When an organization claims to be directed by the almighty God, who has all knowledge of science, there should be no need for "new light"

Science is like the WTBTS...(always coming out with New Light)
by journey-on inscience has tried over the centuries to explain human existence, cosmology, and the nature of life.. at any given time in history, any number of theories have been postulated and the masses accepted them.
as fact because some great scientist came up with it and was able to baffle us/them with mathematical.
equations to "prove" it so.

How many of you Ex Jehovah's Witnesses married early and it was a disaster?
by isnrblog inwhat a common tale.
you marry early becasue you can't have sex.. i was married at 19 and divorced at 50. the only thing that held it together was our involvement in the jw's.
otherwise it would have been over in less than 5 years.. my kids are not witnesses and have a terrible relationship with their mother, as she is always trying to shove it down their throats.. this is still happening.

I don't believe in the Bible either. The JW thing was more socio-economic and the fear of disfellowshipping.
I do not think there is anything wrong with sex outside of marriage. I don't really care what the Bible says.

My ex had some molestation issues also. She's not a bad person, we just weren't a match.
Of course, I'm an a**hole, but what do you expect.

Wow. This JW guy may be in for a hit. I guess that the only thing I can say us that disfellowshipping is not that bad.
Maybe your son could tell him that.
In my case, I really am much happier DF'd.
I'd say go with your heart.

It wouldn't surprise me if the divorce rate was low.
I know many couples who are just hanging on, being kept in line by the disfellowshipping threat.

Do you guys remember the big push to baptize kids?
by isnrblog init was in the 80's i think but they began stressing the urgency of baptism for anyone who was "at an age of understanding".
i heard several assembly talks that said kids under ten could be baptized if they qualified.. this sticks in my mind because my kids were 12 or so and not qualified in my view.
my ex wife pushed my daughter into baptism at 12, she is now 32, not a witness and we both laugh about it.. www.isnrblog.com.

Wow, the year is 2008, and still no Armageddon!
by Nosferatu inevery time we enter a new year, i think about how i wasn't supposed to make it this long.
i really believed we wouldn't live past the year 2000, and armageddon would change everything.
it almost strikes me as living on borrowed time, but then i remember that armageddon is a story, not a reality.

I thought they ground up the dead Bethelites and made Watchtowers out of them.
Kind of a resurection.
