"God's morality is higher than yours" as an illegitimate argument
by gubberningbody inthis sort of thing is often posited by religionists and yet it's really just a postulate with no foundation.. who is god?.
"he's smarter, stronger and able to leap tall buildings by just moving them about with his mind.".
none of that argues for moral superiority.. if god's were higher than mine in any given instance in order for anyone to know it he or she would have to establish a standard for judgment and then make a comparison.

HomeTown Congregation
by AK - Jeff inwhat a beautiful place it was.
a real 'crag' of strength amidst an evil world indeed.. mine had the 'trinity james' in charge.
you know, the 'service committee', best recognized by the pious look of pain on their faces, the brown smudge of shit on their lips right after the circus overseer arrived.. there was gossipping garbo and the merry pioneer fornicators, joy and marysue the racial bigots, and brice the janitor, expert in hiding his child-labor business from uncle sam.. elder bob, a happy pensioner, who designed weapon systems until he retired, but insisted it was 'not his department'.

I had to make a decision
by journey-on inwhen i first faded from jws, i didn't know for sure whether it was the truth or not.
being raised in it, it is not so easy to abandon the years of indoctrination.
then, one day i decided: sh*t or get off the pot.

Not been on for AGES but need to rant
by billie jean ini've not used any boards for a long time because i felt i'd got what i needed from them and felt i needed to 'move on' for want of a better word.
i've just come back from staying at my j.w parents house for a few days (which was long enough) we don't usually bring the subject of 'it' up but the other night i got it all, the bile was out, they were on defensive mode, to the point of shouting, insulting me, telling me that they'll 'cut me off' if they find out i'm apostate, then laughing at me and causing me to actualy feel worthless it was unreal.
i told them i'm an atheist and tried to tell them what the 'truth' does and what it really is but i got absolutely nowhere.

Is the WTS preparing for a MASS EXODUS?
by passwordprotected inhobo ken and i were chatting about this yesterday.. the wts has past experience of losing vast numbers of members very quickly.
from their post-25 and post-75 experiences they will know how best to prepare their organisational structure to remain afloat when they experience another exodus.. we're only 5 years from the 100 year anniversary of ct russell walking into the dining room and announcing the gentile times had ended.
since then, millions of people have molded and adjusted their lives and personal expectations based on the date 1914. the wts must know that 2015 is going to bring with it one or two upset jws.... so, is the wts preparing for a mass exodus right now?.

What Must an Angel Do To Repent?
by cameo-d inhas wt published literature implying that angels might repent and be forgiven?.
we all know that god does not accept a simple "i'm sorry.".
first of all, god requires two witnesses; then, an investigation asking all your friends and neighbors if the gossip is true.
