3W just proves the evil Apostates time and time again. 3W-You will never win this battle of words since we all know how this evil Corporation works, "confuse them with rule after rule" Why can't the Watchtower be honest and straightforward like most other companies and dare I say other religious bodies. Even the Catholic church admits it has a problem and tries to do something about it. We all know here that it is impossible to do this with a Corporation that is more concerned with perception than reality. It is a shame that most JW's will never realize this until it's too late. Such Pharisees-this so-called religion has given us rule after rule to burden everybody's load and does not give them the freedom to think or act within their Christian freedom. Ray Franz was right in saying that we were all "captives of a concept" HAH-such lies!!! Makes me want to puke-and yes, we do have hatred towards this religion that bound us for so many years with guilt and hatred!! 3W-go on with your lie of a life within this religion and try to convince some schmuck that knows nothing about the Watchtower, after all you are a hypocrite by being among the evil apostates. Do you not know you are breaking rule XXX.XXX of the "pay attention to the flock" book. Unless you are Jesus himself, you have no reason to try to be among the evil class!!

Thw Watchtower Dream
by carlitos inin watching the recent protests in this country in regards to the issue of illegal/legal immigration, one gets to read the many stories of success from many of these immigrants that came over from south of the border.
keeping politics aside, one can't but be astounded by the will and desire that many of them have to "make it" here in the usa.
many of them have realized the "american dream".

In watching the recent protests in this country in regards to the issue of illegal/legal immigration, one gets to read the many stories of success from many of these immigrants that came over from south of the border. Keeping politics aside, one can't but be astounded by the will and desire that many of them have to "make it" here in the USA. Many of them have realized the "American Dream". Many of them are business owners, home owners(sometimes owning more than one home), college educated, and even leaders in their local communities. When I compare this to what my JW parents have accomplished, keeping in mind that they also are immigrants south of the border, I see the great disparities in this comparison.
First of all,
my parents own nothing, zilch, "nada", zero, -1. Why? Because they never settled down because they were too busy going were the need was great. They thought that owning a home would somehow show materialism and greediness, because after all, this world was going to end.
Second,
my parents have no retirement plan,ie: savings, 401k, Roth IRA.....They have NOTHING...Do you realize that this means NOTHING...... They are going to work until their 80's and somehow make it on Social Security...DISGUSTING....
Third,
they still have a fear of an almighty Corporation that controls their thoughts and ideas. That's like saying to this corporation, "Thank you, may I have another" DISGUSTING...Psychology at its best and not even a thank you card in return to being faithful and obedient to the almighty <<<<WATCHTOWER>>>>.
This awful and bastardly corporation has destroyed this family of immigrants, everybody on my dad's side. This whole side of the family tree has nothing to show but sighs and lament. Sure, we all have free will, but that is just chicken shit. That's like saying that Hitler's wife, or girlfriends, had free will. Sure they had free will, "but if you leave your going to regret it".
Thanks for letting me vent. -

ahhh...
The "Truth Book", such memories.
Long days preaching the good word on the weekends peddling the book and magazines, going to meetings three times a week, no social life, no sports, no after-school activities, being outcast by others, and still prepare your parts for the meetings.

The day I am mentally unstable and have Alzheimers is the day I am going back. Right now, as long as I'm capable of thinking to myself, wipe my own a**, and able to make a personal choice...like hell if I'm going back.
Right now, I want to live a "normal" life, raise my child as a "normal" human being and make her life and that of my wife's as pleasant as possible. It is absurd that I have to make a distinction between what is normal and what is not, but as we all know, growing up in a JW family, nothing is normal. -

what is the secret to having paragraphs? When I created my post, it was in three a paragraph form, but when I posted, it all went into one full paragraph. yes, that is my daughter celebrating that godforsaken Halloween in a Notre Dame cheerleader outfit. She is the sunshine in both of our lives.
