To: Englishman - Anointing
by Amazing inhi englishman: you asked, "amazing,a question for you before i hit the hay.
reading your posts here and on h20, it's obvious to me that you have some exceptional qualities of insight.
could it be that it is this insight that prompted you and others to believe that you were of the "anointed"?

ARE AVERAGE JWs DECEPTIVE?
by Amazing ini ask this because on this and other forums that have a large share of former jws, our stated experiences and encounters during and after our jw membership seem to reflect that the wts and its body of believers are most corrupt.
likewise, those never associated who read our posts may get the impression that even visiting a kingdom hall may result in serious negative events.. i believe that it is important to remind everyone that the average jw is a generally good person.
most try to live good lives, act on their beliefs, and promote what they feel is the truth.

To LDH Role of Anointed
by Amazing inhi ldh: i brought this to the top because i felt it warranted some extra attention given that this is a core feature of the watch tower religion.. during my 27 years with the organization, i was openly of the anointed for about 20 years.
i served as an elder and ms, often being involved in aux.
pioneering, circuit parts and district convention support.

PEDOPHILE UPDATE - SUICIDE
by Amazing inas i mentioned in my opening post yesterday, my family is requesting a low key, so i am being a bit skimpy on some details.
but, i decided that some details can come out because they will help you see the impact and seriousness of what this crime causes.. .
my son-in-law (sil) told me very recently that when his paternal grandfather learned of the news of his son's arrest (sil's dad that is), he became very distraught, and killed himself.

JW Pedophile Hits Close to Home
by Amazing inthis is brief because family members have asked that i remain low-key for the present when on public forums regarding this specific case.
i have provided greater details in a private forum.. many of you may recall my justice series on h20 where i dealt with the issue of pedophiles among jws, often drawn from my experience as an elder.
while serving as an elder i did object to the failure of elders to report pedophiles to the authorities.

Cults or mere Abusive groups?
by Amazing indefining what a cult is, is difficult.
similarly, in science, there is no established definition for what a weed is; at least i have found none.
there is no clear-cut way to separate and define a weed from other non-weed plant life by logical methods.

What if we put God on trial?
by Amazing inwhat if we put god on trial?
of course god cannot be put on trial by humans, and i doubt that he would submit to any subpoena from a human court.
but, what if we were able to do such a thing?

Chimps & Evolution
by Amazing inhi everyone: below i discussed carbon-14 dating and its accuracy in showing how homo sapiens is much older than what groups like the watch tower society believe and teach.. here are some fascinating facts about one of our 'cousins' on the evolutionary scale.
this is fairly short and fun to read.
i have added some comments in brackets [ ... ]:.
