What is your rating?
by billyboy inas a bit of a newbie , i'm interested as to the overall viewpoint of site users and spectrum of views.. using a crude gauge , where 1 = completely convinced "stepford"jw ("jhs organisation is wonderful etc") and 10 is a completely rabid "tear down the tower" apostate/ex-witness pathalogically hating the whole jw structure , where do you fit in?
(apolgies to both groups - no offense intended).. i'm about 2.5 - somewhat disillusioned , keen for reforms in certain areas but broadly accepts the teachings and loves the lifestyle.
would never leave.

Ever look in the mirror and not recognize yourself?
by AlmostAtheist inhave you ever had the experience of looking in the mirror and seeing what appeared to be a stranger looking back at you?
i don't mean this metaphorically, nor do i mean that you look so disheveled that others wouldn't know you either.
i mean you look in the mirror and see what you always see, but today it seems as if you've never seen it before.. i get this every few months.

by darth frosty inwhen you leave your basically out on an island and left in a lurch.

Real Reason the Annointed Won't Die Off.
by Woodsman inw79 11/15 p. 27 benefiting from one mediator between god and men ***.
when the last of these approved spiritual israelites cease to be men because of earthly death and a resurrection to a share in the heavenly kingdom, then the mediatorship of jesus christ will cease also.
