The whole privileges thing is bunk. I mean, shouldn't one be able to because he or she wants to do something, not because they are "allowed" do. At my church (the guys and girls) are able to light the candles, it is not a privilege that belongs to just any one group of people. Why doesn't the WTS allow this too with their "privileges" and allow anyone who wants to. Just have people take turns each week.

disfellowshipping / disassociated
by tak ini have been disfellowshiped, which i have mentioned before here, i was just wondering if it makes any difference if i disassociated myself now, i mean officially, with a letter, or does it make any difference?

Is it my fault?
by bite me ini feel kind of bad.
i read last week, the message of one true jesus freak leaving.

Okay, I'll try not to take it to heart too much. Lurking is still good, I suppose. Maybe they will come back. I think it will still be great if they do come and read every so often, hopefully they'll find what they are looking for.
Maybe she thought I was a JW or report her , I don't know. I don't think I will ever know. If she's reading this, I do wish her the best.

The poster that mentioned that your message may be over looked (i think it was ozzie) he is correct. I skipped over it myself, because the whole texting thing is over rated. I don't even do it in my personal texting day, and it is kind of annoying to sit and read in broken language. Anyway, welcome to the board. I'm sure, now that people see there are responses to this post, people will now read it to see what it is. That's how I decdided to open it.
I'm sorry I do not have an answer for you because I do not have experience with that issue. Best wishes.

What if ... Eve ate the apple / Adam didn't?
by sacolton inwhat do you suppose life would be like if only eve ate the apple, but adam refused?
-
-
bite me
If Adam refused... he'd be gay? He would be the one sitting in rose peddles and the wife tending to all things, even working her hand to the bone?
I don't get it, Adam and Eve BOTH ate the apple, men should have some sort of 'time of month" too. and the pain!

I feel kind of bad. I read last week, the message of One True Jesus Freak leaving. I probably should have not announced (here in the message) that I saw someone on the board. Which turns out to be them. I didn't think anything of it, just thought it was kind of cool that there was another person actually in the same building and neither of us knew.
I hope I did not scare them away by doing that. That was not what I wanted, at all. I truly hope they do come back. They seem to have really good and pratical questions. The kind of questions that they want to be answered because they were curious, not here to try to prove that JW's are wrong.
I sent a message to them, and haven't received any reply. I'm not really looking for a reply, just would like them to give this place a chance.Hopefully they'll be back... isn't it mouthy who comes back?

Not sure if my post of this went though or not earlier, this website has been up and down.
Anyway, what I found is very interesting. The person who made this site goes into some detail of 1914 prophecy and uses the organization own material to back up his material and show where the society went wrong. I am hoping that I can use this. We can see a lot of changes in this doctrine.
Please tell me what you all think.
Thanks!

Retraining our WT-controlled minds - THE GAME 1
by Lady Lee ininspired by the thread about a mom wearing pants to the kingdom hall i thought this might be a good way to help many of us to see the absurdity of some of the wts/jw rules "principles" .
i'll post one "rule" a day.
so let's start with the way men have to wear their hair.
-

1 Corinthians 11:14 mentions that men's hair should be shorter than women's hair.
Then women should have the beards. LOL
