself some good counselling.
Gee, I sound a little angry don't I? Maybe it's because of all the pain in my life caused by an abusive cult. Maybe I don't like the condescending tone of somebody claiming to be one fo the "faithful and discreet slave" promising things will be better without fessing up to being wrong lying losers who've stolen lives. In any event, you're in the wrong place - not many here are going to have much respect for someone claiming a direct line to God, and offering no proof or anything of value.

yesterday an announcement was made at my local con.
and i thought i`d share it.. the watchtower announced that work on the new cd-rom is in progress and we can expect it at the end of this year.. unlike the other versions you can`t get away with win 3.1, you`ll now need at least win95.. available languages: the one already available + tjech and japanese.. some of it`s features:.
- one window (instead of several).
One little detail to check on the new CD, when somebody actually has one: how are they handling the Charles Greber references? Leave them out, and they provide a lot of ammo for apostates. Index them, and it still looks pretty bad. Or no change?

There is a quote of Alan Moore's that seems relevant here: "The one place gods indubitably exist is in human minds."

is paragraph 11 on page 12 of the april 1 watchtower an indication that candidates will no longer be baptised in the name of the organization any longer?.

This second question is one of the most remarkable examples of going beyond scripture - much more important than smoking or (gasps!) oral sex prohibitions.
