Picked, and then "Supposedly" guided to get everything wrong and misunderstood. I think about this, and think of Jesus with the 12. Did he tell them wrong information and figured they would figure out the truth decades later? Did he tell them to preach false information, while he knew the truth inside and concealed it from them? I ask, as I find it interesting to say he was a leader in those early days and yet had leadership that was horrible with information, when all writtings of his time show him to be a "Great and accurate" teacher. How this is not seen in their illustration is amazing and an example of mind control that is distrubing.

I was a Jehovah's Witness in a different religion
by free2beme ini recently had a very long conversation with my mother, about what jehovah's witnesses teach and believe now.
while i could gleam ideas and thoughts, that kind of worked with the religion i once called home.
more often then not, i had to come to a extreme conclusion.

Global Cooling
by Jomavrick inso if i send money to al gore to pay for carbon credits, will it warm up the 30 degree temperature outside today?
pearly on years ago when i realized a few people and organizations were using junk science as away to build a cottage industry of money making and taxing, i knew it was a hoax.
then when the data came back to show the earth has been cooling instead of warming, the con artists changed the label from global warming to climate change.. believe what you want to, i don't care, but blind allegiance to the gw idea is so similar to jw belief in my mind, blind!.

Honestly, like most things in life. If you strip away the politics, the money lovers ripping you off and the control of information. You kind of find there is some truth to listen too. However, when you get to that level and see the truth. It is like finding a lizard running threw the yard, when you were warned it was Godzilla attacking Japan.

While I could gleam ideas and thoughts, that kind of worked with the religion I once called home. More often then not, I had to come to a extreme conclusion. In the fifteen plus years since my exit, the religion I used to hold to has changed to such an extent... I no longer see it's current state to be the same religion. What seems to be more important to them now, is controling the masses and not caring anything about the supposed "End of days." Like they now seem to laugh at their chicken little messages of the past and now simply are taught to play the live until you die game and hope for the ressurection. In all honesty, this reminds me of main stream religion now with the die and go to heaven thinking. Just seems like they are trying to become more main stream, as their insane thoughts of the past have become harder to express in the internet world of today. I was a Jehovah's Witness, in a "Completely" different religion... not the one of today.

My Final Goodbye
by Lady Lee ini want to start by saying i will not participate in discussion here about my resignation as a moderator at jwn.. simon please consider this as my resignation from that position.. i have been posting on this board for almost 12 years.
i know some of you a lot, others a little and some not very well at all.
i have remained here for those of you who have needed support as you make the transition out of the wts, who needed someone to listen to your experiences of abuse at the hands of jehovah's witnesses, and to both laugh and cry with you as you progress out of the watchtower society.. we know that we have all experienced the cruelty of abuse of one kind or another.

I think I remember a good bye thread from you once before. Years ago ... my advice, just do not take the site serious enough to have the need or feel the need to say good bye. Just a thought.

I checked her name across the internet and did not see any work in porn. If she is a porn star, she is not a well known porn star. And I know my porn!

POF is good, but most people are looking for online hook ups and dating is kind of a side affect.
