I get the love of Christ. He fills me with every day and it comforts me to know that his massive love will never leave me and will always fill me.
I still make him wear a condom, though.
a dear member of my congregation gives his testimony from shite muslim to christian.
emery told me once that his father told him that the only reason he's still alive is because of the laws of the u.s. otherwise he'd be required to kill him.. kinda puts puts jw shunning in a "new light"..... somebody always has it worse.
kinda lenghty but well worth it.

so did the 'da society' give these dub internet savvies permission to start a forum?
because last i checked, the ole boys in their oversized brooklyn bunker didn't want their members on the internet unless it was to view their own official websites.
i thought maybe it was an apostate forum until i read their long winded, typically condescending jdub style membership guidelines:.
If you are ever in a JC and the elders tell you that the WT never said the end would be here before 2000, that's a good one to use since the bound volumes are usually in the library you will be interrogated in.
I have to be honest, when the elders in my JC quit letting me ever use a bible, it was like "Mission accomplished. They are now afraid of the bible".
I seem to recall a few years ago, maybe in a KM, a list of changes in books for that year. I could be imagining things.
an answer to this question is subjective to the individual an a posteriori experiene.
however, can there be an a priori experence, one that is objective, outside the bounds of personel experiene, or does it remain subjective?
god speaks to me, through many venus, except audible.
God speaks to me via paycheck. I wouldn't keep making more money and getting raises if he didn't love me, right?
may you all have peace!.
hubby and i happened to catch an episode of "nova" last night.
fascinating stuff.
Perhaps, but I am choosing to call you "Coffy" and since an accurate name doesn't matter, I expect you to respond when I do. Otherwise, I'll be forced to consider you a nasty slang name for the male genital appendage.
No need to act like a b*tch, Shelly. Otherwise we might have be forced to consider you a nasty slang name for the girly bits.
And yes, we all get the point. Science changes and that smacks of "new light" and you consider it untrustworthy. That's how science works. If you don't make mistakes, you're doing it wrong. If you don't realize you made mistakes, you're doing it wrong. If you can't admit your mistakes, you're not doing it at all.
We just trust a process that exposes mistakes and moves towards correcting them more than someone that hears voices in their head. Unlike proceeding from a starting point where you are sure you are right, science asks questions and becomes more right over time. I expect you to dismiss this as "not getting the point", but the reality, voices in your head aside, is that this process is proven to work. Yours isn't.
With regard to Cofty's name, Shelly, if the god in yourr head makes such a big deal out of getting its name right, you could at least show the same respect to Cofty.

So, I wish Mr. Unthank that best as he goes on to fight his battles. It's best to have constructive critisism from friends first, then to get it on the enemy lines. I hope we are not turning into enemy lines.
I am not the enemy lines, but I am an asshole when it comes to telling you if you make sense. Trust me, you would rather your friend tell you that you're being stupid rather than find out in the public spotlight. (I am anot saying you are stupid, skeeter).
9 countries have allready done away with all organized religion recently according to cnn about 2 weeks ago before the show about the occurences in murfreesboro was on. Yes it is very real it is coming.
No, they didn't. And no, it's not.

Actually I said extremists are those who spend hours and hours of time combing through old WT articles looking to cherry-pick a quote out, patch them together with other quotes written across decades, and then use that to make some sort of statement about the WT.
Liar liar pants on fire. You said, exactly "Especially when you have an army of dedicated extremists combing through everything said for the last one hundred years.." Please try to at least realize we can go back and see exactly what you said before you try to say you said something else.
Okay, since we are going to play the game, then I challenge you to produce an article that claims this. (hint you wont, because it is only in one book, that is out of print)
No problem. Jan1 edition of the 1989 Watchtower says "The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century." Note that you will need the actual Watchtower to see this as they changed it for the CD version.
I never said WASBLIND was doing that. I said many ex-JW's claim to have special insight because they are BORN AGAIN. If your going to comment at least keep up with the discussion.
Liar liar pants on fire. you said exactly "I wonder how many things you have claimed in your life? Too bad we dont have it recorded, published, and then thrown to a group who makes their ministry into a nit-picking party." You should also note that I never claimed that you said wasblind was doing that. You are defending yourself against a claim that was never levied against you. Please note that on the forum we can go back and see your exact words, so trying to claim you said something other than what you did is pointless.
You realize your opinion isnt fact right? You strike me as someone who hasnt quite differentiated between the two (another characteristic you share with JW's)
Had I struck you, you would know it. As it stands, the butthurt you are feeling is the WTBS having lied to you over and over and your need to defend it lest you realize your life until now has been a lie.
And in this case, what I said was 100% accurate and not opinion, unless of course, you can demonstrate that a random comment by a poster that leads no one (AFAIK) rises to the same level of critical confirmation that the leaders of a 7 million+ person organization does. Go for it. I dare you.
I don't have the revenge, bitterness, or anger in me to do such a thing.
Like I said, apologists are intellectually lazy. Lazy lazy lazy lazy lazy. Just like the WTBS, you like free labor and for someone else to do the work for you. Too bad, so sad. You fail.

Skeeter1, using Unthanks own website to validate is work is circular reasoning. "Does Unthank know what he is doing? Let's look at his website to see what he say"
ever since i've started posting here regularly, there has been upheaval, threats of leaving and threats of banning by many active contributors.
people have spoken their minds and have been chastised; people have attacked others and threads have been locked.. well, after reading my bible, i've determined the cause of all this.

Barbara, I don't think they were calling you crazy, but rather Steve. They may not have realized that the formatting on your initial post looks nothing like what Steve put together because the software used to run this forum often causes wacky formatting issues that you can't see until AFTER you post. I think it was just a miscommunication and misunderstanding.
With regard to the way you opened the post, I didn't notice it personally, but I can easily see how some would not realize you were attempting to post in the style of a neutral report. That's not criticism, just comment.
As far as the WTBS breaking the law, they routinely do that, but it's not at all clear in this case that they are doing so.
Anyway, thanks for all your hard work and information over the year. Best to you.
Jiyuu2, yes, his efforts are noble, but he is no Ghandi or MLK. True, you have to be in it to win it, but you also have to know how to play and use the right tools. You're not going to win a golf match if you've never played, don't know the rules and are using a spatula to hit.

Have anyone wonder if all this sell off in Brooklyn is a knee jerk reaction to what is happening in Australia! If there is a grain of truth to this WT is going to lose alot of money.
Having all of that liquid cash would make it easier for the state to get a payout. I don't see how selling off property would help them.
I don't think this guy needs to win his case necessarily . . . in fact the 'eccentric' nature of his approach might attract more attention.
But if he simply draws enough attention, then someone in higher places will feel obliged to investigate
