  first, i never was a jw, but since a dear friend of mine is one, i'm here to learn from the human elements in order to give her quiet assistance in leaving someday (soon, i hope).... i love reading.

  my favorite author thru the years has been cs lewis.

  i read narnia in hs, and loved the last book the best (last battle).

  Was leaving easy for you?

  by Preston in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was contemplating today on how easy it was for me to leave the congregation compared to what many people here had to deal with.

  i mean, all the letters, judicial committees, family breakdowns were not really something i had to deal with.

  the worst thing i had to deal with was when a couple of elders inquired if i ever "acted on" my being gay.

  Do men have a greater "creative genius"?

  by perfectpie in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  what comes to your mind when you think of the great minds of the past?.

  for me it is da vinci, michaelangelo, manet, monet, picasso, van gogh,.

  jerome; closer to today nelson shanks and maybe daniel green.. musically: mozart, beethoven, chopin, hayden, bach.. science: darwin, hawkings, einstein, edisen.. psychology: freud, otto rank, ernest becker.. there are many other fields you could name and with them other creative geniuses and/or great minds.

  Product Advice - Digital Cameras

  by Celtic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do any of you know anything about digital cameras, as i need some advice on buying one.. the family are in the antiquarian print and map dealing business.

  many of the old steel engravings are black and white with very fine detail, ink clarity in various stages due to fade out from age, early 1600's - 1860's.. we are looking to put some of these images onto the internet in specialised hosting communities that deal with this business.

  image size flat is from a few inches square to 24"x20"+.. which camera would be particularly well suited to the purpose and which features would we be needing ideally?

  Should I call the local elders

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses always say if you have questions, you should discuss them with the local elders.. most of you have seen over the past few days, the 5 or 6 questions which led me to leave the witnesses and take up my hedonistic lifestyle.. should i call the elders and give them a chance to answer my questions?

  i've asked my father some of them, but it always turns into an argument and upsets my mother too much for me to really pursue the discussion as far as i would like.. just to reiterate.. my questions are:.

  1. is there a logical explanation of god's justice system for the universe, which includes all sentient creatures and how they are judged?.

  NBA fans please read

  2. physical

  while drinking beer and gin/tonics at a sports bar, my friend and i argued over who the best nba team would be.

  please give us some help and tell who you think would win this game in a best of 7 series in a neutral court.

  keep in mind that all the players are in their prime and consider how these would play as a unit as much as their career stats.

  What do you think about Evolution debates?

  by rem in

  what do you think about evolution debates?.

  this is not going to be a thread about which theory is correct.

  i want to ask the board if anyone has actually found these discussions on evolution to be beneficial to themselves.

  Undeserved kindness vs. Grace

  by TweetieBird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you guys are probably going to think this is silly of me, but i have always wondered why the society, in the nwt and all of their literature always uses the term "undeserved kindness" and never the term "grace.

  " is it because the churches of christendom use the term grace, therefore it is bad?.

  i know that undeserved kindness is suppose to mean the same as grace, but is it really?
