Hello
by WITNESS-FOR-WATCHTOWER-REFORM injust to say a big hello.
i have been reading this site for some time now and have been very unhappy with some of the things emanating from watchtower head quarters in new york.
the final straw for me is the upcoming watchtower study this weekend encouraging us to shun our own family members (our own mothers if need be) if they are disfellowshipped....a step too far for my liking.

All that C. D. is clusterfluffing their minds. A great quantity of mental and physical energy is necessary to maintain their beliefs. I get tired just thinking about it.

Evolution is a Fact #36 - Mass Extinctions
by cofty in250 million years ago a plume of molten basalt gushed up from the earth's core.
it erupted in an area now known as the siberian traps - back then it was part of the supercontinent pangaea.
a curtain of lava a mile high and hundreds of miles long lit up the sky.

Old Hippie, What is consciousness? Are you saying that animals haven't achieved consciousness? Are they not aware that they are, and do they not know the season when death is swiftly approaching? I think they know and feel these things, but can't express their fears and concerns like humans can.
Does the creator only care about life forms that are conscious? What proof is there to support your claim?

If god couldn't protect and sustain 96% of his creation, then how does that bode for the future of a created human race?
If god didn't give a crap about 96% of his creation, then what makes you think he gives a crap about humans?
Food for thought...

I'd tell him I followed the evidence no matter where it led me. But if he was real, I'd humbly ask for assistant to keep learning what I have always strived to learn - the truth. -

140 dollars? Pounds? No thanks. Maybe 140 pesos and I'll consider it. -

Faith, where now?
by Theburstbubble inso for the first time ever i went to a church service at my local church (coe) and i have to say it was awful!
it was just like a ritual.
the vicar would say something and then the congregation would all say a phrase in unison back to him.

There is only one positive role that I can think of that going to church would have, helping you to draw closer to the community and improve one's social life. If I had to go, and if I had to force myself to pretend to believe in a mystical, invisible being, then I would go to a local church where I could build up some friendships locally. Having good friends there might make all the weird rituals and brain numbing sermons bearable.
I just want to say also that I respect your desire to believe in something. That is a wonderful right that we have- to continue to search and strive for truth - whatever it may be. But the truth may not always line up with what we want to believe. I wish you a happy journey in your quest for knowledge and truth!
Hope I wasn't negative. I tried my darndest not to be.

A troubling visit with a satisfying end.
by Bonsai inso, i've been out for 2 years now.
just picked up and walked away from the wacky religion that tried to control every part of my life through fear and guilt.
i've been wondering as the months go by what would happen when an elder finally showed up at my door and pressed the issue as to why i ceased all activity and then tried to reactivate me.

Steve 2 and Smiddy:
It's especially true in Japan. So many housewives trapped in a loveless marriage are sucked into this religion. That initial love bombing works every time! The men work there asses off here and have little time for religion. That is not to say that women aren't hard working here, because they most definitely are, but the housewives are the ones who are exposed to JWism when the door knockers come.
