Hope for uz apostates
by wozadummy insince the wts speaks so beamingly about ,and quotes never endingly solomons writings, we should consider it possible that ,since solomon died apparently as an apostate that perhaps ray franz and we too may get everlasting life and he may even be quoted one day.
this would be consistant would'nt it?
what say ye?

Inconsistency of 2 Witness rule
by wozadummy ini want to put this out for comment and also direct this to lurker jw's as something to think about.
witnesses have the 2 witness rule to prove whether a jw pedophile,molester,drunkard beater etc is guilty or not.
this protects the perpetrator by the perp simply saying to themself that they have sought gods forgiveness personally ,so they reason in their minds it's ok to lie about their guilt to the elders and therefore they get off the hook.

Apology to all
by wozadummy inthis is an apology to all for my recent posts, i did'nt mean to upset anyone .
just coping with leaving the org ,and the past ,and trying to support my wife who, as some know from my prevoius posts has tried to deal with her pedophile elder(past) father for many years now thru the org ,and then being badly treated by them and her large extended family (most are witnesses and are trying to silence her), made me hit rock bottom.
we are now taking action via the police and court system and she is barely coping ,and me being bi-polar does'nt help matters much and i fell into to an unreal state for a while as we don't have much support of any kind.

Thanks all now I'm leaving
by wozadummy indue to funkyderek i have come to the decision to leave this board.
when i posted on the current gay thread in a way that i thought would stimulate thinking and lighten up the seriosness of the thread and have a laugh, he and others put me down publically labelling me.
so i find it difficult now to continue posting knowing that someone has influenced others into thinking that i'm not worthy of being here because my phrasing and spelling is bad and that i'm apparently a "hyporite".

JW WEDDINGS - MORAL?
by wozadummy injust an observation - how many couples do you think have not had any form of sexual conduct before getting married in a kingdom hall?.
i think not that many, and when i have alluded to this with young couples over the years they usually look as guilty as hell if this is hinted at.. so if this is the case how can god be blessing their marraiges and in turn the organization if this is common?.

What age for baptism?
by wozadummy in.
when i was a mormon i was baptised at age 8.. as witnesses some get baptised pretty close to this age.. when they face all those years ahead with so much of life to learn and understand how can it be right to come down so hard on young people who, when going thru puberty and beyond have to come to grips with all the feelings and mixed up thinking of youth and then fall short of the ideal and ,say ,fall in love with someone and have sex and then face a judicial commitee.. everyone is different and it's naturally easier for some young ones than for others due to alot of factors and keep on the straight and narrow.. but here is my opinion on things, simply put , jesus as a perfect man was not called upon to dedicate himself for baptism and full dedication to god till he was 30!.
is it not reasonable to expect the same from imperfect people led by sinful inclinations to make a mature decision when older at 30 instead of a teen or even a preteen and expect full control and even repentence?

My Observation...How Come?
by wozadummy ini've nearly finished reading the 2 ray franz books and i've been on this forum for a few months and i've wondered about this:.
on both the books and the forum much is said about the watchtower lying ,misleading ,being a false prophet ,having no conscience toward the after effects of decisions they have made that have effected peoples lives ,even sometimes tragically.. well ,ok ,but my observation is this :very rarely ,if at all, does anyone say directly that the watchtower is lead and influenced by satan.does this mean that :.
ones have lost faith in god /religion because of the watchtower org and now don't really believe in satan now.

Forgiveness the JW way -is'nt right!
by wozadummy infor many years it troubled me the way the watchtower handled the matter of forgiveness.. from the bible we gain the insight that jehovah forgives ,and is always ready to forgive, people who approach him repentently .. but it always seemed to me that when articles were commenting on how we should always be ready to forgive others ,we had to extend it beyond even what jehovah does and try to make ourselves forgive even those that expressed no remorse over what they did to us :.
to keep peace.
to move ahead .

Where was Daniel?
by wozadummy inwhen i was going to meetings i raised a question at the book study when the daniel book was being covered.
when nebuchadnezzar had the image built all the people including all the rulers including the hebrew ones were commanded to bow to the image.
it was brought to the attention of neb that three hebrews had not bowed down and it resulted in them being saved from the feiry furnace by an angel.. my question was then, where was daniel?
