NOTE TO GOVERNING BODY

by Francois in

jw
friends

have you folks or your agents read and carefully digested the posts in the very recent thread entitled "how many got the real truth from the internet"?.

and it spells trouble for you.. you would be doing the world a favor if you just admitted your faults and disbanded the entire organization.

and given the destruction you've wrought in people's lives over the last hundred years and more, that's exactly what you should do.. but, since there's so much money involved you won't do that until you're forced.

TheStar

No one should have to go door to door saying in effect, Look at our Light? Ain't it pretty?

LOL@"ain't it pretty?"

Amen, Francois, Amen!

I'm thinking of applying for reinstatement

ok, here's how it is.. i just finished reading the "dead" thread.

now, listen.

i do not believe in life after death.

TheStar

Life will end in a few decades. I'm ok with that, as it's been the way of life for three billion years. Calm acceptance of that brings relief from the worry that religion brings.

Alan, I feel that is the key to it all. You have to accept what life is, then you can truely live and be happy... accept the known and the unknown.

Edited to fix the darn quote.

a thread of support for OZZIEPOST and MRS OZZIE

by Prisca in

dear fellow posters,.

ozziepost and his beautiful wife mrs ozzie are going through a very tough time right now, at the hands of the wts and its henchmen.

in the space of a few weeks, they have lost their children and other family members due to the unchristian attitudes and pharisaic dogmas, despite having tried to quietly fade away from the wts.

(((Mr. and Mrs. Ozziepost))))

My heart aches for you. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. May you find the strength to endure.

Much Love,

knowing that i no longer will be under the constraints of a oppresive religion has done a lot for me.

What an encouraging thread! Thanks Leander for posting some of my own thoughts and feeling. And thanks all for your encouragement and insight. I think I'll just have to get my rear in gear and get myself back in school soon too!

Help Me To See DEAD PEOPLE! Please!

by TR in

since i'm not a 'hovah no more, i thought i'd be beseiged by demons.

anyhoo, i need help to experience those lowly cohorts o' satan.

i'm getting damn sick and tired of not ever having experienced anything of the paranormal.. perhaps one way this can be explained is by the resistance one has to electricity.

TheStar

TR,

I think the link in this thread might help you see dead people.

According to this, your problem is that you don't believe.

public talks .

here is a list of talks that was spoon fed to the congregation in 1998.. for some reason there was no talk number 100 back then.. but can you spot which talk that is missing from the list, the one that should have never been missing from the list for jws?

it is still not on the list even today.. and do you know why?

TheStar

Ok, which talk is missing and why? Please tell me.

I am unlike other men

by joelbear in

jw
friends

i'm not talking about the homo thing here.. i am very different.

i learn differently.

i am odd, very eccentric sense of humor.. i have decided that instead of trying to get one doctorate degree that i am going to try and get several bachelors degrees in different areas of interest.. i like too many things to concentrate on one subject.. i have worked at the same type of job for the last 20 years and have never been happy.

TheStar

Of course it make sense Joel.

I feel the same way. I have been wanting to go back to school and get a bachelor's degree but do not know what to major in because I have so many interests. Recently I've gone back and forth in trying to decide if I should continue with my first career love I had before I was a JW or to pursue new interests.

Like you, I want to experience as much as I can in my life time because it's the only one I know for sure that I have. I want to learn from meeting and getting to know different people and their backgrounds.

Go for it Joel, don't let anything hold you back.
