hey everyone!

another wisconsin newbie here.

been lurking for a while, been doubting for a very long time.

katiekitten

Welcome HTF, you are in a difficult position, having to participate in something you are not convinced about - so all respect to you. I hope this site keeps you sane in your time of fading.

Plus you are of great value because you can tell us whats happening on the inside now and again!

Just curious

by pratt1 in

.

since this is the 4th of july weekend, do any of you display the american flag in or around you home?.

i have to admit, although i have been faded for many years, i find it difficult to even own anything with the american flag symbol.

katiekitten

I wont be putting up my american flag, but I do have Kerry bumper stickers on my car! My evil step mom (that mum for us British posters who know how to spell) sent me them in the post.

bearing in mind i do not attend meetings, and theyve stopped calling to get the "report" i will not be able to give them the good news.

what a shame.

is there somewhere else i can report?.

katiekitten

S8!!! Good one my little green chum.

I was always really impressed with brothers who knew the code names for kingdom forms!! I thought it meant they were more spiritual.

Now I know it just meant they were wannabe civil servants.

Local Needs - Apostate Warning!!

by hopetofade in

jw

had a very interesting local needs part last nite - warning against apostate activity in our area, as well as the dangers of the internet.

the elder giving the talk discussed how he googled "watchtower" and a whole boatload of sites came up, such as silent lambs, etc.

"we need to stay away from these.

katiekitten

THey should do the same thing they do with sex talks - describe in graphic detail all the things you are not allowed to do. THe talk would go something like this:

And so brothers you should NEVER visit www.jehovahs-witness.com - thats 'witness' not witnesses. Neither should you visit silentlambs, or read Crisis of Conscience written by Raymond Franz IBSN no. 1264227648654 which can be purchased from all good book shops for £12.99

Anyway what was he doing googling apostate sites? Is he somehow immune from corruption unlike the rest of the congregation, who need warning. Does he check out porn too to make sure its bad for everyone? Does he shag his neighbours wife to prove that bad consequences proceed from adultery? What an arse.

Any "Miraculous" experience happen to you like the ones said at Conventions

by soundbox_guy in

i had to sit through those experiences at the convention, i was wondering, did any of you used to be one of those people on stage giving an experience about how something miraculously happened like getting the exact amount of money you needed to pay your rent on the day it was due?

i always hear the stories, but can anybody actually tell me something like this has happened to them when they were a good little witness?

and if it has, did these sort of "events" stop taking place after you left?

A woman on the doors once said she had been praying for some screws (as in metal threaded implements to join two pieces of wood together) and LO! when she looked in her dead husbands shed there were six shiny screws among all the rusty ones. And GUESS WHAT?? She needed EXACTLY six to finish her job. Well she said it was god, but I knew it couldnt have been because I was a Jehobas Wishness, and she wasnt. So I dunno who was helping her.

Also a pioneer in our cong was praying once for a chip pan (as in metal home frying implement) and LO! when she went to the charity shop she found one for 50p. Now that MUST have been Jehoba because she was a poineer.

And ALSO another pioneer was praying for a job and LO - when she looked for a job later on GUESS WHAT?? She found one. I know, its almost too unbelievable to be true!

Well I thought god was spending all day sourcing screws and chip pans and jobs for holy ones when I was a dub, but now im thinking - who are these people that pray for screws and chip pans? Its not in the Lords Prayer is it? Give us this day our randomly required household implements as and when we see fit to request them. And give them to us immediately so we can relate these improbable stories to other people just to irritate them.

And also im thinking - if you are going to pray for a job, and then go out and look for one arent you showing a terrible lack of faith in gods ability to provide a job for you? What, you have so little trust in the prayer that you think you will sneak out and look for one yourself just in case the omnipotent and omnipresent one cant find one? I think that is distorting the system.

Also, being a mathematician now, I believe in random events, and coincidence.

katiekitten

That sucks. I feel for you. I had the same thing right after I got sacked by my pioneer employer that I window cleaned with! (cos he wanted a less sexy girlfriend that didnt give him wet dreams and a guilty conscience - gotta be the only reason!!!)

Could I help you? How long have I known you on a professional basis? Must be four or five years now, right? PM me if I can be useful.
