"Melita deleted"?
by Chalam inhi jwners,.
if you didn't see the posts in the last hour or two you might wonder what i am referring too.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/186375/1/have-a-very-nasty-krist-mas.
whilst it is up to the board owners and moderators what they do on the board, i cannot understand the logic of deleting this members post's or account.. .

Honesty in Field Service Reports....This week's CBS topic (among others)
by Open mind inthis week's congregation "bible" study.
the drone running the show asked an auxiliary question (tm):.
"so, what could be some of the consequences if people weren't honest in reporting their field service?".

Missing District Conventions
by FreeAtLast1914 inin my case, even after i stopped attending meetings, my family still had contact with me, though it became stranger and more awkward as the months went by.
but it all fell apart rapidly after i missed the dc and my wife went without me (to appease her parents who were in attendance).
she was seriously love-bombed, but it didn't work because the "friends" had already shown their true colors and she was beginning to see there was no real love there.. i didn't use the excuse of work or anxiety.

an exchange today...something that tore at my heart.
by restrangled ini pulled up into my drive with a trunk full of groceries....hoping to avoid the jw's next door.
too late, as i popped my trunk i hear behind me hello.. in general, i try to be nice, i let them introduce themselves and then let them know my mom is a current witness, i was raised one and i am out.. they dropped the witness stuff, and we introduced ourselves.
i always shake hands....as a woman shaking hands i can always tell a sincere man.

I overheard a nauseating conversation . . .
by 144001 ini was in the produce section of a local market, when i happened to overhear the following comment: "we celebrate christ's birth every day of the year, not just on christmas!
" i turned and knew the nature of the source of the comment immediately, judging by the polyester pantsuit and delusional "deer in headlights" look on her face.
her companion replied, "but i like celebrating christmas and don't see anything wrong with it.

Is the Bible Really Scientifically Accurate?
by FreeAtLast1914 inthe society (and others) love to quote job 26:7 where it says that "[god] suspends the earth over nothing" and isaiah 40:22, where it speaks of "the circle of the earth".
they use these scriptures to boast about the incredible scientific accuracy of the bible, proving god had a direct hand in everything written in it.. the trouble is that elsewhere in the scriptures, opposing views are put forth explaining then-unexplainable physics and geographical notions.
one is job 26:11: "the pillars of heaven tremble.

Does anyone find it too painful to read the WTS publications?
by dissed inbeen out 13 years and even for research purposes, i find it way too painful to read this wt stuff.. and why?.
all the painful memories it brings back.
don't misread me, it has nothing to do with a guilty conscience.. it has to do with the real pain, the anger of being ripped off and lied too by the wts, the anger of seing how they have protected child molesters, sacrificed its followers by refusing blood transfusions, the treacherous way we and others were treated by the 'unloving brothers'.
