er i thought there was an introduction page but i guess this will do nicely.
my name is josie and i am a longtime lurker.
i just recently got up the nerve to post something and i thought i should make a more formal hello.. i was raised with the borg but i never got baptised and i'm glad to say neither has any of my siblings.
welcome! Looking foward to your posts!
does god exist?
god is evidenced by his creation, his word, and the relationship that believers have with him.
sadly, i notice that a lot of former jws either do not believe in god or believe in some false god of the nations.
Don't return to the vomit of Satan's world.

I am swimming in the "vomit of Satan" and loving every minute of it!!!!!!!
Just because I don't believe in God (never have), does this mean that I am a bad person? Does this mean that I do not have any values because I wasn't taught values by a religion (never had one)? Does this mean that I do not have any morals as to what is right or wrong? Does this mean that I am evil?
From what I have read on this board, saw in the media, and heard from other people, there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of acts of religious violence that have occurred just in my short lifetime. Many of these acts not recorded. Think about all the acts of religious violence committed since the recording of history began.
Think about this....
23,720 and counting..

I'd rather be in "the vomit of Satan's world" where these people will be reported to the proper authorities!!!!!!!
personally, i do not believe god ever has or ever will exist.
i have my reasons -- i guess i could be considered an agnostic, rather than an athiest.
i was curious to see what the larger part of the former borg community believed, now looking from the outside in, rather than the opposite.
I am God!!! Or at least that is what my wife screams during........ did I say that out loud???
Don't let her read this!!!
i'm working on printing a new bumpersticker, but i need a rough estimate of how many i should run:.
if the watchtower society doesn't lie,.

I like the silentlambs idea and I will buy some if they get made. Let me know where I can get one!

...i know i know..it's been such a long time since it came out but i havn't gotten the time to do that stuff especially 2 hours out of a day on a busy work schedule.

(not, ray franz owes us an apology) .
(ok lets add this on)do those who are or were governing body members have a greater amount of responsability than witnesses in general?at what point do we stop being victims and become instigaters?
this may have been discussed before but i'm not sure.so sorry if it has.

Here is the link to Joe Andersons letter.

I must say that me being a "never been", I don't fully understand this. I thought that Joe Andersons letter was very well written and I saw nothing wrong for what he said in the letter. I think you did the right thing Joe!!!
For all those affected: I am sorry to see that your church has severed your dealings with them. I hope that all of you can find some resolution from this somehow. I think that your actions on speaking out about this problem are very noble!!!
one thing over the years that i have noticed about jehovah's witnesses is that they love to drink, especially bethelites....have you too noticed this?
and why do you think this might be the case?
Seems to me that to put up with a religion like JW you would have to drink to put up with non-sense! No offense, that's simply my point of view.
