(keeping in mind that theres no one thats gonna claim my body to bury it anyway when the time comes).

i want " if you could read my mind" by gordon lightfoot.

Suitable careers for JW children to aim for!

by Gill in

the october the 1st watchtower has interesting views on the education of jw children.. page 30, in which one jw explains how he ended up in ft service says:.

'we did not associate with our school mates but only with those in the congregation who had good spiritual habits.'.

interesting as this shows judgmentalism and criticism 'even' in the jw congregation.. then on page 31 it explains how parents must offer their children, as early as possible, proper guidance in their choice of school subjects and vocation goals.. 'rather than choose academic subjects that are geared toward a university education, parents and children need to consider courses that are useful in pursuing a theocratic career.'.

Hey,guess what,how old were you when your personal fog lifted.I read your first posts about how you were 26 and doing everythin"short of being an elder".I was 18 when I left,and my family is the only reason I still talk about this cult.So while you were kissing co's ass and being a wannabe elder,I was living my happy little life outside of cult control,so who's really smarter,You and all your fancy rhetoric and circular thinking,or me ,a "miserable ex JW" who got out alot sooner than you did.

I was told not to go to school--dropped out in tenth grade

I was "encouraged" on how I should wear my hair.

I was not allowed because of the cult to enjoy many social events I would have liked to.

Have you ever heard the gay ikllustration that the CO's give.It go's a little something like this"you wouldn't trade in the truth for a million dollars would you?,but I bet some of you would for time and a half at work on a sunday."

I was taught to move to crooklyn and waste my life for 40 $ a month.

I have 3 sisters and a brother,me and my brother diodn;t finish high school,because no one gave a shit.2 of my sisters that are out of school have not been encouraged to go to colledge.

My older sister got married to,you guessed it,a carpet cleaner when she was 19.Thanks borg!

My overgeneralisations are my reality asshole.

Oh ,and my sister is now divorcing her mentally abusive ,brainwashed husband.

They are a hypocritical cult who don't believe the same thing from city to city.

I enjoyed "satanic attack".Reminded me of being a little innocent kid afraid of demons because I had an aerosmith tape.

A group that has influenced me and my attitude alot is THE BAND.You canadiens probly heard of them.They have a song called "tears of rage".The lyrics really hit me emotionally.The song was written by bob dylan.

Who are you now?

all of us have been tit-sucking jehovahs witnesses at one point in our lives, and we have been deceptively forced to give up our very own individuality to become one group united under, supposedly, god's only earthly organization.

just maybe, maybe throughout your much hated dull life, as a brainless witness, you weren't allowed to experience the necessities of life, such as satan's blaring rock and roll that you oh so always wanted to listen to, dressing up in those flaming hot name brand clothes lines, being part of a sports team, knowing what true bonding friendship and competition really meant, or chosing those friends you know would never turn you in for having that nightly drink at the club.

now that we know the real truth, and the damage has been done, what have you done to repair it?

Why Is Love Among Jehovah's Witnesses Now Only Third Rate?

years ago, in the watchtower's truth book, the chapter called "how to identify the true .

religion" offered a set of reasons for thinking that jw's had the "truth".. the very first "identifying mark " of "true religion" was stated as having "love among.

themselves" as jesus plainly said in john 13: 35 : "by this all will know that you are my.

As is every other emotion we have as humans.What is love,hate ,sadness to me might not be the same to somebody else.Logansrun,you are just trying to be smart.We all have a general idea of what love is and what the bible,the basis of all this crap ,means when it says love god and your neighbor.
