Evolution is a Fact #28 - Something Darwin Didn't Say
by cofty in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
one of my friends posted an inspirational picture on facebook this morning.

even before i checked i knew that it was a fictional quote.

it was written by somebody who has not grasped a basic fact about evolution.. darwin did not say this.... it is a common misunderstanding that evolution favours individuals who are able to adapt to their environment.

Evolution is a Fact #27 - Monkeys, Typewriters, Shakespeare, 747s etc.
by cofty in

2. beliefs
most creationist arguments can be summarised as "complexity, complexity, complexity - therefore god".

we have all heard the illustrations about the odds of (insert favourite example) evolving, being less than 10,000 monkeys typing macbeth by pure chance.

evolution is not like that.

I can't just walk away, I need to keep reinforcing what I did was right (Leaving the org)
by pleaseresearch in

2. bible
when i speak to my mum about things, she says why do you keep looking on the internet and news etc... why don't you just live your life and forget what you learned growing up.. maybe i was so so indoctrinated as a child that even though i have woken up and learnt ttatt, i still need to keep up to date with new findings from ex and fellow brothers and sisters.

listening to their testimony about why they left.. this was to me and all of you i'm sure, the truth.

so to finally wake up is absolutely massive.

2. experiences
so despite glimpses of hope here and there, the wife is just not seeing this cult for what it is.. so who is the one the bit the dust?

i've not been feeling so well lately.

a bit of lightheadedness.

What was your ''the last straw that broke the camels back'' moment
by RULES & REGULATIONS in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
there is a limit to how much straw (long yellow grass) a camel can carry on its back.

if you keep putting more straw on top, it will finally break the camel's back.

when you are at the last straw you are finally angry and will not take any more.. my moment (to stop attending all watchtower meetings) was after the harsh treatment from the elders and fellow congregation members of my second cousin who was disfellowhipped as a teenager.

1. jw
2. friends
i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.

i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.

i do not condone any crime.

GB "OUR KINGS"
by wannaexit in
1. jw
2. friends
i was at the one day assembly and the bethel speaker in talking about governing body member klein -referred to him as our king.

.

wonder if governing body members will be so presumptuous to expect this title from the rank and file?.
