Anti-Semitic?
Somehow I thought Jesus was born a Jew, loved ordinary and downtrodden Jews, and took exception to those that were leading them astray (through religious legalism and moralism).

Did Christ Put an End to Organised Religion
by seekchristonly inyes, he was that radical.
im suggesting he put an end to organised religion with the prophesied destruction of jerusalem , the jewsish system, the old covenant and the temple in the 1st century..

Religion vs the gospel
by Fernando inour family's journey out of the watchtower has led us to see the gospel as the antithesis or exact opposite of religion.. for us religion is men telling us what to believe and do (to control us).. for us the gospel is god telling us what he has done (to liberate us from such men).. how have you come to see the relationship between religion and the gospel?.

Most Christians are unfamiliar with the unabridged gospel.
The same for most Jews who (should) know the gospel as "bissar".
The same for most Muslims who (should) know the gospel as "injil"/"injeel".
God has created the legal framework and precedents for our liberation.
These are communicated through the comprehensive, unabridged and common gospel/bissar/injil/injeel message, hidden in plain sight throughout the common Judeo-Christian-Muslim scriptures.
We are invited to accept on very generous terms, but religion, ignorance and busy-ness are powerful enemies.

A warm welcome flowerfreaks2.
Your openness and honesty is refreshing.
Isn't it wonderful how we can be our normal natural selves once we have dumped (the Watchtower) religion?
And great news to hear that you and family are doing well.
Greetings and best wishes to you all.

is going to a strip club a disfellowshipping offense?
by monis1 ini'm pretty sure it is, just wanted to confirm.
this would be someone who went once and only looked....

Definitely not if the person went there with the "right" people to promote the "right" religion using the "right" tools of trade.
Interpretation: It's all good if the person was accompanied by Pharisees to promote the GB with Watchtower publications.

i dont know exactly what would be the qualifications to win the scholarship or where the money would come from..

Finally learned how to live the REAL real life
by forest heathen insomeone suggested i post an introductory thread.
i am a married, rather young grandma of four precious rugrats, ages 2-9. i guess our only child son and his only child wife didn't want their own kids to be "onlies".
my other half and i married rather young (18 &22) and will be celebrating 31 years together this summer.. i am sort of add, keep thinking i am still 28, love my husband now more than ever, and am so glad i woke up and left the crazy cult.. my husband and i began studying months after marrying and then decided to take the dunk.

Just letting you know I passed the exam
by will-be-apostate inhi, my apostate friends.. a couple of weeks ago i asked for some advice regarding studying methods.
then some of you asked me to let you know my score after i take the exam at mineralogy.. i scored 90%.
i'm pretty happy with it because the exams i take are not in my native language.. if i keep up with the good scores i might get a scholarship and then bye bye watchtower society.
