me: snobbery, ignorance, flourescent lighting and hands that are shedding innocent blood.

Well, it is an honest answer......................
Are Americans The Victims of a Hoax? Well, won't be the first time and won't be the last!
There are powers at work (Human and other) that are beyond our understanding and when "it" strikes at us, we try to explain it in any "acceptable" rational way. This is the ONLY way the public (and individuals) can deal with it.
"The truth IS stranger than fiction"...........now that IS a fact!
just thought id share with you.
any tips on dealing with them would be greatly appreciated..thanks!
yesterday, i had two lovely young men at my door - they were mormons.
Good points on all posts. I look at it this way: Why go from one problem (JW) to another new and fresh problem? All of it is still a PROBLEM! Do we as people need any more problems in our lives?---- Gluttons for punishment?
However, a chosen path is exercising free will. The decision is yours---good luck!
let me start out by saying that i would like nothing better than to see the society totally disappear one day and lose its controlling grip upon its members.
this forum is probably one of the most frequented sites for doubting jws and lurkers so i think it is important to be as skilled at combating the witnesses as is possible.
not every argument made against someone or something is a good one.
Good post! Points well made and will be taken into consideration and thought!
But, sometimes, it is so very easy to "generalize." Some people deserve it. Don't you think?
there are many different interpretations and views of what really happened, or didnt, when the u.s. navy embarked on a project to de-magnetize warships beginning in 1943. what has become known as the philadelphia experiment is not a subject to be taken lightly.
no matter what you believe about it or dont, its a fact that several people have died or been killed as a direct result of claiming involvement with the experiment.

The best kept secrets have NO record at all!
changed my mind again!
need to go talk to the people involved first.
new question... .
Trust must be earned and the worthy will honor it!
Mr. Kim
for the last 20 years of my association with the jws, i was, more or less, a hypocrite.
they taught things i didn't believe, but i went to the meetings and, by my presence there and by my "non-answers" i in essence supported something that i didn't believe.. it's a hard thing to say "i was a hypocrite.".
i was.. craig
Yes! I admit that I am a hypocrite at times. But then, I left the influence of the Borg!
i will be backing former vermont gov howard dean to run in '04.
my reason: clinton was quoted recently as saying that "strong and wrong always beats weak and right".
i remember during the run up to election in 2000 watching the bush vs. gore debates and thinking..i know gore is smarter but he comes across as weaker in debate.
I know! But, I can't say anything............................
hello.. this morning i glanced at the jw calendar for this month.
it has one of those spreads about how becoming a jw improves your life.
you know the type of thing: "when i learned from the jw's i was able to give up smoking/boozing/drugs/coffee/chocolate/naked bungee jumping etc etc".. i wonder if maybe the reason some people have these experiences is because, by becoming a jw, they simply replace one addiction with another?.
I agree with KGB.
