Militant Apostates

2. scandals
i'm wondering if there are many truly militant apostates out there....... some real god hating watchtower bashing hard guys....i just read the "bill bowen update" thread and feel that all opposition is good opposition, and knowing that the wt society can see any posts we make, also feel its a shame they can see squabbles among their enemies.

i have been thinking of doing something i have wanted to for along time, just to see, that is go to a church.

i guess i am a little afraid , or nervous , more than anything, but i feel i ready to venture out there and see what it is about,,,,,,,,,,,lol, i might not stay , i just want to try it.. i just want to give it a chance and right now i have no reason why i shouldnt if i go in with my eyes open.

i dont know what religion to start with,,,,,,,,, i figure this may be a journey on finding what feels right to me, or it could end up i stay home and do my own worship , who knows.. i know there are many christains on this board and i would be interested in hearing why you choose the faith you did, if it is methodist, catholic, baptist, or other mainstream ones.. i am also interested in other forms of religion some have choosen, and why?

there were several different careers that the wts did not aprove of.

Bill Bowen's unfortunate attack
by Jim Penton in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
like carl olof jonsson, this is the first time i have ever written to this forum.

i have decided to do so, however, because i am saddened at what bill bowen has chosen to do in reference to ray franz.

let me say that i given bill full marks for publicizing an issue child abuse and the watchtower cover up of it and for taking a stand that has cost him a great deal personally.

Do you love people more now that you're out?
by writerpen in

2. friends
i was thinking about this the other day.

since i've left the borg, i find myself loving other humans more.

like all the little children being abducted, the miners trapped in the mine last week, the victims of car accidents that i pass on the road, a woman crying in the car next to me while waiting for the green light, the homeless that i see every weekend at a local soup kitchen where i volunteer, etc.
