BARBARA ANDERSON - SHOCKING!!
by The Searcher ini don't know why, but it took me up until a few hours ago to read her story at http://www.watchtowerdocuments.com/ and it opened my eyes more than i'd have thought possible.
having researched the real truth over the past 3 years or so, i felt my disgust was complete, but i was wrong!
i used to think that bethelites had it made, being in amongst like-minded brothers and sisters every day, but it appears their little 'spiritual paradise' is just a facade.

Talked to Phone Witnessing JWs
by jamiebowers ini usually can't hear someone knocking on the door of our enclosed porch, so i haven't spoken to a jw in person in the ten years that we've been at this house.
and being that the temperatures are currently very cold in northeast ohio, i suppose the jws are doing telephone witnessing.
so, today i had the opportunity to talk to two real live jws.

Well done, that's exactly what I would be saying, just enough to hopefully make someone think for themselves.

What Gilead Taught ME
by AllTimeJeff inthey mean the leadership.
all of this is code for: one who is not ready to really study and accept how the leadership of jehovah's witnesses use the bible to their own self serving means.
but to be fair, jw's teach that most all of these characters refer to the leadership of jehovah's witnesses, the governing body.

How long did it take you to prepare for talks or parts in the KM school?
by OneDayillBeFree inseveral years ago, whenever i got a talk slip i would get really nervous but accept it and work on it almost immediately.
of course that was way back when i still believed it all.. now they gave me a #3 talk out of the blue about a month ago and i had forgotten all about it till the meeting night.
i really thought about not showing up at all but at the last minute, i decided to go.. so when i got there the meeting had already started and so i just stayed in the back looked at the info, found 2 scriptures and then without any notes i went up and gave the stupid talk!.

I would do a lot of research before preparing a talk in order to do it justice. As acrough guide I'd spend 1 hour prep for every 5 minutes of the talk. I could however give a talk at the drop of a hat, a number of times my name was announced for a talk or item and it was the first I knew of it, but still got up and did it.

A question on "The Life of PI" movie Warning :if you havent seen it .Don`t read
by smiddy inthis is a question for those who have seen the movie , without disclosing too much in case some inadvertantly see this thread ,does pi represent god ?
other souls represent someone else ,was that also the case with pi ?
i`m going to watch this movie again as i think a second veiwing is in order .. it was impossible not to veiw this bengal tiger as the real thing ,look at the well fed animal at the beginning and the half starved animal in the end .. i thought it was extremely well done visually and if i can say so intellectually .. i welcome your comments on this movie ,.

Perhaps he felt that the tiger was his god protecting him and then leaving once he was safe, but angry at him for some reason hence the hardship. I did find it a little confusing though, but then so did Pi following every religion he could.

Was jehovah/yahweh/god the first to commit an abortion?!
by OneDayillBeFree injust caught this in today's watchtower!
while the wtb&ts is going on about all of david's sins and how god was being a "god of love" and showing forgiveness to his servants, (keyword: his= only jehovah's witnesses) i decided to go ahead and start reading the whole story about what really happened.
so then i stumbled upon 2 samuel 12:15&18 .

I'm with OneDay on this, it's a sick and evil parent that causes their child to be sick and suffer several days until death overcomes it.

Hi everybody!

following links led me to this & other websites..... since then i have spent literally hours on the internet discovering all this information.
so many late nights/early mornings.

Welcome, I know what you mean, it's hard to explain and seems bizarre unless you've been there.
