Immortal Soul? Impossible!
by wannabe inimpossible!.
we notice, paul tells us that two things were handed down, to all mankind through the process of inheritance.
the reason being, if the soul was to be immortal, adam himself would have had to pass that on to mankind.

God of Abraham vs God of Moses (and other gods)
by cameo-d inmany people say that the bible has contradictions.
many find that god seems to be inconsistent in his dictates, and even unjust acording to their own sense of fairness which comes from conscience.. could it be that these contradictions arise because people believe that the bible portrays a one singular true god?
if this were so then there is certainly evidence to be found that this god is neurotic and has a terrible case of ocd, what with all the rituals of "do this three times, then turn toward the east, etc.".

All Right I'm a Little Freak Out-> Psyhic Thread Warning!
by frankiespeakin inokay here's what happened:.
my sister who i'm living with just came down stairs to tell me she was on the internet with her daughter and husband talking to this psychic and she was all nervous and excited.. she know i don't believe in the stuff, btw the last two girlfriends i had lived with on and off were both claiming to be psychic, and they were 40-60% correct but i could see that what they predicted were mainly driven by their own ego's, so i never put much stock in what they did just humor them.. so she said that this guy(psychic) was 100% correct.
she asked him questions like:.

New arrangement for hand-drying at district conventions - KM February 2010
by Gopher innew arrangement for hand-drying at district conventions.
in our efforts to simplify arrangements and reduce costs, the society is pleased to announce a new arrangement that will take effect at the annual district conventions starting with the keep on the watch even longer convention in the summer of 2010. the society needs to carefully allocate its resources so that the worldwide work can continue to grow and that the society can defend itself from legal challenges instigated by our opposers.. effective this summer, the number of paper towels allowed per visit in the restrooms at convention sites will be reduced from one to zero.
we do not think our dear brothers and sisters will notice the difference.

New to this site....
by TanCatLuvr ini am so thrilled to find this forum.
it is such a relief to know that all of us 'apostates' are normal people who had the nerve to question what has been crammed down our throats.. i am 4th generation ex-jw with family members at bethel, doing missionary work, and pioneering.
even though i have been out for almost 20+ years, i still had guilt admitting to myself that this was a cult-like organization until just recently.

How many of you were baptised at a young age?
by lepermessiah inone thing this site has made me reflect on the baptism practice in jw land.. many of us were raised in the religion, thus you were given the pressure early on to shoot for baptism as a goal.. i remember feeling bad because i waited until the ripe old age of 14 to take the plunge.. looking back, i realize that when i was 14, i didnt even know what my favorite color was, let alone have enough knowledge to make a life altering decision.
yet, growing up in that climate, i would say anyone who waited past their early teens to get baptised was viewed with great suspicion and was likely to be viewed as "bad association".
kids who took the dip at 8-9 years of age were viewed as "wise beyond their years" and the like.. how old were some of you when you were baptised, and what are your feelings on the matter?.
