i had no idea you were ex-witnesses when i registered here.
continue to send me e-mail anyone from this group.
steps to contact the administrator of this site, with this information.
This board was a delightful surprise for me. I never expected such open mindedness and free thinking here. On the other hand, I expect it was rather a shock for poor Patricia. I only needed a brief overview of the posts to realize the sentiments of the majority. I wonder why it took Patricia so long?
To be honest, I thought it was a joke when I read her posts. I suppose it wasn't. Regardless, I hope she finds what suits her.
i am new to this.. i have a problem.
someone on my ministry asked me about the date that we hold so dear....607 bce and asked me to prove it to them.
this would not be a problem i thought as the f&ds would have solid basis for using such a date.
. At any rate, they list 607 as the date of Jerusalem's destruction.
That is interesting. Do they arrive at the date in the same manner, counting backwards 70 years from 537 BC? Has there ever been any evidence to support 607 outside of the 70 years mentionned in the bible?
Although interesting, it doesn't surprise me if they insist on biblical inerrancy.
Nelly!
You forgot my favorite! "Oh, I lost my page!"
Oh yes, I recently saw the top ten signs that she is bored in bed. One was "She starts banging her own head against the headboard".

i've seen some posts here regaring child abuse, pedophila and such.
i'm sure most of you are aware of the poster knon as 'silentlambs' and his posts on h2o and other boards.
here's some links if you missed the posts.
Excerpt from the article:
The denomination, officially called the Watchtower Bible Tract
Society, responded saying its elders report child abuse where laws require it.
Could someone in the know please tell me, does this mean that where law does not require it, the watchtower feels no moral obligation to report molestors to authorities? This is quite sad if that is the case. Does anyone in Canada know the legal obligations of religious organizations for cases of child abuse? What about other areas outside of Canada and the USA?

Xandit,
Just put a block on the email from that address. I've done that to digests I get. It works.

Waiting,
Couldn't understand the above post, however. Not enough coffee in my brain yet.
I read the message three or four times and thought I was missing some sort of deep significant insight! Glad to know it was just "tripe".
i'm wondering if you still attend meetings?
do you hold out hope for the watchtower organization?
if you've left entirely, have you found another form of worship?
Test:
Sass you click on the "Use Forum Code in your message" if you can figure out how to use it let me know. I still haven't gotten it.
Does it work? TW, I followed the instructions in the little window. I wrote Quote enclosed by square brackets and copied the remark and then put /Quote, again with the square brackets around it.

Thank you for the repsonses!
Thinker's wife,
I shouldn't be admitting that I'm a papist, should I? I'm rather inclined toward eastern wisdom, though. Like you, I would like to find something that feels right in my heart. When I read The Knowledge book, I initially felt such excitement. As I worked my way through other book, the doubts crept in. I wonder if the Knowledge book came about as a result of condensing all the beliefs that weren't too bizarre or too far fetched?
I can't be bothered with debates on scriptural inerpretations either. They're interesting, though. I wonder if Jesus had any idea that the fables he told to simplify his teachings would become so convoluted.
Thank you again :)
One other thing. Is there a help page available to teach me how to quote properly from other messages?

If you've left entirely, have you found another form of worship? I'd very much like to know where you have turned. I've never fully believed, which is why I am not baptized, but I haven't any solid beliefs of my own.
Thank you in advance.

Och! Blimey, I see now you've received the mail. It was only in jest, just the same. Pardon my blunder. There's a gentleman on holy scriptures.com that sounds akin to that.
