There was a time when our planet was dominated by organized religion.
That period of time in our history is called the 'Dark Ages'.

hi everyone, its betty .
i was just wondering if theyre are any bethelites who were in brooklyn in the late 90's-2003?
i knew a lot of guys there when i was still in the borg.
nvrgnbk,
I found out about bethelites getting paid to do work during our Linden Blvd and 158th street kh duplex building project
in Jamaica Queens back in 1990-1991.
Worf
if so, did you get a reply?
While battling with the borg in the late 1990's in my situation, I sent letters to various gb members.
All responses came from the evil entity known as the service dept.

hello everyone, i am new here and newly freed from the snare of wtbs.
my sister, also newly freed, said our mom told her at the annual meeting there was a new "understanding" on the generation confusion.
it is now the annointed that will not pass away.. has anyone else heard this?
Hi momcrazy,
Welcome to the forum, glad you escaped the borg, and welcome to the real world.
To:Zack,
You are sooooooooooo right! Just like all religious "leaders", the gb never believed the stuff they put out. Its garbage and they know it. As you pointed out, their bottom line is their lazy, easy lifestyle whch they perpetuate through their bogus publishing company.

i have recently seen one thread about the differences between the witnesses and those other religions.
so i will explain some of my earlier experiences as a catholic and contrast them to the witness experience.. my family was active as a catholic when i was about 6 or so.
we had to salute the flag, and we got to play with other children and go on class trips that also made major markers in life.
WT Wizard,
Excellent commentary!
As I read your comments the memories of all those restrictions on us as jw children flashed right back into my mind.
You are right on target.

c.t.russell began with a personal "purpose" which was to find a way to believe in/worship god while doing away with the beliefs he found to be personally uncomfortable such as hellfire.
he shopped around and cherry picked 2nd adventist views as a foundation.
to this he added pyramidology.
Terry,
Excellent review of the entire watchtower history and its shell game!
You should write a book.

i am on the borderline of becoming atheist/agnostic.
but i still can't figure out the human conscience.
since the conscience is innate to only the human animal, how did that evolve?.
Hello Bluesapphire,
Your question about the human conscience is very interesting. Some information that you might find useful
is contained in "The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown Of the Bicameral Mind" by Dr. Julian Jaynes.
You can find this book in any major bookstore like Barnes & Noble.
Worf
how good of a debater are you?.
i was recently reading some old threads on jwd back in the days when a poster named "youknow" was here.
(2002) he would stand toe-to-toe (or at least he thought he did) with the likes of alanf, refiners fire, seven006, and many others.
I would cut them to shreds by using their own information.
I long for the opportunity.
