Solid: the romans post???...i think its under fred franz in bible research.BitterTruth said it all to friend anyway!..he was right on the money!

Friend does a lot of doubletalk, he's in deep...I mean, for someone who seems to know a lot about the JW religion and all its dirty past, he seems to be having a very hard time letting go.I cant imagine what that'd be like.The thought of having to let go of something that you held as absolutely True for so long would be very hard emotionally.I can only speak as a potential convert, for which i did have my own doublethink/speak process going.... JW's had a large affect on me... especially when i was 15-17. I took their stuff very seriously then.The first book i read was the Creation book, and it had an almost instant impact on me....it convinced me of Gods existence and within its pages it had the 1914 stuff...saying how JW's how foretold the future and all(a lie of course)...but that was it for me.I started trusting everything they said from then on, they were perfect..how could anyone not be of divine approval who make such great predictions was my thinking...To me the world was going to end for sure!.Yep, they did a great job of making theselves look idyllic and perfect in all that literature i read... The image i had of JW's was that of a Uptopian Dream, but it was just an AD, a PR exercise, an illusion that they were putting out and i got dupped by it... for that i feel kinda guilty, how could i be so f'king dumb!...but it wasn't my fault, heaps of people get dupped way worse than me, dupped my WT propaganda... WT lies.You know in those 2 years (15-17), i remember one incident were i actually preached to my parents all the JW stuff i knew and how the world was finished, i made a big point of the end coming!...they were worried about me to say the least!..Another time i wrote in my English journal for English class how the world was going to end, being really descriptic about it...the teacher took me aside and had a serious word to me....i really didn't care, didn't listen.For me the 2 years between...Well, maybe 3yrs from 15-18, the Dub literature had the screwiest effect on my mind.From 19-21, which is where i started going to a few rare meetings, i also started being more rational in relation to it all.. your intelligence develops as you get older obviously.My first experience at KH i actually didn't like, it wasn't how it was portrayed in their literature all, but because of all that doublethink sh*t...i rationalized the experience and put it down to my "rebelious" or immature nature at the time and just thought with a bit more maturity i would like KH and that it really was a great place like JW's told me ...Basically i was saying to myself, its not the Dub religion thats wrong...its me! which is just Bullshit.By the time i was doing the bible study, i had the intelligence and knowledge to ask some tough questions. The witness who took me for the study had to bring someone else along who knew more about everything.I saw a fair few contradictions in JW thinking, my JW literature was scattered with notes...but with doublethinking again, i just mimimised the contradictions i saw.... i made them out to be red herrings.The same way JW's rationalize blatant error and call it by a more positive name "NEW LIGHT"... sounds so nice dont it, but its all part of the lie, a big fat lie!.I broke off the study after 4 months, but in the back of my mind that sinister doublthink shit was still going on....Despite seeing error, i still believed they were right and divine...but the years after i just pushed all the stuff into the subconscious....it didn't impact me much consciously to any real degree!.A friend actually sparked my re-study of Dubs last year, brought it all back!...He sounded real convinced when we talked last year and was amazed by the 1914 prophecy in particular, like me!. So, i thought it was time to analyse their stuff again...only this time i had the NET and more maturity and intelligence eh!...Dubs didn't stand a chance in hindsight!.The down side to reading all apostate stuff i have, is that its done to me a little more than i would have liked...its certainly destroyed any faith i had in JW's, but its also made me question the existence of God and the bible itself unfortunalty.I can deal with Dubs being BS... but the idea that the bible is nonsense i find a little harder.The thought of there being nothing beyond this world i dont like at all...its a burdon...I liked the cushy idea of Gods existence.Yeah well, I really hate the WT now, i tell you...I dont like the thought of them being out there converting people like me, and impressionable people at that...some are virtual kids like i was!

Seven:Dying at Armageddon?....You really seem like nice person, so do you really think God wants you dead at Armaggeddon?.What have you really done to deserve that?.One article that i remember in the WT was to do with the concept of Hell.WT reasoning was that God is a loving God and wouldn't burn people in Hell for all eternity and therefore Christendom is not the TRUE religion...JW's of course are then completely hypocritical when they then condemn the world and all the people who arn't JW's or have been and have left to armageddon!.Its BS, they are screwing with your mind...dont let 'em!.BitterTruth made an excellent point, it was so simple its amazing people dont see it more often.All LIARS will killed by god, and the DB has LIED for 120years, they DF people on a whim and condemn them to virtual hellfire but then expect people to put complete trust in them as Gods divine organization here on Earth... all this despite being full of Sin themselves...HYPOCRITES.If your going to Hell Seven...wheres the Society going!They'll be dead at Armageddon before you i feel!

seven - your cyber kiss made my day - i think i'm in cyber love - sometimes the fantasy is better than the real thing.

Anyway i meant to ask - with the painting, are you formally trained? reason for asking is - if so i can't imagine the bro's taking too kindly to someone going down that path, you know with the end being so near at all - SolidSender

S2, I minored in Art[painting,sculpting,photograph
y]and majored in a field more appropriateby
JW standards. This turned out to be a wise move because now I have the necessary funds to pursue my art on a full time basis if and when I want to.7
