Did you ever experience "Joy"?
by Pork Chop in

one thing that always struck me was the rather dour nature of the organization.

i know people laugh, and at seem to have a good time, at least occasionally.

however, one thing i just haven't seen is a real outpouring of joy, like david dancing like a crazy man or some of the other occassions in the scriptures when it seems like people were almost overcome with joy.. anyone here ever feel real joy as a witness?

many people i have spoke to on this site have found that becoming part of a christian group since leaving the witnesses has been of benefit to them.

i must admit at times i have considered visiting other churches or religions, but have not acted upon it.

but i am curious as to what's out there.. can anyone enlighten me?.

???? For Former Elders re: Comittee meetings

a recent thread made me think.

are there guidelines to judicial comittees that say a minor can not be questioned without a parent or guardian present?

i remember my sister was left alone in the room with 3 older men during her jc when she was only 17. when i was 13 my best friend got in to trouble, and they questioned both her and i alone.

so, yeah.

this isn't a religious topic or even important, but i figured that there were so many other posts about miscillaneous subjects that i'd post my own.

i have a receding hairline, so i shave my head twice a week or so and i usually keep a goatee.

Emails from elders and CO
by Puternut in

yesterday i decided to send an email to all the elders, ministerial servants, co's and do's on my address book.

blondie had posted a series of links to articles relating to the abuse cases in the borg.

rather than emailing the links, which i knew they wouldn't click on, i copied and pasted, about 12 articles to them.

i really must be on here too much - 4000 posts and counting.. supreme one seemed so far away, not that long ago.. now it's a mere 1000 posts away - a drop in a bucket, six months at most, surely.... it seems so long ago, that i protested giving up my light-saber in preference of the fullness of "the force" imbued by the "emperor class".. and now another impending transformation.... to which i say.... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

argggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!.

in bible times the phrase "the son of god" was understood as a claim to the nature of god, not a claim to be a lesser being:.
