    True, true.

    I just thought of things that were closest to the feelings of lovebombing at the Kingdom Hall.
    Drinking buddies have their place, too.

    I have visited anti-JW sites for many years. Mainly out of curiosity and entertainment. I am not questioning all of what is claimed as being false but I guess I rather question the importance of the things brought up as such BIG issues and the motive behind all of this antipathy. As regards being able to come back on your own terms or not march to the tune of the local body of elders, I think you can do it. I think many people do. And that is their choice. No, they won't be set up in the congregation as some outstanding example for the rest which I don'[t think they would mind anyways. Surfrusty

    No I don't think your nuts, well I don't know you and you might be but not for wanting to fade back in. I just have two things to say to you, you have a lot of courage and I think you might be very disappointed at what you are going to have to go through so good luck.

    My newfound open mindedness would not allow me to be dominated by small minded elders or other people.

    If you really feel like this, then you'll be in trouble for sure if you do go back.

    Neirther want of friendships or approval of family could ever get me to cross that "threshold" again. Call me an absolutist, but frankly, the WBTS is so full of crap, you'd need a honey bucket the size of Texas to service it. carmel

    It happens to be accurate and correct.

    The WTPPS (Watchtower Pedophile Protection Society) has just paid millions of dollars to buy the silence of some victims of JW pedophiles, some who were ministerial servants, some who were elders. For years SILENTLAMBS has asked the WTPPS to open the records of the thousands of sexual predators within the Jehovah's Witnesses organization, so far to no avail. You paid for some of this settlement with your donations to the "World Wide Work" ahhh, feel the satsfaction! And are you unfamiliar with the issue of AWAKE bearing the title

    "Youths Who Put God First." (May 22, 1994)

    In which the WTCSS (Watchtower Child Sacrifice Society) celebrated the deaths of so many young martyrs? Ahhh... feel so uplifted!

    "Go, then, and learn what this means, ‘I want mercy, and not Sacrifice.’" (Matt. 9:13)

    Who was it that required their followers to sacrifice their children - Jesus or Baal?

    No, my comment was not over the top - what is over the top is the behavior of mind-numbed JW robots who think that talking about these hideous practices is worse than actually doing them.

    Jehovah's Witnesses have precisely the religion they deserve. Full of deceit, suicide, child abuse and child sacrifice, all in a clean and shiny $50 KMart suit. Gotta look good for the ministry!

    ...something about whitewashed tombs comes to mind.
