....is there any other db?
actually thats not what its about.. i felt like saying....nowhere because its all garbage but for people who want to believe in something that would not do.
anyone got any neat answers for this kinda thing?.
I get asked this question a lot and I have thought about all kinds of answers:
1) Anywhere but here!
2) Back to my family and those who love me for who I am.
3) Away from you.
4) To a place where I can think for myself.
5) Catholic church down the street (just for kicks).
(OOPS, guess I posted a little late)

this last sunday we had the evolution/creation talk.
it was hard to sit there and take that load of crap.
its funny because the night before i looked up a lot of evolution info at different schools on the web so the arguments were fresh in my mind.
I still go to meetings because not going causes too many problems. I guess I don't have big enough balls :)
My wife is a JW. She knows how I feel, that I have no faith and that I don't believe she has the truth. I told her that I'll give it one more shot. When I first studied, I did it for her (big mistake) and now i'm doing a study for myself (gag) actually, I'm just going over the same old crap I don't believe, but then in the end I can say I looked it over twice, once for her and once for me, and still came up with the same conclusion, that it is a bunch of BS GARBAGE. Then I'll make my own way through life. (Gotta have a plan, right?)
The wife now tells me that either way I live, she will still stay with me. I don't really think thats what she wants, I think she is saying that cuz thats what the elders told her to say. (there are other posts about my story, so I won't repeat them here)
so i just need to vent a little.
my husband is going to the mass.
convention this up coming weekend with his parents.
I'm sorry to hear that and can only imagine your pain. I have missed 5 years of my life, but it is a hard 5 years, from 19-24. I need to leave soon but every time I try I get yanked back in with guilt. I hope I don't waste anymore years of my life.

Just wanted to give this thread one more shot, anyone else want to discuss public talks that were out of this world?
i have a question for everybody.
it has probably been asked before, but i'll ask it again in case anyone changed their minds.... why do/don't you believe in god/god.
what give you faith in things not beheld/makes you not believe?.
I think ur pretty...;)
the secret private jw message board, that is .
so, how do they determine this, exactly?
(whether or not someone is in "good standing".
they forgot to mention that many of the Police and Fire Dpt were so impressed by how organized the witnesses were that many of them accepted bible studies and some have already dedicated themselves to baptism. 3 now serve as elders in the local KH.
my congregation (soon to be 'ex'-congregation) is assigned to veteran's stadium (that will be held next week and then again on the last weekend of july.
i have made it my resolve to make this year, 2002, my final district convention.
since it will be my last one, i decided not to go to the hot-a$$ veteran's stadium!
Isn't it funny how the WT tries to jam every prophecy to have a greater fulfillment with regards to them? with a big enough hammer, you can make any puzzle piece fit together!

sunday:.
walk to bus (10 blocks or so).
Lets say it took about 12 min for the prayer, and the average prayer says Jehovah about 1/5 seconds (the ones I hear "Jehovah, our heavenly father, Jehovah. We come to you, Jehovah, to thank you for everything you give us, Jehovah.....ect). That means Jehovah was mentioned 144 times, wow! Was he annointed, might have been symbolic for the 144k

This last sunday we had the Evolution/Creation talk. It was hard to sit there and take that load of crap. Its funny because the night before I looked up a lot of Evolution info at different schools on the web so the arguments were fresh in my mind. Basically they attacked evolution because it makes doesn't answer questions like "Why are we here" and evolution doesn't explain how laws, languages, beliefs came about.
If he would have let me, I could have answered all those questions. It got me angry because he made some outlandish statements about people who believe in evolution encourage people to act like animals, because thats where we came from. Isn't this contradictory ( sp?) to evolution? We are a higher being of life than chimps and dogs. We are above throwing our own feces at others, or eating it for that matter. Why would we revert back to being animalistic and lose everything we have accomplished? We developed languages, civilizations with laws & codes, family structure ect. People get along better (generally) and live longer (generally) with these things. Why would we go back, as the speaker said Evolutionists promote.
Any other public talks that just rub you the wrong way??? False Religion, end is near comes to mind.
