What do you think?

Will Tony's talk be broadcasted on JW tv?

I don't think so.

Interesting Religious Conversation with my Daughter...

by garyneal in

yesterday, my wife was getting ready for the kh and told the kids that they had to get ready too.

i figured, oh well, they're heading to the hall at least i can get the time i need to catch up on some house work and what not.

before i know it, the wife gave up and allowed the kids to stay.

You did great. You strengthened your childrens thinking skills.

I'll keep that post as a good example for when my son is older.

Maybe the announce what we already speculated after the annual meeting of a "new 10 hour pioneer class."

This would test the faith of all those that are under 10 hours to become pioneers.

Please,I need non-"apostate" info./sites for my exit case on following topics

by Kensho in

i'm preparing for my exit after 4 years of de-programming myself from the cult (much help from here..thank you) been fading for as long as i can to keep decades of family and friends, but the moment the "real truth" is arriving soon.. i desire to make an intelligent defense for my actions and of course will never get to first base using any resource material that will shut down the process by my blind brothers and family members.. i have collected some resources on my own, but would appreciate help in the following.. 1) child abuse.

2) ngo un docs.

3) follow the money any public records of what the borg spends or invest our money on.

A good non apostate site is Wikipedia.

There you find also a lot of information on child abuse cases. A lot of child abuse cases you find on various newspapers and famous media sites. Just let google search for you.

UN NGO scandal you find in The Guardian. They made an article about it. A few days later the WTS hypocritically cut ties to the UN.

I AGREE WITH THE JWs: THE 'SOUL' DOESN'T EXIST

by NAVYTOWN in

jw
friends

i agree with the witnesses about almost nothing, but i do think they have the right idea when it concerns the 'soul'.

it is my belief that there is no such entity as a 'soul' that resides in a human being.

the idea originated in ancient, pre-scientific eras.

Daniel1555

How can you be so sure and dogmatic about it?

Do you have any evidence the soul or your consciousness DOES NOT continue to live in another world after the physical death?

Let yourself be surprised what happens at your death.

Evolution and spirits

by Chris Tann in

as of now iam making an unbiased examination of evolution.

however one thing keeps me hanging on to the belief of a supreme spirit being; the existence of spirits.

i have heard countless accounts of people who have experienced frightening encounters with evil forces.

Daniel1555

Evolution does not have anything to do with spirits or even god.

Evolution is the scientific theory of the origin of species. It has nothing to do if supernatural forces exist.

You don't need to be an atheist if you are convinced about evolution.

900 Top Scientists Sign Statement Skeptical of Macro-Evolution

by Perry in

we are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural .

selection to account for the complexity of life.

Daniel1555

What I got from reading scientific material about evolution is: There is no such thing as micro- or macro-evolution. Only people who don't really understand evolution talk about this. (I read a lot about but I can't say I truly understand evolution. There needs a lot more studying to do for me. However many evolutionary biologists don't understand everything as the more they find out even more needs to be researched).

Most Jdubs are nice people, not really evil - give us all a break from this

by hamsterbait in

Not all JWs commit evil acts.

I know many who don't agree with "shunning". And I know many who would never let their child die. One sister who is working ss operational nurse in a big hospital told me that many JWs in that hospital agree to blood transfusion, just secretly.

I think most JWs are not evil at all. They are just victims of thst cult.

Hamsterbait or Navytown

You probably have been a JW before. Have you been that terribly evil person before you became an ex JW?
