Do you think theres such a thing as a "normal person"

by londonlady in

i was trying to think of all the many many people i've ever met and conculded that none of them could be termed "normal".

some of them might have seemed normal to start with but on further inspection most definatly not!.

in answer to the obvious question no i do not think i'm normal neither, i don't think i would want to be either.

if the tribulations started tomorrow, and all you knew of the bible was what the jws had told you, would you suddenly think, "they said this would happen, and it is, therefore they must be right", and go running back?.

or would you think, "just because eventually biblical prophiesies came to pass that "they" had read you from the bible, doesnt mean they are the chosen religion, because they get all these other doctrines wrong", and know these doctrines well enough to be able to convince yourselves.. .

replies such as "it wont happen cause its a fairy story" wont really help..

And when you're getting them ready for other activities give her the clothes and ask her to help them get ready.

Were You Ever Comfortable Going From House To House?

by minimus in

because i was raised a witness, i don't think i was "uncomfortable" knocking on strangers' doors.

(weirdo).. but as i got older, i simply didn't want to bother anyone so i was at there door for no more than 30 seconds.

at the end i hated being there..

NomadSoul

It was very uncomfortable, specially when it was 100 degrees outside.

maybe you are an atheist.. maybe you are agnostic.. you have left a cult, left behind an entire belief system, complete with detailed instructions on how to live..rules to follow for every aspect of your very life.

you know it was a big lie.. you are now naked, staring at your soul.

just you, just your own thoughts, just your own voice, your own feelings.

it all exists even it's in your mind.

While you were debating which chicken sandwich was best to eat, I just landed on mars.
