well, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.
someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.
i just feel sad for my daughter.
You sound not that bothered actually, so maybe not applicable in your case. But in general:
Just deny it. How can they prove it? If they say the details match you ask them to explain. If they go into detail tell them you are very shocked that someone seems to be impersonating you online. "What can you do to help in this situation?" What can they say?
i know that some people on the board have experience of being mormons, so i would be interested in your feedback.
at church this afternoon it was an uncanny experience.
in the past i've read a lot about mormons, so i thought i was prepared in general for what it would be like.
I meant his first dumb dumb comment, but that's a good one too.
Funny enough the president mentioned a diet of worms.
Rebel I like to think I'm post Marxist so I agree with your materialist analysis.
I also doubt the existence of money, especially when I check my balance.
And I am resolutely worm enough.
Greetings comrade.
this week my son expressed he is agnostic as he is not sure what to believe about evolution and the common ancestor.. i thought any jw hang ups were gone.
i told him that what they teach in school is trustworthy and he can be rest assured that there is evidence to support that the common ancestor was the real link to the evolution of humans.. he has got critical thinking skills.
and responded with "for hundreds of years schools have been teaching things and have changed their thoughts".
Yes of course it is. It is as certain as the fact that the earth is not flat.
Exactly.
There are only interpretations.
most of us are desperately waiting for the availability of a legal crisis of conscience.
deborah dykstra provided us with two updates.
on december 12, 2015 there was a clear statement about the copyright which stopped all illegal activity in spreading electronic versions & prints.. finally, she promised a new update by or before may 6.. so far no new update.
I wish they'd say how much they'd be willing to sell the copyright for and people could consider making them an offer.
They'd get some money, the book would be back in circulation. Everyone happy.

Witness My Fury you're such a pessimist. I'd like to think I know a lot less now than 12 years ago. One day I may know nothing at all!
Thanks to 2+2=5 for the best answer. Dumb dumb dumb, da dumb. It is catchy.
I really was hoping for more Mormon feedback though. Is my initiation typical? I thought there were more Mormons on here.
i was raised in the cult, a 'golden boy' in jw about 15 years ago.
regular pioneer, went to pioneer school and then mts.
my dad is a gilead graduate and is still a serving elder.
I like the poem.
And the message.
I don't know how you'd define a successful leaver, but they do say if you have got one big enough you can move the world from its axis.
jws very much believe that there is an absolute truth and of course, they are the only ones who have it lol.
how about now though do you still believe that absolute truths exist?
or is everything subjective?
The anti-wormism on this forum is utterly appalling.

I think there's uncertainty about everything, it's just some things we're not clear yet where the uncertainty lies.

Is there absolute truth to a worm?
lately i've been feeling just so fed up with this stupid religion i really can't take it anymore!
i'm starting to think that maybe i should just tell my parents how i really feel.
if they treat me too badly or kick me out i could probably stay with my non jw aunt.. ive just reached my breaking point, i don't really care what people think of me anymore.
Every situation is different. But in general, if in doubt, I wouldn't risk being completely honest with your parents about wanting to leave. If the options are 1) make excuses for not going and drift away gradually and keep relationship, and 2) tell them what you think and stop going abruptly and they cut you off. I'd say it's probably worth doing 1) if those are the options, depending on how much you value the relationship. You need to weigh up what their reactions are likely to be and how many meetings you can endure and how important it is for you that you say what you are really thinking.
