  A Call to my Priest

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  1969: i was still studying with the jws, attending meetings, and preparing for baptism.

  one of the requirements was that i notify my previous religion, the roman catholic church where i was baptized as a baby in 1951, and demand they remove me from membership.. catholic policy: i wrote to my priest in southern california to follow-up on the jw requirement to write to the catholic church and demand removal.

  but, unlike most churches, the catholic church never removes anyone from the membership.

  Show me the money...Economics 101 for ex-dubs

  by Mindchild in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in light of reading about the discouraging circumstances that many ex-jw's find themselves in because of not having taken advantage of educational opportunities or other employment related training in the past, i was wondering if there was an interest in discussing practical ways for people to increase their bottom line and get out of the poverty or near poverty zone.. i would think that there might not only be some useful tips and hints from some of the more successful ex-dubs but we could exchange in some downright capitalistic networking and make useful connections that might either land you a good job or better your lot in life by say getting things at a discount.. personally, after leaving the borg, i have had a fairly successful business career which included a variety of accomplishments that ranged from opening up america's first discount college textbook store to being an international privacy consultant and most recently a research scientist.. i've helped people establish credit when they had zero or worse than zero credit ratings, taught classes on entrepreneurship at college, and i've seen and networked with a wide variety of people that made amazing amounts of money by finding something they were good at and that was off the beaten path (you seldom get rich doing something everyone else is doing.).

  anyway, just wanted to see if there was an interest in discussing anything like this.. kind regards,.

  On STUMBLING BLOCKS

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just a few loose ends and random thoughts for a select group of readers who have not been completely defrauded of your faith.. on the topic of stumbling: stumbling typically involves the mistakes of others whether real or perceived.

  the reason jehovah does not consider any stumbling block as a valid reason for abandoning ones faith is because a persons faith should be in jehovah and christ in the first place.

  and since god most assuredly did not let his worshipper down, what a fellow believer does or does not do should have no bearing upon our personal relationship with our heavenly father.

  HIV tainted blood after 9/11/01?

  by DIM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last night at meeting, the circuit overseer said in his talk "and there has even been talk of hiv / aids tainted blood that has slipped through the screening process in the aftermath of the world trade center bombing, contaminating the survivors of the tragedy.

  can you imagine, surviving the world trade center bombing, then finding out you have contracted hiv?

  " he made no references to any newspapers or where he got this information from.

  What would a meeting be like if.....

  by roybatty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everyone on jw.com were jws and attended the same congregation.

  now, i'm not saying that we'd follow brooklyn's rules (how boring).

  instead what would it be like jw.com style.

  2. friends

  well, i came in this morning, prepared to write a glib little post regarding my astrological findings.

  but i find my heart too heavy to do so today.

  Reasons for Leaving JWs/Fatal Flaw

  by patio34 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ran across this in "river out of eden" by richard dawkins (pgs 131-132) yesterday and it accurately sums up why i left jws 9 months ago and, essentially, belief in a creator:.

  re dna survivial: 'when the utility function-that which is being maximized--is dna survival, this is not a recipe for happiness.

  so long as dna is passed on, it does not matter who or what gets hurt in the process.

  100 Good Samaritans needed

  by Trilobite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  two of this board's, and h2o's before it,long time and well known participants have fallen on desperately hard times.

  if they could set up pay pal accounts and enough of us could contribute say $20 - $50 per month it would help them though their hardship.. these two people have helped many escape from the wts and i know for sure have given money and other material help to those in need, even when they could not afford it.. if you can help, send an email to: [email protected].

  you need not include any particulars of who you are etc, just an indication that you could support this and how much you could send.
