i drive by a kh every day, since it's very close to my work route, and i was wondering if anyone else secretly cheers that they don't have to go back into one of those things.

when i see a few cars parked there on the weekday, i am so thankful i don't have to go out and talk that stuff to strangers.

any thoughts?

i am just wondering.

for those of you who were jehovah's witnesses back in the late 70s and early 80s, did any of you ever destroy your records/lps or cassette tapes after one of those talks at an assembly about 'demonic music', 'backwards masking' and so on?

i remember i had some records destroyed, but i couldn't do it.

i don't miss being spoken to like i was someones best friend when i know they wouldn't pee on me if i was on fire.. i don't miss always standing on my own and having no one come and talk to me.. i don't miss having people talk around me about the great time they had at the latest sport/barbecue/dinner get-together which i wasn't invited to because i'm not spiritual enough.. i don't miss not having friends in the truth or out of the truth because i shouldn't mix with wordly people.. i don't miss being so bored for all those hours a week.. i don't miss all the false smiles people give me when i look at them at the hall and the way they look away when i walk past them at the shopping center.. .................. anyone got anymore?

"for many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that jesus christ is come in the flesh.

this is a deceiver and an anti-christ.. if there come any unto you, and bring not his doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him god speed: for he that biddeth him god speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

" 2nd john 7, 10-11. what i want to know is....how many of you heathen bastards are guilty of this awfull practice?.
