  i like her videos about self-injury and other mental and physical problems, that could happened to young people.... she say that she is an active jw and regularly visit the meetings and go to service.. http://www.youtube.com/user/idranktheseawater.

  but... what can you say about her wearing and hair style?.

  it's cool, but it's "non-spiritual" style, not for "true" jw, isn't it ?!

  Wow... busted!

  'I'm the person on the video'. haha.

  Reminds me of the police saying 'Why are people unwilling to believe we can figure out how to look at Facebook?'

  Anyways... you look like my English teacher in high school. It's a good look!

  I'll refrain from making my standard joke about stalking you, lol.

  All the best!

  JW`S policys are bad , but their are worse , ISLAM for instance and it`s anti women ,anti progress stance.

  by smiddy in

  2. current

  we think we were in a destructive cult (and we were ) however their is a far larger destructive cult by the name of islam./ muslim two young teenage girls killed because they were dancing and recording it on a mobile phone .they were not naked they were in traditional dress.it was reported to be an honour killing by a step brother......honour killings are rife with this religion.....genital mutilations of females are rife with this religion.....suicide bombings are rife with this religion .....,even killing fellow islamists of a different sect...a young girl is shot because she wants to promote an education for young girls...multiculturism in western society only advances the agenda of extremists of islam ,they use it to their advantage against the softer policys of freedom of democracy........political correctness is going to be on the headstone of democracy.......mark my words .

  Yet Another secretly recorded Judicial Meeting for you...

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yet another secretly recorded judicial committee hearing...the hero of this story is rachel... this brave and funny kiwi lady stands up to the local elders and goes through this scary situation with grace and logic and so much class!.

  bravo to her husband who comes along to support her and her goal is to awaken and perhaps reach the hearts of these men that are poised to spiritually execute her.

  this goes right against the false label applied to so-called apostates by the wt society that they are insincere, slanderous people out to hurt the faith of others.. listen to the story unfold as rachel boldly shares her research and her conscience with these men.

  Hi Eric,

  This post prompted me to google JW Judicial Committees.. I've spent the last hour skipping through your committee. I didn't know I was but saw the 'Ray Publisher' on the post scrolling... came back here... oh that was you!

  Loved the tie job!

  Also, really appreciated how you prayed for them at the end... ballsy and sincere.

  Respect.

  What evidence is there for the miracles of the Bible OUTSIDE of the Bible?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok. this is something i've wondered about.. people of certain religions tend to use their own holy book as evidence for things in itself.

  this seems very circular to me.

  using the book to prove the book in my view is pointless.. i am not aware of any of the 'miracles' of the bible or the quran as having any substantial evidence outside of themselves to give credibility to the books themselves.. has anyone come across such evidence?.

  cantleave - I reckon if Derren Brown performed some of his illusions / psychological feats in front of a group of bronze age goat herders, they would be classed as "miracles".

  I'd like to nominate David Copperfield to be the next son of God.

  You'd better believe in him.

  I got rid of all that crap years ago. No bound volumes, no bibles, nothing.

  I don't want to risk having a demonized house and having a smurf have it's way with me while I sleep.

  I guess I'm just cautious.

  Is "Old Light" really called independent thinking?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when "old light" becomes "new light" sometime down the line the "new light" will eventually become old.

  i do realize the superiors use passages (aka word magic) to explain such a big change.

  what would be the difference between holy spirit revelation vs. man's opinion in this particular situation?

  Pro-tip:

  The phrase 'old light' may be a giveaway to apostate thinking/reasoning. I don't think that an 'in' JW would use that turn of phrase.

  'The light gets brighter and brighter' is more how they'd put it. 'Old Light' is too cynical, I'm sure.

  Just sayin' ... if you want to keep your cards close to your chest.

  Have The Witnesses Changed All That Much In The Last Few Years?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  when i was in it, especially as a young person, it was rules oriented but not like it is now.

  to me, the religion is a lot more fanatical than ever before....what do you think?

  is it the same religion even as it was 20 years ago?.

  How exactly have the get togethers been done away with? Discouraged in publications or talks or something? I've heard this complaint before and wonder how it came about.

  The only thing that made the 'truth' worth it sometimes was the after meeting socializing (albeit sterile as it could be).
