"are you hiding what you truely are?
are you embarrased for what you have become?
sure sounds like it to me.
yes froggie, I understand. I agree with you that there is no use in arguing with somebody that does not think and does not respond or only quotes the bible and runs away. (if he is JW or not)
But if a JW is willing to reply, and think about the things said to him, I think he is welcome.

Sorry I am new here so don't exactly know what a 'troll' is.
And anyway, would it not be nice if there were all also some 'real' JW's here, to defend some of the things said? That would only make it more interesting in my opinion. (as the sign says, ...everybody welcome)

at the time of this story, the bible tells us that adam and eve had two children, cain and abel.
now, dont forget that there are only four people on the planet.
so, apparently, cains only punishment was the requirement to move to another region.
Thanks Narc & Runningman
This is really a gem of logical reasoning in the questions of readers artikel. Can make use of this...
Even when I was a serious dub, so many of us hated the reasoning like: It can be that A, and possible that B so this results in C. C is therefore a fact.

Jehovah’s Witnesses, and some others, believe that humans did not eat meat until after the flood. So, for approximately 1,600 years from creation to the flood, humans were vegetarians. They did not begin eating meat until this privilege was granted to humans in Genesis 9:3. In fact, Jehovah’s Witnesses go one step further. They believe that even animals were vegetarians until after the flood. They believe that grass is the natural, god-intended food for lions. Fossils of carnivorous dinosaurs are rather troublesome to them, so they ignore them
Really? Can you show me where I can find this in a JW pub, that all animals did not eat meat until the flood?
By the Way, Real good stuff, I like your writing style.
Going to print out these can keep them..
Thanx, Danny

What I am going to do is use there own nosyness. They love gossib. So, I will make sure that I will drop personal letters around abd in the convention hall. THey will surely read this. It will contain some fake problems I have (with whatever) and then references to the UN scandals etc. Written like a more or less severe JW, who seeks out why these things are not told to hm.
Ok, maybe a bit of a lie etc, but am used to this now. And witlesses always leave there magazines everywhere in the hope they will be read...

when i was growing up in dubland, i always felt like i never "fit" in with the other kids in the cong or their families.
i always knew deep down that i didn't like being a jw and their had to be more to life than meetings and field service.
i just wanted to be normal, like the other kids and have sleepovers, birthday parties, after school activities and christmas etc..... my folks were and still are devout dubs and my dad in particular is the nicest man you will ever meet, he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, no questions asked.
This is exactly how I felt. Even when having a position in the cong. I just felt that I was different. I just wasn't as happy as all the others (or did not seem so).
Escpecially on conventions, I really felt bad, even for some days afterward. Just did not belong there. The happyness felt maybe just to atrificial. No sure.
Still feel the same now, but now surpriced that I do.

that's on their website....do you believe this?

ever worked in a job that literally bored you too tears.. my job prior to this used to do just that.
somehow i got relegated to the 'reports team'.
note that the team consisted of one person - myself.
pioneering, and then I did not even get paid for it
i've just recently declared my agnosticism to myself and to one other person in my life.
i don't necessarily consider myself an atheist because i believe there very well may be some higher power or non carbon based entities in existence with 'godlike' abilities.
my question is, do you still find yourself secretly believing in god?
I think that the world was created last friday just before teatime.
