...do you know where your faders are, watchtower society?.

i just glanced at my watch and realized that if i was still active, i'd be sitting in a coliseum fighting falling asleep listening to some elder drone on and on, but here i am posting on an "apostate" message board.

how cool is that?

Name the good things that Jw's have or believe....

we always seem to get focused on the bad - and there is plenty of it for sure - and anyone who follows my posts knows i am no wt apologist by any stretch.

but focusing on the postive is a good thing in the 'moving on' process i think too.

what do you think jw's had right?.

I want a Bible
by PrimateDave in
1. jw
2. friends
i want a bible that hasn't been written by or for 'apologists'.

i want a bible written in english that correctly translates 'yhwh' as 'yahve' or 'yahweh' and 'elohim' as 'gods' instead of 'god'.

a recent bit of study has shown that many modern english bibles commit pious fraud by translating words like 'asherah'(idol used in sex worship by the patriarchs) as 'grove' or 'tree' in order to cover up the true roots of ancient 'hebrew' worship.

Stress and witoid life
by sinis in

2. experiences
funny how witnoids used to preach that they currently lived in "spiritual paradise".

yea!

if you realy stop and think about it, witnoids are under more pressure and stress (dealing with real life and witnoid life) than those who are "worldly".

WHAT IS QUINTESSENTIALLY ENGLISH?
by Dansk in
1. jw
2. friends
this is actually something that fascinates me and i'd like your own opinions on the subject.

i list here things i feel are quintessentially english (with apologies to the scots, welsh and irish as they have their own uniqueness).. first of all, it's got to be a cup of tea (yes, i know it wasn't originally made here, but it has become an integral part of 'englishness').. cup of tea.

UK & IRELAND MAP
by ballistic in
1. jw
2. friends
i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
