i wish i could get my family out.
the problem--as i see it--is the fear and loss through shunning is what binds them together.
for me it’s freedom!
you are not bound by an organization’s man made rules and whims.
you don’t have to account to mere men for approval.

this might be confusing to think about.
we know that as you approach the speed of light, time slows down, if you were in a spaceship, time goes by quicker on earth.
we also know that distances between planets and such are measured at 'light years'.
probably meet yourself coming back

and the not-so-good?
being shunned by my daughter and youngest son. so thats several grandchildren ive never met. dont even know some of their names.
but on the positive side thats a small fortune i save at christmas.
making a jw dot org tv presentation?
making a liquor run for his cronies?
in hiding?
wouldnt it be funny if he was removed from the GB--then turned apostate and rocked up on here ?
remember when we were jws and all loved to hear demon stories?
and then there was always that paranoid person that would shut us up "in case they're listening"?
and the resident crazy every congregation seems to have that claims to have been possessed at some point?.
a friend of mine--another xjw--says she is a witch--and takes it all very seriously. well--i dunno about any of that stuff--but she was terrific in the sack.
the longer i’m out the more i feel that disfellowshipping is cruel.
i understand the organization tells parents to not even accept emails or texts from their disfellowshipped children.
while i was a witness they tried to discourage families from association but there was some leeway if it was considered necessary business to interact.
nice one Snuggs
this weeks meeting features a video about maintaining kingdom halls.
it mentions a few times, how kh belong to jehovah, and are dedicated to him.. anybody ever wondered, if they belong to jehovah, how come, they are being sold all the time?
can you give something to jehovah and then take it back?
You can always tell whem jehovah no longer wants your kingdom hall..he stops attending the meetings.
i have just heard from a visitor to the jehovah's witnesses convention for 2019, that they have been told; 'not to form an emotional attachment to their pets, as animals don't have feelings anyway'.. well, that should break a few children hearts!👨👩👧👦 🥴 😭 💔.
my orignal topics are at.
further info:.
i recall--from my early teens--mom was giving a bible study to a woman neighbour, who's cat had recently been run over in the street. the subject of the resurrection came up--and mom told her animals wont be resurrected.
end of yet another bible study---lol.
another kingdom hall sold off in seattle.
this kingdom hall has been around forever but it's in a very desirable location in seattle by green lake so i'm sure there will be lots of $$.
lots of merging of halls here in the puget sound area..
jehovah has left yet another building.
hi all, quick question related to renovating k halls.. my in-laws live in another city and the two congs there are in a ten week process of completely renovating the hall.
the plaster board has been taken off, all the toilets and air cons even the roofing iron and insulation are being pulled out and dumped to be totally replaced.
it seems like overkill to say the least.
sounds like the building is being tarted up a bit to fetch a better price..or maybe it didnt meet some local building regulation that could deter a buyer.
