Very true, that is exactly what we did. After you leave you don't have to answer your door or your phone either. Eventually they get tired and leave you alone. It's been almost two years now for us. This has been one of the best decisions we've made. 2014 is an excellent year to leave!

The American Constitution versus the 'Kingdom of God'.
by yadda yadda 2 ini thought this comparison between the american constitution and the 'kingdom of god' was very interesting from an article in this ex-mormon's excellent website http://packham.n4m.org/us-xian.htm.
the article notes how america's founding father's were deists, not bible-believing christians.. but our nation is also a system of government, not just a society.
the constitution is about government, not about society.

The net effect of this will probably be close to nil, but anything I can do to disrupt or at least annoy the WT is well worth it to me.

Mankind does not accept the need of a Messiah so therefore reject him
We'll after 2,000 years of failed attempts to figure out what your god of paradoxes REALLY meant, and all the choas that went with along with that, people tend to eventually move on. Be thankful that you were not a medieval peasant subject to the whim of the church. It's no coincidence that the most progress and betterment of society has occured when people stop worrying about the imaginary Peeping Tom in the sky, and started living their own lives.

God finished delaing (sic) with man in the flesh
I don't recall that being written anywhere in the bible, and furthermore if what you say is true than your bible god lied, because he promised to remove wickedness from the earth. Face it, the god of the bible is a god of contradictions, and lies. Jesus supposed great sacrifice has not brought about what was promised (over 2,000 years now and still counting), but has actually made things much worse, by holding progress back under repressive theocracies for many centuries.
Also, if you believe in the my book of bible fairytales answer this: if heaven is so great, why did 1/3 of heavens population decide to leave?

What does 2014 mean to you
by NewYork44M insometime in the early 1990s i made a commitment to myself that if the end did not come in 2014 i was going to walk away.
then i started thinking - if i waited until 2014 i would be 57 years old with very few options.
that is when i realized that i needed to make changes to get my life back.

To me it's another feather in my cap that I made the right decision to leave the cult about two years ago. I think it also marks the end of an era, and of the doomsday mindset for the WT$. I suspect they will be forced to redact/hide their past teachings and make a move to go more mainstream xtianity in the next 10 years.

My response - The tsunami was caused by an earthquake under the Indian Ocean. There was absolutely nothing any human could do to cause it or prevent it.
Just think of all of the thousands of years of ignorance, and idiodic superstitious conclusions that have been used by religion to explain stuff like this away (and enslave people in the process). We really are fortunate to be living in an age of science and reason, where superstitious nonsense can finally be defeated. Maybe this conversation may really get him to think and change course. Thanks for sharing this.

I think everything worked exactly as it should have here. I don't care about this redneck, the only thing I really care about here is what effects such cases may have on freedoms .
1. Phil Robertson choose excercise his free speech about what he believes, which is fine. I fully support free speech, even if it is offensive.
2. The network exercised their corporate freedom to fire him for his fringe beliefs.
Freedom is wonderful, don't let the thought police take away your freedoms.

Christmas Field Service
by NeverKnew inon another thread, i read that a few adherents may be traveling (cough-cough) to other cities and wouldn't be able to make field service on christmas day.. what is the likelihood that going out on christmas will be encouraged at the weekend services at the khs?
...or do most halls stay neutral on this?
given what i've read on this forum, i have the impression that disrespecting a day of other's celebration wouldn't be discouraged which annoys the heck out of me..

Two years ago I had to conduct meeting for field service on Christmas for the first time. I recall a feeling in my gut that I could not ignore that this was wrong. I think it was one of the small things that got me to ask myself: "what the hell are we doing?". When you knock on someones dooor when you see them with their families having a good time, one would have to be a total tool for not having doubts about that. A few months later, I quit the cultish sect cold turkey several months later for a variety of other reasons, but this experience is one of many that left me with a sour taste in my mouth. I only wish I had the balls to tell the local elders where to stick their dumb guilt offering of a service day.
