Do You Still Want To Know The Truth

by The-Borg in

something is very very wrong with our world.

or am i imagining it and things really aren't that bad?.

personally i think there are issues being played out about which we know nothing, we can only guess at ( i don't think it's the issue of universal sovereignty).

Which is your favourite anti-JW web site?

there a loads of anti-jw sites out there.. if you had to choose just one as being the best (apart from jwd, of course!

), which one would you pick?

perhaps which was most helpful when you were leaving?

I agree with going going gone. Great site. Beyond Jehovah's Witnesses. he pasted the url ... you guys should check it out.

Honest. No hidden agendas. Not preaching anything else. Very good.

Why are you upset?

this is for the christians.. let's put our swords away.. try to convince those of us that have lost our faith to accept jesus christ and all that that acceptance entails.. pretend that our lives( eternal) depend on it.. that's what you believe isn't it?.

this is an opportunity to win souls for christ.. yes.

things may get heated.

And peace to YOU, my brother!

I had a feeling we were on the same page.

And JH - anyone who offers beer has to be alright too! Thanks!

Hello

hello all ex-jw's long time lurker first time posting.

obviously my name is not my real name but i don't want to reveal my real name for fear of shunning obviously.

i have really appreciated much of what this site offers in vast amounts of information that is valuable to me.

The Oracle

Once again... WELCOME Lloyd....or should I say MATTHEW?

This is a great place to get some advice on how to handle any situation you may face - while still IN.

I for one, am still an elder, and still go to most meetings. I have had to ditch the field ministry, because I can't bear to do anything that will bring another innocent person in to this mess we call the truth.

But I can help you with insider information - whatever you need to know. I can get all the letters to BOE, have all my Kingdom Ministry School Notes, Elders book notations, yuda yuda yuda.

I have also organized and continue to organize several campaigns designed to awaken fellow JWs from their hypnotic JW brainwashed condition. If you would like to participate in any of them let me know. I'll show you the ropes and you can do some real good on your own.

Peace to you friend. We are here to help!

Great question NVRGNK,

And some equally great replies. Most were obviously very sincere.

From my perspective I would like to make this comment.

I was a believer. A real believer.

I believed it all. Deep down. All the time. I prayed to Jehovah like I would talk to my best friend. I believed he was listening.... no I KNEW he was listening. We were tight.

Then I had my awakening.

Now I find myself questioning everything. Evaluating everything.

Since the big awakening occured, I have found the need to take a step back. To cleanse my mind and soul of all the beliefs that I obtained from an organization that was built on lies and foolishness, and start anew.

I consider myself a spiritual person, yet my intellect is telling me that there is a possibility that God does not exist. That the bible is a collection of writings that is not inspired by any superhuman force. This makes me sad. I want to believe. Yet I do not want to believe in something that is not real. I want reality. I want to believe in things that our real. I want to be a good person. I want to do the right things.

I have no answer yet.

I am in evaluation mode.

No prejudice.

No pre-conceived ideas that can never be challenged. No beliefs to get defensive about.

If I ever figure it out, I'll let you know.

Letter that my DFed wife received from her Pioneer Mother

by Hangin_on in

we have been dfed for almost 3.5yrs and have been trying to get back in for 2 yrs and we are getting the runaround.. anyway..... here is the letter my pregnant wife received from her elderess pioneer mother.. .

dear mary,.

i am writing to ask you please do not try to talk to me until you are reinstated.

The Oracle

Dear Hangin_on,

After reading this letter, and all of the posts, I feel like most of the others here - SAD and ANGRY! And I have to admit...the ANGER is beginning to become the dominant emotion.

But I don't think we should direct our ANGER to the mother - she has been brain-washed, and is as much a victim as anyone.

HOWEVER.... I have to admit my anger is boiling over right now...and I don't mind telling you - it is directed towards the men in charge of the WT.. .

the Governing Body and all other men pulling the strings in Brooklyn. I feel like jumping in my car and heading straight to "headquarters", driving through the god-damn front window of whatever the hell address of Columbia Heights it is, springing out of my car, and then pounding the living sh** out of anyone that moves. Each and everyone one of the bastards deserves to pay a heavy price, and I have got a helluva MMA style hammer strike move that would feel oh so good to deliver in rapid succession....

It is getting to the point where my campaign of love love love, and my gentle attempts to open up the minds and hearts of dear friends and loved ones is going run its course.... and then..... and then...

Ah, who am I kidding? I am the Oracle. I am a nice guy. I would never do something like that....BUT I AM REALLY UPSET ABOUT THIS KIND OF TREATMENT!!!!

HOW CAN I HELP YOU, HANGIN_ON????

I want to do something to try and get through to this woman - the "mother". Surely she is not an evil person. She can be reached! She can be reasoned with!

Please... if there is anything I can do to help... let me know. And I promise, I won't beat anyone up.

Video of invisible Octopus

ok check this out!.

http://www.yetanothervideosite.info/videos.php?id=63.

this is either a well done bit of video fakery, or the most incredible example of natural camouflage ever caught on camera.

The Oracle

I agree with 5th.

Absolutely fake. But a nice job of editing just the same.
