When they ask in exasperation; "But what if it IS the Truth?"

by nicolaou in

this is how robert ingersoll responded to a fundamentalist's question, 'what if it's the truth?

' back in the 19th century.

"why," they say to me, "suppose all this should turn out to be true, and you should come to the day of judgement and find all these things to be true.

Thanks Nicolaou, that's one to remember :)

Is Watchtower's stance against education only for North American witnesses

by wannaexit in

i was reading on a european ex jw forum where some feel that watchtower's railing against higher education is primarily for north america issue.

this is due that many in usa and canada leave home to leave on campus.

it was mentioned that many young european jw attend universities and its not frowned on.. i found this odd because i heard what morris and losch said about education in italy.

Nope, definitely an issue in the UK too. At the last circuit assembly I attended about 4 years ago we had an idiot of an overseer blast HE for his entire talk, explicitly stating that enrolling at a university was grounds for disfellowshipping.

A friend called HQ to confirm this and was told it was NOT grounds, but all those who heard this moron say that it was took it as gospel and labelled checking with WT as murmuring!

So the vogue in my area is very much anti-HE :(

That is one deliriously happy plane DD :)

Flight jw1914 is so atrociously delayed that its passengers idle around in the departure lounge as it's renovated around them time and time again.

Then over the tannoy Kingdom Airways constantly remind everyone that the alternative train service is owned and run by Beelzebub Railways so better just sit tight...

Huh, this metaphor nonsense is fun!

Poster country flags and privacy

by Simon in

the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).

before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.

first, the reason i think it should be shown:.

I think LoveUni was just channelling his inner Prince Harry :/

Anyhoo...So have there been many incidences on this site of members being hoodwinked by shady people, Nigerian or otherwise?

Teehee LUHE, now you need to prepare to be inundated by jw meanies!

Some posters asking for it to be an option seem to be confused by its purpose, making it optional would render it redundant!

We need to get back to what matters most, namely, I want a pirate flag! Gimme gimme!

Hi! Long time lurker finally signing up!

ok, so the time has finally come to register an account on this site.

not that i think i have much to contribute to the discussions here, but more out of a desire to show that yet another person has learned ttatt.

i am a fader, not discussing ttatt with anyone as i know the inevitable outcome it would have.

Hi LMR, great to read your first post!

The fact that you came here for the occasional KM and weren't 'ensnared' by hideous venom spitting apostates, but were later driven back by the organisation's own twisted teachings fascinates me, as I did the same. It's not 'apostate lies' that WT fear us reading on the interwebs, it's well-researched facts and flawless reasoning!

Slowly acclimatising to life without a JW belief system is a humbling experience, you seem calm and collected about taking your time with new ideas, which is a super healthy attitude to have :)

All the best in your journey!

Thanks bohm, I was talking non-proxy using scammers, though if they see the site lists location by default surely they'd then use one anyway...hmmm

Hovering is a royal pain on mobile, but thanks :)

So if I came across a member who showed a UK flag then checked their post history, each post would display a different flag? Or do I have to rely on my iffy memory to stop and think 'hold on, sparlock4eva was showing as USA last Tuesday!' ?
