Some people need religion. I knew some brothers and becoming a JW was the best
thing for them. Their life before becoming a JW, dangerous characters out
of control. Some people need the invisible GOD..
i realize that many here still have a form of spirituality or faith, and i mean no disrespect to those individuals.
i suppose i am posting this question to those, like myself, who have come to the conclusion that religion in general is a major hindrance to the progress of our species and needs to be put aside so that we can advance to our full potential.
so my question is, do you think this will ever actually happen, and how do you think we can get there?

hey guys!
some of you might know about my latest clash with the elders.
i see the pressure this cult is putting on my family.
Billboards signs "Why do JW's break up families"? Ask your local JW.
The problem, money..
id wonder how many wives of servants had the upper hand so to speak, on issues, that of course, were supposed to be private, yet gee lets be honest, husbands and wives talk.
its nature.
so if you were a wife of a servant how much did you get involved?
I never told my wife anything,she never ask. I figured why should she lose
sleep at night.
i cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.
so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.
how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.
The current sexagesimal system of time measurement dates to
approximately 2000 B.C. So you can see a direct coalition with
ages in the Bible and the discovery of measurement of time.
Mankind prior to 2000 B.C living 900 years, afterward, look you
can't have a birthday every 3 or 4 months.

If you divide those numbers (900 years) by the number of full moons
in a year (12-13) you get between 70-80 years. Plus can you imagine
filing 900 tax returns.
according to this article, a recent pew research concluded that until 2050, an estimated cumulative net number of 65.050.000 will opt out of the christian faith, and the trend is accelerating.
on the other hand, the "unaffiliated" will have a net growth of 61.490.000.. eden.
2050..(1)Moon bases will play a crucial role in global conflicts.
(2)Air travel, transparent walls will flood the cabin with natural light
and best of all, you'll be able to get anywhere on the planet in under
two and a half hours.
(3)You we be able to simply run a scanner over your body and the
results will be forwarded to a health network.
(4) Hillary Clinton's grandchild will be about the right age to run for president.
(5) and finally all JW will go to heaven, the reason, there will be only 144000
on this planet.
i stole this, from of all places, rick fearon.

please think of more.. things i trust more than the jehovah's witnesses governing body+ the media+ mexican tap water+ cappuccino from bill cosby+ a bigfoot sighting+ a politician who says "trust me"+ an al qaeda who wants flying lessons, but skips landing and take-offs+ a hillary clinton war story+ bill clinton wanting to give a speech at an all-female school+ gas station sushi+ a brian williams or bill o'rielly news report+ email from a nigerian prince.
Trusting my golf comrade when he tell me he shot a 75 on a day
when I wasn't there. His average score is 105.
i am sitting at the recent assembly, bored out of my mind (have you ever heard anyone call these things fun?
) and the next speaker walks out on stage.
he starts off with an illustration.
How about this, "crack cocaine is more dangerous then Heroin".
Would you tell a young child that. It's a terrible comparison.
If he had said Satan and pedophile are equally bad, ok that's better.
i am new to this forum - it is only a couple of weeks since i have allowed myself to acknowledge and research my doubts.
i am trying to be fair by reading both sides of the story and considering jw official explanation of confusing matters.
one of the issues i have been looking at is shunning - and i was shocked to see the misleading information about shunning on the jw.org website: .
You may hear people making this statement "they are just some disgruntle
ex members". But you will never hear this said about ex- JW members. What
you will hear, that org.break up families. That is the first thing that come out
someone mouth when they have a JW in their family, they may say my sister
became A JW and doesn't come around anymore. Face it they not only shun
ex members but also those that refused to except their truth. CULT.

"wouldn't you do whatever was necessary to protect your child".
OK son listen carefully to my words "It is more dangerous to look directly
into the sun then playing with fire.
