do you feel intimidated or uncomfortable when giving your opinion?
do you shy away from expressing yourself if you believe that the majority will disagree??
?
Ummm, well, I don't really have my own opinions, if it's not in the Watchtower then it's all just worldly philosophy.
i am thoroughly conviced that if the bible is to be believed as it is written, then god has gone out of his way to want all humans to be atheists.
he goes out of his way to convince people he couldn?t possibly exist, and if he does exist, he wants no one to follow him.
with the exception of the books of job, daniel and ezekiel almost all the other books of the old testament are full of gore, murder and genocide either from god himself, or upon the direct orders of god.

If this is true:
Again, you err. My Lord, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH... actually DID suffer. Greatly. He did NOT have perfect health and he DID get sick. When seeing him, most CRINGED... because of the state of his flesh: he was RIDDLED WITH DISEASE, even diseases usually found only in women! For EVERY TIME he healed someone, he did so by taking THEIR "sin" (corruption)... into HIS body! Thus, when they came to arrest him, he was SO disfigured, that they fell away from him!
then the sacrifice, according to YOUR FATHER'S own book (Bible) would be worthless, despicable.
Malachi 1:8:
And when YOU present a blind [animal] for sacrificing: "It is nothing bad." And when YOU present a sick one: "It is nothing bad."'"
"Bring it near, please, to your governor. Will he find pleasure in you, or will he receive you kindly?" Jehovah of armies has said.
And Leviticus 22:20
Anything in which there is a defect YOU must not present, because it will not serve to gain approval for YOU.
And Deuteronomy 15:21
And in case there should prove to be in it a defect, being lame or blind, any bad defect, you must not sacrifice it to Jehovah your God.
And we shouldn't forget: Hebrews 9:14
How much more will the blood of the Christ, who through an everlasting spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works that we may render sacred service to the living God.
So now you claim:
When seeing him, most CRINGED... because of the state of his flesh: he was RIDDLED WITH DISEASE, even diseases usually found only in women!
Well all I can say to that is EWWWW! and also AAAHAHAHAHA!

2003/2004 special assembly day report.
theme: serving jehovah with a complete heart.
brief note: no new light this year, but a couple of new changes i have not seen before.
How on earth does a one day assembly cost so much that by the afternoon they still have an $11k deficit??? I've worked the counting tables, I know how the contributions pour in. So do we assume that one day of an assembly now costs even more than $11,000??? Money grab.
most of you know that my mother passed away on september 12. the woman that was caring for here failed to disclose some information and outright lied and deceived us.
she claimed my mother was scared of her reflection and that was why in my mothers china cabinet she had put papertowels over the glass.
well, after my mother died carolyn showed up and told my sister "by the way i can't accept the christmas gift you sent me in december.
Was the woman an "unskilled" helper, or a licensed nurse practitioner or RN? You may have a little more power than you think. All of these actions should be reported to the licensing board or the help agency who sent her out. Contact her employers. Her behavior was not only inappropriate, but unethical, and other concerned parties should be notified.

the watchtower society tries to "demonize" the internet.
what damage do you think the internet has caused on the jehovah's witness religion??
?
Sally, I believed 100% in the doctrine. I only came here because my husband stumbled on some stuff on an unrelated internet site. We were dumbfounded to find evidence that we were involved in a cult. If it hadn't been for the internet, I would still have been believing 100%, and feeling guilty for not doing enough in "Jehovah's service." So count two more people who were NOT "on their way out already anyways, " who found their way out as a direct result of information on the internet.
and Thank you Simon and all others who use the internet to help free us 100% true believers from lies and guilt.

incidentally, here is the site:
he was looking for information on cults, concerning another cult, and discovered that JWs fit in every respect the definition given.
Knowledge is Freedom.
hah! funny. evokes images of paper training...
not sure if you remember me but i have posted here a few times and i read the boards whenever i get a chance (not very often now because baby no.
i have a question for you all reguarding my cousin-in-law, hope you can help me.
he is baptised but fell in love with a worldy girl and was pretty much living with her for a year but still attending meeting (the old double-life).
he could go back to the original congregation and "confess" but not be "repentant." They would surely disfellowship him. Or he could write a letter of disassociation. Or he could just quit looking over his shoulder. If they come around and he wants to be free of them, he can just tell them what he feels. They will do the rest. His JW family will probably shun him though, and maybe this is what he is trying to avoid by not talking to the elders.
Really, there is not enough information here. What does your cousin want?
