hello... i've been away from here for awhile, and probably will not be getting very involved here again, but some things have got me wondering lately.

i don't know if you know's still around, but, if so, i have a couple of questions.. you know: correct me if i'm wrong, but i seem to remember your saying that you'd read ray franz' book "crisis of conscience.

" i'm not going to debate the propriety of your doing so, as one of jehovah's witnesses, but i'm very interested in what you think of his reasoning on various points.

astrology... observations?
by SpiderMonkey in
1. jw
2. friends
recent events have got me wondering... after my last big relationship, i "swore off" a certain catagory of astrological signs (signs are divided into earth, air, fire and water... i realized that all of my major relationships have been with a certain sign catagory, and thought that that was a problem)... lately, though, i have had cause to reconsider.. i'm just curious; have y'all had any observations about specific signs, or catagories - in other words, what they're like?

if they're good, bad, or ugly?

i'm a gemini w/ scorpio rising (wouldn't mind hearing what folks think about that; i know the standard profile well enough, but personal experiences and insights would be fun).

why dogma?

2. beliefs
i think the title is self-explanatory for the most part, but to clarify: i'm not talking about jw dogma.

i mean, why do so many, even ex-jw, settle on dogma?

why use one "holy book" to define your spirituality?

XJW Pagans
by SpiderMonkey in
1. jw
2. friends
to spice, moe, gsx, & many others i've met here, i have a question: whether xjw or just associated w/ jw's at some point in time, those who now consider themselves pagan: do you have a link to a pagan site that offers good chat & board services like this one does?

i'm getting to a point where i frequently find myself reading some very valid ideas against jw's and basically posting "yeah.

" i'm not interested in leaving this board entirely, but i am interested in finding a board that suits my current beliefs & interests more fully... i want to accentuate the positives more so than the negatives in other words.... this is in no way meant as a slam against this board; this board has helped me as nothing else ever has.

.

i don't why i'm making a post of this, just because i guess... my dog died this morning, run over by a car... she saw a bunch of kids on the other side of a busy street, slipped out of the collar and ran for it... she didn't listen to me & she was dead before i even got to her :(.

in loving memory of tequila "mockingbird" casey, c. 1994-2002, the most beautiful, loving dog ever...

2. experiences
along the lines of joy's post on friends, i wanted to add my own 2 cents in praise of this board!

to put it all in a nutshell, i learned how to *drink* when i was at bethel, around late 89 to early 93. was disfellowshipped sometime just before thanksgiving 94, and have continued to be a heavy drinker ever since.

about a month & a half ago i discovered this board, and last sunday i quit drinking .
