Minimus, EXACTLY, the biggest reason why I finally quit, the Borg......it was NEVER enough.....so, I said, "ENOUGH", and never went back. End of story.

Minimus,
I don't post a whole lot lately, and I didn't realize you had made your break. Good job. Happy for you!

They just don't understand the Zen concept of "less is more".

i'll let the words i typed into my profile here speak.... this is from what? a year or more ago? push anyone too hard and they either fight or flee.. i fled.
gave Jehovah everything i had to give and was always told it wasnt enough. figured there was something wrong with me for all those years till one day i decided all these things that are " required" of me are from MEN not god.

(Matthew 23:23-36) 23 "Woe to YOU, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because YOU give the tenth of the mint and the dill and the cumin, but YOU have disregarded the weightier matters of the Law, namely, justice and mercy and faithfulness. These things it was binding to do, yet not to disregard the other things. 24 Blind guides, who strain out the gnat but gulp down the camel! 25 "Woe to YOU, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because YOU cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of plunder and immoderateness. 26 Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside of it also may become clean. 27 "Woe to YOU, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because YOU resemble whitewashed graves, which outwardly indeed appear beautiful but inside are full of dead men’s bones and of every sort of uncleanness. 28 In that way YOU also, outwardly indeed, appear righteous to men, but inside YOU are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. 29 "Woe to YOU, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because YOU build the graves of the prophets and decorate the memorial tombs of the righteous ones, 30 and YOU say, ‘If we were in the days of our forefathers, we would not be sharers with them in the blood of the prophets.’ 31 Therefore YOU are bearing witness against yourselves that YOU are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Well, then, fill up the measure of YOUR forefathers. 33 "Serpents, offspring of vipers, how are YOU to flee from the judgment of Ge·hen´na? 34 For this reason, here I am sending forth to YOU prophets and wise men and public instructors. Some of them YOU will kill and impale, and some of them YOU will scourge in YOUR synagogues and persecute from city to city; 35 that there may come upon YOU all the righteous blood spilled on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zech·a·ri´ah son of Bar·a·chi´ah, whom YOU murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly I say to YOU, All these things will come upon this generation.

What JWs don't realize is that they ARE a cult. They make fun of "Moonies" for spending teir day selling a flower. What's the difference??

Yet another word I don't like today- effort. Husband uses that to justify abandoning his family, it takes effort to be a jw. However I don't mind the word in a normal non jw way. if that makes any sense.
