Do you still shudder at the sight of a Elder?
by kls ini remember so long ago i thought elders were like a god and would always make sure i smiled at them and put on my innocent act in front of them .
even being out of the cult it took me years to finally get it through my head that they are human and not a god as they themselves think.
then one day a jw elder came to my door and at that time i had a newborn baby that i had been up with all night .

I just want to add
For me, it is the watchtower corporation, that is to blame, and, their rules that are not even in the bible.
It is also the hard core elder body, the company men, who make life in the cong, as bad as it gets.

Dustin:
WOW, ... In my area of Wisconsin I knew a young man in our cong, .. About Your Age, .. who had been doing the same exact thing that you are doing now. He stopped going about the year 2000
I would read many of his song lyrics, filled with anger and hatred for everthing he once believed as spritual.
I have lost contact with him, for some time now. When I saw your pic with the plaid jacket I was shocked how much like him you look.
Dustin, I wish you well. I hope you get all the anger out.

Why did you chose to join a cult?
by Gill inmany of us here were born into the jw cult and so had no real choice in life until we were much older.. however, those of you who actually chose to join the cult and be a jw, can you explain 'why' you wanted to believe 'the troof' that they claimed to have.
didn't it appear too good to be true?.
why would you want to put those kinds of restraints on your life and your mind?

I never felt better. Fading is fine. No one really calls. I if they do, I always say that my life is the best I ever lived.
They don't want me back anyway.

Gill: Good question
Blondie: Thank you for the correct answer.
Some of us were taught from young on, this is the way. So we went that way. Anyway, ... that is the way it WAS for me.

Best Service Meeting Item - ever !
by BluesBrother inthe listeners thread about service meetings got me to think, ok , so what was the best service meeting item you ever heard?
we all know and remember the bad ones, but with all our collective years of seat warming on a thurs/fri night, there must have been some good ones.. i nominate the item a few years ago on the dangers of the internet.
it made it sound so exciting that i went off down the public library to find out how to use this new invention - the rest is history ....
