Point scoring from people of the same ilk; ie god, jesus,salvation. Whats the point? we print more than you, we preach more than you, we help people more than you. If they need some invisible entity as their reason for doing this where is their humanity!

Is this really a place for Jehovah's Witnesses/Friends
by jeff spreng ini ask this because i was considering rejoining and the stories i have read only remind me of what was done to me.
is there any clean place to go where good people and fellowship can be had.
it sounds like maybe the people here should get together and start there own thing, like the reorganized latter day saints.

Sorry i don't quite understand,what are you considering rejoining? If its the JWs why did you leave in the first place?. If not, do you feel you have to be a part of some organization for some reason?

Status quo? Or tell ttatt?
by ILoveTTATT insupposing i can pull off moving to the other city without the elders successfully finding me and forcing me to go to a jc or something.... should i ever tell my mom ttatt?
or should i let sleeping dogs lie?
it is extremely unlikely that dad will tell her ttatt... he prefers, 99% of the time, to not say anything rather than fight.

Most ex jw's want to tell their family members.TTATT because of selfish reasons,why? IMO its because their life, being, self, was not their own choosing. their parents brought them into this world [hopefully] to have a good and fulfilled life I.E. this life whereas, when your family choose to live the jw life they jeopardize their childrens happiness because they [the parent or parents] are always living in hope and as the old saying goes; people who live in hope never live in the present.I would always by way of normal conversation point out TTATT but stick to one subject at a time. Good luck. Oh bye the way selfishness on our parts is not always a bad thing, its sometimes essential for our wellbeing.

Anyone Can be baptised - Can't they?
by tim hooper indoes a new convert have to be approved for baptism by the elders or someone similar i wonder?.
years ago, at a circuit assembly, i came across a young man whose jw father had thrown him out of the family home because of his abusiveness.
he'd got nowhere to go so he travelled south and finished up attending our local assembly.

I love how the guy in the commentary says; she just HAD! to get in .He didn't consider that she may have taken that action to show what a mockery the whole thing is to common sense!.

Best "wake-up-call"-arguments?!
by Mr Fool inhi everyone .
it was not my intention to write here anymore, but i found things that caught my interest, things that i feel to share in the hope of someone finds it interesting.. the core is that the wt surprisingly admits that what "we" believe in, is after all, only opinions (awake 2000 june 22 page9-11 "do not be a victim of propaganda).. anyone with a scan of thiese pages would make my day ;-) the questions/arguments below are built around this:.
feel free to find better arguments ;-).

John mann ?????? Are you for real. Kate wild you seem to be clinging on to your belief in god like a person clings on to disintegrating raft in a stormy ocean . I fear as it totally breaks up you will have difficult decision to make.How close are you to that.Many of us have been at the same crossroads

fernando this so called evil step father according to religious belief was not created evil but supposedly a perfect angel, so he must have made a choice to become evil i.e.sin from where do you think he made this choice?In order to choose there has to be a selection, it then follows someone must provide the selection; example you cannot choose between an apple or an orange if you are not provided the selection.Therefore who provided the selection for the perfect angel who as you believe became the evil step father? It follows there is only one conclusion HIS CREATOR so the sin must have started with your so called heavenly father,therefore he must have came to earth to be horribly tortured and die to forgive himself WEIRDO.and remember i am only following your logic to its inevitable conclusion

John Mann by what Inspiration did Jesus speak truth into your heart by that I mean what method would he need to inspire him? And you say you had to love him before he did this? Surely love is unconditional otherwise according to the Christian ethos he would not have sacrificed himself to save you? You say he is the way and the life surely that is your hope which is related to faith which is related to hope etc.etc.etc but this belief does not guarantee the outcome you wish.
