  founded by russel, claiming to have about 8 mill.

  followers, who are dedicated to give their time and money voluntary to 8 old men sitting in a golden palace, whit a number of treasure directors, investing in bonds and real estates.

  as many of you know, whom have been in the org for a while.. the wt is hard coded into your mind.

  sometimes, i will read a wt, to make sure that i hadn't imagined all of the ridiculousness... and then i read a wt like this : http://m.wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2004168 (is linking to this legal?).

  i especially enjoyed this section : .

  Heart vs Mind - What Makes Us Human

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01kpvj1/heart_vs_mind_what_makes_us_human/.

  i was watching this bbc iplayer programme on heart and mind, (which is well worth a watch if you can access where you are).

  and despite how the programme starts out, it develops into a deep and touching discussion of what makes us human.. i personally was left with the feeling at odds with what i believed as a witness.

  British museum bible tours

  by inbetween in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  visiting london years ago i had the chance to participate on a bible tour arranged from bethel.

  what i remember, it was one out of 12 topics, and a brother or sister served as a guide, showing particular objects related to bible accounts.. at that time, i was quite enthusiastic about it, thinking i learned something valuable.. .

  now, being awake to ttatt, i wonder what real scientific value those tours served.. or rather it raises the suspicion, that those tours are for visiting witnesses in order to distract them from many other finds in the museum, that would disprove either the bible or their own theology.. anybody ever made such a tour ?.

  Actually LisaRose, a condition of being a baptised witness was to " know nothing about gay people" . A condition of being an ex- witness for many is the slow and gradual realization our beliefs were wrong. Whilst i do not agree with Dis- member on this subject i appreciate from mamy of his other posts that he like us has to confront being wrong about so much. And lets be honest we most of us at one time thought that homosexuality was wrong.

  i am so glad i WOKE UP to the indoctination, and judgementalisam. Yes i can love my 8 year old son with unconditional love and i do love him so much, for who is and who he becomes...and if he wishes to marry man iam proud ....real masculinity and femininity is being relaxed about yourself, being strong and expressing your emotions....well done for that Dis...but i think your wrong, so wrong on this one.

  Billythekid: To tell the truth i am grateful for the internet. To tell the truth i think this internet site was set up to tell the truth about the Jehovers Witness religion. To tell the truth a lot of people that post here do so because " freespeach" is not tolerated in the J.W religion. To tell the truth a lot of posters seem to come hete for love and support rather than doctrinal issues. To tell the truth in replying to your post i realize i am off topic...so back on topic, if you go to tje brittish museum be sure to buy some roasted chestnuts from the street vendurs outside they are jummy
