i just wanted to intoroduce myself.

i have been lurking for some time and finally decided to register and hopefully contribute to this great forum.. i am in my mid 30s and have never been in the truth.

my wife became a jw several years ago and since she is a (mostly) stay at home mom my two boys are also jws.

Welcome noob!!! And please, we don't 'convert' to atheism and we don't become atheists because of our experience with the DarkTower as if it were an emotional response to being jilted by the goddess.

It's about the evidence, or lack thereof, for a creator. How many times do we have to keep saying this? Stop projecting. Please. Big smiley.

But welcome! Hopefully soon you can bring along wifey, and that would be most excellent.

What is the purpose of life?

by slimboyfat in

while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

Viv,

Nine months ago Looter pretended to be 17. Now he's almost 21.

At this rate of aging 3 years every 4 months he will be 30 in one year and an old man in approximately 4 years.

Oh, wait . . .

Thank you.

Looter, lay off the young guy nonsense. Based on one of your OPs you turned 18 five months ago. Now you are 20. How is your dad? Your mom? What music do you listen to? What's the name of your favorite groups? Songs?

If you are 18 or 20 you should be out hanging with friends, playing sports and chasing tail. WTF are you doing on this site talking about religion? And based on your bio you joined this site 3 years ago, when you were 15???

None of us are going to take you seriously until you give up the charade. We still won't take you seriously, but giving up the charade will help.

Pastor Steven Anderson made headlines in the US after he praised the shooting that left dozens dead at an Orlando gay club in June.

What's The First "Worldly" Thing You Did When You Exited The Cult?

by pale.emperor in

when you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.

for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.

i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.

DJS

Sane and sober. Kept being no. 1 dad. Made good decisions. Back to college for the next 5 years. Holidays. And lots and lots of girl parts.

DJS

RF,

Lots uf us were victims of child abuse who don't see evil where it does not exist.

Having said that you have my admiration. for doing something about it. I applaud your efforts.

RF,

Bringing your DarkLordIan judgmentalism, which they routinely expressed over petty, coscience, individual matters of no concern to them and which resulted in immeasurable harm to all of us, deserves exactly what it's getting.

You chose to bring your narrow minded, Watchtower esque judgments onto the world wide web for no other reason than to spread your infection. Listening to your fake reasons and support of your judgments reminds me of every WATCHTOWER I read wherein the DarkLords made rules about conscience matters, demonized the innocent and set all of the publishers against one another for no other objectives than to control the sheep and to enforce their superiority..

I must say you were paying attention to the techniques they used. Vile, evil techniques.

That is bullying behavior.

You are getting what you deserve. Silence, RF, is an option. You are NOT the victim here.

Yes, it clearly wasn't enemas.

RF,

The longer this OP continues the more clear it becomes that its objective was to reveal that thee is more pious and righteous than me, she and he. You took an innocuous, harmless action and demonized it. To make sure we clearly understood: Inappropriate Behavior. Yes, the queen has spoken and it is NOT up for discussion (the DarkLords would be soooo proud to know their work continues).

We got it. Thank you. When your OP started to be shot down by everyone other than your pious breakfast club buds you piled on the "I'm more righteous than he and the" by inferring this person was a pedophile. Then when that was exposed you clearly stated your reason de existence: Rebelfighter is more righteous than he, she and me and the rest of us heathens. RF follows a much more virtuous and moral path.

When I exposed you for that you double downed on your MOO by telling me and the world that you are the most charitable person EVER. Is that supposed to make up for the fact that the majority of us think you a narrow-minded, judgmental control freak? The afterglow of your piousness and halo-ness is awesomeness to this sinful gollum. Thank you, your worshipfulness; Smeagle will do better in the future.

I've ignored the fact that charitable acts haven't anything to do with this OP (not really, I just mentioned it). Hitler was nice to his housekeeper, btw.

You remind me of those uber-dub sisters who had no post high school education but who proved their superiority over the rest of us mortals by their service, keeping to the strict code of rules created by the DarkLords and occasionally reminding the rest of us that they were just a little bit better than he, she and me. You remember them. They typically had a 'special' diet or employed some weird-ass health rituals that were designed to make them more elite. What was yours? It couldn't have been enemas, obviously.

I would rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. Cause the sinners are much more fun.
