Guilt free video gaming has been one major positive for me since learning TTATT. I still played violent games a little bit when I was in, but always felt kinda guilty. Now, 42 - 0 in a MW3 team deathmatch on my Xbox just feels all the more sweeter. GTA 5 looks splendid.

A View From Outside
by Joe Grundy ini never was a jw, and in many ways my interest was academic.
i have known, and know, some jws and ex-iws and know something of (but not personally) the effects that wtbts has on people.
the effects, imho, are not positive.

Probably not a great idea to ridicule peoples religious beliefs.
Lots of people ridiculed Noah when he was building the giant wooden box and look how that turned out for them. Or those kids that ridiculed that bald prophet and were ripped apart by the bear.
Just be careful, we don't want history to repeat.

who has actually read the entire Bible?
by losingit inno matter how many times i've tried, i just couldn't get through the whole thing.
you know, there were always those reminders to read the bible, have a personal study, go out in service, and.... the other two of the five things we were supposed to do i already forgot.
so, i constantly felt guilty that i just had no interest.

The beauty of this site is all the pictures of the girls that come with the dating agency/website advertisements.

Old lie: During the 19 th century, sincere Bible students calculated that the waiting period would end in 1914. (Regarding this date, see the Appendix, pages 215-18.) World events that began in 1914 confirm that the calculation of these sincere Bible students was correct.
New revised lie: During the 19 th and 20 th centuries, sincere Bible students progressively discerned that the waiting period would end in 1914. (Regarding this date, see the Appendix, pages 215-18.) World events that began in 1914 confirm that the understanding of these sincere Bible students was correct.
It's a disgrace that they get away with deliberate deception like this. If it wasn't for WWI, this religion would probably never have got any traction. They have used this stupid, prophetic-lie as evidence for their divine approval for the last 100 years. It is well past it's use by date.

Members who spam threads with the same post over and over
by Apognophos inhow do you guys feel about someone who gets an idea in his head that we want to hear the same phrase, often a nonsensical one, repeated in a dozen or more threads which may not have anything to do with the phrase in question?
it seems to me that we already have a rule, #5, about this..

I have noticed a supply of these kinds of posts lately. Not that they really bother me, because now that I am aware I don't even bother reading any of it. I just think it makes the poster look a little silly.
I can't really talk, 99% of the stuff I post is just as stupid and irrelevant, just not as repetitive.

JWs are some of the most superstitious people on earth. If she lost, she would be blaming Satan.

Do You Think It Possible That A Member Of Governing Body Would Ever Commit Suicide Because Of The Pain From Cognitive Dissonance?
by frankiespeakin ini think as things get real tuff for the governing body that the build up of stress from dealing with a corporation founded on lies and manipulation of people that is comming to a head and all the lawsuits and possible criminal prosecution and the day today pressure of having all your decision back fire on you.. the final stage of wishful thinking is the nightmare stage where the whole delusion falls apart.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wishful_thinking.
i'm thinking just like hitler killed himself rather than face life anymore, that some on the gb may reach that stage..
