there's a few things that i see. there's always one brother that believes in me and is there anytime i need some help. this is the same brother that has huge get togethers which are usually always pretty fun. he always has HUGE hayrides on his 300 acre farm(where he hitches a massive bulldozer trailer onto a huge front loader). he cooks for everybody and had everything else to ride. he's really a good guy. i also like the old ladies at the congregation because they're really good gals'. they've known me ever since i was in diapers and are very friendly. there's just an occasional elder that you KNOW is fake, and all he wants is the power. they are the ones that ruin it for everyone. i wouldn't mind the whole thing if they started all over and just taught the bible...oh ya, thats what they already think they're doing.....

Things that really bothered you.....
by bakedmonkeepie ini was thinking about the "glorious" past of my association with the witnesses..... and i started thinking.
were there ever things that really really bothered you that they were doing, and it made you stop and think about what you were really getting involved in?
mine would be at an assembly.

agree w/ the above. the love of god is measured upon how much you can do for them and not the community. what really chaps me is they go around, bitchign and complaining, OHHH THIS WORLD IS SO WICKED, and OHHH THIS STUPID WORLD AND SYSTEM OF THINGS IS SO BAD. what do they do about it? JACK SHIT. they'll sit there and bitch and complain, but they will not go out into their own communities and donate their time to help make this world a better place until their "new system" comes. thats what's really bullshit. they bitch and complain, yet they won't do anything about it. its not like they don't have money and its not like they don't have time, so gimme a different excuse.

Remember Dateline??
by Joyzabel ini'm trying to get some comments that active jehovah's witnesses may have heard after dateline aired back on may 28, 2002.
do you remember any comments made about the dateline program either made from the platform at the kingdom hall, or in private conversations with other jw's?
how were the people who where on dateline viewed in your area, especially at the kingdom hall or by other jws?

you need to go update your kernel and also anything else for security reasons. also you can update mozilla to where it won't be as buggy (www.mozilla.com i think). if you've never operated linux before, good luck =D its really different, just hope you can get the hang of things.

If Jesus died so Christians can be saved......
by DevonMcBride inthan why aren't there "thank you's" going out to those responsible for his death?
obviously god pre-planned the crucifixion and resurrection.
so those that killed him were following god's plan.. devon

oh, btw, in the OT you were stoned if you cheated on your wife. you were pretty much stoned for disobeying any Mosaic rule. so are you glad you aren't going to be stoned when you get to that point in your life when you wanna go "have some fun" with a girl? its something that really can't be understood.
heh, you wanna know something i was thinking about when i was really drunk one nite? well i was sitting there thinking, well, god doesn't accept anything thats not perfect, wether it be sacrifice or talking to us or whatever. so, when we ARE perfect (according to JW's), will we be able to blaze with God or anything? i mean, would we be able to have an intelligent conversation with God? who knows.

Are you more intelligent since you left?
by Nosferatu inever since leaving the jws, i believe i've become much more intelligent.
i now have to learn from my past mistakes rather than viewing my mistakes as a result of satan's influence.
i now know how to prevent myself from making the same mistakes rather than repeating them due to ignoring the facts.

Did you ever wonder why.......
by Strawberryfieldsforever indid you ever wonder why you got out of the religion?
was it because you were smarter or could think on your own better or that god directed you?
i often wonder why i was so lucky to have gotten out and so many are left in.
