How do you feel about the Red Letters?
by zophar incurious as to how you feel about the actual words ascribed to jesus in a red letter edition translation bible like niv on biblegateway.com?.
do you feel these teachings are inspired and or beneficial to a productive life?
it seems to me that the actual words of jesus contain real wisdom and show how to live a fulfilling life.

Depression and Faith
by Joe Grundy inthis is only jw (should that be jw.org now?
) related in that it is connected with religious faith which dominates a person's life.
but many similarities, i feel.. i never was a dub, was raised in a 'gospel hall' tradition, have been for many years an agnostic/atheist and am a fairly cynical/suspicious individual as befits an ex-30 year detective.

Associated Press Exposes North Carolina Cult
by zophar inassociated press exposes north carolina cult.
very thorough, and lengthy expose.
child abuse hidden not reported.. "in one case involving two boys, she said she failed to report the incident “because it had all stopped, and they were serving jesus, and i found out about it way later.” she also said that “because of ministerial confidentiality, i don’t have to.”.

Actions speak louder than words
by Sabin ingday to you all.
i have had a thought i would like to share with you.
i cannot remember who it was, but i believe it has been mentioned (maybe paul grundy) that if you wish to null & void your baptism because you were so young when it took place that the wtbts will not allow it if you have been participating in the believes & practises of the religion when you were older & able to make a decision of your own free will.

Judging as bad association now....or at the Great Tribulation....or both!
by zophar inreading posts where some have commented on how their parents, children or other relative have cut off all association with them because they do not agree with the teachings of the wtb&ts.. think about it.
jw's teach that if you aren't one of them, you will be destroyed.
so from a jw perspective, their df or da or inactive adult child or relative or friend, is eventually going to be destroyed and die.. on the other hand, jw's teach that god and christ have not yet started the process of separating the sheep and the goats.
