  i ran into a father and his 10 yr old jw daugther .

  i asked for the mag's and started anti= witnessing.

  i'm guessing the man was about 40 yrs old and ask him how long he's been a member of the wts.?

  I lean toward the idea that information like that is the responsibility of the parent.

  There is certainly an "empowerment" of sorts when a person breaks free from the cult, but that doesn't mean good judgement is thrown out the window.

  I have so much spiritual gas from that spolied so called spiritual food over the years...what should I take?

  by Joliette in

  i need to get rid of it.. when i was a kid, the brothers would always get on stage and talk about what an abudant buffet of spiritual food from jehovah's table we will receive.

  when i was a kid i use to take everything so literally, so i would imagine a buffet of ham, chicken, macncheese (the most creamy mac n cheese, candy yams, turkey, corn bread).

  i used to wish that the brother would finish with the prayer so we could get to old county buffet, so i could get to the literal food.. .

  How will the "new earth" be cleaned up ?

  by man in black in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember reading about the after effects of armageddon throughout the years, how the birds and beasts will ,eat their fill of the dead bodies.. pictures in the books and magazines showing how people will be destroyed by fire, weather, and earthquakes.

  then reading a real insightful post somewhere on this site which was titled something along the lines of "diary of an armageddon survivor".. but now that i have left this religion, i have never really understood accurately just how the wt society believes that the earth will be cleaned up right after the big a.. when the witnesses were studying with my parents back in the mid 70's the po had the idea that god would somehow use matter/antimatter to clean up all of the bodies.

  animals eating them all was another point, and the one where survivors would actually have to go around and bury them all was just totally bizzare to me.. (watch the series band of brothers, episode titled "why we fight" this is where the soldiers find a concentration camp,,,, it is a very frightening thing to watch to believe that god would make rightous survivors spend time doing this in the paradise cleaning up without looking for survivors.

  This approach to the subject really strikes an emotional nerve.

  If there is a loving God/Father, and it is going to bring an end to "wickedness", it will be up to that creature how it is done.

  Speculation just fuels apostate anger. Great for getting the blood pressure up there, man in black.

  currently mine are: peking duck pancakes, a sexy danish guy ( love those danes) and sleep.

  yes thats right, have spent 4 nights without sleep,... the old withdrawal symtoms still banging on don't ya know!.

  am currently at the point where smashing plates seems like a very refreshing and appropriate activity.

  if you are an elder or an ex-elder please add a comment.

  i hope that the governing body will see this.

  it is too bad it has to be on an anonymous forum.

  Great letter. May not get the GB's attention, but a good piece for an email blast, flyer for the Kingdom Hall parking lot, or letter to fellow congregants.

  When I became inactive, I stopped participating in the feud between the Almighty and one of his many rebelious sons. The God of the Bible is too much like men.
