the february 14, 2004, issue of the age contains an interesting interview with broadcaster kate langbroek.
this lady was one of jehovah's witnesses: "acceptance by them is conditional upon you remaining a jehovah's witness.
i don't have any friends who are witnesses now because i left.".
Hi ClearlyNow, thanks for your response, and as you can tell i have obviously read it.
I know i have only a few posts to go before i make "junior" but i just think that it's inappropriate to be labelled a "newbie" or a "junior" especially since i been around for a looooooong time
I just don't post that often. But i do alot of reading. Maybe I could get my description fast tracked to "Loiterer" or "Silent Jedi".
I'll just get back to my loitering now...
Cheers, DK
getting to know various personalities on this board, i get to feeling that a missing component in my life is to get *really* into something.. for instance, the board has our resident intellectuals and political debaters.
i am in awe of the broad scope of knowledge and seemingly instant recall of obscure facts that many on this board seem to have.
i consider myself to be fairly intelligent, but i am light years from being a true intellectual.
I guess I'm into alot of things, especially since leaving the wts.
Biggest realisation i had was that I could now explore my musical abilities. So I'm really into composition and production right now.
Also into Motorcycles, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Software development and girls!
Cheers, DK

But this article really has nothing to do with Australian JW's or XJW's specifically.
please advise this old woman ... which should i get for a christmas gift play station or x-box?

X-Box. No doubt about it.

minimus started a great thread a few days ago asking what was "it" that finally made you leave the "truth"?.
the replies showed that, for the most part, it was the unloving, uncaring attitude displayed by most of the 'brothers & sisters' - elders particularly.
some posters even made the point that this lack of love drove them out despite them harbouring fears that they might actually be leaving the truth.
I think there are two types of JW's.
The ones were doctine is really important. These are the ones that like to understand why the society writes the things it does.
The other type just accept whatever doctrine they are fed. What's important to them is the social aspect of the religion.

can we still call god, jehovah.
ok stupid question but i really want to know
I don't really believe in a personal god anymore. I tend to think of god as some sort of force. Not really sure how to define it, but I definitely believe in the spiritual and I thing there is some link between the physical and the spiritual. I feel we all have that connection to the spiritual, but some are more attuned to it than others.

take a good look at the new 2004 watchtower calendar and compare it with any other calendar you receive.. it's tiny ( old folks can barely read the print).
it's only eight pages - with the months doubled up on each page.. .
now, tell me how god is wonderfully expanding this organization, amidst frequent appeals for more contributions!.
I always felt guilty about having a "worldly" calender in my bedroom instead of the societies one. I usually liked to have something that inspired me hanging on the wall. But the societies calendar was just boring and lame as hell. The later ones reminded me of christian or biblical artwork that catholics used to hang up in their houses.
I usually had a LoTR or Star Trek calendar. Would have loved to have one with bikini clad girls but I think that was out of the question in my house.

anyone owned one?
sens is looking at one that has a "funny" transmission.
i was talking to a friend who owns one here in oz, she also has had two in canada (she's a recent import) she said that compared to other cars, the autos are a bit different, probably because of the higher revving engine in the little sports car.
See sens? It's not just me that thinks you should get a manual transmission.
