The list of rules is so long, there is no need for a conscience.

How many JWs still have a personal conscience?
by contramundum inin conversation with an old jw friend today, it struck me that most jws have replaced their personal conscience with a collective one.. instead of training their own mental powers to distinguish right from wrong, as the bible encourages, they are content to shift personal accountability away from themselves and onto the impersonal org.
whatever behaviour may prompt an ordinary person to have serious misgivings ( such as ignoring glaring misapplication of scripture or rejecting basic human decency in favour of unchristian shunning ) they prefer to have those decisions made for them.. history teaches us, however, that there is no absolution for people who behave unethically or cruelly by allowing the excuse of 'obeying orders' to override what their inner voice should scream is inherently wrong..

"I can find nothing that eliminates them from being God's directed people"
Did you notice what you didn't say here? What you didn't say was:
"I have found several good reasons to believe they are God's directed people, the reasons are as follows:"
This would show that you are endeavoring to use critical thinking skills. However, your statement is about proving negatives, which usually isn't possible. I hope you keep growing. Why? Going around telling people masturbation is a sin and that the generation of 1914 is still alive (or indoctrinating children to believe such things) is just a couple of (many) things that are harmful to people, and I hope you never do that.

Last installment of the Scientology series tonight on A & E
by nonjwspouse in10 pm est on arts and entertainment channel.
where leah began with the idea of just a few shows, i think she is now taking this on for "as long as it takes".
she is in that mode of being outraged that what she believed in so long is such a lie she wants to shout it from the rooftops, and get people to notice.

The Governing Body of JWs has made several claims that are actually falsifiable. And, sure enough, they were falsified. Here are the ones that I can think of:
- The Soviet Union is the King of the North
- The number of partakers is dwindling, indicating we are close to the end
- The generation of 1914 will not pass away

So, as per usual, if you speak English, Jehovah gives you lots more spiritual food. Up yours if you don't read English.

Obamacare = discounted insurance for low income people, it's not free. And it is not cheap enough for Bethel to use it.
US Bethel is still self insured medically. The Canadian government on the other hand, may be paying for Bethel health care.

The GB always gave props to Christendom as part of the "net" (Matthew 13:47), since all these things are obvious. "Tell us about all that growth in Muslim countries again?"
However a few years ago GB 2.0 put the kibosh on that.
The bad fish used to be Catholics and Protestants, now it's old Bible students, inactives, and apostates.

Girls are unpredictable, materialist, and use us, men, as a toy - Part 2
by will-be-apostate inwell here am i, a couple of years passed since my original post (link here), somewhat less mysoginistic, more open to relationships, heartbroken again.
this is an official "fuck my life" thread.. being chased by the elders makes one arrive at the conclusion that there is nothing better than not being chased by the elders.
i had a pre-jc meeting a week ago.
