  When You Were A Witness, Did You Ever Want To Go To Heaven?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since it's very close to the memorial celebration, i thought that this question might be appropriate.

  did you ever feel that you might just want to go to heaven???

  or was your future only an earthly one?

  Witness only schools

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was growing up, there was a "school" in the area, that catered only to witness children.

  there was probably about 60 students, mostly elementary school, but there were a few that were from high school.

  i had a friend that went for a while, and i got to visit a few times.. the teaching was barely enough, and consisted of two or three classrooms.

  many of you already know my real name.i'm the one whose experience was published in the sep 8 1994 awake mag.

  i would like to stress that although i have good reason to be angry and bitter, nothing i say here is said in anger but only in sadness.

  i write this to say that if i could take back many of my words i said in that experience , i would.

  Who Pays The Ferryman....?

  2. beliefs

  french philosopher blaise pascal once noted, "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

  " a case study for this statement can clearly be evidenced by the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.. the gb present themselves as lovers of truth and righteousness who are the only persons on this planet who speak for god.

  this doctrine is at the very core of the beliefs of jehovahs witnesses and is one of the few that cannot be rationalized away by wts apologists.

  2. friends

  after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

  it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.

  i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.
