thoughts about mass death
by obiefernandez ini've been doing a bit of self-questioning lately about moral issues.
one of the issues i've pondered is my reaction to the september 11th attacks.
i was feeling quite bloodthirsty.

The Enormous Price of Lack of Faith
by Zechariah intrusting god is far more than merely believing he exists.. i just this evening watched a senate session on cspan on the subject of delaying deciding on preemptive strikes against iraq.
it was very interesting to see how lack of trust in god causes irrational fear that people will be willing to sacrafice all their wealth, their comforts, and even the lives of their children.
without the belief that god exists and that spiritual forces exist there is hopelessness.

my dumb boring JW experience
by DanTheMan ini gave a very brief version of my wt experience when i was a newbie here, but i thought i'd share the details a little more now that i've gained some distance and feel that i can post more objectively about it.
i was born in november of 1970. i grew up in a dysfunctional family (like everybody).
my mother was particularly controlling, she was extremely insecure and therefore expected perfection from her children, lest they reflect badly on her and cause her to doubt herself.

Prostituting herself for the "truth"
by LovesDubs inmy mother in law went back into the maw after disassociating herself in 99. her elder husband had left her, and her kids and her grandkids wouldnt speak to her and it got to be too much.
i heard yesterday that she went back and he is moving back in.
and this just after she was here in june saying how she didnt believe in any of it, but tried to "force herself" and "convince herself" it was the "trooth" last spring so that her husband would come back, then came to her senses.

we're here to give thanks
by Shakita inwe have been lurking here for many months.
the many horrific and sad experiences many have endured in the name of the watchtower religion saddens us and sickens us.
we are ashamed to have ever been taken in by the lies and deceptions told to us by the wtbs.

What part of the bible is most disturbing to you?
by crownboy infor me, it's actually the book of job, which happens to be one of my favourite books.
the way job steadfastly maintains his innocence, and questions god, as well as rebuffs the three comforters (who proffer arguments along the lines of mordern apologist, although in this book they are "bad guys" ) made him my hero of sorts throughout most of the book.
if most people today questioned god the way he did, they would probably be condemned for it.
