The Pain of my Daughter
by LeslieV inmy oldest daughter wrote this to her father to show her pain of his choosing his religion over her.
of course, once he read the letter he told her he has just choosen jehovah.
she wanted me to share this with all of you, and especially if there are any jw's that are lurking on this board, to show what a child feels when religion is more important than your children.. dear daddy;.

Are You Tough, Or Are You A Baby?
by minimus inif you were to describe your temperment, would you say that you are a pretty tough person or a crybaby?
do you wear your heart on your sleeve and tend to be emotional, or do you let things just bounce off of you?

The Garden of Eden
by JNS2 inwhen i started studying with the jws, the matter of whether the genesis account should be taken literally was glossed over quickly.
i think it was one of those "it'll be clearer later on, so let's continue with the study at hand".
it really was an issue for me even from the beginning because my work has always been in the science field.

Buahahahaha!!!!
by Elsewhere in.
the constellation of the seven stars forming the pleiades appears to be the crowning center around which the known systems of the planets revolve.... it has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of jehovah and the place of the highest heavens;..... the constellation of the pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.
but the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when compared to the pleiades in importance, because the pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of god.. j. f. rutherford, reconciliation, 1928, p. 14.. .

Are you still looking for a meaning to life?
by sleepy in.
i havent bothered thinking much about the deeper issues of life recently but why not start again i thought to my self, and i ask the questions what are we and how did we get here?and i ask these in the biggest sense ie, not how did we get here on earth but how and why did the whole show sart in the first place.. its easy to say the universe just happened , we just evolved and our conscious existance is just a freak of nature.but these answers sweep over the main issues which are far deeper.. i learnt to reject ghosts, gods, angels and supernatural phenomena , but my own existance is more perversely strange to a logical mind than any of these, and yet i do exist.. what the hell is it all about i wonder?

what's in a name?
by peacefulpete inperusing the insight books years ago it occured to me how many names of bible charactors seemed prophetic.
that is, their name matched to the story they appeared in.
"achan" for example means "bringer of trouble" and sure enough he was.

" simply put, it is the killing of civilians for religious purposes.
another formidable reason why theocratic governments do not work.
