Did God use a global flood to hide evidence of a pre-flood civilization?
by truthseeker ini have often wondered why god would use a global flood to destroy what would appear to be a relatively small population on earth.
now, regardless of whether you believe a flood ever happened or not, or what caused it, let's just assume that god did cause the flood.
how widespread was civilization at the time?

Say You're a Bethelite & Monitoring JWD - How Would You Feel About THESE??
by Seeker4 ini'm talking about the new posters, like kitten whiskers, who started posting today (hope this works: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/120817/1.ashx).
and it seems like we're getting a few like this nearly every day.
people who were raised jws, really worry that they are doing the right thing in leaving, yet who have been made to feel not good enough by the wts, who felt they never measured up, who struggled with it, but came to realize that what they'd been brought up to believe was just not the truth.. the same stories are told over and over again, and they come from sincere, good people - not whiny, fault-finding apostates like the rest of us riffraff around here!

The Best way to talk with my JW sister???
by Grog ini have a younger sister who is 15 and very willing to debate the witness doctrine with me.
she is planning on getting baptized in about 6 months and i'm against it and even my witness mom who has been a witness for 15 years thinks she should wait.
but of course my sister is getting it from all angles with a study and an older sister who is a fresh baptism and very fervent for the "truth".

Ever fail as an Apostate?
by Dune inlast saturday i was talking to a witness relative and the subject about book studies came up.
all of the sudden, she started talking about how she was kind of bothered by the fact that we werent studying from the bible as opposed to a book during the book study.
she went onto say that people in other religions new more about the bible than witnesses, but witnesses just had head knowledge of what the society was writing in the books.

What is the difference between a beneficial religion and a damaging one?

most people would agree that a religion that resorts to terrorism is damaging.
most here would also agree that the wts is a damaging religion.

Has being a Jehova's witness totally shattered your faith?
by Silvia Plath injust because the watchtower society is wrong doesn't mean that there is no god, nor does it mean there is a god.
it would interesting to now how former members have adjusted thier cosmology, or whether they are now atheists and why.
i personally see religion as a more personal matter, rather than belonging to an organization.
