The End of Biblical Studies?
by slimboyfat ina while ago i read a book called the end of biblical studies by evangelical turned sceptical academic hector avalos.
i thought it was really interesting perhaps because it mirrors some of the stages i went through as regards how i viewed the bible as i was leaving the witnesses.
at first i still believed the bible was inspired by god but learned to use different methods to interpret it than witness eisegesis.

Can we Die After the Thousand Years and Final Test?
by God_Delusion inhowdy guys and gals,.
i am currently researching some material on what watchtower doctrine says with regards to punishments jehovah candish out to us after the thousand year reign and the final test.. my mother (a brilliant woman) always told me that if a human purposefully went against jehovah after the thousand years and the final test, jehovah would instantly put them to death.
is this true?

I visited relatives who are non JW and they see I have made a positive change since leaving the Borg:)
by andys ini am over here in south dakota on vacation, the last time i saw all my relatives was during my grandmothers funeral which was about 2 years ago, during that time i was still in the borg, yesterday i was visiting all my non jw relatives and they were all shocked that i have changed in a positive way and they all know that i have left the borg, my aunt told me i am alot more happier and have alot more self confidence, i still have family members in the borg my 2 brothers and sister and parents who all shun me on a certain level and also i told all my relatives what i have gone through after leaving, i told them about the shunning, during christmas i called my dad and i was told that i am not allowed over at their house and my dad hung up the phone and didn't even say goodbye also at the time my roommate was listening to the conversation since i had my speakerphone on and she was very shocked about the shunning.. i want to say thankyou to all the people who have helped me mentally out of the borg, all the youtube videos that people have made, plus jwn, if it was not for the internet i would have still been in the borg, i have to say the internet is one of the most greatest thats how i did all my research and totally clearing out my mind, also now i have some new skills, i have learned how to do critical thinking, plus also have learned so much more about the world around me, because i slightly suffer from a form of autism i have been able to work at that more and now understand so much more about people around me and also have made alot of new friends:).

Purgatory and JWN
by wha happened? inwell hello everyone.. after some thought, i realized that i've created a middle world for myself, that is neither jw, nor included in the other 99% of the population.
in fact, living here in jwn is like a cong sometimes.
the rumours, the gossip, the clicks, it's all here, if that's what u want.. what's happened to me is that i'm almost in a jw state of mind with the small group mentality.

Can Satan enter your mind if you stop thinking?
by God_Delusion inas a kid, my brilliant pioneering mother told me that if i stopped thinking, satan and his demons could enter my mind.
am i the only one that was told this useless drivel?
is there a watchtower article that sort of backs this up?.
