i don't know if this q has been brought up on the forum, if so i apoligize, but i was just thinking about this today, and wondered how many here left or are thinking about or trying to leave the b-org as result of the un fiasco?

Woooo Hooooo, he he he, my first thread with a fire icon next to it LOL.
Everytime I meet a JDub I make sure I mention the UN thing, I really do not think they know about it. They seem to look puzzeled. But none the less, I let them know and then let the wheels spin from there

i have heard that argument from the jw's since i was a child - i still hear it from my family.. now that i am out it seems like such a silly argument.
in fact, you could liken it to someone in an abusive marriage for years.
they're used to the situation and somewhat frightened at the thought of change.
Dawn,
That is a very good analogy, I never thought about it in that way of an abusive relationship, but isn't that what it is though, an abusive relationship, interesting.

i know everyone is disgusted that dateline has not aired yet, but i can promise you that it will be airing within the next 3 weeks.
we have been in touch almost daily with the producer calling to tie in last minute details.
our family was filmed for ten hours last july and that was just our family.
Not getting too excited here, I guess I'll beleive it when I see it.
well, for about 10 days now i've been "witnessing" to a witness via email.
i came across his email address on a community bulletin board run by aol here in columbia.
our conversation has run from pedophilia (ain't a problem according to him), to the un thing (apostate lies he said) to serving in the military (i showed him luke 2, luke 7, and acts 10).
LOL apostate lies. Yeah us postates lie about everything. Sheesh, Well if they do not want the truth about the truth, they are never gonna accept it, you have to see it is their life, it is the only life there is according to them. I mean look at violet, JW true and true. Oh that's through and through, cause there is no true in it.

if men were created in the image of god , and women created for men , then why do all foetuses start off female?.
according to the bible eve was created out of adam.. well i can't speak for adam but the basic body structure of a human it seams starts off as female , men branching off at a certain point of developement due to man making hormones.it doen't get rid of our nipples though.. if men came first or are in some way superior in gods eyes then why the need to develope as a female first , shouldn't it be the other way round?.
so shouldn't have god made eve first?
LOL Matty,
Different Lilith, but I always thought whe was CUTE. LOL
i was talking to my jw sister the other night, long distance.
she, like me, was raised a jw.
she is a sweet, sincere and wonderful woman.
U.2.K,
Actually I did understand your post, and I fully disagree. The concept that you have to have the god of the bible in your heart mind and soul makes no sence (I do not mean that in a drogatory manner) The "Christian" nations lead the world in divorce violence and such (well I know the muslims have a problem with violence too) But in family situations the "pagans" and "Athiests" (that meaning China and such) have a much lesser problem and lesser rate of divorce. So it is not the bible it is really a mind set and education. Now I agree the bible does give great council on the subject, but it is not the bible and it is not the reason that people stay together. I am pagan, my wife is Assembly of God, we have a wonderful marrage, and I do not follow the bible in anyway (well I mean I do not accept the bible as my guide, as I suppose many of the things taught in the bible I do follow), but it is not the bible, it is the values set by each individual.

Sleepy,
Acording to Jewish tradition Eve was not the first woman, she was the second, Lilith was the first and she was created at the same time as Adam.

Room 215, you are sooooo right, I could not agree more.
U.2.K.
if they do not have & follow the bible, like they are suppose to, those people will have many problems...That is one of the stupidest comments I have ever heard, so the taoists, shintuists, hindus, buddists, pagans have a larger divorce rate then Christians or live more miserable married lives then christians? Give me a break!!!!!!!!!!
