What Does Keeping The Congregation Clean Mean To The Governing Body?
by frankiespeakin innow we all know how the governing body hates any defecters from watchtower corporation's control.
listening, obeying, and be spared alive from jehovah's wrath blah blah blah has become their new mantra sung to a liltingly slowly moving indoctrinatingly booring tune taylor made to dull the mind and not sharpen it.. so uncleaness that the congregation need to be kept clean from are things like people who celibrate birthdays, mother's day, christmas, even if you go to another church and participate the congregation needs to be cleaned from your pesents.. no gay couples, no crossdressers, no masterbaiters(they make sky daddy real sad), definately no children bringing wizzard like toys to the kingdom hall to play with(jehovah considers these an afront to his sovereignty and make him sad, striaght dope from the gb who know what jehovah feeling at all times).
ipads and other electronic devices are ok but might bring in some uncleaness especially if they watching videos of hot looking brothers signing on and on about not touching those private spots and getting all horny and stuff because jehovah don't want to be looking down from heaven and see one of his worshippers masterbaiting because he's been deprived of the experience because he's god and he ain't got no wife nor anybody to work his dingaling, he don't even ease nature at all until he has a relevation climax or something repressing all that sexual energy can make you mean i hear.. and no apostate material or looking up web sites critical of the governing body while at the kindon hall meeting facility.. no idols, visible tattoos, child molesters.. person stealing money from the contribution box, they are very unclean and considered a judas of sorts.. .

How many?...
by tenyearsafter ini couldn't find if this has been discussed in the past, but do we have any idea how many former posters/apostates from this forum have actually returned to the jw's?
i am not talking about those that were reinstated for family reasons, but rather, those that actually had a change of heart and "repented" to become active jw's again?
i can't imagine it is many, but would be curious if anyone knows individuals that have gone back because they truly believed again?

The Christian God is Stupid
by berrygerry ini do not clearly understand mainstream christian ideology, but i think that wt is a variation thereof.. wt teaches that god made adam and eve perfect, but that another one of god's perfect creatures, tricked eve into disobedience, thereby condemning adam, eve, and all of their offspring into a life of misery as a result.
this is because satan out-thought god, and essentially cornered god into this "legal challenge" that god had never foreseen.. that, to me, is one stupid god..

New Urban Legend: Catholic Church to be 'disbanded'
by erbie inthe thread about urban legends got me thinking and i remembered this one which i was told quite recently which definitely deserves its own place.. a few weeks back i was told by an elder that the 'brothers' are saying that the catholic church is to be disbanded with immediate effect by the un because of child abuse coverups which apparently disqualifies it as a 'charitable organization'.. (no siggering!).
he also claimed that it was headline news.. this is of course mad wishful thinking on their part and i was staggered to think that anyone could believe such nonsense but would be very interested to hear if anyone else has heard this.. forgive me if this has already done the rounds but it was news to me..

How things have moved on
by erbie init is very interesting for me to read about people who are working their way through raymond franz's books.
i remember reading them about ten years ago and found them hugely helpful at what was a very difficult time for me.
i did not have free access to the internet back then so those books were the only glimpse of what went on, i mean what really went on, in the watchtower hq.

MTM Experiences
by Momma-Tossed-Me inif witnesses could only feel the freedom to speak their minds, what would they say?.
well, being fully free from the org via my ex-communication really allows me to engage in conversations with members who allow me to do so.. what i have found interesting in every conversation is this common phrase, "you know (looking down their nose at me) the truth.
you know that the information is correct so imperfect organization or not this is jehovah's chosen organization.

Alternative Watchtower
by jonno12225 inheres a thought expereiment.. what do you think the watchtower would be like if it had started in europe instead of america.. in europe at the time of the 1800's you had an interesting period of social, political and scientific change.
womens rights movenment were making strides in bettering their standing in society.
many religious institutions welcomed darwins explanation of evolution over time.. how do you think this back drop would have influenced the religions precursers and founders?
