Wow, it just clicked. I'm agnostic!
by marmot ini honestly don't think i've ever been this happy in my life.
of course, i've got bipolar ii so i might just be edging on a bout of hypomania but i'm good at taking my med so this could very well be genuine!
i'm so excited at the new look on life this has given me.

i disassociated myself in 1988 at the age of 18. my mother had divorced my non-believing father and hooked up with one of her jw pioneer sisters brothers and she ended up disfellowshipped.

Remember: Every Kingdom Hall Has Dynamite Within
by metatron inallow me to point out that, per the society's regulations, every kingdom hall has a pile of metaphorical dynamite within.
every kingdom hall.
is required to keep judicial files - often going back decades - locked in the kingdom hall.

Anybody in Quebec want to meet a Governing Body member this Sat.?
by marmot indavid splane will be giving the dedication talk for the new st-georges kingdom hall.
my parents were going to go but that got sidelined by a funeral happening at the same time.
my parents used to pioneer there with brother splane before he received the "heavenly calling" (i wonder if you can buy one of those in the hunting section at wal-mart, next to the duck calls?

Sweetface's father has a message for everyone here!
by sweetface2233 inafter being raised as a jw, my dad was df'd for the 2nd time in 1994. that year he lost a wife, 3 children, mother and brother, as well as every friend he had made throughout his 40 years of life.
over the years my sister and i gradually started contacting him, but never had a real father/daughter relationship.
a few years ago, during my divorce, he and i sat down and started discussing his feelings.

help needed. God of OT vs God of NT
by why144000 ini need a bit of help trying to explain to my wife that the god of the ot was not the same "god is love" of the nt.
she is coming around to the fact that the gb are not the fds however i keep getting the line that god loves everyone and always has.
i will be researching the ot to show her examples of where the god of the ot demanded killing and forced slavery etc.

I just gave 2 Mormon Elders Hell!
by smellsgood inoh man, 2 mormons were walking on my road as i was driving home from work, i stopped them, asked them firstly why in the world they were walking on a dirt road in their suits where the houses are hundreds of yards apart, and then to come back to my house.
wow, it was so interesting to see the hundreds of mormon articles i've been reading in prep for talking to the jw (who had to cancel on me to go on a trip, plus i'm kinda wary about talking to her now, as i know this will sound silly, but her mom and fam stopped by the coffee shop, and i know my boss the owner cannot afford the loss of customers...who knows how many of them are witlesses!
anyways, one was from utah, one from texas....the parroting and the language that was so present in those articles was dumbly flung at me willy nilly in adverse to my arguments.
