  i have heard about this forum from someone, but i won't say who as i don't want to expose them.

  i am in the process of evaluating my life as a jw.

  it has been a pretty sad life - without a real feeling of 'belonging'.

  okay, so i got annoyed yesterday when someone told me i looked like debra winger.

  i find her most unfeminine and unattractive.

  but it doesn't piss me off half as much as when i'm told i look like liza minelli.

  Was told in my early 20's that I looked like a young Mick Jagger. Now I have been told that I look more like Nick Nolte but with darker hair.

  many christians today use the fish symbol on their vehicles etc to show that they are christian .

  (despite the actual pagan origination of said fish)?

  well then came along the fish w/ "darwin" written in the center and the fish had legs.

  since i'm canadian, i'm afraid to say how good the singers have been as compared to american idol...it's almost boring because of it...do you know what i mean?

  i couldn't stand the canadian judges at first but now they've settled in to their grove and are much kinder...at first it was like 4 wannabee simons.

  there is only one simon.

  Yeru,
  
  Thank you for sharing that letter. I have friends over there as well and am hearing about the same from them (variations on the theme). These guys have my respect because they are in the thick of it. It is very easy for some to sit back and play armchair general getting their information second or third-hand. What is sent back in letters carries more weight with me than a reporter trying to sell news. These guys deserve our respect and support.
  
  In my honest opinion if a person is going to accuse these citizen soldiers of spreading propaganda they should either go there and see first hand what is happening or swear the oath and serve. Otherwise it is just an informed guess like everyone elses sitting here out of harms way.
  
  Regards,

  Would you be willing to admit it if you've been a hypocrite?

  by onacruse in

  2. beliefs

  for the last 20 years of my association with the jws, i was, more or less, a hypocrite.

  they taught things i didn't believe, but i went to the meetings and, by my presence there and by my "non-answers" i in essence supported something that i didn't believe.. it's a hard thing to say "i was a hypocrite.".

  i was.. craig

  Good Post.
  
  We could all have been called hypocrites at some point or another in da truff. The willingness to shun or mark a person based on what others said and yet claim to be called true christians is the easiest to point out as the habits of a hypocrite.
  
  I was a hypocrite when I was a member, for that and other things.
