Watched TV evangelists for the first time today
by shopaholic ini was flipping through the channels while doing cardio and i decided to hear what a couple of these people had to say.
while i've determined that i'm agnostic, this one guy was pretty good...he was practical and funny.
he made the bible seem more like a good self-help book than a "book laws to be obeyed or else you'll die".

Four years late. Just watched Passions of the Christ. I have a question
by shopaholic inas you know this movie was banned for jws.
any faithful witness would not watched a non-jw bible movie (even though they do it all the time but that's a different subject.
) i watched it this pass week over a couple of days.

What is God doing right now?
by shopaholic inif god exists, what is he so busy doing that he can't help the folks in nvr's thread and the millions of folks in a similar or worst situation?.

i was actually going to start a whole rant about it this morning (before i saw nvr's thread) because things are not adding up .

Michael Jackson cries after celebrating first christmas
by shopaholic ini know you all are tired of hearing about michael jackson but after seeing this video, i was reminded of the guilt that lingers after the leaving the jw religion.
as i understand it, his primary reason for leaving was because latoya was df'd and he didn't like having to chose between religion and family.
sounds familiar?.

My mom called...my niece no longer wants to be one of JWs
by shopaholic inmy mom called and so did several other folks over the past week to tell me that my neice has announced that she no longer wants to be one of jws and will not be returning to the kingdom hall.
supposedly she made this annoucement a several months ago and no one took her seriously till her mom (my ex-sister-in-law and a super pioneer of more than 20 years) just stopped attending meetings a few months ago.
anyway, since they both seemed to have stopped drinking the kool-aid, i get the conf-call from several family members.

Guess who's no longer a newbie???
by shopaholic indedicating my 100th post to trev, oompa and blondie and all the other courageous and inspirational souls here at jwd!!!
without your stories, your humor, your words of wisdom and your courage to share, i don't know where i would be right now but i know it wouldn't be pretty.
you taught me that its okay to cry, its okay to love, its okay to question and its okay to live!!!
