I don't anymore. I just highlight a bunch of sh*t and go my way. I was the most studious of my family and I just stopped because I lost faith. I am planning to do a resurgence of serious study from 2000 onward and print stuff out.

Prepare for meetings??
by Jen1 indo you prepare for meetings?
if i go i spend a few minutes underlinging my books/watchtower.. i have noticed that those who do the micks especially notice when your stuff is not underlined, and comments are made after the meeting, not so gentle hints, about study and preperation!
in other words i am being told off, its usually the ones who are highly critical of everything i do, sometimes their whole family seems to be straining to see if my stuff is underlined, i know this because i heard the daughter to family wisper her watchtower is not underlined!.

The murmuring phase is the beginning of an ex-JWs progression towards fading.
by Stand for Pure Worship ini suppose part of the fascination i have with this board is, the exotic nature of those making up the member population.
i say exotic because, as you yourselves will agree with, folks such as yourselves don't hang around the christian congregation for long upon making the decision that truth is not for you.
(rom 1:25) this "fading" thing spoken of here likely plays a role into why christians such as me find the average ex-jw to be a bit fascinating.

SFPW, would probably not tell an elder that he/she is on this website. If SFPW is not trolling, then he/she is ranking up a lot of hours here. I am not saying that your input shouldn't be allowed here btw SFPW, I do enjoy some of your input admittedly. But what annoys me is your perspective and how you take the moral high ground when you are breaking direction from the GB. You are no better than us.

I don't understand why a lot of you posters get so riled up when SFPW posts? I think that she/he is the BEST troll I have ever seen, and I do go on 4Chan quite a bit. SFPW disappoints Jehovah when ever she goes on this website really. The organization tells the members to STRAY away from apostate websites like it's the plague. Essentially, we are disease lepers cast way out side of Jerusalem, and SFPW is coming within our quarters to talk to us but risks contamination. Of course, I am appealing to his/her ego in this analogy by making her the one on the "high moral" ground, but my point stays the same. The fact that she is on this website doesn't make him/her better than any of us. Still breaking "Jehovah's" direction in secrecy.

I've met plenty of atheists around here, and a good number of my friends are atheists. It's fine, I have always been tolerant of other religions even in the deepest point of devotion as a JW. I guess I was always a moral relativist, so that helped out a lot.

LURKERS, FENCE-SITTING JW'S and FADERS, here is your LIST
by Terry in1.you cannot change what you refuse to confront.. look at how you are feeling most of the time.
that sense of going nowhere and feeling down is not because you aren't spritual enough.
it is because you are filling your life with empty purpose brought to you courtesy of the watch tower bible and tract society!.

I appreciate this a lot Terry. It's time for me to change my life.

Can the jw organization be reformed?
by wannaexit ini know that this has been discussed in the past but i wanted to get some fresh opinions.
there are many out there that recognize the "rot" that is in watchtower but still feel that there is a "wholesome" side to it and are trying to bring about change or reform from within.. in 2002 when the rose colored glasses came off for me and i truly started to understand ttatt, i still felt that there was some redemable aspects of the organization.. i felt that russell had some doctrinal things right.
i don't feel like that anymore.

I honestly believe so. It will cause such a paradigm shift that it may be counterproductive.
