  My first father-in-law knew Rutherford. I'm sure he'd get a kick out of me realizing it was all bulls**t.

  A problem with my daughter

  by DATA-DOG in

  should i try to dissuade my daughter from being baptized?

  she doesn't seem to be in hurry.

  all her " friends " are already baptized, some since early childhood which is ridiculous in my opinion.

  D-D; Do whatever it takes to keep her from baptizm. She'll understand the real truth as she gets older. It will make her exit so much easier.

  Jesus' parousia started in 1975, Governing Body selected as Faithful and Discreet Slave and Evil Slave dealt with by 1980, and Armageddon arrives in 2015?

  jesus' parousia started in 1975, governing body selected as faithful and discreet slave and evil slave dealt with by 1980, armageddon arrives in 2015?.

  it seems to me that some new light needs to be generated if the governing body (gb) of jws is to be considered as the faithful and discreet slave (fds).. .

  (a) gb needs to be around as an entity when selected by jesus during his parousia.

  hi all, i'm a long time lurker, ready to join in and add my two cents worth now and then!

  i was in the religion for 25 years, out now for 8, along with my husband, daughter, and son!

  i would have to say pretty much the whole time i was in i didnt want to be, pretty much "dreaded" all aspects of it, meetings, service, assemblies, and talks, i hated talks, man o man would i be grouchy the whole week i had a scheduled talk.. we didnt have much family in, but lots of friends and many jw employees, pretty much lost all that, down to just one jw employee left(thats a good thing).

  Great letter Gregg; Wish I had the foresight to write one before leaving. As mentioned by others, they most likely will ignore all points made, but if even one wakes up it's worth the effort. Good Luck.

  Was the Watchtower Right?

  by Christ Alone in

  this question is for atheists and believers.

  what teachings do you think the watchtower got right and why?

  do you still think they are right about the trinity?

  This list is based on what I think makes sense. For the record, this could all be crap. Adam & Eve, a paradise on earth, earthly resurrection, gentile times, Armageddon, some having a heavenly resurrection, Jesus & God being two individuals, Satan, no conscious state after death. Best of all, if you croak before everything hits the fan you're coming back. I look forward to meet all of you in some far future bar I'll have in the Caribbean. MrQuiks of course.

  Next time ask them a question they should have an immediate answer to. Here's one fundamental question. " As you are willing to sacrifice not only your life but the lives of your children in the name of this religion, I'm sure you have concrete evidence, irrefutable proof that yours is the one true religion, approved by Jesus & guided by Jehovah's holy spirit. So tell me, what evidence do you have?" Anyone who gets a chance with this question, please let me know what kind of response you get. I am a well known "apostate" so no one stops by.

  What did you do with all your old publications?

  by Dark Fader in

  2. friends

  so we had spent years building our "theocratic library" of bound volumes, books and other materials.

  personally, i boxed everything, taped the boxes closed and threw them in a dumpster at a construction site.. i did actually feel bad though.

  that was a lot of paper which could have been recycled!.

  I kept a few gems. The rest went into the dumpster. I thought about recycling, but figured the GB crap had already been recycled enough.
