Moving on...
by Zico in
1. jw
2. friends
i've been reading this board regularly since it was introduced to me in march of this year.

at first, i was finding it pretty difficult coming to terms with the fact that my whole life had been a lie, but really, i suppose there's not much point in worrying about this now, what's done is done, and i'm still easily young enough to make a life in 'the world' despite a slow start.

the problem is that i have no idea how to go about.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses communists?
by ozziepost in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
that was the title of a tract i recall distributing in the 1950s.

it responded to the demonising of so many people in the mccarthy period.

the answer seemed obvious at the time - no, dubs are anything but communists.

well my mother-in-law is spending the night and blabbing about their kh build.

since i'm drinking whiskey (canadian if you must know), i feel like going on a rant.

i'm sick of kh builds.

What outward signs of apostacy are evident in your house?
by AK - Jeff in
1. jw
2. experiences
if the elders came and inspected your home - what would they find?.

a casual look around reveals a box of "narnia" tissues on my desk, 12 or 14 non-witness translations of bibles on my shelves, many non approved novels [wifey's] on the reading table, plenty of 'apostate literature', a book or two on meditation, a hypnosis cd for weight loss, prob many toys that are not witness approved in the g-kids room, a half eaten birthday cake, a birthday balloon, xmas wrapping paper in the closet , a couple of r rated movies, music that is not acceptable.. that is just at first blush.

how is your house?

Which flavor of "Christendom" did you think was most demonized? (when a JW)
by Wasanelder Once in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i used to feel it was the catholic religion because of all its rituals.

then i felt it was the latter day saints with all thier "personal testimony" and "prophet" doctrines.

finally, after reading about the watchtower's history i've settled on the view that they are all equal.. how did you feel about it when you were a witnoid?.

this is absolutely a revelation to me:.

... we don't go out and say, "we're the only true religion.".

i recently found a listing of prominent apostates from the adventures of the wtb&ts during the 20th century.

here's the list: moyle, fogh, goodrich, hemery, and schnell.

i know a little about each of these men, with the exception of fogh, whom i'll admit i have never heard of before.

Extra training ... so you know that shooting babies is WRONG ?!?
by Simon in
1. social
2. current
how dumb and pathetic.. no extra training should be necessary for even slightly trained and disciplined soldiers.

i guess it is for some of the rabble that the us call "troops" though.. of course the real problem is not just those on the ground that have committed the latest attrocity.

it is the chain of command that tried to cover it up and all the way up to the president who sanctions bombing of civilian targets with nothing more than rumour for "intelligence".. from now on america, you are on your own.
