6friends: i have a question....
by thebeliever insince leaving the jw's, with what have you replaced your belief system?
meaning, since we know there is no armageddon, heaven, hell, etc... how do you now understand the world and your place in it?.
i personally believe in evolution, but that doesn't help with the matter of spirituality.

Sunday Drama at JW Convention: Not Bad, Really
by Room 215 inin the ``giving credit where credit's due" category, i must say that while curiosity drew me to spend an hour or so last sunday morning at the convention in philly, i must confess to having been pleseantly surprised by the drama.
sure there was the usual hamming it up with over-the-top histrionic gesturing and laughable synthetic beards we've come to expect; but since it stuck nearly verbatim to the events chronicled in the book of acts from pentecost through the trial and martydom of stephen it was remarkable for its christ-centricity and for the total absence of watchtower spin or any reference to ``the governing body," the "faithful and discreet slave" and ``organization.
"" except for a few spurious ``jehovahs" here and there, it might have easily been mistaken for some sort of baptist pageant.

I think in the Nov. 1st 1999 Watchtower questions from the readers it's okay to vote now. If your conscience allows...At least that's what it says.

There's one that's my favorite, not because of it's superior production qualities, but because It's so ridiculous. 'Make the truth your own". I think there's a line in it that says "If your body members you control...You make known that the truth is your own".

Stupidest thing a JW ever told you
by Nosferatu inwhat is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?
we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.
for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.

The Governing Body merely transcribe to paper what Jehovah tells them to.

NG,
To those of you who think verbal brutality is 'the thing to turn someone around' ... think again!!!
First of all, it's not verbal brutality, it's HONESTY.
Second of all, I personally am not trying to turn you around. I think you are too far gone for that.
Third, I don't give a frog's fat ass what you do, just don't show up at my door trying to stick up for a religion you can't even defend yourself.

Northern Girl,
I have to ask.....What do you mean by "truly free'? Here's what you are free from:
1) freedom from independant thinking
2) freedom from having to think at all.
3) freedom to have to make any personal decisions...The Society can now direct you if you have any questions on how to govern your life, in regards to entertainment, finances, personal grooming, etc.
If that's your definition of freedom than you really are a sad case and beyond hope. And truly brainwashed. Oh, the elders would say that you are free from "Satan's snares", and "False Religion". What amazes me is when you loyal Witnesses act like you are not being hypocritical by being here and arguing with "apostates". Or when the witnesses here say they are free to do what they want and they are not doing anything wrong by being here, etc. etc. The fact is that the Society that you worship says that you are absolutely NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE ON THIS BOARD, AND BY DOING SO YOU ARE DISPLEASING GOD AND COULD BE DISFELLOWSHIPPED. THAT IS THE TRUTH. Do you deny that? Don't act like you did'nt know that, because if you are any kind of Witness worth your salt, you know these things...And if you disagree with the Societies viewpoint on this matter, than YOU SHOULD'NT BE A WITNESS...PERIOD. If you doubt what I'm saying than ask an Elder. If he gives you a different response let us know. The FACT IS he won't. If he does, he's going against God's Organization. I suspect you know these things and maybe you don't agree with the Society on this point. But realize that by disagreeing with your dear religion on this point brands you as an apostate, and makes you unworthy of being a member. Unfortunately for you, your religion screws you up on this point, and there is absolutely NOTHING YOU CAN SAY TO DEFEND YOURSELF ON THIS MATTER. The only thing you can say is.."I know I'm wrong for being here, but it's still God's organization, and I want to be a part of it". What does the Society say to do when you have sinned repeatedly as you have? It says you must CONFESS to the Elders, and show a repentant attitude. It might be hard to justify that you are repentant when after all, you have continued in your sinful course and continue to post..(over 250) Heck, you're a Senior Member in apostate land. So please save us your self righteous witness crap. Your not only displeasing God, your displeasing the dear Elders you worship as well. How do you justify this?... YOU CAN'T. Most of us know the rules of the Society you worship on this board. So don't act like it's been okay to be here. CONFESS to the Elders. You have been fooling them by your hypocrisy.
