I'm stuck in limbo, what to do?
by conflicted inif you don't know my past i'll paraphrase: basically, i got away from the dubs, but their teachings, dogma, doctine, mindset still have grips on aspects of my life.
i just can't let some of it go.. i was raised in the "truth" and left because i wanted a life of my own.
i didn't have doubts about their teachings, but resolved myself to die at the big a so i could have a real life now.

Anglo- American world power?
by crownboy inas any jw/ ex-jw knows, the society has declared for many years now that we are living during the reign of the final great world power, the anglo-american world power.
however, is it just me or does it seem like we are simply living with the american world power?
if you are to believe the society, wouldn't it mean that the u.s. and britain are equals in the world arena?

Boston Pedophile Priests Revealed
by Valis ini'm sure someone has already posted this, but i've been away so mea culpa just in case.
boston police recieved an anonymous package that contained the names of priests involved in sex abuse claims.
i was pondering whether or not the eventual result for the jws will be the same.

Karate
by Ranchette inthis year i have learned so much and what i keep being taught repeatedly through experience this time instead of what someone tells me, is that much of what the society taught us about the world and many of the things in it is pure nonsence!.
i'm just giving one example for now even though there are many.. my son who is in elementary school has over a period of time expressed a desire to do something extracurricular.. oh the shame!!!.
now out of all the different things out there we chose karate.. jws frown on this because its a form of self defence, a competitive sport and they have labeled it and all martial arts in fact as demonized.. he is learning shotokan karate.he loves it and not one demon or demonized thing has happened so far and never will.. in fact i like what they are teaching my son.. this saying is on the wall of the school or dojo,.

For those who grew up a JW . . .
by Trixie indoes it ever surprise you when you see people that you grew up with as a jw and they're still witnesses?
i went to school with a lot of those jw kids my age and i can't believe that they continue to be jws when they are free of their parents.. i want to say," you're an adult with a high school education or a ged!
haven't you figured the scam out?!".

The Problem of Evil --- The Plot
by LoneWolf inhello, again.. this is the second of three parts.
we're starting to get into the meat of the subject here, and you should find some information on many of the objections that were brought up on the first one, as well as gravedancers thread.. let me reiterate again that these thoughts are not meant to be definative answers.
they are a work in progress and reflect the direction that seems logical and interesting.

WTS is going down: Illusion or Reality?
by Martini inhi folks,.
it appears that the tides are turning upon the wts.
judging by recent child abuse cases, un scandal and blood doctrine change that the wts is being exposed and that the rest of the world is taking note.
