hello folks,.
when i started to have serious doubts about witnessdom a few years ago i embarked on an investigation which catapulted me into, what i have come to call, the "ecstasy of insight" and the "agony of doubt.
" i remember going to an out-of-the-way library one morning to read crisis of conscience.
I never miss the ecstacy. We weren't allowed to take drugs at our cong.

today is my husband, rocker-dudes, birthday!.
he is 41 which is quite disturbing for someone with heavy metal coursing through his veins...he was never supposed to pass 21. .
your 'condolences' would be most appreciated... .
happy birthday rock bloke.
Is it time for a mid life crisis yet? Buy a bike, grow your hair - or cut it depending on what it is now. Imagine you are suddenly attractive to your daughters friends tee hee
.
i like to run, but if i ever go a week or more without running my left knee starts getting very sore.
once i go out an run again the pain will go away so long as i keep running every other day.. anyone have any idea why this would be?
If a limb is causing you grief cut it off and throw it away. Better to enter into the kingdum of the heavens with one good knee than limping like a weirdo (thats from the Living Bible)
my history,.
47 years doing the jw thing from the age of 3.. many good times and many times i thought i was worthless especially as a teenager.
couldn't be good enough to please some elders.
welcome. Good move
just curious, since they control how we dress, how we're suppose to fuck, how we act.
WHATTT?? You cannot be serious? I cant believe that. Ive never heard such medieval mumbo jumbo in all my life (well apart from the 3 meetings a week I went to for 30 years)
My god thats just too much.
sorry if this has come up before but i'm new and it only just occurred to me.
we all remember (or still see regularly, joe-help-you) those wt illustrations of people living happily in a paradise on earth, cavorting peacefully with the animals.
everyone is dressed like retired wasps (no offense to retired wasps intended).
I cant work out if theres an insult there or not - my ego is rejecting it like a bad liver!
do you think that the watchtower organisation will still be in existence 50 years from now?.
if it is still around, will there still be thousands left of the annoited, partaking each year at the memorial?.
how will the watchtower have to change in the next half century?
how will the annointed change in 50 years time - weeell... they will be 50 years older!
- but they'll still be alive, cos theres something in that bread they eat.
I think it will all still be going, you will be able to download the Witchtower and Asleep onto your i-pod, and the borg will have to think of new ways to raise money - maybe parking charges in the car park, or rentaseat in the KH - where you have to feed a meter infront of you if you want to sit down.
Every dub will have to speak with a meaningful american accent - even the dubs in Britain - EVEN the dubs in Newcastle, because it will be the accent of honesty and trustworthyness, the happifying accent.
All female dubs will have to have breast enlagements, and go flirty fishing for jesus.
Everyone will be sterile, so they'll have to find another way of making the numbers grow. Drone dubs will be kept on farms - the bethel farm - and alternate limbs will be harvested to grow into new dubs.
mom and i went to have a bite to eat at one of her favorite restaurants which is in a casino.
lo and behold as we were leaving in walks 5 of her dub friends who were going to eat at the same place.
she was talking and talking and i got tired of standing there being ignored so i walked away and started playing the slots which was well in their eye site.
gambling was a big no for us. We wouldnt buy raffle tickets but we would offer to make a donation (how lame).
Like youre really gonna get hooked on buying primary school raffle tickets - cos them prizes sure were a big lure - there was that bottle of bubble bath from Asda that always got donated back, a basket of brown and orange dried flowers, a lavendar soap wrapped in clingfilm sat on a cushion, and not forgetting some doll someone had knitted with all the little knitted detail like a frill on the dress , and a knitted hat, little knitted fingers and knitted eyes.
just curious, since they control how we dress, how we're suppose to fuck, how we act.
and I thought he meant can witnesses shave in Auatralia.. dont see why not really...
I love the image of an inspection in the book room! almost along the lines of the advice we got given before assemblies that as sisters we had to bend over and a brother had to tell us if our clothes were still modest, also we had to stand in the sunshine and a brother had to tell us if our skirts went seethough.
Its priceless - you couldnt make this stuff up could you.
when jesus "selected" the faithful and discreet slave!.
"faithful and discreet slave" and therefore that the society was not.
the witnesses as "the faithful and discreet slave".. .
LOL - Bobs Witnesses!
Reminds me of a sketch with Rowan Atkinson in where he says de debils name is Bob - Beel ze Bob!
