I think its a typical case of the splinter in someone else's eye and the timber in yours. I see that sort of behavior all the time, someone complaining about how someone else acts when they themselves are even worse offenders.

Welcome to the forum! I'm glad you are here, I hope that you can help give some of us some insight as to how people can remain in the borg knowing all is not "right", I know it would help me better understand my family which is still all in when they "know" many of the things I know that made me leave.

Do YOU Consider Yourself An Apostate?

by Golf in

i find this labeling insulting and misdirected.

i have been lied, deceived/tricked by a group of men posing as god's direct channel of communication.

when a group of men heightens the expectations of a world change to happen in 1975 (armageddon) to its' adherents and nothing occurs and then blame their adherents for thinking such thoughts, this is outright deception.

Apostate always reminded me of prostrate and has about the same ambience in my book. Labels? Labels? We don't need no stinking labels.

Is Change Possible for Homosexuals?

by nicolaou in

i don't know, you'd think we'd be used to reading crap like this but it still gets my goat.. nic' .

*** w74 8/15 p. 487 is change possible for homosexuals?

thinking transformed.

Big Dog

Here's something that has always made me wonder. From what I can gather, homosexuality has been around since we swung down from the trees and started walking upright, why in the world is it still an issue? I would think it would have been assimillated into our collective cultures long ago.

Any thoughts on this?

A fellow poster (who needs to remain anonymous) has printed out a letter that contains these types quotes from the magazines (ie. evils of higher education), and a brief plea for them to really think about their life and the history of the WBTS, signed it 'from someone who cares' invited them to this forum, and mailed it out (from a neighboring town) to all the JW youth that they know. This poster would like to challenge all of you to do the same.
