i don't like russel crowe and i haven't been to the cinema in quite a while, so no, not gonna see it. i've never been keen on seing biblical movies anyway. apart from the mel gibson jesus movie, which was pretty good.

Why do so many exJWs promote Watchtower lies and cover-ups?
by Fernando inseveral footnotes in the nwt correctly define apostasy as "unfaithfulness".. that is spiritual unfaithfulness/adultery/fornication/prostitution/harlotry.. in scripture the jews were called (spiritual) prostitutes (37 times in ezekiel chapters 16 and 23).. they claimed a relationship with the god of abraham.. yet they lusted after other gods.. and they had frequent wanton spiritual intercourse with these gods.. to cover-up their own lewd apostasy the watctower lyingly redefines the word to mean a dissenter (against the watchtower).. anyone who dissents is labelled an apostate.. ray franz discovered their apostasy.. he dissented.. he exposed their spiritual harlotry in detail (isocf and coc).. they lyingly labelled him an apostate.. and many if not most exjws say this is all fine.. even worse, many exjws proudly wear the label.. to show their proud support of watchtower lies and cover-ups.. how sad....

what's wrong with being an apostate? sounds cool to me. like renegade. with a motorbike, long hair and sunglasses.

Can you prove Jesus existed outside of Bible (so called) evidence?
by punkofnice ini thought i'd done a thread on this before but can't find it.. so.
did jesus actually exist?.
without using the bible i'd like to see obvious proof..

there's more "proof" that robin hood existed than jesus christ. which he didn't.

New World Translation 2013 on EBay
by startingover inthere are several of the new bibles on ebay, but here you can buy the whole box of 32. i don't know if this link will show the original listing, you may have to click on that to see the description.
i wonder where these came from, the description seems a bit strange.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/case-of-32-2013-new-world-translation-of-the-holy-scriptures-watchtower-bible-/261362288068?pt=lh_defaultdomain_0&hash=item3cda6805c4&nma=true&si=cb4ceo6bt8tstei2ousxlhx8hva%253d&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557.

don't they handle the delivery themselves?
anyway, loads of publications are available for a price on ebay. i did once buy a few of the old russel and rutherford books. the text is available for free online and reprints of some are available as well, but i wanted the real thing. as to why someone would pay for it, afaik they are not widely available yet?
concpiracy theory: ejc ventures is a daughter of watchtower inc set up to evaluate new venues of distributing their goods.

I need help in dealing with a toxic family member!!!!
by hoser ini have a close family member who is a pro in using shame to try to make me feel bad.
they are coming to stay at my place soon and the issue of me and mrs hoser not attending/ doing field service will come up no doubt.. i need some advice on how to deal with this because whenever i deal with these relatives they make me feel worthless.
it is probably part because they are jw's and jw's motivate by fear and guilt.. .

i have very zealous JWs in my family, pioneers, some volunteering in exotic countries. when they come to visit, they know this is not a topic to be discusses when i'm around. they ask if they are allowed to say a prayer at the table. they still try to put up all that caleb video crap with my child when i'm not around though. i don't like it but it doesn't do much harm either, once they're gone he always tells me "i don't like jehover".

Who is easier to indoctrinate, men or women?
by kneehighmiah infrom purely anecdotal evidence, i believe women are more indoctrinated on average.
i can openly disagree with the governing body with men and it results in a discussion however, most women i've talked to have immediately shut me down by ending the conversation.
the only person currently shunning me is a woman.

as far as christianity goes, my observation is that women are more religious than men in general. i don't know if this also applies to islam, hinduism or buddhism.

I think my fade has hit a rut. Do I need to grow a pair?
by konceptual99 inso here i am after about 18 months of wake up.
the first 6 months were a rollercoster of feelings as my whole belief system unravelled.
the last year has been more stable but things seem like they are just stalling now.. my wife is aware of many of my feelings although i have held back the fact that i am pretty close to denying all belief in any kind of god.

it sucks, but at one point you'll have to come out with what you actually believe/don't believe. things can start to get out of control from there on, but there's no way around it really.

Sexting, thinking with my little head
by stillin ini had no idea, having come from such a sheltered life, how tantalizing those little text messages could be.
i'm a married man.
my wife has pretty much decided that sex is not for her anymore.
