WLustGuy...How rude and un-sharing. But you're prob not my kinda guy...unless you are a girl. Of course I might change teams for a cinnamon roll.

TMind...glad you are still with us. I know what you are saying about the kids and how they would feel. It is like the color in the world has been turned off.
CoCo...thank you...it was a fleeting moment...all too freaky but I'm over it.
Outlaw...I forgot that his name was Mutley..he was DD's sidekick right?...with the raspy laugh? Things are better and hopefully improving. When I first left i went thru hell...saw a therapist...took the meds...and suffered greatly. These moments are farther bewtween now...thank Dawg!

anewme...I forgto to mention that you are very correct in that the dubbies only want to hear that "we" are doing poorly, thereby showing we have lost the big guys support...and the fact that your life is going good is only due to the support you get from De Debil! You can't win with the dubs.

FreedomFrog...tissues might be a good idea but come on, you know us "real" guys don't cry...maybe complimentary Visine for when we've "got something in our eyes."
anewme...loved your ocean analogy...that's exactly the feeling. I however would qualify one thing. It would all be allright...the loss of a 21 year marraige...the loss of a great business....I would be able to walk away and never think about the JWs again...IF my only daughter was out and not shunning me. On of the things that keep me going is the fact that my son got out and our relationship has gotten much better. Maybe some day...keep hope alive.

It's really great to hear I'm not the only one.
Auldsoul...a lot of that hits home.
Dawg...i agree, humor can greatly help.
BSofM...yeah it's prob the selection of music they play too. Those bastards will do anything to make an extra buck.
Sparkplug...you may have coined a new phrase..."Starbucks moment."
Seriously, as bad as I have had it I do have hope and work my way thru most things. I took up boxing at the ripe old age of 48 when my marriage was failing and it taught me a lot about never giving up.

Ever have one of those really weird moments? Part melancholy...fleeting and just weird. It's like certain uncontrollable elements come together to create an overwhelming sadness...or maybe it's just the caffeine.
So here I am sitting in a Starbucks, in one of the comfy seats...been here since opening at 6am...when all of sudden I'm reading the post by Uzzah, listening to the Starbucks channel play Georgia on my Mind by Ray Charles...followed by I Left my Heart in San Francisco...fighting back tears to no avail....and everything around me is hazy. This particular SBucks is in a reconditioned 100 year old building in a northern CA college town with the usual activity...people coming and going....a college kid next to me dong work....a homeless guy across the room setting up his "area" unloading his stuff preparing his breakfast...the rain coming down outside...and then it's pretty much all over. It just seems everything hit at once...thank god it's over. I can see how people kill themselves when this type of feeling doesn't go away. I have had about 7 years of bad luck...divorce...lost my faith...lost my daughter to the cult...my $100k+ per year business down the tubes...making zero currently...feelings of worthlessness...get shunned fairly regularly...but I am ok. I have hope.
Please don't respond and try to help me. I really am ok. If I need help I'll ask...I just want to know if you"ve ever had a time when all the uncontrollable elements in the universe have come together to overwhelm you? Tell me about THAT.
Of course it could be the caffeine...or maybe I need to check my testosterone level...typical guy reponse huh? I think I'll blame Uzzah and his gut-wrenching post.

Can someone explain Paradise earth for me.
by Guest with Questions inmy mother has brought up this issue a few times lately and i'm a bit confused.
actually she says she's confused about it and doesn't know what to believe; that what she reads in the bible contradicts what the elders say.. she said that if you die before armegeddon you become an angel, so i assume that they will never marry or have children?
if you and your current spouse both survive armegeddon you continue to be married and have children?.

I know I would
fail the ultimate test at the end because I just cannot serve a God who kills innocent
Asian, Indian, African, & Middle eastern children because their parents were wonderful
people at the moment of Armageddon, but they never accepted literature from
Jehovah's Witnesses, whom they barely heard of. I cannot serve a God who plans to
destroy all those that don't sell Watchtowers.OTWO...This is one of the very things that started me questioning the Wizards behind the curtain. I would ask my 100% Dubbie wife why people would get destroyed when they obviously had not heard the "good news" (folks in China, etc.). She would always respond that God could read hearts and He would know which ones to kill and which ones to save. To which I would reply, "Then why all of the emphasis on PREACHING when all He has to do is read the hearts of everyone?" She would respond that it was a way for us to prove our loyalty to him and I would then say..."Why the hell doesn't He read our hearts too?" She'd get mad and stomp off and call me rebellious or some other WTBS name.
I used to pride myself on being able to argue from a LOGICAL standpoint with worldly people (Why would a god of love burn people forever? Why would god create a beuatiful earth just to bring them up to heaven?, etc.) The I started applying the same LOGIC to WTBS crap. It did not hold up either.... besides the previous question, things like...Why would a loving god make billions of his created subjects suffer extreme hardships for thousands of years because He has a bone to pick with De Debil?
The WTBS only allows their members to apply logic to the "other guy."

Bible Study Student With A Ton of Questions
by AddaGirl ini am both new to this forum and new to the jehovah's witness organization.
i am currently about half way through the 'what does the bible really teach?
" and have been attending both sunday services and ministerial school for 3 months.. my biggest problem is that, being a researcher by nature, "verifying that all things are true," i have also been researching the organization which has stumbled me greatly.

Addagirl....It's very refrshing to see someone who is actually doing their own research about the WTBS, rather than just swallowing their lies. And PLEASE take to heart what Nelly136 mentioned about them undermining your marriage if you decide to quit. They killed my 21 year marriage and there are many others here who have suffered from their cult tactics. Nip it in the bud before they can get a foot hold with anyone in your family. I wish you the best.

Upcoming Elders Schooling
by Questions1 init's no secret that the "organization" has increased it's cia, national security clerance only super-secret attitude in regards to the elder school that is going to be conducted soon.
a few days ago, i had a conversation with an elder who has been in the fold all of his life practically.
in keeping with the conversation style of jws, the gentleman told me that nobody knows what exactly will be taught at the meetings, but in his backdoor conversations with some brothers who seem to be tuned into the bethel's officially, unofficial, communications network, the elders are going to be taught "post-armageddon" teachings.

All this crap is slowly fading away BUT I remember ...I think back in the '80's...when I was trying hard to swallow all the crap and studying with a bunch of different elders, my now Ex wife coming home from a meeting a telling me that a new plan was being implemented. That plan was "studying with new ones NO LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS" because the "time was soooooo short." I think they used the blue book...was that the United in Worship? or a diff one? Can't remember.
All of this proves that hard-core dubs suffer from memory loss. How many times have they said something like this ...and then POOOF it all just fades away and nobody remembers anything. It also proves they are hard-core cult members, following anything the borg says and not investigating anything on their own. See no, Hear no and Say no evil against the Brookly Liars!
