  Site issues: Dec 30 Update

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  first of all, some apologies - i had planned to spend the last couple of days getting everyone signed in to the new site and sorting account issues out but i wasn't getting over the flu as i thought, i got worse.

  i've probably had 4 hours sleep in the last few days.

  anything that requires too much thinking isn't going to happen right now.

  You didn't need things like battery warmers in Irlam (the car would get nicked before the battery died).

  Why did Paul Gillies resign from the IBSA board amongst claims over the handling of sex abuse.

  this is a continuation from the below thread.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/8650001/uk-wtbts-headquarters-silentlambs.

  basically it was discussing how a sex abuse incident was handled, and that the upper echelon were now falling on the sword over it.

  this is taken from silent lambs .

  Who will replace him......John Caruthers? He has been doing some sugar coating broadcasting for the JW's.

  I reckon this Outlaw is an impostor. Until I see Mutley alive and laughing I will treat with utmost suspicion.

  Will the evolutionists save us from the coming catastrophe?

  the earth's magnetic field is in a weakening stage right now.

  data collected this summer by a european space agency (esa) satellite suggests the field is weakening 10 times faster than scientists originally thought.

  if the magnetic field weakens enough, then the earth could be hit with dangerous amounts of solar radiation and cosmic rays .....

  I'm lost for words. What the hell has the opening post got to do with evolutionary biology? Or even the big bang theory? Why would anyone describe it as a "good post"?

  Hey Mr. Stan Livedeath (if anyone hasn't worked it out it's an anagram of the Dark Lord!) glad you made it through to Simon's New System. Isn't the New Order wonderful. Now where's my Panda?

  I Let Go Of Faith Ten years Ago Today

  by cofty in

  after more than 30 years as a jw and 9 as a born-again christian i finally let go of faith 10 years ago today.... it was on boxing day 2004 that news of the asian tsunami put the final nail in the coffin of my relationship with god.

  since that time i have listened attentively to every possible argument in defense of faith; there has never been a single moment that i have felt any discomfort with my decision.. life without god has been liberating.

  no longer do i have to defend the indefensible.

  10 years ago I was serving as an elder becoming more and more disillusioned with my life as a JW. Interestingly there was a sister in our congregation  who was on holiday when the tsunami struck, she survived but I think it was the last straw for her. Her husband and her converted in the late 90's he died in a motorcycle accident in 2002. The congregation never appeared to be particularly supportive after his death, just the usual platitudes. By the time I left in 2009 she had faded and was eventually DF'd for smoking.

  anyone from that hall?.

  we attended a memorial for a long time friend there this past weekend.

  it was my first time in a kingdom hall since memorial 2008. as per usual, the people were lovely but the message had gaps and left me feeling somewhat blank and cold.

  well, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.

  i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.

  they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.
