Hmmmm..... it's the same with me. I mean, when I understood what the WT is and I could prove that the organization is only an economic enterprise, my mind get closed to all the information coming from the WT. I read the publications but at the same time I'm trying to find some false ideas, the interest of the GB in money, etc. I can't believe now all the words of the "slave".

The only time I go near a Watchtower publication is to read Blondie's review. And that's only because she does such a great job of tearing apart the "(junk) food from the (un)faithful and (in)discreet slave". I just get a queasy, sick, about to barf feeling when I think about that stuff. Good riddance.

I, too, have to agree with Fark's post! (B-a-a-a-a-a-D Farkel :)
I ALWAYS struggled to "do" my Watchtowers for Sunday mornings.....I really hated it with a passion.
Never ONCE did I gather up my markers and mag, to look forward to the "spiritual food" I was about to tackle.......pure drudgery.
But NOW-------when I need to look something up to refute a JW-----I RELISH the goofy doctrines and off-the-wall "bible-based" (tm) BS that I race to find at the "Quotes" site!!!
And I REALLY read the stuff now! LOL>
It all depends on your frame of mind, hahaha!

You know, it just hit me while reading all your responses. THIS is the reason so many ex-jws don't replace the religion in their lives. You have the bible mixed in with the boring WT articles, and the two easily become one. I can't even read the bible without falling asleep. Everything that is associated with the WTS puts me to sleep.
Interesting.

Yep. Any god worth his salt who wanted his children to behave would have a simple book with simple rules and would not allow it to be corrupted. He would have simple rules like:
1) Don't pick boogers in public.
1a) If you do, don't eat them. Especially in public. It looks REALLY tacky, and it is not nutricious anyway.
2) Don't scratch your crotch in public.
3) Don't fornicate in public unless it is ok to do so in your community.
4) If you get pulled over by a cop and the cop asks you how much you've had to drink, and you've had a million beers, don't say to him "I've had a couple of beers." If you've had a million beers, then just tell the truth.
5) Don't fake an orgasm, even if you are a guy.
6) If you are a guy and you are married or heavily commited, don't scratch your balls while you watch a football game. Even though this is in your genes, wives/girlfriends don't like it, and they especially don't like it if you smell your fingers after you do it. You guys know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. I'm God and I hope you are listening. You know what your balls smell like, and you don't need to keep reminding yourself what they smell like. So STOP doing this.
6a) Don't scratch your butt and then sniff your fingers. It smells just as bad as the last thousand times you scratched your butt and sniffed your fingers. Get used to it. It smells bad.
7) Don't tell the same joke twice, even if it has been three months since you told it. The girls didn't like it the first time, and they darn well won't like it the second time. Remember: girls remember EVERYTHING you ever did, except anything good you ever did. Do not forget this. I'm God and I made girls, dudes.
8) Do not pee in the kitchen sink. Even if you think no one is watching. You WILL get caught, and you WILL NEVER be forgiven for this. Even if your are watching your favorite TV program and the bathroom is only ten steps away, go to the bathroom and do your peeing. That is what bathrooms are for.
9) Never pee in the shower. Girls have radar and no matter how hard you try to wash the evidence away, THEY will know. They pee in the shower all the time, though. This is just one of the unfair things about life.
10) Never listen to anything that I say.

I still read many of them -- but I critique them as I go. Do not read the Yearbook now - that is just propaganda
