from what i can see, it appears that some exwitnesses are either handling life outside the organization pretty well or not well at all.
i wonder if some persons simply, by nature are angry, unhappy persons while others are naturally good, "honest-hearted ones" that simply want to find some measure of happiness.
Im usually happy
then they start about Noah and how gods going to kill everyone
They remind me of the rabbit in alice in wonderland, running around telling everyone how late it is
I would be alot happier if I could tell them what I really think. But I dont
So I guess I could be happier
are you partisan?
and if so, does that make you an uneducated, narrow-minded, polarizing idiot?
can we test this theory?.
1> I like chocolate
2. I like all colours but prefer jeans
3. Death to pedophiles and murderers of children
4. Get out of Iraq in a few years it wont matter. like vietnam all the young soldiers deaths will be for nothing
5.The wathtower is pathetic. There should be a class action lawsuit against them. It matters
6. I vote liberal but does it really make a difference who you vote for?
7.Only the watchtower considers me an apostate. what label would you give a person that reads and believes the watchtower?
would they be considered too damn lazy to use their brains?
even i am pretty shocked at this one... .
my daughter who is 20 years old and df'd for about 2 years now is attending meetings again.
but yesterday she tells me that she didn't feel like going to the meeting and that her mom probably wouldn't even know that she wasn't there.
Its always been the back of the class for the disfellowshiped whereever I attended
hope and endurance in brooklyn.
there may be a few that are aware that hope and endurance are the theme of the current two-day circuit assembly.
last weekend i attended the assembly at the brooklyn assembly hall.
Education: They came down very hard on education. But this was the first time I remember that they gave a reason why. They stated that when a child goes to college the society loses the kid to the world. So the only logical solution is to do all we can to prevent these kids from going to college and getting a career.
Imagine if there is to much education they might figure out 607 is the wrong date
before i start: for the jw who i think will most definately read this thread i want to say this.
if you come knocking on my door after this and ask me personal questions i will have you in court for harrassment faster than you can say "jehovah".
don't risk it.
Good for you Sirona I hope you have a wonderful wedding
to the elders son who may be lurking "hello" come on in and get a real life
new castles recently posted a topic asking if there were any specific comments people made that caused us to question or leave the orgnaization.
this caused me to remember one particiular incident and was wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar.
our service overseer came to our bookstudy and did his routine talk on, "you're not doing enough", "what you are doing isn't quality", "do more, more, more" in the field service.
One of the sisters was there at that bookstudy while her name was read - my mouth was literally hanging open - I couldn't believe what I was hearing - what happened to confidentiality!. Then he read out another older sisters name - this second sister was something like 85 years old at the time and had faithfully devoted more than 50 years of her life - and towards the end when she was sick, bedridden and dying, he points out that she is one of these evil, selfish "inactive" ones. I was literally sick to my stomach
If that isnt a sign of true love of your fellow man I dont know what is.Thats just awful how they treat people
i was with the borg from 1956 to 1976.
24 years later i found ?the outpost?.
all those years i was living to die, one day at a time at armageddon.
I am so suprised by the knowledge of the people here
I to have checked and studied for myself
If i had any doubts before I dont now
I do enjoy sharing what I have learned with the good witnesses in my community
The usual response is that the people on the web are bitter and have a grudge against the society
I have found this not to be true.
I just wish the people here could write the watchtower and awake magazines.I bet they would become best sellers
i have recently been studying some of the theology of the baptists and comparing it to that of the watchtower and i have learned some very interesting things.
by the way, i am new to this forum and i am not sure if it usually discusses topics such as this, but i will be interested to read everyone's responses.
my question is simply:.
ok, these damn elders have pushed it.
they've told my g/f that i don't believe in god and hate and despise him.
they've told her that by disobeying the elders advice, she is disobeying jehovah.
I agree with scully, get a lawyer to write them a letter.
...have they justified the un involvement to you by saying that the wts was only getting information for their magazines, that they weren't "aiding" them in their political work, so the involvement was ok?.
imo, there is no justification for the un invovement.
how do you reason with your family when they defend the actions of the wts?
My husband said there must be a good reason
and the usual satan is on the internet
