  If you claim a divine miracle in your life, you will be disfellowshipped!!!

  one of the key things i have noticed since leaving the witnesses and interacting with other faiths, is that they often mention the word "miracle!

  " in that they will claim that their god had performed some sort of miracle in their life that brought about something amazing.

  it is not always christians who say this either, as many of my "pagan" friends and myself have had spirit driven moments that were something that could not be displaced as "chance.

  It just goes to show you that JW's do not have a monopoly on God, as they believe they do..

  Say hello to the new guy

  i found this web site while researching jws (my immediate family on my dad's side is jw, except for my dad, who was subjected to the programming from birth, and who seems to be caught in some strange world between the jw world and the real one).. for the most part, these are decent, kind, loving people.

  the only problem is that they are jws!.

  i myself am atheist, so in theory i should them to be atheist also, but i'd gladly settle for steering them into a different form of christianity.. anything but jw.

  As a kid I used to lie in bed thinking the end was just around the corner and had trouble sleeping, mostly because I was a bad boy and thought I was going to die soon. This summer I will be 68 years old and no end yet. I no longer lie awake and worry about it. The borg does not have a clue.

  It might have some thing to do with the name St. John's, they associate it with religion

  i hadn't seen ladylee posting the last few days - it's not like her to leave without letting us know that she's going away, and i was getting worried, so i called her this morning.. she called me back... she's fine, but her computer is not.

  it had a major crash a few days ago, and she's been trying to get it up and running ever since.. let's make sure she knows that she's missed!
