After being in the org for 20 years, being regular at every meeting. I must have sung the songs hundreds of times, but I cant sing the first line of any song off by heart.

Why???????

I asked my husband, kids if they could, they also cant.

Can you?

1 Cor 5:8

6your boasting is not good.do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

7clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened.

for christ our passover also has been sacrificed.

I really try to read and understand your posts but alas they are beyond me

The only concilation I have is that someone obviously as intelligent as you, where duped like me. My husband, fairly bright, had a study with two articulate,clever men, was won over cos he couldnt fault their obvious interlect.

Maybe if he had read your posts he would never have "come in" the truth

Carry on the good work, even if divvies like me, dont unerstand a word

Declining Meeting Attendance-CO visit

by TheListener in

so we have our circuit overseer this week.

Mindless Meetings and Bored Dubs

by TheListener in

"we'd like to excuse those that have talks in the second school, and those that would like to listen.".

alright, so i am sitting at the meeting last week and i hear that very typical repetitive announcement.

i start to look around and i realize that it is the same people every week who go to the back to sit in the second school.

vitty

Its truly amazing, no one want to do or give there talk, theres so much else to do!!!!

Then when you get to the hall no one is listening, there so bored to death, then after the meeting you get the same ones saying how good your talk was. They say this to everyone reguardless if it was good or S---T

These are the same ones who answer, every week, on how they where encouraged by this weeks school.

I would fall out with my teenage kids and husband every week cos they would "look bored" or sigh too loud even though I was screaming inside myself

What a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Wearing a Cross wrong?

by AshtonCA in

ever since leaving the org 10+ years ago, i have often wondered about wearing a cross and if it is wrong to do.

i think the jw's see it as an idol, and i do know that the baptists actually pray to the cross because after i left the org, i became baptist for 2 years and they did pray to the big cross on the wall.

i'm not sure i believe that praying to the cross is such a good thing to do, but is wearing one as a symbol of my belief wrong?

vitty

As the JWs dont believe Jesus died on a cross, it shouldnt be a problem, now if you wanted to wear a stake that another thing

by nowino in

wanted to know what anyone here thinks or has studied on enoch and him being "transferred so as not to see death" and whether or not anyone believes john the baptist might have been him reincarnated or sent back in.

also if he was the only one in the bible not to see death.

Didnt he go straight into paradise?

I know it hasnt come yet but as God can jiggle time, I think hes in the new system waiting for us
