Yesterday was my last meeting
by nolongerconfused inyesterday's watchtower study was the last straw for me...as you all have probably seen the post before me, here's the quote that did it for me.
11/15/2012 wt "forgive one another freely".
paragraph 16 - "in accord with jehovahs's will, christian elders have been entrusted with the responsibility of wrongdoing in the congregation.

I remember listening to a talk about Jesus last days on earth several years ago, on a tape recording. It was apparently an Australian CO giving the talk. It was amazing, the imagery was awesome and apart from the odd cough in the audience and a baby cry, you could have heard a pin drop. They were captivated. It most definitley wasn't an outline talk and I know the tape of it even reached here in the UK. I've often wondered about that CO. If he left and became 'apostate' and joined a christian faith... it wouldn't have surprised me.

Would you read your child's diary?
by DATA-DOG inthis is obviously a question for parents.
i have made my decision, but i am interested in your views and feelings.

My own mum instilled in me a person's right to privacy. She never even came into my room after I turned 11 except to put things in a cupboard. I had to look after my own room. For her to snoop around would have been completely against her nature. I feel the same way, I could never have snooped in my children's rooms after they got to a certain age where privacy becomes important. Of course as others have suggested, suspecting they may be on drugs could make a difference.

Necessary family business
by stillin inthat seems almost redundant to me.
isn't all family business important and necessary?
having a meal with your grown, disfellowshipped child seems to me necessary part of having raised a decent, family-values sort of child.

TMS... that's what I'd do if anyone told me I couldn't talk to my children anymore if they were Dfed. My son also told me the same if I was Dfed.
If anyone ever dared come between me and children......

Interesting Genetic Research Published on Dog Evolution
by cantleave insome interesting work has been published this month in nature and reported in various blogs and journals.
it is work that gives more evidence to support the fact of evolution.
a team of swedish scientists led by evolutionary geneticist erik axelsson from uppsala university have identified genetic changes that could have been responsible for the transformation of wild wolves, into the ancestors of our beloved pet dogs.

well... african elephant/indian elephant = kind
llama/alpaca= kind
common dolphin/bottle nosed dolphin= kind
scottish wildcat/domestic cat= kind
Brown bear/black bear= kind
Animals that are different species but can mate and produce fertile offspring.
When it reaches the limits of it's kind ie. donkey/horse, lion/tiger although they can produce offspring, the offspring are infertile.
Animals of different kinds cannot produce any offspring at all, ie. cow/horse.

Absolutely not! It's an invasion of their privacy. Like invading their private thoughts. All the things we hate for ourselves. The 'thought police' comes to mind!
If you want to know what's in their minds/hearts then have a good relationship with them where they come to you and tell you what they are thinking /doing.

Wolves 'adapted' to live with humans after a period of time. (I saw the experiment with the foxes in a documentary, it was very interesting). Dogs 'evolved' from wolves. However a wolf and a dog can still mate and have fertile offspring. They still belong to the same 'kind'. A dog has not become a new kind.

New here and just sick!
by msconcerned inhello, i am new and i feel soooo wrong about being here.

Hi msconcerned. Don't be worried about being here. I'm an elder's wife and no one in my congregation knows I come here. I've been here for over a year now. It's an awful place to be when you start to discover 'the truth about the truth'.
If you want to visit a really factual site to start with to find out more things try jwfacts. There's so much to find out about the doctrines and wether the bible supports them or not. Also, many changing doctrines over the years. It's truly eye opening.
One thing I would say though, when you start to discover things don't go around telling anyone what you've discovered. It's a fast way to being disfellowshipped. Learn how to handle it first, then decide what you want to do.
