does anyone want to bet that they'll be using this at the end of the a$$embly as a witness to how great and united they are?
Bluesapphire,
I agree with you. Good points!
what happened or was said, that made you decide, enough is enough, i am out of here ?????
?
The hypocrisy was so thick and the "Borg-Org" mentality made everything a joke and waste of time. I could actually see the lies bleeding from the minds of the R&F.
Also, something that made me so upset that I almost grabbed someone and slammed him against the wall (but I didn't--I just acted like I did not see anything) I saw someone taking money out of the donation box and putting the money in his pocket! I got a lot more to say about this and I am still thinking about pressing theft charges against this person just because $300.00 of that money (cash) was what I just dropped in the box around twenty minutes before! I even had checks from time to time that was NEVER CASHED. --Just turned up missing! Oh well! At least I never lost that money and it did not go to waste!!
It is a good thing I never pursued anything. I could have done a lot of damage to many people in a fit of rage. But it just does not matter anymore! NOBODY CARES in the Security Kingdom Hall anyway.
some of my comments (and that of others) on other threads have highlighted a basic differance between those of us who belieave jesus christ did exist, and those of us who recon he did not.
i belieave jesus as described in the gospells did not exist.
so i decided to start a thread that adresses this issue face on.
IMHO
Did Jesus Christ exist at all? In my mind and heart and from what I see and have seen, YES!
That is how I feel about it. I have no need or desire to prove anything.

after reading so many experiences about how being a jw affected a person's life, i wonder how your life has turned out because you were at one time a witness.
Herk,
That is really cool. I wish we could make it come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one of my witness family members agreed to take a look at crisis of conscience, and after.
perusing the first couple of chapters, said that she thought it could be all made up.
agreed that the documents presented could be legitimate, but as far as franz's personal.
Ray Franz is a better man because he DID STAND UP FOR THE RIGHTEOUS THINGS in secret and public and he left the Borg-Org to better himself and to "get out from among the UN-righteous ones." He stood up and told the TRUTH. Much different from "the truth" fed to the everyday JW!
i'm wondering if there are many truly militant apostates out there....... some real god hating watchtower bashing hard guys....i just read the "bill bowen update" thread and feel that all opposition is good opposition, and knowing that the wt society can see any posts we make, also feel its a shame they can see squabbles among their enemies.
The WTB&TS ALWAYS HAVE AN EXCUSE. NO SOLUTION, JUST EXCUSES..............................
.
can you see the watchtower saying, no more door to door preaching, lets say within the next ten years ?.
Hamas,
Now that PIG was Cool!
just wonder what you all thought of the following topic....thanks!

irradiation can be used to kill bacteria that cause food poisoning, such as salmonella, campylobacter and e. coli.
Well, enjoy the food.

FjToth,
Very good points. You speak truthfully and seem to be a good person. Forty years? Man did you pay your dues or what.
How Screwed Up Are You Because You Were A Jehovah's Witness? To answer that question:
I would have to say about average. I keep to myself, business and my research and development team. I do not trust very many people as my experience in JWs and of course dealing with the public, the military and the Government; have shown me that many if not most people will use you as an individual to get what they want and toss you away like everyday trash. And this is just the business world and the Government. There are so many different situations and various possibilities that anything could and does happen.
