i was just wondering why people fade instead of just quitting right away.
going inactive isn't enough to get dfed, is it?
i was never dfed, though my meeting attendance had been on again off again for months before hand.
.........it's all a foggy path we walk....."damned if you do....damned if you don't"..............even if you fade, you are considered weak....if you walk away clean....you are sewer water.........you have given in to satan.....you know that angel that thought for "his self".....you are f*cked anyway you go...

this afternoon i heard on national public radio that poet/songwriter patti smith will be inducted into the musical hall of fame later this week.
an interview with terri gross from 1996 detailed her early life as a jehovah's witness.
she spoke respectfully of the jws and her memory of her mother and father and early family life, but spoke candidly that she did not like the teachings and restrictions and never felt she fit in.
..............hey now, easy...............old is as old does...........she's a great performer...................salute!!!!

my sister and i were raised in the "truth", by our mother alone, working for minimum wage.
as a young child, i remember being give a dollar or two every week to put in the contribution box at the kh, my mother was making $40 to $60 a week and gave that cult $2, plus the gas for fs, plus the cost of books and magazines.
we had 6 6' tall bookcases all full of the watchtower and awake annual volumes, back to the 50's or 40's, plus every book the wtbts ever published.
...............hummm....................so typical...........but not only did you survive........you are a better person for it

i was a new ministerial servant and figured i better take on all the assignments that were asked of me, even the ones i did not exactly like.
which brings me to how i got to know, brother johnson, he was an older man in his nineties and in all the time i was growing up, i could count on my fingers how many times i actually saw him make it to the meetings.
ever know someone that was just so old when you were born, and you knew so long, that you convinced yourself they were just always old?
..........awsome story free2beme.......did that really happen? i could beleive it, if it did!

an elder friend just asked me the most simple question.. "if you had all the power, would you still let the world be like this?"..
i answered "of course not".. then he just said "hmmm"..
..........seems to me, he may be questioning jehovah, "all the power" & the "promises from the wtb&ts..........imo

the nation of islam began in 1930 with the arrival of wallace dodd fard to the black ghetto of detroit.
to the black underclass, fard presented himself as a merchant allegedly from the holy city of mecca.
he sold silks, hats, and other artifacts allegedly imported from his homeland, though elijah muhammad once stated that fard was not a silk peddler but a tailor of custom-made clothes.
.............maybe that's why michael jackson is becoming a " member of the nation of islam" it's just close enough to the jw fluff he was raised in....except the disfellowshippings,shunnings,protecting pedophiles, door 2 door work, 500 meetings a week, etc,etc,etc,
