the guilt borne by former Jehovah's Witnesses
by Nickolas ini have been noticing in various threads that many former jehovah's witnesses in here feel a burden of guilt about having been a jehovah's witness.
mostly talk about how terrible they feel for having imposed wtbts beliefs and strictures on people, especially on people they love.
i am beginning to believe that this is a key trigger for people when they finally get up to the point where they feel they must leave the society.

Cut from the same cloth
by Nickolas inadherents know that they are right and those who believe otherwise are wrong.
black and white.
that there are many such books in existence is problematic insofar as they condemn one another either directly or by inference as heretical - or at best earlier, defective revelations.

Is the Bible an idol?
by Nickolas inthere is one basic distinction i no longer share with those who adhere to one of the many abrahamic religions and that is the holiness of the bible.
it seems to be the common thread in the religious beliefs of half the planet (although muslims dismiss the bible as an "earlier revelation".
sort of like islamic new light taken to a much higher order).

call me naiive .... posting comments to Watchtower YouTube videos
by Nickolas ini am feeling rather foolish.
i've watched a number of youtube videos posted by jehovah's witnesses and afterward have left what i think are thoughtful, non provocative comments, but not agreeing with the video's message.
i started reading the comments left before my own on the last one i watched:.

Headship - question for an elder, former or otherwise
by Nickolas ini will preface this question by stating that i do not subscribe, nor ever have subscribed, to the misogynist beliefs in the bible.
women are not subordinate to men.
period.. scenario: a woman who is married decides that she wants to become a baptised jehovah's witness.

Abortion
by Nickolas inhot topic in here, no doubt.. i've just finished watching richard dawkins' excellent bbc documentary "root of all evil" and thought i'd post a caveat on behalf of atheists like myself.
it was an excellent documentary in almost all respects, but not all atheists are pro abortion, at least not absolutely pro-abortion-no-holds-barred as mr. dawkins appears to be in the film.
mr. dawkins closing lines of the two-part documentary are as follows:.
