apostates are just people who carry a brighter torch than the WTS....apostates are thinkers....without blinkers.

I am EXHAUSTED!!
by Tatiana ini have been back and forth back and forth all day with two jws (although one says she is disfellowshipped-makes no sense)...on the board dedicated to prince.
i feel as if i've been boxing.

Evolution is Crap, there I said it!
by Crazyguy inok i started another thread and every one jumped on me because i was trying to take the theory of evolution out of the mix and most here seem to believe in it so i will just say it.
the theory of major evolution is crap!
the theory is falling apart.

snareandracket. I am interested genuinely. life itself amazes me..hot blooded v cold blooded animals.....plants v animals....communication...choices....beliefs....the older I get the more I realize that anything is possible...as for God...where did 'he' come from if he does exist....as a longtime jw I often gave talks using a sieve as the theory of evolution.....full of holes and doesn't hold water...but since coming out.....keeping options open!

man and apes share about 99% DNA. how come?..and whenever evolution is examined or experiments are conducted one element cannot be replicated in any laboratory .time. ....
my mind is open to ideas.

Question for Believers - Why did god "create" poison ivy, poison toad stools, and marijuana?
by Comatose inif he created them, then he would have had to use divine intervention to protect people from eating them or burning them.
even after being told not to and passing that knlowedge on, small children could inadvertently get into poison berries or mushrooms.
what about bacteria that causes extreme stomach problems like giardia?

....and where did diseases come from? humans and animals suffer painful and cruel ailments.

What on earth happened to the magazines?
by slimboyfat infor the first time in years today.
to say that it took me five minutes to read the whole thing would be to flatter the rag.
it doesn't even seem to contain actual articles any more, just headings and bullet points and pictures.

the mags have become trivial. trying to appeal to young ones with childish illustrations. wouldn't be surprised if they combine awake and watchtower.

'Great ROI'...successfully fading
by Skipper12 in6 months or so ago, me and my wife decided we will never set foot again in a kingdom hall.
about 4 months earlier than that, i stumbled upon an article about the wts being associated with the un.
that got me into finding out ttat eventually.

I would so love to read crisis of conscience but very hard to obtain here in UK. I'm sure many jw members are now waking up to the fact that the watchtower empire has an emperor with no clothes.....constantly changing tack under the guise of so called New Light....which is itself a misapplied scripture quotation....

Commitee and disfellowshipment
by Freeof1914 ini have only posted on here several times, but i am constantly reading what others post.
i guess i am more of a reader than author.
that being said i am happy to announce i am no longer one of the jehovah's witnesses.

what happened to 'Make sure of all things ?' etc etc...seems that they are scared oif any questions or discussion of beliefs ..why? because they are on shaky ground. Surely discussing and talking openly about doubts etc is the way to build any real belief or conviction.?..Jesus never told prople what to believe..he asked/answered questions and allowed them to reach rational conclusions?.. what are they afraid of?.... as for the GB....how do they receive instruction from god?...dreams?...or dubious medication?...whole thing seems rotten...

Good time for R&F to preemptively question GB validity
by irondork inwith the new light in the july 15 watchtower, now might be the perfect time for rank and file members to question wether or not the big boys are who they say they are.
in light of the fact that the men who claim to be the sole channel of communication for all mankind could not even grasp their own identity for the last 100 years, wouldn't now be a good time to turn the tables on the elders who are so quick to drag a questioning dub to the back room and demand loyalty to the governing body?.
wouldn't now be a good time to put the july 15 watchtower in the middle of the table and ask to see the credentials on these men without fear of being suspected of apostacy?
