after feeling that i was going to die at armagedumb, i have never feared death. My mother prepared me to die from an early age. I cannot recall ever fearing it. I don't want to die, I'm kinda attached to my life, but I hold no fear of it

do you every worry about dying?
do you think that you probably won't have a very long life?

a disabled friend of mine needed a ride today to an appointment, while i was sitting in my van reading the newspaper waiting for my friend a older woman walked up to my window.
i had in down 5 or 6 inches because i was smoking a cigg.
i could see that she had her bag full of watchtowers and awakes and so i said you must be a jehovah's witness ?.
good job

i couldnt stop playing it.
today i sat and really realized how absolutely hopeless i feel.
i have had so many things happen in my life this year and a huge percentage of it has been items i have to face or tackle.
i have prioritized and organized myself to death and i am so very overwhelmed.
Ah Decki, I don't know ya girl but I freaking love you. Reading your story a few weeks ago made me feel like I was close to you. In your pain is our pain. Muhammed Ali said once, "Me, we".
I hate the phrase, "If I can do anything for you, let me know." It lacks initiative. So, with that said, I want to do something for you. If you were closer, that'd be a six pack and a deep tissue massage, but I'm not that close. My fridge is empty so thats out too. Um, I've got a phone that accepts calls and an ear that listens to at least every third word. That is definitely on the table.
What else? Oh yeah, this dog makes me laugh, dunno why:
I'll try to think of some other stuff. In the meantime, we gotcho back hommie
did god lie to adam?
the watchtower, and in fairness all other christian groups, claim that satan told the first lie when he told eve, "you positively will not die".
but was it a lie?
The problem here is quantifying the word "day". The problem exists because time to an immortal being is irrelevant. It doesn't matter to "God" because he is unaffected by it. The only way that Adam could even understand death would be to examine the deaths of the animals around him. That being said, how then would he understand "in that day you will die" if he had no concept of the passage of time?

the age of 40?.
seems like a lot have left after 1/2 or 2/3 of a lifetime.
what accounts for that in your mind, if you left in later middle years or older?.
I think it has to do with reaching the middle of your life and looking back to see if you've accomplished anything worthwhile.........in other words, are you happy with your life as you've lived it?
You old foggies don't have the monopoly I left when I was 24 basically because I couldn't stand the prodding feelings in my stomach anymore. It was literally killing me. After my departure my disease disappeared as if it never existed. I looked back at my late teens and my early 20's and saw all of my potential being wasted. I saw how many opportunities I had spurned as a result of upholding the divine way.
I knew that I was too bad person to ever see the reward, but it was worth it if Jehovah's sovereignty was upheld. But that really wasn't the feeling that I got from the elders as to their motivation... then the scales fell from my eyes. It was after this realization that I knew that leaving meant that I was on my way to becoming one of the baddest muthaf*ckas of all time. Life is good!
i want you to know that you have destroyed a family because of your lies about jehovah and his organization.
a family member went apostate and has turned his back on jehovah.
he told us he is never coming back and i know he went and visited internet sites.
Isn't your God strong enough???
OOOhhh. PIE~YOW. Right in the gut. I felt that one.
