how many of you on this forum were born into the jw faith?
do you think this put you at a disadvantage when leaving the org.
do you think that someone who becomes a witness later in life would have an easier time adjusting back to a "normal" life?

christians should all honestly and thoroughly investigate the contradictions between the old and new testaments in terms of the descriptions of god.. .
the god of the new testament is described as a god of love, mercy and peace.. .
the god of the old testament is described as jealous, vengeful god, a war-monger.
I knew you were all uneducated white trash!!! I just knew it!!!!
just thought i'd share with you some wierd happenings in my house..... i woke up one morning to see the figure of a young boy standing looking at me.
he was there for a split second then vanished.
i wasn't afraid - it was just sort of wierd.
That's assuming that what you can't explain or measure with your trusty set of tape measures is myth and superstition. I try not to close my mind off to things or ideas which I cannot readily explain. I reserve judgement until all sides have been thoroughly investigated. Isn't that how many of us got to this forum?

I guess it's safer and less troubling on the subconcious to believe that everything can be explained logically. But many things aren't. We are specks of dust in this great universe and to believe we have all the answers is foolish. JW's tend to think this way....My family firmly believes they have all the answers because "god is on their side". This too is safer and less troubling on the subconcious...
it's pretty obvious that you haven't posted here for a while.
maybe it was all my ribbing about the killer budgies.. .
well whatever it was, just note that i am really a very friendly guy and i was only gently teasing.
Interesting forum...JW's look down upon apostates and apostates look down upon JW's....Ultimately, I don't think you can remove the ORG. mindset from any individual who's been subjected to it's philosophy.
first of all, i am agnostic.
maybe there's a god, maybe not.
so i wonder, do i actually have to believe in god in order to be saved?
Maybe we'll all be "saved" or be given a second chance. a place where mental and physical imperfection will no longer be a factor. Where only the true language of God will be preached without human ego and pride to get in the way. Only then will we look back and understand how depraved we really were.
im giving up the dreaded weed today the old cigarettes any helpful practical suggestions and sucess strories would be much appreciated
Wish I had some words of wisdom for you! I stopped smoking about ten years ago (about a pack a day for about five years). I just decided to stop and I've had no cravings ever since. Good luck!
i was just going through some of my pink floyd cd's.
gosh, i love this band.
i took it personally when roger waters left.
"Comfortably Numb"
Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now.
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts,
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more ...Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
good morning everyone, (it's 4am here) .
i see the e-watchman site is advertised here, so have any of you read from it?
if so what's your opinions of it?.
I take it stan didn't like the website! I doubt he even read any of the essays! Of course, anyone with a diff. opinion on jw doctrine must be an idiot!?! Thanks for those words of wisdom, stan... ahem.
