  Hey! So of course several months back I finally found the photos from an old JWDN post, and saved them. Buuuut that computer has since crashed :/

  It had to have been like maybe 4 years ago, or more. A guy down in one of the Carolina's stole a copy of the Flock / Sh? epherd book from his local congregation, that happened to have the handwritten notes in the margins. He posted several pictures of them, and the book.

  does anybody remember or have a link to that post? Or perhaps the photos saved??

  Thanks in advance!! :D

  i have seen it alluded to in various posts that there is a major rift between the service and writing departments at the world hq.

  for those of you in the know, please explain what is going on, who the players are, what turf are they battling over, who is winning, and the consequences of all of this.

  i am intrigued but i know nothing about it.

  I too believe organized religion needs to go away. I don't believe it nourishes our society. And faith/belief, or not having any, isn't something to be held as an insitituion over people.

  I do think community is very important, and that it can be done without judgment.

  Bella, that's also what started me on my spiritual journey was looking at the bible outside of jw glasses. And then learning more about the bible itself and its history that really opened my eyes.

  Dazed, what was it that finally woke you up? (and I answered your PM)

  Great thread peeps :D

  Dazed... oh wow, fresh off the cult wagon eh? well CONGRATS :D

  It's pretty interesting.... I'd say Christianity of another sort, or atheism, seem to be very common after being a Witness. Was your faith/belief in god strong before you got out?

  (I am not Christian or Atheist, fyi. Didn't want to leave an impression that I am motivated by anything past curiosity and good convo)

  Interesting :)

  Did it take you a while to find.... a new modality for your faith?

  I'm guessing you took some time to extract the things that weren't sitting well with you from witness teachings, and developed/found a side of Christianity that works for you?

  Do you believe in God? And if so, how do you define God for yourself?

  Are you a Christian?

  Wow, great comments everybody! I used to spend a lot more time on this site, under a different name. Since coming back to the site I've noticed a lote more newer members, who are still on the inside. So I was, and remain, very interested in your take on the current state of things, and how they relate to you.

  I'm working a book about my experience, which is so much easier said than done. It's nice to hear others feelings and opinions :D

  How are you liking the interaction so far?

  It's been long enough since I've been out, it's like a new witness generation, haha.

  Daaaaaaamn!! Those pussies are still so TERRIFIED of THAT truth getting out! They much prefer their version of "truth."

  Just shows how damaging it actually is for them. It's like the Candace Conti of their governing body history, lol.

  I remember when I brought up Raymond Franz to my father after I was DF'd, lol, I think his sphincter immediately went into overdrive just with the mention of the name. I have loved pissing my father off since I was a teenager, and have done it plenty. I have to say... the expression on his face that day was a unique one.

  Its amazing how much history they have no problem keeping on all the publishers, but get a bit of hq or elder history out in the open and OMG panic!
