In the big scheme of things, Jesus'....

...suffering was not so bad.

his "perfection" and understanding of the situation would certainly have mitigated his suffering.. his death was not really death, not in any meaningful sense.

it was a 15 second nap, using bible reasoning.

...stay in their facilities?.

my sister just called me, with the idea of 'comforting' me wt style (bad idea *lol*) i shut her down by saying "i respect that these are your religious views, but they are not mine.

" that managed to shut her up finally.. before that, though she volunteered this info, i was wondering if anyone can confirm it?.

Witnesses instructed not to harbor private ideas
by cyberguy in

today's watchtower lesson instructs witnesses not to think for themselves when it comes to bible understanding:.

augest 1, 2001, p. 14, par.

first, since "oneness" is to be observed, a mature christian must be in unity and full harmony with fellow believers as far as faith and knowledge are concerned.

Post WTBTS Life

i have been inactive for about three and a half years now and just recently after making some big changes in my life have i made a commitment not to return to the "organization".

for quite awhile now i've just felt like i was apathetic towards religion.

now i'm disgusted by religion, religious dogma, and fanaticism.. one thing that i've noticed in those i deal with that are ex-witnesses is that many tend to swing the exact opposite direction once they leave.
