finally i am free.
i wandered outside the convention around mid-afternoon, returning for the concluding song, so i didn't get to hear "summary of the botchtower" nor the final talk (which gets all the seals clapping).. .
know that the kingdom of god is near .
Truthseeker,
Thank you for you zealous work and having to listen for three entire days.
I really love the point of not listening to the voice of strangers. I know it has been said here before but I would like to know which strangers they are talking about considering that not one of us know who write the magazines, talks, etc. I think that would constitute them as strangers too.
Thank you again.

does anyone else remember that line from the songs?
were you odd?
did you mind?
What is even sadder is that I had to be a weird kid and because of this I will probably be weird my entire life. Even after you leave you never quite fit in.

i recently found a listing of prominent apostates from the adventures of the wtb&ts during the 20th century.
here's the list: moyle, fogh, goodrich, hemery, and schnell.
i know a little about each of these men, with the exception of fogh, whom i'll admit i have never heard of before.
There was also a Mr. Coffee? My brother said he was regularly picketing in front of bethel while he was serving there.

have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the words back or that you could crawl into a hole ?.
here are the testimonials of a few people who did.... .
- i walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, "how much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?
Thank you, BC. I just read those antics to my sister and we have been laughing for 30 minutes.

non.rough estimate fine.
i sure like the comradery here for ex"s. but wonder why so many here leave their belief in god altogether.. what is it that caused disbelief?
There must be a God because I am angry at him.
.
in other words, say something short, that you learnt on jwd, about the person above you.

This is a very difficult topic for me. I want to believe in Jehovah and Jesus and most of the time I do. But then, when I see the suffering of humanity and earthquakes, tsunami's killing thousands of people (basically when I watch the news), it makes me question. If I was an all powerful being that saw all of that happening and I could do something about it, I think I would and yet 2,000 years after Jesus, we haven't heard a peep.
When I was indecisive about leaving the organization, I begged Jehovah for a sign, some sort of answer. And there was nothing but silence, so, I made my own decision.
I see too many beautiful things to think that this world was not created by an intelligent being. Maybe, he grew tired of us and went on to another hobby.
So, most of the time I do believe (obviously I don't watch the news much ) in God and Jesus and I hope. It makes me happier to think that he is out there and he cares. Maybe one day.....

there are just so many i would love to meet, some more attainable than others.. sparkplug.
misspeaches.
damselfly.
Uninformed and IPSec, ya'll need glasses or you had too much to drink.
You both were a couple of hotties in my book.
Thank you for the mention. I am flattered.

from the 2006 d.c. program
wonder what an independent spirit is eh?
another 2001, korah, dathan and abiram example to obey the fds and the elders.
Oh yes, last years drama was wretched. They presented that situation like it was fact and they made the college guys wife seem like a horrible shrew. Really really sad attempt at fictional writing if you ask me.

Sounds like another 24 total hours of brainwashing again.
I wish that I could go and try some of the little tricks there that some of you have mentioned on this board. Like cussing during the songs that would be a blast but just can't drag myself to listed to that nonsensical dribble.
