No, I'm not mad at you (JWs)
by skeeter1 ini got a call today from jw relative, wondering why i haven't answered correspondance.. no, i haven't called or written some jws in my life for a while.
i have chosen to not respond, or not quickly respond, to their inquiries.
yes, i've even blocked some from my social media and e-mail accounts.

my mother has this weird belief that satan blesses his own.
ponder that...
she cant comprehend how 'worldly people' can be happy, she thinks behind the fake happyness and 'fake lives' they are longing for 'true' happyness and the 'truth' will seth them free.
its a very bent view of the world they have.
she had once got into preachy mode with my daughter, and my daughter said to her 'granma, im happy why do you think im not happy?'
my mom replied 'because your having all these health and financial problems'
my daughter just sat there with a blank expression on her face trying to think of how to come back on that one, because we have NEVER not known a jw who isnt struggling major time with health and financial problems! who doesnt have those problems at one time or another?
in fact almost ALL the ones my mom including my mom have such a low income they barely get to go anyplace or do anything and are on food stamps. they all live paycheck to paycheck and half if not more of the ones my mother knows eat anti depressants for breakfast.
now if satan 'blesses his own', why then are jws not getting all the blessing from God? shouldnt they all be blessed with good jobs and cars and good health? and wonderful freinds?
they are simpy jealouse and cant get over the fact that everyone cant think like them. its disturbing, because we all thought it .
I think our minds certainly DO need made over.

after all there needs to be a list, they cant have jws making thier own career choices and
then feeling guilty they have a better job than the next person

this congregtion musnt be too small to have 7 elders, were i live the three congs im familiar with have maybe three or 4 at best, to have 7 elders
that must be a larger congregation. i know who the co is if indeed he is the greek co,
a jw from the local hall,and his wife actually was at my door friday morning,inviting me to the talk today, he just finished vitsiting my moms hall.
I know who would know why that went down but im way out of the loop. but, if i get any gossip from my mom, [not asked for thats for sure,]
ill keep u posted.

my son lives in the nashville tn outskirts, he says its pretty nice, Iwent down to see him and he took me to a cute little town called franklin, just outsde of nashville, that franklin reminds me a little of the franklin in pa. cute walking around town sort of town.
we also went to the opreyland hotel, to see the inside gardens, really cool.
the tax in tn is 10 percent on everything, but they have no income tax, nashville is only a few hrs from louisville. stuff is fairly similar in price as in pa.
there are many new jobs availiable in and around nashville, so its worth a look.

what would happen If?
by sowhatnow ini submitted a letter to the local k hall, explaining that i no longer believe my baptism as a jw is valid, based on my current bible knowlege.
and i wish to be no longer considered a baptised [in this organization], jw, but simply a christain who studies the bible.. and then would continue to attend meetings?.
they couldnt prevent me, its open to the public.. .

Funeral for an atheist
by Stealth in99% of all funerals that i have attended have been the wt version, where they preach about the resurrection into paradise and say little about the person who passed other than they were loyal to jah.
the other 1% catholic for grandparents.. now that i consider myself an atheist, i got to wondering what do atheists plan for when they die?.
if you are a non-believer what are your plans for when you die?

Did you expect all non-Witnesses to die at Armageddon?
by Apognophos inapologies if this has been asked before, but i couldn't find a thread where the focus was specifically this yes-or-no question.
reach back in your memories to when you were at the peak of your faith in the religion, and tell me honestly:.
"did you, personally, believe that non-witnesses would die at armageddon, even if they hadn't gotten to hear the message at all?".

i never accepted that ,
im better than that, id never condemn someone to die for ignorance or imperfection.
