The GB and Evil, WHY?
by jst2laws inreading responses to jw72's current post i was reminded of a book i read more than ten years ago that makes it all fit together now.. being one who has hung on for years hoping for major reform within the jw administration i feel i now must accept reality.
why does the gb hang on to such unpopular and harmful teachings such as blood, confidentiality for pedophiles, disfellowshipping, meddling in personal matters, irritating people with their door to door preaching and on and on?.
years ago, i read a book by dr. scott peck entitled people of the lie.

Faith V Works.....my 2 cents..
by TheApostleAK inso what you guys are saying is that i can beat & rape my wife, bash my children, break the law, be a violent drunk, and as long as i have faith that jesus christ was the messiah and have faith in jehovah god, i can still be declared righteous????.
read carefully james 2:14-24. or don't you understand it or don't believe it?.
abraham and rahab were both declared righteous because of their works because they both had faith.. "faith accompanied by works"

Dominance, Control = Kingdom? .....NOT!
by jst2laws innow jehovah is the spirit; and where the spirit of jehovah is, there is freedom 2 corinthians 3:17. i see a common attitude in ex-jws that i at one time would have said see, thats the way apostates are.
it is the mutual resentment of being controlled.
some might find this to be normal considering the abuse of authority most have survived.

Edward Dunlap recording

he said that he believed that pual in the christian times believed that "faith alone was enough to garantee that you where saved.

Is there life after JW?
by chrisauld inhi everyone, i'm new to this whole internet thing, i always thought that the internet was 'wrong', i guess.
i was just wandering if anyone else was finding it hard to get on in life after deciding that jw's are not the 'truth'.
does anyone else feel the struggle to find a substitute?
