NO and NO. I made a conscious decision to check things out and then get out. The leaders in the WT have made a decision to stay in and manipulate reality and the bible to their own ends.
Maybe I was a victim when I was a kid and maybe brother and sister Airhead who never check things out but sit through mind numbing meetings, smiling with nodding heads and open wallets (exactly what the Society wants) are victims. But not me, not now.

The Watchtower Society's true colours are balck with a white stripe down the middle..like a stinky old skunk.
I know if real skunks could read they'd be insulted by this comparison . Sorry. At least thier animal stench comes off alot easier than having the WT efluvium sprayed all over you from before you learned how to say...Do I smell a rat in here.

Why Jesus didnt address the Father as Jehovah?
by Tino insince the jehovah witnesses claim that god must always be referred to jehovah and the fact that others don't do this proves jehovah's witnesses are the only true church, why is god not always identified as jehovah in the bible?
why did jesus not address the father as jehovah?.

He didn't call him Jehovah because he was't a Jehovahs Whitless. And anyway, Jesus" pals didn't even call Jesus - Jesus, instead they used some ancient Hebrew monica that I'm not even going to try and pronounce. (I wonder if JC had a nickname when he was a kid?)
But getting back to the Jehovah / Father thingy....
I know my old dad would be pi**ed of if I started calling him Sid. I think he'd say something like..."Have more bloody respect for your old man." And maybe it's the same with Jesus... calling Jehovah, Jehovah might just get him a thick ear.

What's wrong with the WTBS in a nushell.
by JeffT ini realized the other morning that it was twenty years ago that i started my exit.
at the spring 1988 circuit assembly (i think it was in february or march) they absolutely hammered on the point that higher ed was a waste of time.
armageddon was going to happen any day now and there was no point in preparing for life in system that was about to end.

Condemning your kids to death..ouch, for what? Not going to Joe Hoovers misery fests 25 times a week (hey if they can be dramatic and tell porky pies so can I)
Listen, If JW's were right paradise would have been here a long time ago. All they can respond with is "yes, but" blah blah new light Blah blah worst times blah blah yada yada
Translation: we don't know what the hell we're talking about, but we'll put the fear of god in 'em so they dont scarper.
Not me, I think I'll wander down to the hole...I mean Hall and offer up my but in reply.

Try not to get sucked down into their vacuous vortex of drivel. Imagine... If they collar you maybe give them a vacant look and slowly, at just the right moment say something off the wall like...there's a lot of wether in Africa...followed up by...I have to go now and rub lard on the cat's boil.
Just thinking about this stuff makes me laugh. Imagine the elders expression.
Maybe you and Mr. Hubby can brainstorm other ridiculous replies...Laughter really is the best medicine, especially after 3 or 4 Jack and Cokes.

When a JW, what did you think about human fossils of 1.2 million years
by LouBelle inwhen i was in and documentaries came on the telly about human fossils being found dated 800 000 years old or 1.2 million years old i would always say - they surely must have the dating process wrong (hello - i'm not expert) or would try find a loop whole to make sure that the belief of mans' 6/7000 year existance.. i also used to reason that they were probably a species of apes or forgeries - anything to make myself believe we as jws' were right - i did this without even "thinking" really - like breathing.. i even studied science & biology at school and would also have to come up with ""excuses"" for this or that.
ag what did we know we were only kids, but when you become an adult and have adult reasoning faculties one can't ignore the facts.. so what did you create as a safe bubble when things like this came up?.

I think we all got the carbon dating is wrong talk. It didn't make sense to me,even as a kid that if the dinosaurs got washed away in the flood how come clusters of fosilized eggs have been found intact ? And if there were no polar ice caps before the flood why do we find layers of ice going back tens of thousands of years when sample cores are extracted?
