OK lost...for me its when a posters basic humun dignity is abused. Thats bullying.( ihad enough of that at the K.H. I had the elders at the door this week and i politely told them to leave)Ok i admit my personality is idiostntric but amoung the cast of ex jehovers witnesses i found here i think its great to receive a different view on things and it convinced me i was right to simply not engage the elders at my door in discussion.

Lost...i an not a writer, and my use of words is not always correct.What did i mean by cencorship?
By censorship i guess i meant ' hot points' that are deemed ' unsuit able" for this site. I mean for me i admit i am a little sensitive as i m new to all this butthe point for me this site has allowed me to express my own thoughts. Something i couldnt do as a witness. Other people on this site do the same and sharing these thoughts has allowed me to listen to the voice of reason inside me and them.This is a good thing for me as my believes have changed, thanks to the knowledge ive learnt from here. ..anyway most posts are quality posts and i guess censorship keeps it that way.

Overlapping Generations: A wacky kool-aid thread
by RayPublisher inanother wacky kool aid thread for your reading pleasure from the hardcore dubbs on jw talk dot net is here if you want to read it:.
they wax philosophical, they curse this horrible old world, they gently try to project how soon the big a will come, and then swoon when someone quotes a tidbit from a gb member that they overheard.
warning: those with weak stomachs do not read!.

why S did you tell a filthy joke?
but thats a good point S censorship...and my simple answer this site has to be censored. I think we should agree on that. So who sets the standards and decides if material is unsuitable? ME ME ME...or lets have a commitee...come on censorship has to be down to the owner?
Anyway if i dont agree with things here i will leave, actually i will leave if i agree with things here..thats the beauty of being a member with out responsibility i can come and go. No hours to fill in nor talks to give...

great point Simon i didnt even think your site costs money to exist...any way for me this site helped set me be spiritually free...and as a member helped give me the confidence to express myself to strangers that are just aviators in hyperspace...i think turning an aviator in to a person we understand i can understand me is very challenging.
i joined this site because i read old posts and it was like a real awakening, to see such compassion from some posters I am sure this site has saved lifes and helped many and i think so what if iam are self conciouse in expressing myself..i am a member and i hope even amoung friends even if i am annoying i have a voice and for ME thats why this site exists..to speak my mind. Something i never did at the k.H.
Now i can be annoying and an idiot ...i dont believe in God and as for family i must remember them in there obituaries (thank you watchtower) but i was once to sensitive to post here..that i would be ridiculed that i couldnt debate. I think this site allows expression and diversity of opinion but for many the problem is having the guts to share thoughts and feelings with strangers.

Elders who criticized brothers talks for being TOO strict?
by toto555 indid this ever happen to you?
did you ever try to teach god's word the way it was supposed to be rendered only to deal with elders and others who wanted you to "tone it down" or have your "words seasoned with salt" although you weren't saying anything wrong.
you were just telling the truth and they didn't want to hear it.

off topic a little, but a elder gave a talk in the theocratic school about how a bible passage happened in 1914. I didnt get it so i raised my hand and said so, would he explain it...and just for a second i swear i saw fear on his face...then he composed himself and the bullshit cae out....
