  Witnet Refugee

  by Prisca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  those of you familar with witnesses.net may have seen me around the site, i've been posting there since early last year, and recently i was a moderator for a short time, before its sudden closure.. i was raised in the truth, daughter of a one-time elder and am a third generation jw.

  i have seen a lot of changes in the society, some for the better, many for the worse.. i am now inactive, have not been to a meeting since the memorial earlier this year and not been in active witnessing since january 99.. so i am more out than in, though i have a few family members that are still witnesses, so i try not to put myself in the situation where i could be df'd.

  (easy, avoid the elders!

  Witnet closes its Door for good...

  kind of a sad but inevitable end to a special and unique place on the net.

  free speech is severely limited in the truth, and the wide range of opinion and viewpoint between the old school and the new school i'm sure made operating such a site a challenge.. for me the most facinating thing was the way one could see thinking troubled witnesses contrasted with the ones who were the mindless products of an organization.

  i think it was a valuable window into the worldwide picture of what is happening today in the religion.. the site was helpful to me, and for that it holds a special place with me.

  The Catholic Church

  by Pathofthorns in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for all that we've trashed the catholic church as though they've been some kind of "arch-enemy" of jehovah's witnesses and christianity itself, its quite facinating to see this once strict religion gradually abandoning its teachings and becoming more mainstream.. its quite interesting to see how centuries held beliefs can be abandoned due to changing times.

  i think there are many more similarities between the catholic church and witnesses than we realized, despite our insisting how radically different we were.. i'm not saying the attrocities committed by the catholic church are somehow equal or less than mistakes made by jehovah's witnesses.

  but i do think that the pope's acknowledging and apologizing for many of these earlier this year is a step in the right direction.. i guess they get new light too as they've changed their teachings on hellfire, and now they've even opened up heaven to non-catholics.

  2. entertainment

  i've been toying with the thought of starting a band.

  so far it's a one-man band, for i know few in the music world where i live.

  what i want to do is purchase a mixer so i can edit my own bass, drum and guitar tracts.

  A New "Class"?

  by Pathofthorns in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  (edited for waiting :).

  in 1935 a "new class" was "discerned" when the great crowd was understood to have an earthly hope and survive armageddon.. could there be a new "class" of witnesses surfacing today?

  the articles, such as those on blood, feature a "some" whose conscience permits this and that.
