I have begun to attend a non denominational church. VERY nice people. So different from witnesses. I feel comfortable there. I celebrated the Pastor´s son birthday party. First time for me in 20 years or so to do that.

Rebound religions
by rebel8 ini'm curious how many people here joined the dubs after becoming disillusioned with, or having recently left another religion.. same question for how many joined another church soon after leaving dubbery (and prior to going through a thorough healing process first).. thanks.

Jehovah's Snitches
by Gnosis indo members of a congregation usually snitch on each other for "sinful behaviour" a fellow member is caught doing ?.
like smoking for example.
how common is this snitching in the name of jehovah and is it encouraged by elders or in propaganda works ?.

The End of False Religion Is Near! HAHAHA
by tootired2care inmemories!
i remember a few years back being involved in the campaign work, and having the distinctly awkward experience of having to hand the householders this piece of sh1t tract "the end of false religion is near!"..
i recall the discomfort i had trying to get into a conversation about this nonsense.

I was excited about it. It was around the same time as Deliverance at hand convention. Boy was I wrong. It only took me 3 years later to leave for good.

They should use Cedar´s song about Sparlock. To me that is the only official Sparlock music that should be used.

"Jehovah's organization provides the best education..."
by Gothicus indoesn't it just irritate you to the highest degree when someone makes a remark as stupid as this?
since when did "jehovah's education" ever taught you anything significant other than to be a tool and a slave for the wtb$?.

I applied for a position as head surgeon at Sinai hospital when I was 16 years old. When the interviewer asked where I studied I plopped down 2 bound volumes of the Watchtower and told her I got the best education in the world from these books. She promptly showed me the door. Gee....Did I say something wrong?

Well rather I was pioneering and even coming here to convert all of the wicked apostates... when all of a sudden I was at a meeting it was November 2010 and one article just said ¨Are you doing enough¨? I said Yes god damn it! I AM! In fact my arse is wore out by it. I quit going right then. I started reading here more with an open mind. My login name used to be Bane but I think I was banned as I couldn´t login anymore so I created this new name. I was an ass when I scripturized here before so first thing I did was apologize to everyone here. I had always had a friend who was like a second mother to me but never a witness in my life so I asked her to send me the book Crisis of Conscience. She did. But before then I read a PDF of it thanks to IssacAustin. Blew me away. When the book came I read that too. Started REALLY studying the bible with my wife. Read all of John together. I still think witnesses are right about the Trinity after that read. Now we are reading Romans. Came across Romans 10:2 where I ALWAYS used to use it against other religions as per how I was taught by the society. Now for the first time reading it in context it is DEFINITELY talking about the jews! MIND BLOWN! So my second mother friend is sending me In Search of Christian Freedom in the mail. Cannot wait to see that one! A reviewer on Amazon says that Franz takes off the gloves with this one.
None of my friends have ever visited me here. One day when I am more comfortable I will tell my whole story. I have been typing it for a year now.

what is the dumbest thing you've been reproved/chided/df'd for?
by rather be in hades ini'm a big science nerd and i remember when we were going over the creator book, that the big bang doesn't necessarily prove there is no god.. i said this comment during book study and the conductor's jaw dropped.
everyone was pretty uncomfortable and it didn't help that he ct me off as i was explaining the red shift and mom wasn't too happy about all that.
i had to do a lot of bible research and write some nonsense about how the big bang was not reality or some sort...ugh.. .

FOURTEEN DEAD IN DENVER SHOOTING !
by Phizzy inmore than one gunman seems to be involved in this terrible act.
families were attending mid-night showings of the dark knight movie.. the media should not give publicity tothe names of the perpetrators, they often crave the fame.
give them that fame and others will crave it too.. my thoughts are with the families of all that are affected, a horrific and pointless act that will bring so much pain and sorrow.. edited to say, seems as though it was a lone gunman..

When legislation was passed to outlaw the sale and drinking of alcohol in the USA in the early part of the 20th century, it drove the problem underground and created a perfect foothold for the mob or mafia. The laws against illegal drugs in the USA has created a perfect storm in Mexico, upsetting their their whole country and resulting in the murders of thousands and mayhem to the local populace. Has it done anything to combat illegal drug usage in the US? No, not really. Meth labs are being set up in peoples cars, homes and the like. All the legislation in the world won't stop the problem. If gun ownership were outlawed in the US, it would result in outright gang wars over the importation of illegal weapons, we cannot police our own borders now, keeping out illegal immigrants and illegal drugs! Banning guns does NOTHING!

Great....More CRAP about gun laws! I live in Mexico in CONSTANT fear because we cannot own guns! Yet, all of the gangs HAVE THEM! They are carving what they want out of our lives. Shaking down businesses etc. All because they know we are defenseless! When guns are outlawed then the outlaws have the guns.
