bang
by A Paduan ini have posted here for sometime as 'bang', and in my outrage at the evil that i have witness come from "witnesses", but now i am calming enough that i do not wish to be 'bang', and i have started an account anew as "a paduan".
i will post under this name now, hopefully in a calmer manner - i need to heal a bit.
although i have never met you all, i feel it would be deceitful to not say, so i;m saying, and bang will post no more.. i have no idea if there are rules i have broken, but i think you can't change your username once you establish it, and i just don't want to "bang" anymore.. thepaduan (and i really am a paduan, schooled as such)

watchtower.org and freeminds demonized at study
by heathen inas we were digesting the spiritual food at the bookstudy tonight [yes i actually had to see this for myself] the topic of watchtower.org and freeminds came up from the elder in charge of the study.he flagrantly discredited freeminds with verbal sarcasm and distain and condemned watchtower.org as apostate and totally demonized the website .during this he mentioned he was not abliged to answer any of the questions that may have been raised about the society and beliefs because he felt that jesus didn't always answer the pharisees with what they would have expected like something that would incriminate himself.then the term legal department was brought to the fore.i really couldn't believe this is their reaction to inquiring minds.

Aug KM/Shunning Fightback??
by Latte inis there really no way of getting through to these people??
life is really too short for putting up with this ignorant kind of behaviour.
we, as ex-jws know how theyre thinking works, surely if we are going to have to endure shunning for the remainder of our lives we must do/say something to arouse their clear thinking abilities.

Re-Baptism Question
by Scully inthis is a hypothetical question, so there are no "right" or "wrong" answers.. let's suppose that the wts wanted to test the loyalty of current baptized members.
in particular, the ones who were baptized before the new baptism questions that were introduced in 1985.. what if it became a requirement for people to re-submit to baptism using the new "vows" whenever they modified the baptism questions.
if anyone declined, they would be considered "disassociated", with all the consequences incumbent with that.. how many dubs would follow through??.

Selective Banning
by Elsewhere ini hate to see people get banned or silenced - even the people who are causing trouble.
when it comes to regulations, i could almost be described as libertarian.
because of this i would like to make a proposal - instead of leaving the banning power in the hands of a central authority, i propose that banning be placed in the hands of the individual.

The word, "Jehovah"
by Dia in.
i just read that the name, 'jehovah' was created 700 years ago by a catholic monk who took the vowels from the word, 'lord' and combined them with the letters yhwh (the unpronounceable, biblical term for god).. anyone ever heard this or know a credible source for this info?.
now here's potentially something to share with your next visiting jw!.
