Joy based upon faith is just not enough
by sosoconfused inat the hieght of my jehovah's witnessness like most people it seemed that everything that i found joy in was always bookmarked with the "new system" that i was eagerly awaiting.
if i went on vacation and i was truly enjoying a moment in the sun and total peace the first thought out of someones mouth was always, "just imagine(i am sure everyone knows what is coming next) in the future when everyday will be like this in the new system!".
then there were those anniversary parties when you are so proud someone made 20 or 25 years and the next word out someones mouth inevitably was, "this is a great milestone... but just imagine in the new system when we will say how proud we are we made it to 1 million!!!!..

I think joy in the now is so much better than joy in an imaginary future.

I'm so glad the anointed were 'demoted'.
by a watcher innow they can mingle inconspicuously with the 'other sheep' without being 'made an example of' (for better or worse)..

What came with the demotion? A pay cut? A restriction of superpowers? Disconnection of the hotline to the big guy? What?

Link to Golden Age 1925 prediction- primary evidence of JW cock-up on Archive.org
by Julia Orwell intrying to convince a jw that the wt predicted 1925 is hard because they won't look at anything from 'apostate' sites.
but the american archive organisation is a disinterested organisation who publishes anything ever printed in america online for research and scholarship purposes.
they are not apostates because they publish all religious, political, judicial, legislative etc online for the public to research.

My mother regrets to this day that she didn't force her children to get baptized. I'm amused she thinks she had that kind of power over us.

Move on.
by MsGrowingGirl20 inafter living a life where individualism and almost everything else is wrong, you kinda go crazy with excitement when you finally can be yourself.
i guess that's why i started to run crazy with ideas and had such a burning desire to change myself and to find myself and to figure out who i was and now who i should be.
i wanted to be in stark contrast to the org.

CAN YOU BE AN 'APOSTATE' IF YOU WERE NEVER BAPTIZED?
by Mary inthis subject came up with a friend of mine on facebook the other day.
he was never officially baptized as a witness and i believe he is now a born again christian.. does crooklyn consider someone an 'apostate' if you were never actually a full-fledged member but ended up leaving?
or are you just considered 'bad association'??

Even if you never were some will treat you as if you are. It's been done to me. Heck I'm being shunned right now.

Why doesn't anyone know about the UN thing?
by Comatose ini can't fathom it.
if i asked anyone in the last couple halls i've been in they wouldn't know.
it would seem to me that news like that would race around a circuit and spread like wildfire over the country.

There wasn't any media coverage in the states. There was a little bit of coverage in England. The story broke there in The Guardian.
