12 ex-JWs at church yesterday...
by passwordprotected inas reported elsewhere on the forum, there were 12 ex-jws at our baptism service yesterday.
twelve.. it was quite an experience to hear about an ex-jw who had moved to another part of the country and had written down 150 names of jws in the area of glasgow she was originally from and had started praying for all those names last summer.
two of the people on her list were at the church yesterday, with their wives and children.

Did You Like Being Told What To Do When You Were A Witness?
by minimus ini think many jws enjoy not having to think, make crucial decisions or dwell on what life is all about.. it's much easier to follow orders and be a "sheep".. when you were a witness, were you independent or did you feel most comfortable being in the middle of the pack?.

What GIVES JW's CONFIDENCE?
by african GB Member inall of us on this forum know that jw org is just another cultic group..... we all know how confident and sure they feel about their org being the only one recognised by god (jehovah).. can anyone tell us what's behind their arrogance?....holy spirit?
( well i know that will be their answer) i don't believe that because it can't be proven.. don't tell us it's jehovah...... what gives the gb so much power to deceive so many people?.
sometimes i just wonder if maybe jw org is the truth, perhaps i should just swallow my pride and go to the elders and ask them to pray for me and get jehovah's forgiveness and undeserved kindness...... am i being naive or what?.

Reluctant to tell others of JW past?
by happpyexjw inhas anyone felt uncomfortable telling others that they were once jws?
i have shared this info with very few people in the 19 years since i left.
i don't want to have to explain to someone who wouldn't understand anyway.

Do Americans feel a 'special relationship' with the UK?
by ThomasCovenant inthe wt society always made a big point about the anglo-american world power when i was growing up in the t. i don't know if they still do.
probably not.. couple this with the uk media very often going on about a special relationship between the two countries.
some journalists would often point out though that this may have been wishful thinking on the part of the smaller uk.. i was a fan of alistair cooke's 'letter from america' and he , being of an older uk birth background would also reinforce this impression i had that there was a difference between the bond between the us/uk that was different to other countries.. .

Paradise...You Know You Still Want It
by cameo-d inis paradise is a universal archetypal concept?
or has it been the carrot to keep people subjected to rules and laws decreed by treacherous religions and upheld by governments?
the egyptians believed it; that's why their bodies were so carefully embalmbed, organs preserved in gobi jars; possessions included in the burial chambers, including live slaves destined to die to accompany their master; a lifetime spent planning a funeral.. .
