  Did You Ever Wish That The Truth Wasn't True?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i did.. there wasn't any aspect of jwism that i actually really enjoyed apart from the "apres ski" when the meeting had ended.. meetings bored me silly.. i couldn't abide door to door work.. i never studied voluntarily, just a 5 minute skim the through the watchtower before the meeting started.. worst experience ever was door-knocking on christmas morning.

  god, i hated that!.

  as for the restrictions as to what you could and couldn't do....ye gods!.

  I Thought Mel Gibson Was Going To Be Jesus...

  by SYN in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  whoooops!.

  i'd been getting all geared up to go and watch the passion of the christ (it's causing enormous waves of journalistic strife, so it has be interesting at the very least...), until i saw the trailer and realized that mel gibson is not, actually, playing jesus.. apparently he's "too old", a friend told me.. now, don't get me wrong, i'm not a massive mel gibson fan (although he was perfect for the role in what women want, i must admit), but i thought it would've been truly surreal and an interesting reflection on popular culture circa 2004 to see mel gibson pretending to be jesus.. other interesting tidbits have surfaced about this movie.

  monica bellucci (hope i spelled that right) of matrix: reloaded/revolutions fame is in it, which you might say is a truly powerful incentive to go watch the movie, but she may not be as fun in this role as she was in the matrix.

  If you had to choose between Truth or Happiness

  by dh in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if suddenly you were confronted by someone who could grant it, and offered these two choices, which would you choose (if either).. 1.

  (truth) you can have the answers to all of your questions, know and understand the absolute truth about all things, who we are, where we came from and how it all happened, and most importantly, you will be able to comprehend why.

  the price of this insight is not cheap... you must leave behind everything you know; family, friends, pets, property, all things you value, you do not get to say goodbye and you will never see any of them again.. or.. 2.

  Hebrew Scriptures Jehovah vs. Greek Scripture Jehovah

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've always had a problem with the hebrew scriptures and the way god was portrayed.

  it's like talkin' about 2 different gods.

  on one hand you've got a petty, murderous, jealous, insecure sounding god (hebrew) and on the other you've got someone who is supposed to be the epitome of love.

  The longest registered newbie

  by greatcrowd in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am an ex-witness who faded from the religion about 4 years ago.

  interestingly, i am not new to this board because i have been lurking here for over 2 years and enjoying the great wealth of spiritual food here.

  i feel so connected with many of the posters here because of my passive involvement with this board.
