Two JWs visited
by Listener ini just had two female jws visit, one in their 30s and the other about 20. .
they invited me to their convention to learn about jesus, they said it is three days long but i don't need to attend every day and she highlighted one session at 11.15am where i could learn about jesus.. i said to her that i wouldn't be interested in attending the convention because i believed what a man called rutherford said about religion being a snare and a racket.
they wanted to know who this rutherford guy was and after explaining knew who i was talking about.

Death is not something to be feared!
by iconoclastic inscience can explain how of things, but it cannot explain why of certain things (for example, why did life arise from non-life and evolved from simpler creatures to more complex life forms only to die and disappear?
) so are the conflicted religions whose chief concern is in safeguarding each ones separate identity..
next option is to look for pearls among the stonesusing power of our own reason.

Extreme emotions re today's watchtower
by Tornintwo ini was supposed to attend the meeting today, one of my once a month duties for the sake of my family and my fade.
i read the wt and i just can't stomach going.... what this wt does is again and again reiterate that only jws will survive the coming destruction and that they should be happy about this and raise ourselves erect...eg:.
we cannot expect that many people will suddenly convert to true christianity.

This is today's wt?!
Today may be a good day to leave some jw/UN stuff out! sigh, I suppose it wouldn't really matter. All lies from evil apostates who probably have infiltrated the UN and made fake letters and papers.......

I liked your post very much! I understand it but then I have never been a jw nor an atheist.
How do jw's see Ecc 3:11? particularly "putting eternity..."?
NKJV-
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
NIV-

The elderly sisters are at it again.
by John Aquila inawhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.
and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.
i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.

Old brainwashing/blood
by rebel8 inas you probably know, this is me and you can imagine that the old brainwashing sucks for me sometimes.
i don't believe anything wts says about medical care, i don't agree, and i have seen the proof they are wrong.
i've been out for a long time.

Well! I didn't know you wrote a book? How did I miss that? You shouldn't have been so shy about it, you are well respected poster here and I'm sure many will read it. Congratulations! (adding to my list of must reads this winter)
Wishing you great success with the book and thanks for helping to get the word out about jw's.
all the best,

Where's this going? American soldiers call on Jehovah
by fulltimestudent inthe song is 'days of elijah,' and the bit i'm referring to is about half way through, as they sing, "there is no god like jehovah":.

jw's are not the only group to use the word jehovah, others simply do not insist you use it in order to gain salvation. They also use Lord and Savior. Trust me, these fine Marines are NOT jw's. The word 'jehovah' does not hold the same meaning for jw's and Christians who will at times use the word. God is nearly 2 different beings for the two groups. (not going to do a trinity discussion with you but yeah, that's the general direction) Semper Fi -

looking for a thread about 1006= elders knew=.......
by carla ini have been searching the better part of this morning to find the thread in which somebody commented on 1006 known pedophiles which equals 3 elders at each jc and the totals on how many elders did not report to police (3000?
) and also how many known victims in australia.
i think they also broke it down to how many victims that would average each week/month for the last 60 + years.

carla
Thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for.
Now I need to find a way to put this on a new sticker for the litter-ature they leave around in public spaces.
These numbers make me sick, imagine all the cases not reported?!

Thanks much for any help.
