The term apostate is used freely on this forum, don't you find it offensive
by avidbiblereader ini find the term apostate used freely towards those who have left the org, by both witnesses hiding and also ex witnesses calling themselves that.
don't you find that offensive.
i have been out for over 6 years and the last thing i consider myself is an apostate.

Does Jehovah Listen To Worldly Prayers?
by jayhawk1 indoes jehovah listen to worldly prayers?
when you was a jw, did you think jehovah ever listened to the prayers of the worldly?
aside from those "experiences" of people praying for the true religion only to have a couple out in service knock on their door seconds later, did you believe jehovah listen to other non-jw prayers?.

by whyizit inmy friend (not baptized jw yet, but heading that direction) is having a birthday soon.
i received my last birthday card from her about two years ago.

Tonight's service meeting
by sspo inwhat a load of crap- 10 min.
asking for more contributions in order to build more kh and reminded everyone not only to give cash but don't forget about leaving something for them in your will.. 25 min.
on the proper use of blood which is also a joke.. the km mentioned you cannot take the four components of blood individually in your body but every component was broken into smaller fractions which is up to you to make a decision to accept or reject.. the common jw does not know their left from their right in making decisions about the dozens of fractions of blood but they will obey blindly and not ask a question because that would be considered apostasy.. .

The Study of Light
by Apostate Kate inrecently i did some research on "light".
it fascinated me that there are several greek words used but merely the one in english.. jwv phos foce from an obsolete phao (to shine or make manifest, especially by rays; compare 5316, 5346); luminousness (in the widest application, natural or artificial, abstract or concrete, literal or figurative):--fire, light.. matthew 4:16-17 the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.
" from that time, jesus began to preach, and to say, "repent!
