Born-in memories, etc this is my first post, guys ;-)
by ThunderStruck52 inso i have decided to jump in and for the first time and share some of my random memories that seem to have been floating around my mind more and more lately.
mostly if all the weird anxiety i experience from time to time is related to it.
i guess that would be a different topic to post!.

Dis, might have been size issues or something simple like email address matching etc.
I was careful to use the exact same email Witness.

How do Jehovah's Witnesses get from 1914 to 1919?
by God_Delusion inhi guys and gals,.
i have written an article that explains how the watchtower society gets from 607 bce to 1914 (http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/faqs/why-is-1914-important/) but i need some input so that i can write an article on how they get from 1914 to (via 1918) 1919.. are we talking about ezra, 1:2-4 when the persian king cyrus allows the israelites to go and rebuild the temple 3 and a half years after exiling them?
if so, how has the watchtower used this passage to get to 1919??.

There appears to be a parallel to this in the three-and-a-half-year period from Jesus’ enthronement in the heavens in October 1914 until his coming to inspect professed Christians as judgment began with the house of God.
What a complete load of bollox..

The simple fact of the matter is, most JWs don't REALLY care if their beliefs are true or not. They follow WT.
This is so disturbingly true.. I just spent 6 months showing a whole group of elders and entire library of multiple decades of false teachings, false prophecies, false predictions, medical quackery, hocus-pocus and outright idiocy, lunacy and lies from no other source but their own literature which is overseen, written and published by none other than their very own governing body, their anointed and their own faithful and discreet slave.
And in that 6 months I never got a single intelligent response from any one of them. Zero. Zombie brain dead.
These people really and truly are mentally imprisoned and have given up thought itself to blind stupidity and idiocy.
I have little sympathy I have to say. I can't even respect them any more.

Euphemisms for cursing among JWs
by gaiagirl inin an effort to show that they had put on a 'new' personality, many who joined the wtbts would adjust their speech patterns to avoid common expressions of cursing or profanity.
yet there would still arise times when they would become frustrated, angry or disgusted at someone or at a situation, and wish to express their feelings.
here are a couple of substitutes for cursing heard among jws ...... forget you.

Found this on the subject: And I think i agree..
There are a few interesting things on cursing and so called "bad words" that I would like to share:
First of all, cursing is the only thing where it's okay to do what you are describing but not say what it is. Nothing else is like this. It's okay to say "murder" but not okay to murder; it's okay to say "rape" but it's not okay to rape. Yet, it's wrong to say "shit" but it's okay to shit.
I remember my parents got upset once when I said the word "fuck" to which I responded, "Hey, I'm just saying it, you actually did it." So why is that?
Why are bad things good words and good things bad words? Rape is a bad thing but a good word and shit (or fuck or ass) is a good thing but a bad word.In fact, not only is it okay to do the things the curse words describe if you don't do it life will end.
Try not to shit. Never ever shit or piss and the result will be that you will die. Likewise, fucking creates life; if no one ever fucked the human race would become extinct. I think the F-word should be famine instead of fucking. Famines destroy life and fucking creates life, yet which one is considered the bad word?
If it's a good thing it should be a good word. Why are the worst things--famine (the f-word), cancer (the c-word), war, murder, rape-- "good" words but things that unite us (like shitting) or create life (like fucking) considered bad? -

Atheism Explained
by Dis-Member inthought some might find this interesting... .
where do you get your morality from?
don't assume that atheists don't have morals.

The people who become the most convinced atheists are those who were the most serious about religion. They tend to give short shrift to the possibility that any human religion, or any ideas that closely resemble it, could actually be true, because they have already fully explored that line of inquiry and found it to be a dead end. They see no reason to waste any more time exploring "possibilities" that have zero chance of being accurate explanations of reality.
I think that's where I am at. But I am not atheist. I still believe.. or maybe hope is a better word. I have just taken a break in looking for God among the religions of humans. I tried very hard and sincerely for around 35 years and did not find him there.
