Did you ever want to just 'FOREST GUMP' it out of the Kingdom Hall?
by GetBusyLiving in

the last few weeks of meetings for me were pure hell.

i got a cold sweat sometimes and just sat there fantasizing about running forest gump style out of the kingdom hall.

i was getting "encouraged" to comment more too and i just physically could not audibly promote that crap in public anymore.

i went to meeting last night (don't ask) and someone asked me to go out in service.

i was taken by surprise and actually agreed to do street work on saturday.

the sister that i'm supposed to work with has always been very kind to me and i know that there is no one else in our hall that will go out with her on saturday morning.

How do you feel, relieved or sad?

ive been doing a bunch of reflecting and pondering> im just seeing if anyone else has been feeling this and/or if its common.

relieved that i have a new found freedom, free to pursue goals and dreams i never could as a dub.

free from the guilt, always feeling god is watching waiting from me to screw up so he can erase my name from the book of life.

An Observation About Life
by JamesThomas in
1. jw
2. friends
being consciously present in this moment of life's expression, being open and meeting with this present moment of reality, being truly with what is actually here without judgments and mental commentary, does not seem to leave much room for beliefs in deities and their shenanigans.

in fact such imaginings only seem to steal away the vibrant aliveness of here.

so, perhaps, it is when we are not that much present with the truth of life, right here, right now, and rather lost in mental interpretations that we feel a need to become involved in the drama of gods and religion.

My Journey

i suppose we all think of ourselves as unique and we are in so many ways.

what i fail to realize, i guess, is that we are far more alike than unique.

every now and then i will reveal some little fear or quirk or dream that i have only to find out that someone else has experienced the same thing!
