  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of the posters here have been in the organization for years.during the time that you have been associated, have you ever had to go before a commitee?

  did you confess to something or were you confronted by the elders?

  were you ever accused of something but it couldn't be proven?

  Yup. Twice.

  Did you confess to something or were you confronted by the elders?

  Confronted Twice.

  Were you ever accused of something but it couldn't be proven?

  First time accused of falsehoods and they WOULD not present accusers or present any witnesses. Second time accused of truthhood. (Celebrated X-mas, and was reported) We admitted our decision to celebrate Christ.

  Did your experience with the elders affect your view of the organization?

  Yup. The first time was PURE madness...that's when we started to drift off.

  Jehovah and God are the same entity.

  I don't believe that for one minute.

  I don't believe a true God would want his "name" tied to child molestation filth in anyway in the slightest. You?

  Everyone should abide by his/her own conscience.

  Which is what I do, which is why I had/have no problem celebrating.

  That's what I believe anyway.....

  Religion Explained

  by JanH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is about the most ambitious book title i can remember.

  religious studies have been able to collect and present millions of facts about the world's religions, and made a lot of fascinating general theories about belief, myth and rituals, but it would be stretching the truth a lot to say that any general theory of religions stand out as totally convincing.. so far, nobody has even been able to produce a totally convincing defintion of the word "religion".. but if anyone can produce a book actually explaining religion in a credible way, it must be pascal boyer.

  i read his book the naturalness of religious ideas: a cognitive theory of religion for my master's exam, and it was really an eye opener in many ways.

  Jesus is watching you

  by Earnest in

  1. social
  2. humour

  a burglar broke into a home and was snooping around when he heard a voice whisper, "jesus is watching you.".

  he paid no attention to the noise, assuming it was his mind playing tricks on him.

  however, after another minute or so he heard the refrain again: "jesus is watching you.".
