moving On....
by In_between_days inhave you heard the song "stuck in a moment you cant get out of" by u2 ?
i was listening to this today and it got me thinking........... i have decided that i will no longer be contributing to this forum.... at least for the meantime.
this forum has helped me in every way that i need to be helped, and for that i thank everyone who played a part in this.. i guess i have achieved my goal now.

When did you realised that everything had changed?
by In_between_days inin life, there are certain pivotal moments when you realise that every thing has changed dramatically.
it's a breathtaking and overwhleming feeling.
you may think back to who you were on this day a year ago, compared to who you are now - the contrast is incredible.. i find change in viewpoints and thinking evolves slowly, over a long period of time, you dont know the change is taking place until one day, you realise for one stunning minute that you are everything that you never were.

What are JW's embarrased to say to interested ones
by In_between_days inmy latest addition to my thread "armageddon - jw speculations" got me thinking.
i was talking about jw's, and how they will avoid telling people at the doors that they believe they will be the only ones to survive armageddon.. i know when i was a jw, there was certain things that i was embarrased to tell interested ones about, and prefered to avoid the issue, or prance around it, trying to make it sound less harsh, or make me look like a complete nut.
when i talk to my jw family now, i notice there are certain issues that they will try to deny about the organisation, constantly.

Panorama issue on www.watchtower.com
by In_between_days in.
o.k, so if i am incredibly slow and stupid sorry, but is everyone aware that the panarama issue is now defended on www.watchtower.com, i was a little surprised to see it up there, as i have'nt seen it mentioned on this forum before.. you will see it at www.jw-media.org/.
if this has already been discussed, sorry, i'm an idiot.. i have already read this letter on the forum, but i was not aware it was actually on the official watchtower website.

A question about shunning
by In_between_days ini was wondering if anyone would have any comments or responses to this question:.
if one was never baptised, but is however, an active apostate, (contributing to these boards, conversing with other apostates ect) is that a reasonable cause for jw shunning, from family?
this is a question i'd love an answer to, and if anyone has any watchtower answers to this question, i'd love it if you could provide them, i'd really appreciate it.

Aussies - Need help, getting the news over here
by In_between_days into everyone from australia,.
i have viewed the recent airings on both bbc panorama and dateline, and was extremely disturbed and tearful from the child abuse cases.
i must add also, that although i had heard alot about the child abuse, it was extremely shocking to have it proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, and to also watch the gb's cowardly response to the case.. i know this will make a huge impact on my jw freinds, and am very keen to get the story over here on perhaps "60 minutes" being the most relevant show.

How many did YOU recruit?
by In_between_days injust a quick question, and one that seems to take jehovahs witnesses back a little, an extremely good question to ask a pioneer.
"so, with all your hours of service, how many people have you actually brought into the jehovahs witness organisation?".
um.... genuinely, 100% of my old jw freinds have all been raised in the organisation.

Why dont JW's have a youth group?
by In_between_days insomething that has been alarming to my jw family is the amount of teens ("young ones") that have bailed out of the organisation, never to return.. they use the excuse, as would most jw's that "satan is getting them - he knows young ones are vulnerable.".
if you want my opinion, young people are getting far more educated - they are becoming far more broad minded than they were say 10 or 20 years ago.
because of the slow yet sturdy slackening of the "no college" rule, many more young jw's are attending university or college than ever before, and with further education comes more knowledge, more interaction with reasonable and intelligent conversations with educated people and most importantly -use of the internet ("satans latest tool, as put by a jw i talked to recently).
