  Hm... DY... a little abrupt, think ye, mayhaps?

  Many are perfectly content within the confines of the religion - this is truth enough. But for many, indeed, most, the confines seem too tight after a while. And then leaving is suddenly not an option.

  Imagine you go on a date - all works out, you spend the night. Great!

  Imagine you go on a date - you go back to the apartment after a nice dinner, suddenly become uncomfortable when you realize what is happening, try to leave, and then the "date" slams and locks the door and threatens to hurt you and your family if you ever try to leave. That would be rape...

  The JW's are, all too often, like the second scenario, when friends and family become hostage to your actions; where obedience trumps morality; where "independent thinking" becomes a source of punishment.

  It isn't too much to call it a rape of sorts; although stronger individuals can even recover from physical rape fairly quickly. However, it would be just plain silly to accuse a rape victim of being on a soapbox. I know strong women who have been raped and then gotten over it and gotten on with their lives. I know weak women who have not. Strength is not a virtue we all possess.

  Be ye not hasty to judge...

  Opinions on Age of Baptismal Candidates

  i am sure i am not the only one that thinks it's ridiculous that they allow pre-teens and young teens to get baptized.

  i know now that i did not have a full understanding of the implications of baptism.

  i did it primarily because that's what was expected.

  I was 12.

  Live and learn. Irrelevant, now, really, although I personally believe that God accepts most dedications - but that the relationship with the dubs is not necessary and is often an impediment to spiritual growth.

  Follow the Star All the Way to Bethlehem

  the report below serves as an excellent example of the shallow understanding that people in general have regarding the so-called "star of bethlehem".

  notice that the "star" is held in awe ... some sort of an object that satan himself caused to glow in the dark in order to cause the premature death of jesus.

  satan's worst nightmare is jesus, was back then, and still is.

  There's a difference between the bread and wine as symbols, and that of the star as a symbol. The bread and wine are honorable, but the star is not.

  Oh, that's delightful! Please, elaborate upon this, Schizzy! Why is bread and wine honorable but a star is not? Don't run away now, talk to me. Why?

  If the "star" was indeed from Satan, who (besides some nincompoop perhaps) would want the consarned thing inhabiting the very highest point on their Christmas tree? For a person to glorify a tool as used by Satan in an attempt to kill Jesus is certainly not a way to honor the person whose name is found in the celebration of "Christmas".

  By that reason, since the bread and wine are symbols of the murder of Christ (for which all humanity hears collective guilt, BTW, including YOU) we shouldn't be referencing THOSE things either. The reason we do is because the murder of Christ was turned by God into the greatest victory for Good in the history of mankind. And the star is placed on top as a symbol that even our Misleader cannot ruin God's purpose for all of us. That's even if you think it's from Satan. I don't.

  And who are YOU to suddenly pop up and say that Christians need to change the way we've been doing things for two thousand years? Suddenly a moral high horse appears out of Heaven for widdle bitty Schizzy to ride?

  Strain the gnat, schizzy, and gulp down those camels...

  Even if it was from Satan, it just goes to show how even Evil at its strongest cannot do anything that will not in time bring glory to God.

  Anyway, it was actually prophesying MY arrival one thousand nine hundred and seventy nine years later! (it was 2 bc, after all)...

  //What if Micheal Moore made a documentary on the WTS

  i recently watched the 9/11farenheit documentary and found it very interesting.how much is actually true and how much is not,i don't know,but i got the impression that micheal moore is for real and trying to open people's eyes to truths we don't see.. anyways,i was just sitting there,wondering what kind of documentary he'd come up with if he decided he wanted to look into the wts.i believe it would be very interesting,and definitely an eye-opener.of course the shallow-minded jw would say it's all propaganda no matter how clear the subject was presented.. i'd love to hear your thoughts on this ...any ideas for a title?

  Define and elaborate.

  Until then, put me in the nay column.

  Besides, it is competing for "stupidest concept ever" title with: Glitter, the Mariah Carey movie, the black woman who wanted to join the KKK in northern Pennsylvania, and anybody who marries Julia Roberts and expects it to last.

  Okay, Armageddon's never coming.

  we're almost in the year 2005. back in my jw days, i never saw mankind making it to the year 2000 without armageddon happening.

  it's now almost 5 years since the new millenium began.

  either jehovah's shitty chariot has lost a wheel, or his earthly organization is actually a huge dung pile in brooklyn.. armageddon isn't coming.

  My wife, the czarina, is soon to bring forth the heir to my mighty empire. Yes, we are bringing a little Pincushion into the world. I have sired. My Scottish soldiers have stormed a wall designed to keep us out, in this case a daily dose of hormones, and have captured the spherical throne that is their birthright!

  To spell it out for Gumby: My wife is pregnant. Despite being on birth control. 99 percent takes care of everybody but Scots, I guess.

  Time to ride forth and enslave the neighbors to make sure my child's inheritance is secure!
