Favorite food at Assemblies
by finnrot ini hated growing up as a witness.
i hated the boring ass meetings where you could hear a pin drop on the floor, i hated going door to door and i hated not being normal like the other kids.. but the one thing i liked was going to the assemlies at the oakland coliseum.
i would wander around and find other kids to goof around with.

Response to RWC's Atheist Questions
by Liberty inhi rwc,.
i'm sure you're a very nice person and i don't want to get into an argument but rather a civil debate.
i just wanted to point out that as ex-jws many of us are a little obsessed with truth (not to be confused with "the truth" tm) and that after being burned by the watchtower society and hating ourselves for being so stupid to have fallen for its bs we have now become highly skeptical of the bible as well.

Scriptures JWs Would Prefer to Ignore
by Room 215 inhere are my nominations for scripture jws would like to see go away.
in all cases they're reduced to the ``yes, but'' defense; i.e.
john 14:2-- ``in my father's house are many mansions.".

The struggle to come.
by refiners fire inwell, i expect this place will explode today.. and, frankly, im only posting this to assist simon.. some people here, think that there should be a position that there are no rules.
and that anybody can post anything they want.
even if it hurts people.in fact, so far, this has been the case.. and some people think that ,because it has been a free for all so far, a precedent has been set, and thus, it cannot be changed.. at the other polar extreme there is the terror of being on a moderated board.

Nimrod - the original freethinker?
by Seeker4 inin an earlier discussion on this board about whether the nwt mistranslated the verse in genesis about nimrod being "a might hunter in opposition to jehovah," there was some really interesting research material presented.
as i read it i began to realize that there seems to be a central reason why nimrod has been presented as one of the truly evil men of human history.. the witnesses emphasize that he was the one who started war, becoming a killer and tyrant.
but in one of the quotes, there is a more likely reason for nimrod being vilified and demonized.
