god bless this site
by hurt dave infor someone who was raised in the "truth" for 17 years it was a very hard and a very scary decision when my father finnally had the "you must choose a side of the fence" speech and when i chose not to do it anymore he flipped his lid and i so "tormented" by my decsion i latched on to "maryjane" to fill the "need".
after living with my parents for two years and then on my own for two more years crying everynoght cause i was alone not knowing way i felt this way this way, i felt a spirtual need at 3:30am i drove to my dads house and beged him to let me came home because the "voices" were drivin me crazy and i needed "guidance" he said well get you a meeting with elders and a "bible study".
so i move back in, had a talk with the elders where they used the bible to call me stupid and i went to there meeting where they used what i said in private and made a whole new talk based around it i broke down crying and prayed to god for the guidacne to make me strong and make the tears stop and the holy spirt led me to this site i moved in with my brother and told my parents i can know longer belive the "truth".

WT Article on Mennonites - Wow... Double Standards
by indoubt ini usually don't read wt or awakes, but i stumbled on an article that shows the borg's two-facedness.. the article talks about a group of mennonites that had doubts about their religion and wanted to study with the jws.
after the first paragraph, i realized that i had felt exactly like those poor mennonites when i decided to study the jw's history.
let me explain... i have scanned some parts of the articles: .

You know, people just amaze me. They will spew out some warped logic or a story like that and not even blink. Is sort of scarey how blind they can be.
A guy who was in the Assembly of God denomination once told me that while they don't forbid drinking they frown on it because they don't like supporting the alcohol industry which they feel is not all that savory. Okay, I can see that I guess, then he proceeds to say, thank God for non-alcoholic beer, I really missed the taste. I sort of looked at him and said, er, you do realize that the same companies that produce regular beer produce the non-alcoholic version right? Its not Coke or Pepsi that makes Sharps and O'Douls and the guy just looks at me like I hit him over the head with a ball bat. I'm thinking to myself, how in the hell did you not make this conncetion, amazing.

Oh yeah, beating on equipment, that will fix everything. People like that just amaze me. If you need so stress relief go outside and run around the block until you collapse, but don't drag me down into your private hell with your antics.

Appropos to nothing it just occured to me we have one of each now, Hibs representing the females, Brownboy the males, and JCanon the transgender. At least this forum is politically correct in its diversity.

Faithful and Discreet Slave?
by jeeprube ini once questioned my father the elder about how we really knew the governing body was the "faithful and discreet slave" spoken of in scripture.
to answer he took me to the scripture (i cannot remember which one, and am too lazy to look it up) that asks the question......."who really is the faithful and discreet slave?
".......yada, yada, yada.. that's it.
