Just visited ex-Mormon site
by Phizzy infor some reason i thought i'd have a look see at an ex-mormon site.
very similar experiences, difficulties, pain etc for them , as us.. one girl made a statement that really stood out, she said that for a born-in , especially one whose family had been in for years , it was like " losing citizenship in a country that contained all of your history, all of your culture, and all of your heritage.".
i think that is so true, we leave and are immigrants in a strange land and culture that we know nothing about, no wonder it takes us a while to adjust..

New Dawkins series on More4 Good !
by Phizzy inrichard dawkins' new series, the first episode was aired last night on the u.k's more4 channel, is entitled "sex, death and the meaning of life".
he doesn't waste a moment on whether god exists or not, but is looking forward to a world without god, and tackles questions such as where will morality come from in this world, is sex somethng to feel guilty about etc etc.
one revealing interview was with steven pinker who shows that as the world becomes more godless it has become a more moral place, and a much safer place to live, things are getting better and better.. unlike the doom and gloom wt pinker has solid evidence to back up his claims.. i don't know if you can catch up with a more4 prog.

Is there now a HUGE gulf between most R&F and the Elders ?
by Phizzy inthis was a question that sprang to my mind as i watched raypub's (eric's) j.c video.
can't wait for the rest of it by the way !.
it was so obvious that all those on that j.c, like i would think 99.9% of elders , put loyalty to the gb/wt before jehovah, jesus the bible or truth.. they are simply company men through and through.. the average r&f jw seems to me to believe they are serving god, and that comes higher on their list than the wt, you can see this by the way they pick and choose which of the myriad rules they obey.

Please help with letter re Child Abuse in the W.T
by Phizzy ini have decided to write a letter to the minister of state for children and families , here in the u.k, (sarah teather m.p).
i wish to outline the ongoing problem with the jehovah's witnesses here shielding paedophiles and sending them to people's doors.. i wish the letter to be accurate 100%, to be concise and to the point, and hopefully worrying enough for the relevant government departments to take some action.. i would appreciate any suggestions as to what to include, what links to add, and how to word it.
thank you..

Wait on Jehovah WTF when has he EVER come up with the goods ?
by Phizzy inwe hear that expression all the time from jehovah's witnesses, "wait on jehovah ", the concept is that as he is all-wise he knows better than us when things should be sorted out.. so it is o.k to let the jehovah's witnesses bumble on with false prophecies, false doctrines, for over 130 years, and to let paedophiles have the freedom to hide within and freely carry out their evil deeds and mental torture on innocent children whose lives are then ruined, all because jehovah's witnesses should not:.
"presumptiously run ahead ", ahead of what ?
the 'bus driven by jehovah that never arrives ?.

FOURTEEN DEAD IN DENVER SHOOTING !
by Phizzy inmore than one gunman seems to be involved in this terrible act.
families were attending mid-night showings of the dark knight movie.. the media should not give publicity tothe names of the perpetrators, they often crave the fame.
give them that fame and others will crave it too.. my thoughts are with the families of all that are affected, a horrific and pointless act that will bring so much pain and sorrow.. edited to say, seems as though it was a lone gunman..

"It's all nonsense of course"
by Phizzy ini was talking with some friends the other day and the subject of scientology was mentioned, and one of their wacky beliefs, one of my friends a sage old boy said : "it's all nonsense of course" the others, and especially me, all nodded in agreement.. i thought then how powerful the use of a phrase like that is, many commercial enterprises have been made or broken by opinions honestly expressed, perhaps we should use the phrase about the wt on every occasion.. "it's all nonsense of course", lets get that in to the public's mind, with regard to the wt/jw scam/religion..

This topic is for Christians......
by Phizzy inthe very first followers of jesus were drawn to him no doubt for a variety of reasons, but stayed mainly because they had taken on board the faith that he held.. they witnessed him and his faith in action, so they came to believe as he did.. long after his death, and the death of most, if not all, of those that knew him, this gradually transformed from holding the same faith as him, to having a belief in him.
this resulted in claims for his divinity etc.
my question to you is, is it not more important that you hold the same faith as he did, rather than the much vaunted belief in him, because you cannot be "in union" with him if your faith differs from his, surely ?.
