just thought some of you might enjoy this, i know it's tough to read, but it always gives me a kick to see how the ininitiated react to the way we lived.. _donnie (4:39:19 pm): growing up i was taught these people were "apostates" and pretty much were demons, crazy shit, i used to have nightmares and crap, it's crazy.

they teach you that the world is gonna end any day, all the people you see that aren't witnesses are dead meat.. donnie (4:39:51 pm): the thing that got me though, was they always said people that just didn;t know would be fine...so my question was...why did you tell me?.

donnie (4:40:17 pm): they are the kings of circular logic.

I guess the last thing they want you to believe in is "YOU"

Good observation.

Who will partake this year/tonight of the wine and bread?

by PinTail in

i remember being told if you partake of the emblems and not be of the anointed the bad things will happen you or at the very least christ will be real made at you.

i have always believed the witness's to be presumptuous on their part of this issue to make such a statement, who are they to say who should and who should not.

does not the bible/christ, say to do this always in remembrance of me, concerning his followers are we not his followers?

Last year, I wanted to sip the wine and take a cracker to put in my mouth. Because of my previous religion experiences, I felt it was wrong to just pass it along when jesus said to 'drink this and eat that'. Where do they get the word passed from anyway? It just supports their 144K/annointed doctrine.

If I were there tonight, I would definately sip and chew before passing it along! They are wrong on that as far as I'm concerned!

Did You Feel Guilty Because You Couldn't "Do More"?

by minimus in

truthseeker made a good thread explaining just how much time we actually do spend in the "cult".

most of us couldn't do everything that was expected.

were you one of the guilty ones??

lonelysheep

I never even got baptized or went into field service and they were still able to constantly make me feel like utter complete shit for not doing enough! My study conductors were always calling me on meeting days ~~encouraging~~ pushing me to go, plus regardless of how cranky my kids were or how tired I was with a newborn, I still had my study because "Armegeddon's right around the corner you know!" I felt like I had to spend all my free time doing something in the name of WT.

God doesn't suck the life out of you, but they sure as hell do.
