  EXPLORER-Hatred, Hurt, and Forgiveness

  by BoozeRunner in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  explorer spoke about ex-jw's hating jw's and spoke about forgiveness.. i dug up an article from the 12/1/97 watchtower.. in paragraph 15, under the sub-heading, when it seems impossible to forgive, the article stated this:.

  what, though, if others sin against us in a way that inflicts the deepest of wounds, and yet there is no acknowledgement of the sin, no repentance, and no apology on the part of the offender?

  (proverbs 28:13) the scriptures clearly indicate that jehovah does not forgive unrepentant, hardened sinners.

  Best Advice I NEVER Heeded....

  by BoozeRunner in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having been "born" into the wts, my dad, of course, tried to get me to focus on a "future" in the borg.. when i was choosing a high school to attend, i settled on the new york school of printing, mainly because i had a few jw friends who were attending, and we grew up together.. when i made this choice, my dad suggested that if i wanted to learn about printing, i should set bethel as my goal after school.. i remember his words clearly, "you will learn all you need to know about printing @ bethel", implying that the wts were the real experts.. how happy i am that i never heeded that advice.

  as i see it, i would have learned how to print propaganda and live @ slave wages.. dont get me wrong, i do print propaganda, but i make a pretty good living at it.

  everyone who prints is trying to sell somethng, lol, but why should i live as a pauper selling someone else's crap.. so, any examples of wts career "advice" that you didn't heed, even while a faithful borg drone?.

  i recieved this funny e-mail today, but thought maybe we could have some fun with it on this board.

  i am sure many, especially in the u.s. remember the little golden books series while growing up.

  the e-mail gave alternate titles to some popular books in the series.

  To Amazing-Re:JUSTICE SERIES

  by BoozeRunner in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi amazing,.

  i just played catch-up on your last few installments of justice series.

  ty for sharing your experiences with this board.. your series really highlights several aspects of jw "justice" (for lack of a better term).. 1-inconsistency of how a particular "sin" or indescretion is handled.. 2-lack of training in matters which are highly emotional in nature.. 3-how personality conflicts or a preconcieved idea about a certain person can stand in the way of impartiality.. i look forward to the remainder of your series.. boozy

  my last year in the BORG

  by BoozeRunner in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  although this story is several years old, i wanted to share it here.. after i was df'd, in 1996, under questionable and selective circumstances, i really tried to get back in the swing of things in order to be reinstated.

  i actually travelled from nyc, where i was staying with family for a short time, back to my cong.

  in new jersey, often getting a hotel room solely for the purpose of attending the sunday meeting.. my p.o., tho, basically cringed each time i showed up(guilt, i guess).
