  I would describe myself as spiritual.

  I have a firm belief in God and a higher purpose.

  But I am in no hurry to affiliate with any religious organisation.

  The Survey is now CLOSED (temporarily)!

  i have now closed the survey down temporarily, because we need to migrate the results over to an identical survey that will have its own unique domain, etc.

  once the survey is settled in its new home, i will be revealing the new url for you to access it and/or get updates on its progress.. in the meantime, i thought you might like to be made aware of the results as they stand:.

  I have the ZTE Blade - very good for the money.

  I would recommend Android as a platform - very versatile.

  if you are visiting this site for the first time, or for the first time in a long while, i would appreciate if you could click on the following link and participate in the 2011 global survey of jehovah's witnesses.

  both active jehovah's witnesses and former jehovah's witnesses around the world are invited to participate anonymously, and the results will be forwarded to the governing body and world's media.. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/t7zm5zc.

  this thread will be updated with the results of the survey (for the time being at least) should you be interested.. in its first 3 days, the survey collected close to 400 responses.

  Some interesting comments on this thread.

  Anyway - Cedars - ""APPLAUSE"" - the survey is a great idea - I have just completed it.

  Second - Any talk of somehow cedars is stealing our I.P. addresses for some devious plan is laughable. What would be the motives for such a cunning plan?

  Lady Lee - oh dear - it is all a bit embarrassing..... would have been better to just say nothing.

  Look - if some of you do not like cedars plan then fine - but why does it feel that some of you are trying to fight Cedars when the real enemy is in Brooklyn New York?

  I for one applaud anyone who attempts to expose the WTBTS for what it is.

  I do read the bible - not regularly enough though.

  And as Listemer says - it is good reading it without being told what it all means - reading it without bias it much better.

  Atheist Fascism

  by Band on the Run in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is so draining for me to constantly read threads by atheists that assert that those of who are uncertain or have faith have irrational minds.

  god can not be proven or unproven.

  the harping is tedious.

  I would describe myself as Christian - but I do not attend any church.

  Someday I may start to attend a church but do not feel the need to do so at the moment.

  Good luck mouthy.

  I have to agree - this site is not what it used to be.

  I just hope that JWN remains a strong enough force to help others exit the WTBTS.
