  here is an interesting challenge for the folks.

  this thread revolves around one subject, and that is thomas paine's brilliant critique of the bible written in about 1795. he did most of this from memory, while in prison in france.. http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/thomas_paine/age_of_reason/.

  the challenge is this: critique his essays.

  i thought i had been going really well in my life until my mothers recent attempt at shunning me.

  now im feeling like i don't want to connect with anyone.

  i'm kind of disconnecting myself from my friends even, withdrawing.

  yeah i'm feeling ya

  Thats got to have an affect on a young persons emotional development.

  it has an effect on anyones emotions. i was df-ed for 18 months and was virtually a basket case by then.

  see the thing is even tho supposed 'princes' do not understand..the fact is that a creator knows the effect such cruel treatment has on his creation..this for me is sure evidence that jah is not directing jws

  not that this knowledge makes me any saner however

  My story: "Pop!" goes the Little Circuit Breaker

  by TJ - iAmCleared2Land in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i guess it's about time i write my story.

  i've put this off for a long time... primarily becuase, while i thought my story was bad, i've read so many worse and heart-rending stories here.

  i think, though, there is some therapeutic value in 'letting it all out' with others who know what 'it' was like.

  If they do not show repentance, not only will they not receive thier inheritance but at a time you have designated you will have a hit man put them to death.

  unless they are in the nation of israel...in which case they get to do it themselves

  at least when ray was outed it was because higher ups questioned his more reasonable humane attitude toward the r & f.

  not seeing much of that coming from headquarters lately.

  unless the idea of doing away with the title of p.o is the apostates idea and this had 'alerted' the others who don't want to relinquish titles.

  i was discussing this at dinner with my pioneer sis and her ms husband this evening...we think that p.o.s should now have the title 'the lowly one'. see how they like to introduce themselves to others with that title..

  wouldn't change the mind set tho.

  when i was appointed p.o there was another elder that wanted the position..and boy did he sulk when he didnt get it..started parrotting things that other elders said in that meeting in their voice..talk about childish. i could have cared less anyway - i wanted to be the service overseer. which i became the next co viist because by that time it was a new co who wanted to be different from the co that had appointed me and also because the elders that had voted for me had now moved so my supporters were now in the minority..so i got to be service overseer for a few months until another elder decided he had had enough of doing the school and so pointed out that since i hadn't completely erradicated irregularity then i wasn't up to the job and he could do it better. so he tried for a few months and then when he wasn't successful he decided to move congs aswell.

  lots of evidence of holy spirit there then..it was almost as if someone was doing something wrong that was stopping the flow...o wait a minute that was me...o no wait another minute it wasnt at that time altho one could understand that being treated like crap could eventually make someone act crappilly

  my sis just had their co visit..i asked if the public talk was shortened..and she said they had been told it wouldn't be this time round.

  so in other words all the elders have got to reduce all their talks to 30 mins

  but the co who only has 1 doesn't have to....

  seems fair

  Feeling sorry for the old time witnesses...wishing it were the "truth".

  by integ in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it's really pretty sad.

  i think of my parents, my aunt, and a lot of the old timers that have been in this thing for so long, and i can't help but feel sorry for them.

  i mean, how devastating it would/will it be to find out they have been duped all along.

  I know that my mother is just counting the days until she can see her father again in the ressurection; welcome him back

  yup..and she won't even be married to him...tho this is rarely advertised...just more false hope.

  expectation postponed is makng the heart sick....no wonder there are so many heartsick jws - including lately my jw parents who commented last summer 'surely the new system will be before the end of this year'..

  guess what !!!
