wow talk about a way to push your garbage.
i can see it now the wbts is going to start taking their web pages down when people with open minds start picking apart what they write and openly publish for all to have this is only going to get better.
That article has little to do with the robot and ball catching, thats just a typical JWism illustration...
the real message is that a so called scientist, an acedemic guy, was so impressed by the research that went into the creation book that he sold his life to the WT
THAT is the message for all the less educated JWs...you don't have to look up and check all the quotes, this guy didnt and he's SMARTER than you.
just beleive

we recently told a good friend that we haven't seen in awhile that we are no longer jw's.
she is like a sister to me but is on the verge of shunning us because when she asked me why we left the org.....i told her and she didn't like what she was hearing.
she said she felt that her faith was being challenged.
Ok
thats a long email but it deserves a short reply because you will not 'reach' her.
"Dear ----------, please explain why we cannot be friends just because i do not believe in the exact same carbon copy of belief system as you. Only one thing is important here, our friendship. Are you prepared to shun us because we see things differently? Show us where in the bible it says to do that."

so i was having an interesting thought the other night -- albeit probably not original, but interesting.
what would be accomplished if thousands of us banded together and held a huge protest of the issue of shunning family right behind the governing body's headquarters (25 columbia heights) in brooklyn bridge park?
the shunning of non-believing family is a strong issue that i'm sure everyone of us could get behind 100%.
The protest would have no effect on the WT or the JWs in Bethel or Brooklyn
The major target of protest would be to reach the public so they know just how horrid the religion is.
As for changing the policy, that won't happen until it hurts them in the courts, then 'newlight' may well flash on that issue.

i came across this video featured on yahoo of a girl dancing at lax over the holidays.
i looked her up and found out that she is a former jw and even did some sort of play about it.
i was wondering if anyone else has heard of her.
wonderful!
Had I been there I would have danced with her...not been a zombie like all those people

last night all us servants were called to an important and critical meeting next week.
no one would give me a heads up on it.
our boe went to their secret squirrel school on boxing day last week so i can only assume its related to that.
The last emergancy/critical meeting I went to as a MS was about getting the entire circuit to bail out a kingdom hall foreclosure due to an elders fraud...
hopefully yours will be as interesting...

i'm sure some of you chuckled when you read the topic, or wondered if this was sarcasm, but i'm being serious.
yes, witnesses number less than one in a thousand, but that's still millions of people.
people like you and me!
I am a born-in who's just trying to get into the mind of a person who converted, to understand what makes the JW message appealing.
Can't you just siddle up to a convert at the next meeting and just ask them?

i have come to this site for almost a decade.
even though i do not stop by much anymore, i wonder why it has not been upgraded or changed to a more modern format.
it seems like it has basically just been left to what it was upgraded to several years ago.
I like the format just fine
so called modern forum sites are a freakin navagational nightmare.
SIMON! leave it like this...lol

morning all.
if you have read my previous posts you will know of the final stage of my fade is complete, with no longer attending meetings anymore.
with that in mind, do you have any suggestions to how to handle those conversations raised by familiy and friends about leaving?.
I am taking it your wife is still JW?...
If thats the case I think you will always have difficult conversations. In her mind you have betrayed her by cutting the 3 fold cord...and normal transmissions will not resume till you reconnect that jehovah fellow into the marriage.
