  it is interesting to read the posts here.

  people desperately trying to convince themselves that they were right to give up!.

  A few of you have mentioned my apparent naughtyness in actually coming here after the resolution at the DC. This is a fair point. I am now doubting whether to come back. I feel it is good to talk.

  The Scotsman:

  I say BRAVO! to you for having the guts to take the first step to thinking for yourself! I welcome you and commend you for taking this step to join JWD and open up honest dialogue. You obviously have a curiosity about alternatives to the WTS. We all were there once - in fact, many of the members on here are currently serving in congregations all over the world as publishers, pioneers, speakers, elders, MS's, PO's, etc.

  It is good to talk and you have received some very respectful and informed replies. Please stick around and tell us more about yourself.

  I'll start off by saying that I would be interested in your take on the change of the significance of 1914, which was always the bedrock of the WTS "truth" that I grew up with. What do you think happened to change this? A light didn't get brighter - it completely went away. Are you comfortable with that?

  Subliminal Messages

  by Butters in

  2. friends

  hey guys, uh, well, i was kinda hoping maybe you guys could share some of those scans of the old wt articles that have all the subliminal messages i heard so much about.

  i have one download that shows the pentagram in the chair and so on, but is this real?

  did they really try and deceive people?

  But I want to hear what all the rest of you think. Open your free minds to some ideas. Express yourself. Please. Without any inherent pragmatism.

  OK, I'll play.

  I don't put much stock in subliminal art theories. Its like seeing a bunny rabbit in the clouds - doesn't mean anything. And I think you mean "inherent scepticism." However, just because I'm a sceptic doesn't mean I haven't looked at these pictures many times and tried to be open-minded. But............no cigar.

  Are you really free from the Watchtower?

  by yaddayadda in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the thread on how long it took you to get out of the organisation made me think.

  i honestly think anyone that spends more than half an hour per day on anti-jw sites like this is, psychologically, not out of the organisation at all, despite their best protests.

  the watchtower clearly still fascinates them to the point of an obsessive, compulsive need to frequently post on this website and others.

  You overlook the possibility that being on this site is, for some, the equivalent of solitare, knitting or chewing gum. You, Yadda, make the staggering assumption that we are all on here at the same level of intensity as, apparently, you are. Thirty minutes per day? How did you in your wisdom, come up with that? Do you have a superiority complex? Oh - don't bother to cut into your 30 minutes to answer.

  Oprah for President in '08. Why? Why not?

  by AuldSoul in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have seen the idea floated a few times in some interesting places, but also on threads here.. i think she would get the vote out in a way it has never been gotten out before.

  it would also throw all the pollster's margins of error way out of whack (which might be worth it, all by itself).. why do you think she should be or could be elected president?.

  why do you think she shouldn't be or couldn't be elected president?.

  If Oprah was made president it would just be the ultimate statement in the stupidity of the American voting public, not that they have any credibility left as it is. Americans are not far removed from Filipinos - childishly fascinated with famous movie and tv personalities to the point they give them political power, rather than voting for persons for their real intelligence, principles and political ability. In fact, Americans are even more naive than Filipinos when it comes to voting - Americans vote on the basis of family connections and nepotism, eg, George Senior and now George Junior, Bill Clinton now Hillary. Pathetic.

  Yadda, what's the gripe with Filipinos? Anyhoo, your last sentence is exactly why some feel that we would be just as well off voting for Oprah as another Bush or the like. The Bushes even make Bill Clinton look good. Hah! Arnold, Jessie, W - what difference does it make? Until a real statesman - or statesperson - emerges from the dross currently available - Oprah looks as good as any.

  Why not... we can't do much worse than the president we have now.

  I'm fairly convinced that we desperately need a non-politician for president - soon!

  I agree with jstalin. We couldn't do much worse. I am not a big Oprah fan, even though she lives in my town - well, part of the time - but I would definitely vote for her. She might actually get something done.

  Fuzzy Right-of-Way Rules Leads to Pathetic, Awkward, Theocratic Dork Fight

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  apupi - idaho.

  "there were watchtowers and osmond cd's strewn around everywhere" recalled the shaken resident marjorie spade, whose yard was the setting for a lame, sissy fight.

  "i couldn't believe that in this day and age we still are fighting religious wars", she said in the aftermath of the flailing, ineffectual fracas.. apparantly the outbreak of faith-based nerd violence took place when two groups of youths approached eachother while out in their respective ministries.
