many are familiar with my "friend" i mention her in many of my posts.
well lately she has told me about some strange actions towards her by the elders and others in her hall.
she is nervous and unsure of what is going on.
I'd put my picture up, but it'd probably scare everyone away.

i left almost nine years ago at age 18; my only real regret was that i was good friends with a young brother and i never said goodbye to him, or even let him know that i was planning to leave (had to leave my parents' home secretly while they were at the meeting one sunday; they had such a hold over me that i could never have stood up to them and told them beforehand).
.
i have no other regrets about leaving; i'm am now happily agnostic and so thankful that i found the strength to break free.. anyone have any similar regrets?
My only regrets were the years I wasted. No looking back.

in an earlier discussion on this board about whether the nwt mistranslated the verse in genesis about nimrod being "a might hunter in opposition to jehovah," there was some really interesting research material presented.
as i read it i began to realize that there seems to be a central reason why nimrod has been presented as one of the truly evil men of human history.. the witnesses emphasize that he was the one who started war, becoming a killer and tyrant.
but in one of the quotes, there is a more likely reason for nimrod being vilified and demonized.
Good points Seeker,
I've been trying to find out about Nimrod too, since that thread started. I read somewhere that his name in Hebrew means "let us revolt" and that in Babylonian Nimr means "leopard" and rod "to subdue". It is reported that he had tamed a wild leopard and took it with him when hunting.
Nimrod established the first post flood empire. It included Babel, Erech, Akkad and Calmeh. He then invaded Assyria and built Ninevah, Rehoboth, Calah and Resen. He is supposed to be the original builder of The tower of Babel, which was called Etemenanki by the Babylons.
These seem like pretty powerful acheivments, for one lifetime. I could see his acheivements alone putting him 'in opposition' to Yahweh, as the Hebrews of this time were basically shepherd/farmers.
I'm still looking, so if I find anything else of interest i'll let you know.

my biggest question about jw is regarding the 144,000 from revelations.
how could john know exactly how many people were there?
how did he know that they were representing the 12 tribes of israel?
Dont get too full of yourself. I'm pointing out your use of insults to avoid answering questions. If you feel that's something tpo be proud of, so be it.
I can throw insults as well as the next guy, I just choose not to as my arguments can stand on their own merits.
witness logic is too strong to break.. why is witness logic so strong and powerful?.
because it isn't logic at all.. daniel book ch.13 pg.292 p.11.. "the next two verses of daniel chapter 12 do even more to help us identify "the holy ones of the supreme one."...
"the ones having insight will shine like the brightness of the expanse"..who are the ones having insight today?again the evidence points to the same holy ones of the supreme one.
I feel like we're goig in circles here...getting dizzy.

Touche, You know,
Your knowledge of the bible is exemplary. It's unfortunate however that you have failed in the basic lessons of politeness manners and humility. When logical argument escapes you, you resort to words like imbicile, moron, stupidity, clueless. How many converts do you have to your credit? Probably not too many with your attitude.
You have still avoided my original question. You can tap dance and name-call to your hearts content, I still fail to see the difference between your statement and Wills.
