"Family comes first for fast-growing Jehovah’s Witnesses"--hmm, if my parents heard that at the convention, they must've missed it, because they're still shunning me. I highly suspect they heard something quite the opposite.

I want to release the motherload
by Anony Mous ini have collected and assembled hundreds of letters, documents, publications, personal communications, e-mails from the branch etc.
etc.. my original intent was to make some type of searchable database but my time has been taken over by more important things in life for me.
i don't care about the jw's all that much anymore and who or what gets what information i don't really care.

From personal experience, getting reinstated is not easy. I can't imagine trying twice, much less four or even six times. It takes everything one has.

JWN Board Format Change? Just curious...
by AGuest inpeace to you all!
for some reason i thought the board's presntation and format was going to be changed?
but that was some time ago (i think i recall dear simon - peace to you, dear angharad, and your household - posting a "beta" version, or something like that).

Maybe it happened…but invisibly. The generation who witnessed the invisible change of JWN will overlap with those who are on hand to witness when the changes become noticeable to everyone… J
Accept for a few quibbles (like the PM system), I like things the way they are now.

Do You Think That You Should Be Punished For Letting Drivers Know There Is A Speed Trap Along Their Route?
by minimus ina houston woman made up a sign warning motorists of a speedtrap and she was arrested!.
in my area we often alert fellow drivers of speed traps by flashing our lights.
do you think there should be a law against this?.

The woman should be rewarded not arrested.
Cops know exactly where the speed-limit drops and they know out-of-towners are unfamilar with the area and are likely to miss that. They are like wolves lying in wait for their victim. They do not care if a person is struggling financially. They do not care what is going on in their life. They do not care how good a person is. They don't listen to reason. They are bullies made from the same stuff as JW elders.

How many ex-jws poster here now believe in Hellfire, immortality of soul, trinity, etc;
by booker-t ini am just curious about this because although i agree with many of the posters here that the wt society is guilty of many horrible deeds, i still believe they are right when it comes to doctrinal things as i mention.
especially hellfire.
i just don't see how anybody that has studied the bible for many years like many of the ex-jws here can make an about face and go back to believing hellfire.

This past year, I've revised my belief system and continue to revise.
These are a few of my current beliefs:
Hell: I don't believe in a literal hellfire. I believe in a Gehenna, where the unrighteous are purified in age-during correction. People are not tormented there, but reformed--nor are they there for eternity. In the end, I believe everyone will be saved. See the book: Hope Beyond Hell.
Immortality: I believe our spirit is immortal and God is the Father of that spirit. The Society's concept always bothered me because it does not teach resurrection, but cloning. The spirit is what keeps us us.
Trinity: I am agnostic on the doctrine. Currently, I believe that God as the Divine Parent reproduced, that is, from out of his own substance, begot a being like Himself. Just as my parents are human, so am I. I share their same substance and come from them. In the same way, Jesus is God. The Holy Spirit is more than some impersonal force. But just as I have a spirit which defines the core of who I am, so does God, and so does Christ.
The year Jesus became king, Satan "cast down", Last Days began: 33 CE.
Great Tribulation/Armageddon: I believe this occurred by 70 AD.
The Flood: I believe the Flood was a regional event in Mesopotamia.
Evolution: I do believe God used natural processes to create the world and the life in it.
House-to-house preaching: the first century Christians never went door-to-door. The Great Commission was mainly given to the apostles.

Questions critical of 1914
by biometrics ini have a relative coming over because he's concerned about my spiritual health.
i said i have some legitimate concerns about the watchtower claiming to be god's representative on earth.
we agreed to do a frank and open (if that's even possible) study of 1914 doctrine, and the "nu lite" about the overlapping generations.. does anyone have good questions or points to shoot-down the 1914 doctrine, and the "nu lite" on overlapping generations?

Biometrics,
Let us know how it went, so we can learn from your successes (hopefully many!) and mistakes (hopefully none!).
