Could the law abiding Jesus or his disciples have used a coin depicting Caesar?
by EdenOne inso, i was just viewing an interview with professor yonathan adler regarding the origins of judaism as an everyday practice of the masses.
he makes a very convincing argument that the jews only became torah observants in a generalized way around the beginning of the hasmonean dynasty, between the 3rd and 2nd centuries bc.
you can watch the interview here:.

why are we interested in what is going on in the JW
by enoughisenough infor the most of us, we have left the jws...and even though we are no longer jw, many of us are still interested in their beliefs, doctrines and practices as currently practiced.
i was trying to sort out in my mind why i still care about what they are doing.
i think the answer to that is a hope that something will develop in the jws that will wake up a lot of others, and selfishly, a lot of my friends.

here is another reason I pay attention to a bit of the JW stuff ( mostly tidbits from "apostates" who are doing reviews: if I end up talking to some of my far off JW friends that don't know I left the org., I want to be able to not be clueless as to what is going on. That being said, we get information here before the R and F do.

let God be found true though every man a liar....I choose to believe the Bible and therefore didn't read through or watch anything to the contrary.--it would be a waste of my time as once again I choose to believe the Bible. -

you could go and eat and drink and they likely won't want you to ever go back! ( I know, I'm bad!)

Stress of Going to a Summer Convention
by LostintheFog1999 inspotted this picture on a friend's page, he was highlighting the mental health issue.
however,we thought the magazine on stress was deliberately placed in the summer months because for any jw going to a convention, paying high season hotel rates for themselves or their whole family to stay near the convention centre, fighting coworkers and managers to get the time off work, travelling expenses, buying their own meals for the family, buying new shiny suits and dresses to impress (particularly if you have teenage girls who are looking for their prince), and more.... by the time they come home again and straight away back to work, their nerves will be so frazzled that their stress levels will have sky rocketed!.
as brother elder says to them, "don't worry.

wasn't I a goody two shoes. I trusted the suggestions thinking they had gotten the best prices for us. We always got "the Talk" about how it was to everyone's advantage to stick with the rooming arrangement-now I am thinking, "yeah, but to whose advantage"?.

The past year has been in interesting ride. I never looked very closely, or I would have found something to hinge my decision to leave on sooner. I had always told myself if something stood out to me that directly went against what I knew to be in the Bible, that I would leave. ( in hindsight, I think that thought was there because subconsciously I knew things weren't right ) Anyway, what I want to say about this interesting ride is in a short while I learned more about the org being on the outside than I did being in for 50 years, and that is because instead of just leaving JWs, I dug deeper into it's past and came to appreciate, it was built on a pack of lies from it's inception. -

I think the answer to that is a hope that something will develop in the JWs that will wake up a lot of others, and selfishly, a lot of my friends. Also when some "new light " comes out, it reinforces that getting out of all the lies was the right thing to do. I also know that many keep up so as to help others to see how ridiculous and false some of the teachings are-again in hopes more come out of the cult. -

rattigan350...some people believe the Bible to be inspired of God! If you don't, then I guess it isn't any more special to you than a storybook of any sort. I would think erring on the side of caution to be a good thing just in case the Bible really is God's word. If it is, many won't fair well and if it isn't, there are principle's in it if followed would benefit people in general...like justice and kindness for others for example.

spiritually sick Jehovah's spirit directed organization
side thought: when you get to thinking about it there are a lot of made up terms peculiar to the org. Must be part of the pure language.
