Why do active witnesses frequent the site?
by jimakazi ini'm somewhat currious why active witnesses appear to frequent the site, and if the information on this site causes any to "fade away" or "dis-associate"?.
personally if i have known 18 years ago what i know now i would have been a lot more active in trying to convince all i cared about to leave, instead of fading away [gone with a bang so to speak].
it's funny how when you are in it you can't see it for what it is.

Meat eating preditors will eat grass like a lamb!
by jimakazi ini am always a little pi***d when i see jw illustrations showing lions and tigers in the close vacinity of samll children, lambs and other meaty treats with no safety barriers.
[why this is paradise is beyound me - these anaimals smell].. so if we assume an intelligent creator, why would he create large meat eating preditors if he really ment them to eat grass?
every thing about their make up is about specialistation, from teeth, to jaws, to how their stomachs work.

Rugby: Lions or All Blacks?
by jimakazi inare there any brits [english, irish, welsh, or scotts = the lions ] on the site partial to the game of rugby?
for those with no idea what rugby is - it's a little like american football, without the stops, without the protective gear, played in winter, in the rain, hail and sleet [well last saturday anyway].
15 players to a side on the field at a time [unless someone is yellow cards or red carded].

We are NOT appostate
by jimakazi innot to rain on the collective parade but what makes people here think they are appostate?
most of us have come to a rational conclusion that the jw / wtb is directed by a bunch of old men not directed by the holy spirit, is fallable, and cynically changes doctrine.
so to be against that is not to be appostate.

New to site - letting it out
by jimakazi init is interesting to read the comments of so many who are no longer "in the truth".
i have not associated for 18 years but as my parents are still very much "in the truth".
i never disassociated myself as i feel to do so is to acknowledge some form of official status over me.

Resurection with no Soul
by jimakazi init always puzzeled me how a person could be resurected it there were no soul.. if it is just a clone with your memories then it is not you - or is it.
are we no more than our memories?.
assuming as the jw's do that there is no soul or life essesnce that leaves the body and can be restored.

Visiting JW parents... should i be evil?
by jimakazi inmy family and i will be visitng my parents this weekend.
they do not shun us and are in their mid 60's.
while i'd get satisfaction out of sharing some of the information i've discovered here i don't know that this would be the best thing for them - their whole life and friends are the local jw congregation.

Pink Floyd reformed and playing at the London Live 8 concert
by jimakazi inmy all time favorite band pink floyd has reformed - with roger waters too - for the live 8 concert.. as a teenage i used to chill out to the floyd.
the song "comfortably numb" somehow resonates with me.
anyway live 8 starts in an hour or so [1 am nz] and i'll be up all night enjoying it.

The Mosaic Law and JW's
by jimakazi injesus did away with the mosaic law.. .
on this basis jw's eat pork if they wish, do not have to maintain a beard, and do not observe the sabbath.. .
however the jw's seem to apply aspects of the mosaic law when it suits them - for instance they often quote it to support their postion on blood.

An idea [Postive Action].
by jimakazi inhaving only recently discovered this site and finally having at my finger tips [the internet is great] compelling evidence that the jw doctines are nothing but the work of men i feel a need to take action.
people i care about are still wasting their lives.
[1] i would like to see some "ready made" resource's that have factual evidence, well articulated, and formated ready for printing that we could use to help current jw's see what is going on.
