  I am deeply ashamed that I didn't accept evolution until a few years ago...

  so... i live in mexico and i am helping with an esl class (english as a second language).

  actually, i am helping with two classes.

  i get two days a week in which i just stand there and have a debate with the class, encouraging as many as possible to just talk... in english.. anyways, i like talking about subjects that generate debate.

  Oh, I simply LOVE such arguments! Just in the line of "no-one doubts that", "only the uninformed could think that", "not one single serious scientist doubts that" etc.

  
  Throwing in the whole weight of the establishment. Trying to make the other guy look like a Complete fool. Rejoicing when he is finally having to admit "none".

  
  You may win the discussion - but you definitely lose sympathy and the possibility of carrying on a respectful discussion.

  No need for arguments or sympathy, there are no winners or losers.

  While some have a poor understanding on this subject, a few here don't.

  In this case we have someone who is able explain with great clarity his knowledge and understanding and can clear up confusion with some actual facts.

  I appreciate Cofty's relentless promoting of education.

  CO visits me today

  i'm at home and hear knock on door , i sneak and look i see two men and recognise one voice and go back into lonunge and ask wife ( who is inactive believer) does she want to speak to elders ,she says no ,then literally 3 minutes has pasted another knock the 3 minutes seemed like an eternity.

  so brave heart me think fuck it i'll answer ,i invite them in for coffee, i recognise one older man he is a unique elder who i genuinely was fond of when i was in his name is andrew ,the other guy i didn't recognise we will call harry ( not real name australia doesn't have that many cos with his same name).

  so i think to myself i will tread lightly and not cause to much of a fuss for the wife's sake, but my personality is very the opposite of treading lightly ,as you read my threads you will realise i'm not timid.

  Finding out that jws are not what they make out to be

  by nomorepain13 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  *warning this is long* it all started on the last day of the "remain loyal to jehovah" convention.

  a little background story, i've been raised as a jw, been in and out of the religon, never baptised but was made an unbaptized publisher about 3 years ago, always felt out of place in the congregation, blamed myself for this because if i had just went to meetings and did all the right things then i would have friends and not be in the mess that i was.

  right after becoming an unbaptized publisher i met my now fiance, end up leaving my mother's house to live with him, elders haven't contacted me about my situation even though i'm sure they know as my step father is an elder...but anyway on the last day of the convention my fiance came with me as i was visiting my mother and had planned to go with her and her husband to the convention.

  Welcome to the forum.

  I still believe in jehovah
  

  Give it some time, you have only just noticed the man behind the curtain. I'm sure the lack of evidence for this Bronze Age myth will have you changing your mind.

  You may even become a believer in paragraphs. All the best.

  hello all.... i am new here so i figured i'd make a quick post introducing myself and giving a brief intro as to who i am and what i'm here for... as well as to hopefully meet others.. so, i made a profile and in it i gave a pretty detailed explanation as to my intent here and exactly why i decided to participate in the boards.

  in case you don't read it, i'll give a brief summary.

  the name is robert.

  Which Org 'directives' did you blatantly ignore

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember that we were always encouraged to let everyone at work know that you were one of jw's and therefore would not participate in any of their functions, parties etc.. this i outrightly refused to do.

  my reasoning was that i was employed and paid to do a job and therefore my religious beliefs were a personal matter and therefore had nothing to do with my work.

  secondly i had to work with these people.

  As it turns out, I believe the most significant directive I ignored was the "avoid independent thinking" mantra....

  Oh and another thing, my penis. I jerked that all the time, despite the directive.

  Governing Body Member Gerrit Lösch - What The Near Future Holds

  another talk from my channel.. gerrit lösch - what the near future holds.

  apparently, jehovah god has "revealed" the future to us... unfortunately in 2008 when this talk was given he didnt reveal to them the mass downsizing of bethel staff and buildings, the child molestation payouts and many many changes to doctrine.. https://youtu.be/d8pvnrv5s94.

  He's odds on to be the child abuser in the ranks.

  As the longest serving GB member, he has got to be the most criminally responsible for their damaging policies, at the very least.

  Lock the old fool up and let him rot in prison.

  He has already said things in the past about his own daughter that were lewd and suggestive and IMO, equally or even more disturbing.

  I posted about his comments on his daughter on a different thread some time ago. My post was removed though.....

  This is the sick piece of shit he is and always has been.

  I can remember my Grandad raging and ranting about the lengthy shorts that were becoming popular in the early 90's. "Now, are they long shorts, or a pair of short longs!"

  A few years after that they started wearing shorts hanging half way down the backside. My old Grandad had a hard time adjusting to all the 'new light'.
