hello all, i've been on this site for a few weeks (reading for longer) and i have to say this site has helped me a great deal.
i see from reading all the posts that many many people share my views on the whole jw thing and i'm so glad i can express myself without getting into problems with getting reported to the elders or something.
i am currently in my late 30's happily married to a jaydub with 2 kids.

Thankyou all for your posts. Glad to know there are some normal folks out there who can understand me.
was watching the faith in action dvd pt 1, and i'm thinking: these guys honestly seem like there acting!!!!
i'm utterly convienced that they couldnt believe in what they are teaching.
couldnt.
By giving a rough estimate to all the properties(BetHells,kingdum hells, assembley Hells etc) they own around the world (about 8 to 10 billion) They are most likely sitting on 3 to 4 billion in stock,bonds, cash reserves. It is well known that the Newyork Bethel has cash reserves of 2 billion alone. Think about how many countries they are in. And probably some other assets we dont know about. Its just from some things I've read and my own Educated guess. Its in the Least over 12 billion. No one can get an Exact figure for the fact that they have so many various corporate entities (80 corporations that have been confirmed) They have it running like any other corporate giant.
We do not know.... Nobody does. Its a mystery.

LoL, funny post Joliette. Yes I would call actors and even more so they are as Puppet's of the Corportion. Or the Salesmen/Front Men of the Corp which has assets at aprox 15 billion $.
this is a bit of a rebuttal to greybeards ("lack faith in a creator.... watch this") post and the reason why many people lack any faith in a loving creator.
granted, there could be a superior intelligence that could have set certain events in motion but i do not believe there is a loving heavenly father who gives a rats ass about humanity!
its just that in all of recorded history, the human race has suffered (and continue's to suffer) a great deal.
james_woods, Thats right!
What a great way to solve mans problems.. Just kill 99.9% of them. Move over Hitler, Stalin, theres a new sociopath in Town.

Its just that in all of recorded History, the human race has suffered (and continue's to suffer) a great deal. History is full of bloodshed, rape, murder, genocide, slavery, Injustice, disease, natural disasters etc.... That is the main reason why a Lot of People do not Believe is a God of Love. Watch my "rebuttal video" WARNING, this video contains graphic contect! "God" has never stopped anything horrible, not even when it was done to millions of small children. The Jaydub explanation is.... well you know... bullshit. If you or I had the power to stop all of these atrocities... would we not? Or would we play a game with "Satan" to prove he's wrong by making billions of people to suffer and die. Well the arguement of the Dubbies is " Jehooba has to vinicate his name (WTF??) This "God sounds like a Major Megalomaniac and is a sociopath to even consider such a thing as allowing humanity and the chidren of people he supposedly created suffer cause some chick 6,000 yrs ago somewhere in the middle east ate an apple and gave it to her man and he ate it and....... the rest is history. Could anyone even with the intelligence of a door stop not find a better more humaine way of settling some supposed issue arising from this rebelion? Well if we can think of many ways of which "God" could have handled the issue, should a Being, all powerful, all knowing have not found a better way to subvert man from going down such a bloody path? IT DOEN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. Its illogical! And this is the one that we should worship?? Its ridiculous! Greybeards, watch your wonderful creator sits back, drink a few "heavenly beers" turn on the "heavenly TV" and sit back while this Happens. (WATCH THE VIDEO) If he exists he must be a total ASSHOLE!
