Does Anyone Still Believe in God?

by LaurenM in

do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

How do we know the WTS monitors this site? Can anyone tell me for sure?

i am noticing that when some of the ads run, the page keeps scrolling upward towards them.

this is annoying and should be addressed, as it makes some threads almost impossible to read.

have same effect on two different oss, (same browser type, firefox).

Anytime I have this issue I delete my browsing history. It always works for me.

What's the craziest thing someone INFORMED on you about?

by Londo111 in

the culture of jws as encouraged by the watchtower is one of informing on one another, reporting to either the elders or ones designated head.

whats the wackiest thing that someone reported on you?

im not talking about a black-and-white watchtower rule that would land you in a judicial committee, but some judgmental nonsense that someone thought they should turn you in about?.

I once got pulled into the back room for cutting my grass on a hot summer day without my shirt on. It was 25 some years ago when I first came into the borg. I use to be fairly fit (played organized sports as a teenager, and loved showing off my abs!) 4 pioneers sisters were doing my street and evidently saw me. I guess my 'half naked' appearance was too much for them to handle.

Psychology: Sick of Elder Low tone slow paced talk

by Aprostate Exam in

now after 21 years in professional psychology/humanities, i love talking to brothers that adopt a slow pace in speech, and low tone of voice when they deal with the rank and cold un-associated ones.

my mirroring their present state in personality seems to psych them out for a bit.

i then tap into my fast injection of logical sense, that throws them off.

OMG! This was soooooooooo much fun! My sheep herding call went awesomely! I started off thanking them for their willing spirit to visit me. I made sure to keep eye contact with both of them. I spoke deliberately, slowly, and made darn sure they knew I was in charge. The call didn't last more than 15 minutes. I could tell they were VERY uncomfortable after 5 minutes! I don't think I will see either of them in the near future.

I have a visit schedule this weekend because of being 'spiritually weak." I will give this a go and report back my findings. Should be interesting!

EXACTLY Why JW's Are NOT Christian

by Perry in

a lot of people, ex-jws, believers and unbelievers alike, think that jw's are just a somewhat kooky brand of christianity.

is it possible to "try and follow jesus" and not be christian?

what exactly makes someone a christian?

Jesus Christ has always had people since the time of the apostles who experienced Salvation through faith in Christalone.

Perry, please go right on doing what others have done before, what even the organization most of us left has done before- go right on deciding on some made up theology without a shred of proof, and then accuse nonbelievers of doing what you do.

I wish I could double like!

Actually, she is not in jail because she WONT do her job. She is in jail because she HAS and WILL obstruct others from doing their jobs. Her obstruction is contempt.

Still, Davis was offered an accommodation:

Based on what her lawyer published, that is all she wants.

Yes, and she keeps refusing the said accommodation. She can walk free and have no legal stance with 'gay' marriage. SHE keeps insisting if she is released, she will NOT ALLOW her clerks to issue licenses even though the courts said she didn't have to issue them herself. In other words, she wants to impose her religious views on ALL in the county where she serves.

Here's how it should typically work: If a same-sex couple shows up at a county clerk's office to get married, an individual official can refuse to grant them a license. But the official would have to hand the case over to another county staffer, who would then give the license to the couple. The issue is that individual government employees may refuse — based on genuine religious objections — to marry same-sex couples, but the county government as a whole has a compelling interest to accommodate the couple and avoid violating their constitutional right to marry.

Davis's office is refusing to issue any marriage licenses, which lets her office say it isn't discriminating against same-sex couples, since no one — not even opposite-sex couples — can marry. But even that defense hasn't worked: Gov. Beshear's office concluded that it's a clerk's legal duty to issue marriage licenses, and courts have agreed, so Davis is violating her clerk's oath to uphold the law by stopping her ENTIRE office from marrying anyone.

Still, Davis was offered an accommodation: She could let her deputy clerks marry people, while she excuses herself from the process. She refused, saying she would interfere if she was released from jail. That indicates Davis doesn't just want to excuse herself from marrying same-sex couples, but wants to be able to impose her religious beliefs on her whole office — and, as a result, the entire county government. And it means the judge can't release Davis from jail if he wants to keep marriage licenses flowing, since she would stop deputy clerks from issuing licenses.

So, let me sum this up all nice and easy.....Davis wants to IMPOSE her religious dogma on EVERYONE in her county. That, my friend, is illegal.
