Is Satan the good guy?
by blackout inif i were to believe in the bible (which i am starting to totally disbelieve), i like the idea that satan was actually on mans side, and when you look at what he told eve he was actually telling the truth, it was god who lied.
this used to cross my mind as a witness but i would very swiftly dismiss it as demons affecting my thinking.
didn't he say we could rule ourselves if given a fair chance?

This vs That
by animal inwow.. a serious post from animal... who woulda thought..... anyhow, we discussed something last weekend that needs more discussion.
it involves people born into the jw cult versus those that made an adult decision to join it.. my thoughts were:.
anyone not born into the cult have no idea of the mental anguish involved in being brainwashed, from birth, with all the cultisms.

Name Things That Used To Get You Upset And Now Don't
by minimus ini remember people getting very upset because they didn't called on to answer by the watchtower conductor like they felt they should.
some people used to get very upset if they had to work out in service with the same person, twice in a row.
of course, now, it's no big deal.

On the flip side... a question for those not raised as a jw
by TheSilence inokay, someone recently asked if those raised as jws felt they would have gone for it as adults.
my question is for those of you not raised as a jw, what convinced you that it really was "the truth"?
ive often wondered and come upon my own theories as to why people join this religion, but i find that when friends ask me what makes people join i cant really answer in a way that they understand.. jackie

For those of you raise in the "truth" a Question
by obiwan ini myself was raised in the "truth" til i was df'd at the age of 21. i have often wondered that if i were allowed to grow up just as every other child did in the u.s. would i have been interested in looking at the organization and taking interest?
do any of you think and wonder the same thing?

Another dream of returning to the Kingdom Hall
by LyinEyes inlast nite i had another dream, it has been awhile and since consciencely i don't want to go back to the kh, it is a little disturbing.
i dreamed i went back but went to a different congregation , but i saw many of the same people i grew up with , i threw my last pack of cigs away.
i wondered why so many people were afraid to talk to me, but i was glad to see them.
