  Is it later then you think?

  a exfriend of mine gave his first public talk and that was the title.

  wasn't that the title of an awake in 1969?

  if so, talk about rehashing an old title.

  Stupid Organization!

  a while back, a local witness lost their home in a fire.

  an announcement was made at the meeting that if anybody wanted to contribute, they could do so through their service group overseer.

  my guess is that this arrangement is meant to bring tears of joy to the eyes of the impoverished one, and thankfulness to "jehovah's organization.

  A large percentage, most I have known in the past, do throw the baby out with the bath water; becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy for sure.

  I cannot explain why that happens, but it certainly does in many cases. In these instances, it would've been more beneficial for these types to have remained JWs.

  At the last assy, during the elder's mtg, a collection was taken to cover the expenses of the Org's public speaker rep from Bethel. Elders in my family that attended this meeting informed that well over 3,000 was collected and given to this person. Unreal!

  Oh, our men-worshipping has no bounds. This is why I feel no remorse about not contributing monetarily any longer; if the leadership contributed just half of all the green handshakes received, it would more than make up for my non-contribution.

  "If I wasn't born a JW, I would never have become one."

  by OneEyedJoe in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've seen it mentioned by a few on the forum that at some point there was a realization that had they not been born a jw, they never would've converted no matter how many times the jws tried to study with them.

  this was my experience too, and i'm wondering how universal it is for those that were born-in but eventually left.

  i think i started having this thought (more specifically that if i were not born a jw, i would surely have become an atheist by now) in my late teens.

  I would have been a promising medical scientist. The small part of my extended family that are not JWs, are all in specialized medical fields.

  It enrages me more and more as time passes how I missed out on that life choice thanks to the Org's indoctrination handed down for 3 gens. 😡

  The deep things from the omnisapient God prove him to be unjust, cruel and enraging to me.

  In reading the Bible since finding out the truth about the truth, specially the Old Testament, leads me to believe God is such a jerk! An ass really.

  Well, there are nut jobs everywhere.

  This reaction reminds me of how Fox News watchers that happen to be nutty usually react to all their misinformation and hateful propaganda.

  Idiot!

  this one is worth repeating.

  it was buried in a thread and u've been thinking about it all day.. a quote from mark twain, one of my all-time heroes.. "it's easier to fool a man than it is to convince him that he has been fooled.".

  isn't that the truth....

  It is easy to call on the devil, the difficulty is in watching him arrive.
