boring and useless, a waste of valuable time..
I tried to enjoy being in the truth - I did for a while but those feelings didn't last for long. I wanted to have fun, but the problem was that there was no one in my cong to have fun with! (mostly older ones, few young ones my age)
By the way, Blondie... which was the abusive parent - the JW or the non-JW? Just curious...
obviously they feel a window washer job is a job anyone can do anywhere in he world .
and makes great money, yea right.. so what are all those 'approved jobs?'.
add to the list of any and all building skills, cleaning type jobs.
Just wondering how they can cope with their job & being elders at the same time...

Well, in the first place, many JW employees have little skills & are low-paid. If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys
in the creation vs evolution argument:.

someone had to make it.. with creation also someone had to make it.
JW arguement: Thank you for your opinion. God DOES care for us & WANTS to help us. Let me show you a scripture... (insert scripture of choice)

Blondie... could you do all those things without having the constant guilt of "not doing more for Jehovah"?

The smart & enterprising ones start their own business & hire other JW's
My favorite book of the Bible is the Song of Solomon

Meetings, field service, personal study... repeat....
Endless cycle!
so, i was reading combating cult mind control....and i was just thinking: since i've been doing research and learning about the false doctrines of the wtbs and others who are still asleep.
the more i accept that all is not right, the more i see the depression that many in the org.
are going through, the more i see the "human" side of things, the more i compare the average uber dub to the average mainstream christian.....the more i recognize how this cannot be jah's organazation.
Hey Falcon, am in a similar situation as you are & can relate to how you feel. Just discovered TTATT earlier this year & realized that we have been fed with a lot of spiritual bullsh*t! Am trying to fade now before I lose my sanity...
one of my main problems with the watch tower and, more specifically, with the governing body is the level of irresponsibility seen when lives of people are involved and their unapologetical attitude when people suffer due to their absurd policies.. how many people were imprisoned or killed for refusing to perform civil service in exchange for military service?.
we do not know, but it does not matter, because the society does not even apologize for the harm their blinking light caused.. how many people died or contracted illnesses due to the prohibition of vaccines?.
we might never know, but an apology is not on the menu.. how many people died for refusing (or disfellowshipped for accepting) fractions of blood when it was against the rules?.
Any idea how this 250,000 figure was derived? Would really like to know
