Was Judas set up?
by highdose inthe bible profecied that judas (although not named) would betray jesus.
the bible also says i think that it was the devil or gods bad spirt that enter judas and caused him to do what he did?
if judas hadn't then there would have been no betrayal and no sacrifice therefore.

Did you ever "feel" the holy spirt "apon you"?
by highdose insome jw's claimed that when they were out door to door that they could feel the angels guiding them and jehovahs spirt apon them.. others claimed this when having prayed felt a sense of calm afterwards.
self induced?

What was life like for you as a JW teenager?
by highdose inin the wt's illistrations they portray jw teenagers as happy, together group.
my experinace is that the jw teenagers in the cong were some of the bitchyist backstabbing arse holes i'll ever meet.. it was unheard of for us to engage in group "wholesome activity" as show in the wt's illistrations.
the competition amongst the girls for the handsome, sane and elders sons were cut throat.

why do jw's think that by behaving weridly they are giving a "good witness"?
by highdose inyou know when they refuse to attend family functions that invole anything religous, won't chink glasses, won't allow their children any freedom etc.
.
from their perspective they think they are setting "a fine example" and givng a "good witness" the outsiders just think they are bat crazy but the jw's just can't see it???

yoga...who benefits from it here...and how bout you guys?
by oompa ini really love it....seems like i am way in the minority as far as guys go though ...plus the guy girl ratio is sure not a negative for me!...but no that is not why i am there...i mean it kicks your butt physically...but i am hoping for this more inner peace thingy too......oompa.
interesting thing...i read on an inflight mag this week that yoga came from india ages ago and was only created by men for men!....women were verboden..... and what is the best way to find really good instructors?...my local ymca has classes as does a gym or two near me...and i have no idea how much certification these instructors must have.

Non JW celebrities that the JW's adopted as their own
by highdose indon't know if anyone else has ever seen this happen?
examples are princess diana, obama, pavorotti and then of course peter andre, cliff richard, the national geograpic magazine and the who.. all have been adopted as mascots by the jw's i've been around.
i was told about princess di etc that they had been wittnessed to ( someone they knew often sent them the magazines) which of course meant that they were secrect jw's(!).

What are the worst pictures in My Book of Bible Stories?
by cedars ina few comments from muddy waters and mummatron on another thread peaked my curiosity and led me to revisit some of the illustrations in the my book of bible stories.
i don't appear to have my old copy from when i was a child (thankfully), so i checked out the images over on watchtower.org where the entire book can be read online.
the images below are taken from what is displayed on that website, although it wouldn't surprise me if there are equally awful images that haven't been used.. so which of the images below are the most grotesque and inappropriate for children?

ok jw teaching aside, can you see a time coming when religon will cease to exist?
by highdose inpossibly this could happen in a dramatic sudden way or a slow burn but can you see the human race progressing to the point were they no longer need to belive in these myths and legends?.
