EX JWs - What planted the seed in your mind?
by jstalin ini'm interested in finding out what planted the seed in your mind that got you started on questioning the watchtower.
what issue, event, or idea started you on the path to rejecting the watchtower?
and while we're at it, what event was the straw that broke the camel's back, that pushed you over the edge to finally quitting the organization?

Looking for philosophy experts
by jstalin inhello all, i'm looking for some expert(s) on philosophy, specifically ancient philosophy.
the short story is that i don't want to raise children within a specific religion, but i'd still like to raise them with a philosophical underpinning for the important ways to live life.
i've been looking at some ancient philosophical systems that encompass my core beliefs.

Rallying the gays!
by jstalin init's been a while since i've been on here and just wondering if any of the gays are still around... in addition, if you are gay and new to the board (or even been here a while), go ahead and introduce yourself!.
if you're gay and stuck in the organization, this is a good place to talk about it and meet other people that are or have been where you are.
it's not a choice and there are plenty of people out there who understand what it is like to be in your position!.

The right's obsession with gays
by jstalin init's pretty funny to me the level of obsession with homosexuality that many in the conservative right wing have in the united states.
i occassionally go to a news web site called world net daily, (www.worldnetdaily.com) which is a religious conservative news web site.
nearly every day they have articles on gays and gay issues (of course, always negative coverage).
