  Hey all - we've been waiting for Stepford Wives to come out since we heard of the remake about two years ago - but same here, - we wish it wasn't gonna be a comedy. Were you ever one of those "Stepford JW's"? One of the last elders we had occasion to speak with, told us he is becoming "more robotic in his old age" - duh, get a clue!

  Newbies, Those in Doubt . . . A rant just for you . . .

  by Corvin in

  quote from the e-watchman's forum:

  this "organization", whether or not it is in good standing in jehovah's eyes, has given us some very valuable and treasured accurate biblical knowledge.

  to deny that would be unfair and perhaps throwing spiritual food back in our father's face ...

  Corvin: You mean you don't agree with this comment that I just ran across last night:

  Watchtower of October 1, 1967, pg. 587: "Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible. For this reason the Bible cannot be properly understood without Jehovah's visible organization in mind."

  Shame on you !

  I Threw Out My NWT Today.... I am officially a cult free household.

  did you throw your trash out?

  how long did you keep it?

  stupidly, i felt awful about fading, and went through my huge collection of bound crap, making sure that my name was nowhere on the cult material, and dropped off three large boxes at the kingdumb hall one night.

  I had cleared off much of my bookshelf making room for a VARIETY of "worldly" books - my bookshelf is now so colorful instead of the drab brown of all the years past! When my dad passed away, I tossed much of his bookshelf, but kept some of the older publications - but now I wish I'd kept more. There's times when you would like to look back at some of the ridiculous thoughts proclaimed to be "truth" - I did keep the 1975 Yearbook which is interesting with much about Russell and the early days - also, the Babylon book and Paradise book and others of the oldest stuff. I have come to realize that there could be some benefit to keeping some of it to help others see the falsity of the cult also. So my suggestion is to just pack it away in the basement or garage for a while as you go through the exit process and eventually you'll know what you want to do with it all.

  .......gadgets coming to canada!.

  i've been looking round for a holiday for this summer, and found for virtually the same price i could fly to canada and go backpacking.

  i know i want to go down to niagara falls, but i'm still looking at all the guides to see which other places i want to go to, and working out if i'm best off hiring a car or using the bus/train to get around.

  Hi Gadget:

  I would highly recommend that when in Niagara Falls - you don't miss the chance to go on THE MAID OF THE MIST boat that takes you right out on the water down to the bottom of the falls. It's awesome! Only costs about 8 bucks and you'll love it !

  Have a great trip!

  I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I only even read about it in the paper. I'd never be able to or want to view it - just knowing that he is someone's son - I don't know how a parent could ever get over that having happened - loving my sons as much as I do, I'm devastated for the family as I'm sure all are.

  Do you fear the big A and does the conflict impact your actions?

  by Maverick in

  2. friends

  on another tread this point came up.

  scotsman posted a comment about a certain poster being gay, and i do not know or care if this is true or not, and in conflict over the fear of dying at armageddon for this "sin".

  do any of you fear the big a because of your lifestyle?

  This is a sad thought to share but, two days before my father took his life, I had taken him to the Dr. for his severe depression and anxiety and the Dr. asked him if there was something he was afraid of - he hesitated and then answered, "yes, I fear the end times that Jesus Christ foretold." The war in Iraq had just begun and he felt that was all part of the end coming soon. When I called one old timer brother/ friend of his to tell him of Dad's death, his very first thought was, " gosh, he's gonna miss THE BIG SHOW!"

  As far as me,

  No fear here.

  JW Mental Health

  i found these two references very interesting.....i reflected on the mentality of the witnesses in my old congregations in janesville, wisconsin....i realised they weren't a 'happy' people because they had the "truth", they were in truth happy because of being all medicated (prozac).
