after knowing ttatt for many years now...i had made up my mind long ago that after 2014, i would no-longer subject myself to the boredom, pain, and frustration of following this cult...the wt...the borg.. so...i made up my mind that since the wtbts/gb makes such a big deal as to the "significance" of the year 1914 and this year 2014, there can be no greater time for me to leave it all behind.
i daydreamed of how awesome and telling it would be if everyone that could ( because i do know that some have personal circumstances of their own, as i did too) would just .... walkout...never to attend/step foot in a kingdom hall from that moment on.. independence day of sorts?
there is too much evidence, too many videos, blogs, books, news reports and lawsuits for me to keep lying to myself.
On October 2, 1914, Charles Taze Russell entered the Bethel dining room. "The Gentile Times have ended, their kings have had their day," he rumbled. "Anyone disappointed? I'm not. Everything is moving right on schedule." [Yearbook, 1975, p.73]
The Fall is the time of year with the most meaning to dubs. Jesus was born, Jesus returned. I say you do this on October 2, 2014, unless you muster the strength to do it now.
i just heard on breaking news about a shooter in kansas city.
he is in his 70s and has a decades long history of antisemitic hatred.
i believe he killed three people near a jewish center.
Jews probably kill about 3 palestinians a minute in Israel. I don't buy into this so called antisemitism nonsense. Read the Talmud or observe the treatment of Arabs and Ethiopians in Israel and you'll see that Jews are literally the most racist people on earth.
Because other people on another continent are violent individuals, that means a shooter in Kansas City is not motivated on the basis of ethnicity?
hey folks.
just need to check in.
due to an injury, i had to start taking some pretty powerful pain killers and stayed on them for about 1 1/2 months until i finally had surgery this past wednesday.
Well it's a good idea to connect with others at this point, even though you are feeling well. Just to be on the safe side.
Glad you're ok. Stay that way!
i ran across a facebook site entitled "ask a jehovah's witness anything.".
it seems to be run by jw elders for jws and studies who are seeking information about "the truth.".
they don't want apostates there or wt bashing.. i wonder if some people here would like to go to that site and ask questions.. of course, it would be easy to say stuff there that would get you banned.. i think the challenge would be to be respectful and see how long they will tolerate genuine questions.. i don't know how much follow-up they will allow.. of course, if you're fading, that's not a place to post.. .
Black propagandists.
I am very annoyed that someone is using my pen name, Beth Shan.
hey folks.

Are you receiving medical advice for this?
Also, are you getting support from your friends in recovery?

i really do have more important things to do this week, so i am postponing my elderette again.
she has not yet contacted me for her "topic of discussion" for the week.
i know she wants time to prepare her speech and presentation.
running into DF'd ones in public. One was at a meeting or seminar with her, and she claimed that "since I did not know the details or story behind what had happened, I did say hello
What on Earth? That's a new one.
She is not supposed to "know the story behind". She is supposed to follow jehoopla's commands unquestioningly.
Saying hello to a DF person is a serious offense. She now shares in his/her sin.
on the back of the memorial invitation is a box containing a strange pattern that is edged by three small boxes that each hold three small black squares within.
beneath the pattern is a series of numbers and letters.. how is this code scanned?.
cc.
Wouldn't it be fun to sticker over them with our own QR code?
if a witness tells you that jesus commanded you to go to the memorial, how would you respond?.
I'd say, "Let's go right now. Wait one moment while I grab an accompaniment to my snack."
Thanks. Yes I've had a lot of hammering but perhaps not the kind to remove some of my personality flaws. And I'd like a rubber mallet that can remove my bluntness. It does not serve me well most times. It gets me into trouble.
