Positives of Growing Up JW
by Pig ini dont think any of us are glad we grew up in the org.
but i was thinking about people who get cancer, and if they are lucky enough to beat it often they will say that they were better for the experience.
before they got cancer they were stressed because they had to work extra hours in a shitty job to make ends meet, the kids were nothing but trouble and they spent their lives wishing that time would go faster, that week would be over, that the year would be over.

The JW's are the NEAREST thing to the Truth....EVER!
by punkofnice ini'm sick of this.
when you show a jw the fallacy of their organization (on the rare occasion they don't get the forcefield up in time), they'll retort with something as assinine as.
'yes....but jehovah's witnesses are the nearest thing to the 'truth' there is!'.

For those who do not believe in the Bible: Why don't you?
by Chemical Emotions ini don't believe in the bible either, but i'm just curious as to why others don't.
ridiculous misogyny and mass murder by a petty little god are two reasons for me.

Local Congregations Convention Today...
by TheClarinetist in...and apparently they all wanted to come into my workplace afterwards for ice cream.
don't know why, but when i saw all the convention badges coming at me, i started to feel anxious, light headed, and nauseous.
fortunately, i managed to hide it well enough to finish my shift, but i'm trying to get someone to work for me tomorrow (when they'll probably be back... heard they were also there yesterday).. .

A Critical Examination Of Jehovah's Witnesses Beliefs
by wearewatchingyouman ini ran across this document while searching for info on 607/587 a month or so ago..... i have to say it's the most in depth critical examination of what i like to call "the big 3"(144,000, arianism vs trinitarianism, destruction of jerusalem) i've ever seen.... it's basically from the catholic perspective, but i find that's good for research since that's basically who the borg pits themselves against.... i have to say that for the first time in my life the trinity as a philosophical concept actually makes sense to me... though i don't think i could call it a belief of mine.... .
just a warning it took me a long time to get all the way through... anyways, if you enjoy this type of stuff check it out and let me know what you think!.

hello all... from the new guy...
by wearewatchingyouman ini've been a lurker on this forum and others like it for a while... it's been a great resource for research... i finally decided to join one and found this one to be the best.... born and raised fourth gen. jw... dad's an elder and missionary... we did special needs work when i was a kid... mom was dfed when i was a young teen... usual story for a born in... half family jw half not on both mom and dad's side... we have some high rankers and some annointed in the family tree... brother is @ bethel... i left when i was 18 never baptised never a publisher... just played the role of respectful son until i could fade away as to not jepardize dad's position... a skeptic privately from a young age...blah blah blah.... .
anyways i'm here mostly just to socialize, debate dogma, learn from others and and give loving support.... 30 yr old dude...as far as my current beliefs i'm what you might call an agnostic theist.... anyways that's enough blabbing for now... just wanted to say hey and give a little intro....
