Is it the JW's or the God of the bible you no longer believe?
by reniaa ini have a question for the ex-jw's on this forum after months of reading the forum..... many say how good it is to be free of the oppressiveness of the jw's that they can now enjoy the freedom to... have sex, celebrate christmas, gamble, embrace politics etc.
there are still biblical scriptures and principles in place that if you still followed the bible would mean you avoid these things and yet these are now embraced as one of the perks of no longer being a jw so in my confusion i ask.... if these are what you want, isn't it more correct to say you no longer follow the bible as apposed to just the jw's?.

Do economic worries make JWs joyful?
by undercover inwith the us economy tanking and on the verge of a major collapse if the right steps aren't taken, the average person is probably a little concerned.
i haven't seen anything like a panic yet, but it has been a source of discussion with collegues and neighbors.
to be honest, i'm a bit worried.

How do mainstream Christians interpret the live-forever-on-Earth scriptures
by neverendingjourney inyou know the proof texts we used to "prove" that the "righteous would inherit the earth and reside for forever upon it?
" how do mainstream christians interpret those scriptures?
i gather that the scriptures in isaiah speak metaphorically to the return of the jews to the promised land, but what about psalms 37?

Mr. Flipper's Son's Witness Mom Tells Him- " Your Thinking is From Satan "
by flipper insome of you remember about 9 months ago when my son's fanatic witness mother ( my ex ) tried e-mailing him at college to preach to him of the evils of higher learning.
he stood up for himself admirably.
she left him alone - but she's back at it again like a bad dream that just won't quit !
