The Advent Of The 'Net
by Larry inin reading many on-line post by ex-jws since 1997 i have to admit that i never knew there were so many people who were dfd / dad before the computer age.
you guys have my deepest respect.
the reason being - you didnt have a support group like this one to fall back on - you guys were on a solo mission.

The Privilege of Handling the Microphones
by minimus inone of the most unbelievable privileges that a brother could have was being a microphone handler.
elders would discuss brothers for hours and see whether or not we would allow them to mow the lawn or handle a mike.
i always felt that these brothers were doing us a favor but if they didn't get a minimum of 10 hours in per month, they were dog crap and couldn't have any privileges.

Why God......?
by kat7302 inwhy did god plant the tree of knowledge right in the middle of the garden of eden if he didnt want the two people he'd created to eat the fruit?.
why did he, the almighty god who created heaven and earth, lead his creatures into temptation and force them into obedience?
(ironically enough, the lords prayer says.."lead us not into temptation!).
