I am beginning to believe that Satan is way more powerful than Jehovah. Satan has the brightest people on his side and he keeps his unrelenting propaganda very persuasive... and the best Jehovah can do is send people to stand on sidewalks or walk along doing... well... not much. I am leaning towards Satan side,even as bad as he is. It's a matter of survival, not of righteousness. I rather be alive than side with a good, but ineffective God.
Root for Satan, he certainly is kicking Jehova's butt.

Hello, its good to be back, seriously!
by AllTimeJeff infor the last year or so, the opening lyrics to gloria estefan's "always tomorrow" have been howling at me.. i've been alone inside myself, far too long.
never really wanted it that way, but i let it happen..... .
(btw, the message in that song is great for former jw's, if you want to think about the lyrics that way....).

Another problem for JW apologists
by Jeffro inthe 2013 edition of the new world translation renders 2 kings 17:1 as:.
in the 12th year of king ahaz of judah, hoshea the son of elah became king over israel in samaria; he ruled for nine years.. this is in fact a better rendering than the previous nwt, which stated:.
in the twelfth year of ahaz the king of judah, hoshea the son of elah became king in samaria over israel for nine years.. despite their improved rendering, the watch tower society still claims that hoshea's reign 'really' began in 758 bce, but that it was 'established' in the 12th year of ahaz.

Too much for my little brain to process. However, I couldn't miss the humorous reference by scholar:
"celebrated WT scholars"
...anonymous people are celebrated. Hahahahahahah.

USA, Oklahoma | Jehovah's Witness church elder Ronald Lawrence arrested over sex abuse claims dating back to 1980s
by jwleaks inusa, oklahoma | jehovah's witness church elder ronald lawrence arrested over sex abuse claims dating back to the 1980's.
a 76-year-old mcalester man was arrested tuesday on 19 counts of sexual abuse after police received claims he molested several children while in a position of authority more than 30 years ago.. mcalester police detectives were alerted to the alleged sexual crimes conducted by ronald lawrence back in august when his first accuser reported abuse at the hands of a jehovah's witness church leader.. a woman now in her 40s told detectives lawrence, an elder at mcalester's kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses, abused her when she was just eight years old, inviting her to his home, where he fondled her and raped her in his bathtub, according to her testimony found in lawrence's arrest warrant, which was issued tuesday.. two other accusers, also in their 40s, then came forward with similar stories of abuse.
both said they were very young, with one telling investigators the molestation took place from the time she was 10 until she was 13 years old.

They have cut it. According to scholars the passage about "casting the first stone" is not part of the original text. I don't know if that's the WT's reasoning. If it is, I only hope that they heed more the scholarly research and realized that the Bible with its countless mistakes and contradiction, multiple forgeries and revisions can only be a man made book.

Letter I wrote to the person the caused me to be disfellowshipped
by jwfacts ina thread on another forum reminded me of a letter i wrote to the person that went to the elders and started the proceedings to have me disfellowshipped.
i stopped believing in the religion when i was 25 but continued going for about ten years.
i finally started to fade at 35, but about 6 months after i had stopped going to meetings, a person wrote a letter to the elders about my website, which at the time was anonymous.

Born Again Christians and JWs should look at the bigger picture and stop fighting with each other.
by booker-t init just amazes me how born again christians and jws are fighting and mudslinging at each other all the while not looking at the real problem in front of them the bible.
the bible has been used for thousands of years to committ all sorts of horrible crimes against others.
i am so sick and tired of reading about jws did this and that and christians did this and that when both groups will refuse to explain all of the contradictions and outright discrepencies in the bible.

Unstopable
Cult, planet. It's all semantics. However, planet or the redefined alternative remains a fact. It's an object orbiting the sun.
The word cult refers to a religion. However, the more modern usage of the word carries a negative connotation. From your own beliefs (Hell, Adam and Eve, etc) I'd say that you belong to a dogmatic religion that demands adherence to concepts that either have been proven false or can not be proven. Therefore,, since you are in denial of reality, you belong to a cult.
