Your View of Platonic Relationships with Men & Women- Change as EX-JW ?
by flipper ini know my view certainly changed for the better i feel after leaving the witnesses 5 years ago.
in part, thanks to my current wife as well ( who has platonic guy friends in her life she has known for years ) it helped me to see it is healthy, normal and natural which in my opinion helps both sexes add more insight into the thinking of men and women enabling a more balanced view of life.. most of us as ex-witnesses know of the tight control which was hammered into our brains about being " just friends " with the opposite sex.
i mean, it was ridiculous.

Can a person be a Christian and a scientologist?
by truthlover inlooking at their web site, it seems they rely completely on mankind to solve problems, yet their message is so close to the scriptures, it makes me wonder ---if, once you have your life in order- the scientology way, mankind should resolve all their problems since they believe all are equal, etc.. they dont seem to believe in god or in satan, but that the world is in a mess because men dont work together to better themselves.. any comments??.
theirs seem to be a perfect life, and have professionals in place to help relieve anyone of any baggage they carry from early life, ie -abuse, be it physical, emotional or religious..... .

Did YOU Really Care about "The Friends"?
by minimus inhonestly, did you really care about everyone in your hall?.
everyone gripes about how the majority of elders never cared but were you one who regularly showed how much you cared for the "brothers and sisters"?
i'll bet we all share some guilt in this.

The only way to leave is to believe
by halcyon inthat it's okay for there to be no "other place" to go to.
once you realize that there doesn't have to be one right religion that one must be a part of, but that life is blessedly filled with imperfect ways and people who all have a little bit of truth, then you find that you can leave with peace of mind.
(that doesn't make it any easier to be shunned and lose family, but at least inside yourself you're not filled with a gnawing fear of your own decision.

Jehovah inspires the writing of talk outlines.
by tresdecu inalthough the wt claim they are not inspired.
there is a crazy undercurrent, that i've always just took for granted, that many of the bros and sis's think they actually are inspired.
we recently had a statement in a public talk that "jehovah saw fit to have the governing body put this <whatever it was> in this outline".

The Horrors of Resurrection
by cameo-d ini have always heard it said that satan has an imitation for everything the creator has in mind.
i hope there is a resurrection such as jesus proclaimed.
if not, then i will just cease to exist and that's ok. i do not want satan's jehovah's resurrection.
