an older man and wife - ray and mary - got chatting to me today.
they were tourists admiring local wildlife.
i gave them a few tips on where to go to see some interesting things and it wasn't long before they were telling me about how awful the world is "nowadays" and paradise yadda yadda.
Bravo Cofty! I wish my wife could bump into you... I actually used your questions with her and she flat out said how twisted and wrong the 2 witness rule is. She also stated the Mr. GJ did not answer the questions Stuart asked but then... she end by saying "this is still the truth"
I also want to thank you for giving me the courage to face my doubts and research the deep things that science can now offer us.
i was asked if i knew of any jdubs within my congregation that could help out counting the money for this years regional convention, imitate christ.
so i gave a few names and included my wife, i was hoping for her to wake up and see how the org is all about the money in the back room.
do you think it woke her up a bit?
I was asked if I knew of any Jdubs within my congregation that could help out counting the money for this year’s Regional Convention, IMITATE CHRIST. So I gave a few names and included my wife, I was hoping for her to wake up and see how the org is all about the money in the back room. Do you think it woke her up a bit? Yeah right! It actually had the reverse effect and now she’s all in.
On a side note, I spoke to her about the Royal Commission in Australia and to my surprise she was able to articulate all the wrong things about the two witness rule, the mishandling of child abuse and how poorly GJ answered when questioned. But she then added, “this is still the truth”
Oh my! How much more can this woman take?
I’ve been awake for 2 years and I’m planning my exit carefully and building my network of people outside the borg, trying to build a business and become independent from this friend’s club (A.K.A God’s Orginazation)
I just hope my wife can start to wake up, I don’t know how much longer I can stomach the lies, hypocrisy and control this organization holds over its members.
having just come back from the uk and spoke with some witnesses to find out how my old congregation is doing, i realized i am now the age that my elders were when i was a kid.
and i wonder what the elders who are now in their 60s and 70s are thinking when they look in the mirror and an old face looks back at them.
many of the elders in my old hall are now retired.
what were *your favorite *books in the organization?.
out of all of those books, i liked "mankind's search for god.
" however, it appears to me that this book is incredibly obscure and no one recalls studying it during the old book study format.
i have been a missionary in the dominican republic for almost 10 years and i was wondering if there were any ex-missionaries on this forum.. i am back in my country now for 3 years and totally inactive.. what i noticed in those missionary-years was the lack of spiritual interest among the missionaries.. discussions were about rooms, cars and greater responsibilities, the bad territory.
and the local c.o.s and d.os.. was this only in the dr or are there other experiences??.
ere other experiences?
so i was fooled by the witnesses.
what can i learn from that?
not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.
Wow! I can't believe this thread is still alive
I might be suspicious of the Nasa and people in authority, but when you dig deep into this subject, you'll find more proof on Nasa side than otherwise. So I digress...
Thanks Viviane for pointing me in the right direction
so last night i was having a wonderful meal in a very nice restaurant when we heard what we thought was a loud clap of thunder.................. it was a bomb.
yards from my hotel.
thankfully i made a few decision that meant i wasn't in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Perry is at it again!
Isn't it prudent to refrain from mocking until you have nonrefundable proof either way?
NO! Why can't we mock what does not exist? you mock the evolution theory and accept coming from clay, talking snakes, poisonous fruits, good tree bad tree, the flood, the guy who died for us but is not dead.
How exactly did the dna code, that if printed would stack 8 x 10 sheet of paper half way to the moon, come to exists if not for sky daddy or clay? You got a better explanation? Let's hear it big shot
Then why is our DNA flawed? let me guess... the invisible SIN the dwells within. Yeah, that's a good explanation big shot Perry.
if only it was so easy to change our looks in real life........
If only it was so easy... I know what you mean blondie but never forget that “Outer beauty pleases the EYE. Inner beauty captivates the HEART.”

You have captivated the hearts of many around here, including mine.
about a month ago i posted what had happened to two elderly sisters who were reprimanded by a couple of elders for crying because the jw broadcasting was going to be stopped at the kingdom hall and it was up to each publisher to learn how to use the internet.
if you recall the sisters got together with my mom and talked about it and it resulted in all of them declining to make meals for the pioneers.
here is the link.
