oh really.
the boy was six year old when he said he was in heaven with the angels.
now he admit it was made up for attention..
I started a thread about the movie Heaven is for Real movie, had no takers though.😥
The movie seemed far fetched and convoluted.
I remember as a kid the sunday school teacher telling me the streets of heaven were paved with gold, and even my tiny tiddly-peep brain thought " WTF!"
i keep reading that jehovah's witnesses are in effect monsters.
i keep reading that they kinda leave chaos and distrust in their wake.
so i simply wondered if anyone had anything nice to say about them?.
I hate to break it to you undercover witness, but blind admiration of JWs, and a superficial knowledge of their teachings does not earn you the honorary title of "undercover witness."
Your naivete is touching in a "talking out of your ass" kind of way.
lol for some reason i was just reminded about the time a circuit overseer told my mom a good method of talking to householders was to say the following things "i don't have too much time to talk to you" or "i'm very busy today so i'll only share this one thought.
" .
i know if i had been at the door i woulda said "if you are so busy why the hell are you wasting time knocking on my door butthead?
I can't count how many times I would be at a door with a sister, who would say:
"I realize you must be busy so I'll be brief...."
and then proceeded to spend at least ten minutes giving a presentation. Longer if the person didn't object.
wow, what a surprise that was!.
i expected a warm welcome, as this was someone i have known for a very long time.. nope, uber disfellowshipped jw.
totally caught me off guard.
Yep, I had a DF person tell me to stop talking to them as it would look bad for them if someone saw us.
It was at the mall and I didn't even realize the person was DF.
hi all.. i have noticed that many of our forum members have sought professional help from counsellors who deal with ones like us who have broken free from high control groups or "cults".. my self esteem has been rocked by recent events in the cong, and while i know ttatt it still has taken my joy in life away quite a bit.. as you all know, mentally i broke free from the org several years ago, but now that i am trying to start making the physical break, i feel really unsettled and nervous.. i wonder if a good counsellor could assist in helping me clarify and sort my feelings and emotions , and provide help to take practical steps to cut all ties with the org?.
if anyone can provide ideas of good counsellors, it would be appreciated.. thanks everyone!.
Hmm interesting. Is this the new direction for treatment of "deleted" servants and elders, do you think?
sorry, i messed up before i could put the right title on this new light from our circuit overseer, his visit show's a great desperation in the organization's mindset, adding more anxiety and guilt to jws who already feel they don't measure up!.
hi, i attended the circuit overseers visit and got really angry because our c.o.
gave information coming from the governing body's chief apologists regarding "meeting attendance" and "the couple who missed one meeting and lost their entire family because they did not get the "411" when armageddon was coming!

So if a drunken, gay, serial killer, bank robber just happens to wander into a KH the day armageddon is announced
he will be saved?
I'm so confused😕
dear fellow janitors/ex-janitors:.
after some nearly 60 years scrubbing away (i started early), whistling a happy tune, i'm turning in my mop and mop bucket.
my body has said, "no more!
Please, please write a book, any subject, I will pre-order now!
All the best with your plans for the future CoCo (always loved)

Hang in there stuck, remember you are a person, not a function, so removal of the title of MS doesn't diminish you.
I hooked up with a counselor when my shit storm happened and it was very helpful to have face time with someone who just allowed me to talk without judging me.
Be strong, and don't let the bastards get to you. Your life, your decision, everyone else will just have to deal!
is the watchtower having problems with meetings for field service?
are field service meetings being viewed as "less" important than other meetings?.
