The happiest depressed people on earth
by Norm inas we know after many years in the watchtower society, brooklyn loves to tell us how incredibly happy jehovah's witnesses are:.
*** w99 10/1 8 "for everything there is an appointed time" ***.
13 of course, the fact that jehovahs servants weep over the sorry state of world affairs does not preclude their being happy.

Question for gay people
by expatbrit inthe question is about the term "tolerance" or "tolerating".. when someone says something along the lines of "i'm very tolerant of gay people" or "gay people should be tolerated", how do you feel?.
the reason i ask is this: doesn't the concept of tolerating something imply a background negative?
for instance, i can say "i tolerate my brother-in-law".

The "Ransom Sacrifice" short version.
by Norm inin the christian part of the world not many of us have escaped the much hyped and published sacrifice christ supposedly made when the romans executed him.. i myself was going around for years parroting this strange concept without giving it much thought.
thinking and faith some times do not mix very well.. anyway, apparently god made a royal blunder when he created the first humans and they plunged mankind into death and despair first crack out of the box, while god stood by and watched helplessly.
then we are told that god for this reason, in his infinite wisdom took mankind for ransom for thousands of years.

Hi-I'm new here
by had_enough inim new to this (or any) board and id like to introduce myself.
ive been visiting this and h2o for about a month now, and it has been so therapeutic for me.
ive been inactive for about 2 years except for memorial and assemblies and those have only been for my siblings sake to help care for an aging parent.. i decided to join in and introduce myself because yesterday i read ozzies great post on restrictions on march 23 pm and got so worked up by past memories of my experience with dfing and going through the humiliation of qualifying for reinstatement.

hi...
by HalfWayThere ini was looking at jw sites on the net and i found this site, its pretty cool i must admit and you all seem to be so positive about life after "the truth".
but its also comforting to hear how scared some of you were when you first left.. at the moment i'm contemplating leaving the organization.
i haven't been attending the meetings much lately, nor done any witnessing, and to be honest i don't miss it.
