just sick.
various ways of torturing the non-believer or sinner in the good old days.

Gumby brings up a good point. While what happened back in those times is terrible, that doesn't mean all Christians condone such methods. You can't lump all of Christianity based on what a few people did hundreds of years ago.
It's the same type of black and white thinking that disgusted me about the JWs. There are almost always gray areas.
just wanted to introduce myelf and say hi to everyone.
my name is beth, 21 years old from saudi arabia.. college student.
been looking for a cool forum to join and this seems like a nice place.
Hi Beth. You have come to the right place. This forum is a great place to hear other people's stories, and to get encouragement that leaving the JWs was the right thing.
Some people may get a little arguementative, but don't take any offense. It's just their way of showing their love.
want to hear paul thorn sing this song?.

select the mp3 marked "joanie..... blondie
Thanks for posting the lyrics. I didn't really feel like downloading the MP3 on my slow, 56K connection.
That is pretty funny and ironic.
i came across this site - http://e-watchman.com/ - it is the e-watchman, an alleged jw.
i think e-watchman is using crude covert tactics to cause doubt in the minds of jws.
eat manna - it's good for you man na
The link works, but the picture in the thread is broken.

Welcome to the board. Hm, a guy posing as a JW to sow the seeds of doubt. Very clever...
.
i understand that it has pagan religious connections.. there4 should a jw use a surf board or surf electronically in view of surfing pagan origins?
Someday, I'm sure there will be some "new light" which will give the green light to JW surfers.
for those with severe depression, with a potential of suiside!
reconsider!.
i did a recent post and didn?t catch, until recently, a person who posted, that apparently, has suicidal tendencies!
PLEASE SAY: "I?M NOT INFERIOR! I?M NOT INFERIOR! I?M NOT INFERIOR!" (OK , 3 time for emphasis?Watchtower says that?s a Bible rule, GET IT!)
Heh, that felt good. Thanks for your support. I've really felt like I've been able to use this place as a retreat of sorts. It is a good place to hear other people's stories and see that the WT can be conquered.
we all know that we do not know the correct pronunciation of the name of god.
over 6000 times, the tetragrammaton is mentioned in the ot.
yet for some reason, most bibles do not use the name jehovah or yahweh but a few times.
Well, that's why he had the New World Translation printed in this time of the end.
Yes, plus they are giving us our "food at the proper time."

I thought about suicide a few times after I left the borg for good. They are really good about planting doubt, about how if you are not one of them, then you are inferior trash. I guess being an unbaptized publisher falling for a girl who is a pioneer, and an elder's daughter to boot, really took it's toll on me.
Strange thing is, it's as if I was put under a spell. I never had feelings for her until an older lady in the congration hinted that I should "be friends with her." She told me when looking for a marriage mate, not to look too far. But I never really worked up the courage to talk to this girl. I never had any idea how she felt about me, or how the congregation would feel if we were to go out or even talk. This depressed me for a long time, but I've always felt ashamed to tell people about it, because I feel I'm getting so upset over something as trivial as falling for someone.
But I'm glad you made this thread. I feel better already. Actually, I haven't thought about suicide lately. I decided to make the best of life and to enjoy time with my friends and family. I could give a hoot less what those stuck up jerks at my old congregation think of me anymore.
i just had a relitive die in a car accident.
he was not a dubber 100% but went to very few meetings and lived a hard life, drank hard and played hard.
in fact the drinking is what is thought to have caused the crash.
I'm sorry for your loss kilroy. You are right; the JWs do pride themselves on being good, moral people. While they do have good morals, they do let it go to their heads, and I agree that if Jesus were here, he would have a few words with the Brooklyn brothers. Their arrogance and hypocrisy is sickening.
