  as many may be aware.

  i don't like the man.

  Given that the vast majority of members on this board once rejected evolution I find it odd how people now embrace someone who claimed that said rejection was akin to Holocaust denial and even support this comparison.

  Also see people who raised their children in religious homes agreeing with Dawkins when he says that this is child abuse, apparently oblivious (?) to what they are saying about themselves there.

  Quelly, if you're going to start a new thread everytime you find a verse the witnesses ignore it might take a lot of work.

  i am seeing a lot of young mormon men out lately, in their ties and nametags.

  The one time a Mormon ever preached to me he sat down next to me at a park bench whilst I was reading a book, then tapped me on the shoulder and said 'I really like your coat' followed by a painful silence before he offered me a Mormon pamphlet. I accepted because I was genuinely interested in what it had to say and then he asked if he could have my number. Hell no.

  Ministerial training school graduate it was not.

  FORGIVENESS ... You owe it to your health

  i'm cleaning up my home of unnecessary magazines/newsletters that i have accumulated over the years.

  while i was working as an employee i did not feel like i had the time to read them.

  now that i'm not working as an employee but work as a volunteer to network and maintain workplace skills, i seem to have more time to read.. after reading many threads by former jws, i thought that the following article might help some to heal.

  Outlaw, I like you but I think you're being unnecessarily harsh here, lots of ExJWs have wrote about the importance of forgiveness, and there's no shame in sharing Hassan's wisdom, a lot of people here have never read him after all.

  Don't worry however, I'm sure Robert will forgive you.

  I think Robert is a valuable member here, Jgnat's never been a JW either but who would dare to claim she doesn't get it?

  We've all been hurt by someone after all.

  Remember this picture?

  2. experiences

  i went to a small non-denominational church yesterday - first time in a church since i left the borg 4 years ago - and this is how i observed several of the members singing.. .

  boy... do those people love to sing.. .

  i try not to judge the sincerity of others but i was a little put off by the experience because it looked fake, showy display-ish.

  hi, i'm new here and this is my first post.

  i've commented on several posts before and enjoy the feedback on this site above them all.

  i was researching some things and this question came to mind.

  The Society used to believe the little horn coming out of the beast was protestants coming out of the Catholic Church.

  Personally, I don't think the Society are relevant enough to get a whole bible prophecy dedicated to them. They just feel significant because you were once a member.

  Memorial 2014, my observations and the "New Light" for the Anointed ones

  by JustHuman14 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have attended to the memorial, just for family reasons, but i managed to fish some points from the talk, that are tricky ones.

  ok, most of the time has been consumed to point out who should partake the emblems, the 2 class dogma, and very little about christ, apart from the usual.

  i thought the focus should be on christ and the fact he died for a course.. according to the speaker, the number of the partakers is 13,600 (i don't recall the exact number but it was just about there).

  Wt. theology on this is just a version of Catholicism's Provisional Salvation and John Calvin's Limited Atonement.

  Nah, it's more pelagian than anything else.
