i have notice alot of new people here recently and i am curious as to how you found this site.interested in how some of you "old timers" found it also.
last may or june i was checking out some chat rooms and for some reason (i always thought how boring) i went into the religion section and saw a chat room title jehovah witness recovery room.
i was very curious as to what was going on in there (did a bus load of jw get in a crash and now they are recovering??
I was studying with the JW's and some of what they said made me suspicious, so I did a search for 'Jehovahs Witnesses' using a programme called Copernic, which uses 8/12 search engines at the same time. This was one of the many sites that came up, so I started collecting information.
Got hooked on this one, and here I am ! :)

which do you think it is,or, is it neither?the society claims to believe that the bible is the inspired word of god.yet in print they believe in "thought inspiration" instead of "verbal inspiration"as most bible believing christians do.
"thought inspiration"means that god merely gave the ideas to men and then they worked the details out in their own words.
'verbal inspiration"means that god not only guided in the main ideas but also in the choice of words the human authors used.so, again,"which do you think it is",or, is it neither?
I believe the bible is a ' mish - mash ' of so called spiritual writings, brought together over many many years, added to and detracted from as the dictates of the current ' religion ' demanded.
Some of it may be inspiring, but then, so are a lot of other books.
Should the bible be followed ?
IMHO the ' proof of the pudding is in the eating' so I look at the behaviour of followers of this book throughout the ages, and they come over as the most hateful kind of people.
I realise that many have done good things in the name of this book, but majority rules.
The majority of the book followers are, and have always been, violent/judgemental/cruel/arrogant/persecuters.
There are good followers of the book, but they are a minority.
Any sort of good god, if that god had a book, would ensure that the book was understandable and not open to miss-interpritation and miss-use, so my opinion ?
The god of the bible does not exist.

The doctor said that she has never seen anybody recover as quickly as I am.
This is fantastic to hear, but please dont let it go to your head, get plenty of rest and NO rushing out for donuts !
So glad that all went well.
Love and (very gentle) hugs.

greetings from the land of ice and snow,,,, last week i watched a tv show on the iceman found frozen in alps, about 10yrs ago.
it was an update on what scientists have found the last few years.
they say he is 5300 yrs old, which would put him at roughly 3300bc.
It must be a fake created by apostates who have nothing better to do

why did you choose the nickname you did for this forum??
also who do you think has the coolest/funniest/weirdest name on the board?
i choose kelpie because that is my partner's nickname for me as my initials are klp.
I became interested in all branches of religion and wanted to investigate the differences/similarities.
So.......searcher.

Francois,
I dont care if the abuser goes to prison, or to a secure facility for intense therapy.
All I care about is that the abuse STOPS, and is not allowed to be covered up or protected by stupid 3000 year + old rules, continued in a modern world by people who have no grasp on reality.
Theropy may be the answer, but at the end of the day, protection of victims and potential victims is the urgent priority.
