  Our American Flag

  by Vienna in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  doesn't it feel good to not be a jw at this point in history?

  through the fear of the last few days, i do have comfort from scripture about my eternal salvation through jesus (as a witness you never felt secure with god--don't miss a meeting or field service for long or you're out), but also because my husband and i can display our american flag on our cars and in front of our house to support our country!.

  as americans, we will not stand for terrorism and i'm proud to be in this country.

  Tattoo..

  I have been inactive for 12 years now
  and have no plans on returning soon.

  I still have many freinds in the "truth"
  and they remain in touch with me and
  respect my way of life now.

  When I left Bethal, it was an elder
  who hired me into a reputable firm
  and gave me the break I needed at the
  time.

  I have asked him and in my will that he
  act as the Minister in the event of
  serious illness or an early death.

  When people ask me "what religion are you?"
  I state thet I no longer associate with
  religion, but that if I were forced to
  declare one, i would say "Jehovah's Witness"
  without hesitation.

  Why?

  Well. I was born into it.
  Believed it at the time.
  And "took" from it many things
  that now mold me as a person today.

  If the Watchtower ever reformed itself
  I would consider returning.

  Like I tell the Brothers and Sisters
  when I bump into them..

  The Society is made up of many peoples
  with alot to offer and learn as well.
  It is just to bad that the policies
  push people away. If all of the ex-witnesses
  were still associated with the witnesses now, it would
  be a larger force in the world today and could
  do alot in the way of outreach and charity.

  If you choose to become a Witness , you can
  always choose to leave. But many had to endure
  until the age of 18 to leave their parents
  religion.

  I stayed until I was 22. I served at Bethel
  and was saddened by the waste of resources
  and talent that are wasted om such a sort sighted
  purpose and goal.

  The Watachtower could become an institution like
  Harvard or the Smithsonian.

  But it's shortsightedness and and lack of
  "being real" in today's world prevent it
  to progress to a world class entity
  with the respect of its fellow citizens
  of the world.

  That is why I left, but it pains me
  to see that all of my energy and youth
  did not make much of a lasting impression
  as the Watchtower goes thru members like
  a dirty undershirt.

  Keep asking questions so that you may
  make an informed choice about your involvement
  with the local congregation.

  P.S. Everyone wants the world to be a better
  place, but we need to take advantage
  of the moment that had been given us
  to make it better.

  The "fine art" on your body can
  serve as a vehicle for the demons
  as well.

  Wait until the demons harass you when you
  are alone at night.

  Be sure to avoid the garage sells as well.

  The three statments above are absurd
  and are typical of "Witness Speak".

  by tattoogrl333 in

  ok this has nothing to do with being a jw or anything of that nature but it is important to me and i need some help:.

  here goes i have been drinking rum and coke (bacardi) since i can remember and finally realized that maybe it is contributing to my severly harsh hangovers.

  so i went on a quest in search of a new drink.

  Drink 2 large glasses of water
  before bedtime and get 8
  hours of sleep.

  Remember though, that hard drinks are
  poison to the body.

  If you hangovers persist,
  you may want to quit drinking
  and smoke pot...

  Guilty as Charged... I confess....

  by AGuest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to the "inquisition" of these days... that is on jw.com... may you have peace.. because there seems to be a 'movement' to 'expose' me as false, and judge and condemn me as a 'jezebel' and more... i would hereby like to confess my 'sins' and 'errors'... and repent my actions/inactions... before you... and all onlookers... if you will permit me.

  thank you.. i confess... that i am a servant to the household of god, israel, and a slave of christ, by means of an anointing with holy spirit, which i received directly from the person of my lord, the son of god, jaheshua mischajah.. i confess... that i have been given the 'free gift' of holy spirit, in the form of hearing spirits, discerning inspired utterances, so that i hear not only the voice of my lord, the but voices of various spirits, so i am able to relate to others that hear, as well as those that do not hear... what the spirit says to the congregation.. i confess... that i have been freely given other 'gifts' of that same spirit, which gifts manifest themselves in me in various ways and which gifts i have not attempted to hide from anyone... man... or god.. i confess... that i have a love for my father and my lord to such an extent that i would subject myself to public humiliation, before all men, bear reproach now... and endure a 'torture stake' for the glory that awaits me, which glory i have nought but faith in, because i have heard of its certainty... and received my 'sealing'... directly from the one the promised such glory, my lord, the son of god, jaheshua mishajah.. i confess... that i have agreed to 'repay' my lord for his love and kindness... the undeserved kindness granted me... in the only way that i can... by obeying his voice and going to the household of god, those that go with them, and any others who are 'thirsting' and 'wishing'... and telling them that the same gifts and glories undeservedly afforded me... can be granted to them as well.. i confess... that as a true servant to the household of god, by means of undeserved kindness, i have been granted to know the fruit of my father's spirit that is love... for all of mankind... including my enemies.

  a love such it compels me to tell what i hear to those who wish to hear of it, even at risk to my own spirit... whether they hear... or they refrain.. i confess... that contrary to what is 'usual' among so-called professed 'christians' and 'anointed', i have not sought to compel people to follow me, or to join any church, religion or other institution of 'theology', and will not, but instead, have asked and spoken only that any who 'hear'... and any who wish to hear... hear... and follow the voice of the fine shepherd, my lord, the son of god, jaheshua mischajah.... i repent... that i am but mere flesh and blood, a woman, a 'foolish thing' and 'weaker vessel', so that i do not always have the strength to stand against the opposition facing me, although i have wished no harm, no evil, no malice toward any.. i repent... that at times my forehead is not as hard as flint, and my heart is not so protected so as not to feel fright when facing off with my adversary and his agents.. i repent... that i do not possess in me the gifts of the spirit that grant miracles, such that those who do not believe can have the 'scales' removed from their eyes so as to see the things 'unseen', things almost too glorious for me to utter... with their own eyes... rather than simply ask for and be granted the 'free gift' of holy spirit and see for themselves.... i repent... that i do not possess in me the 'perfect' love that would move me to not feel hurt and pain when derided and ridiculed, but be able to say to my father, as did my lord, "forgive them father, for they do not know what they do.

  For those questioning the F&DS

  by ArgCampeon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an interesting scripture reminds us to be careful of those that question every good thing that the f&ds does:.

  titus 1:10-16 .

  "10 for there are many unruly men, profitless talkers, and deceivers of the mind, especially those men who adhere to the circumcision.

  FATAL ASSUMPTIONS

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jesus further related in the 15th chapter of john: "nevertheless, i have spoken these things to you that, when the hour for them arrives, you may remember i told them to you.

  these things, however, i did not tell you at first, because i was with you.

  so, the point is that jesus has not told his anointed ones certain things yet because the hour for them has not arrived.

  Alan..

  Your post seems to have touched a nerve
  in You Know's little brain.

  Of course, You Know must "defend" the
  truth as he is Jehovah's special one.

  The GB could use this guy to do its dirty
  deeds.

  I really think You Know is Demonic, as
  his posts demonstrate.

  WATCHING THE WORLD GO DOWN

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "all things are continuing exactly the same as from creation's beginning" is the thinking attributed to those ridiculers of christ's presence.

  because the sign of christ's invisible presence must be accepted on faith and faith is not a possession of all people, faithless ones are willfully blinded to the evidence that the system is nearing its hour of judgment.

  in this the 2nd week of august 2001, the evidence steadily mounts that apostate ridiculers of jehovah's word are very badly mistaken and about to be spanked with a very large paddle.

  Questions for You Know.

  Do you own stocks or bonds?

  Do you invest in a 401K?

  Are you even concerned about your retirement
  and the financing of it?

  I once saw a bumper sticker that read..

  "Keep working, millions on welfare rely on you."

  The welfare roll will soon add some 6 million
  unless you JW's wake up and smell the money.

  Please respond You Know.

  Happy positive lives after leaving

  by tergiversator in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in response to the commonly-repeated myth that all ex-witnesses are bitter angry people with nothing better to do then attack their former religion, i thought we should set the record straight.

  where are you in life right now?

  are you doing things that you always wanted to do, traveling to interesting places in your free time, making great new friends, generally enjoying life?

  The best thing about life after the WT is that you
  find happiness that far exceeds that found with
  Jehovah Witnesses.
  You also do the following..

  Get braces for your kid. (I needed them, but dad said,
  "the new system will provide")
  Keep your home you own. ( Mom and Dad sold in '74 )

  Make a decent living and
  enjoy the work too. ( Dad still cleans toilets for
  peanuts )

  Pursue a degree and learn
  some great stuff. ( This is something Dad should
  do. He is smart and should
  share this with others and
  perhaps learn in return )

  Laugh at the next JW at
  your door. ( Now I know why I was laughed
  at when I went door to door )

  Smoke Pot ( don't tell Dad and Mom )

  Do anything you please as
  a grown up. ( something the WT does not wany
  They prefer that every JW be
  like a helpless baby )

  Tell You Know and GodRules
  that they are bad boys for
  being here with us good folk.
