Disaster Preparedness Announcement

by daniel-p in

tonight would have been my long meeting but i didn't attend.

however, my wife attended and she just came back and told me about an announcement they made in the form of a "letter to all congregations..." aparently they (wts) want everyone to be prepared for disasters and measures will be taken to make sure congregations and their members are prepared.

each member will provide their number, cell numbers, and numbers of close relatives.

This almost sounds like they are preparing the Kool-Aid.

Wow! If I was an outsider(householder) reading that and didn't know much about the JW's, I would be thinking,"these people are [edit] up!" I hope they place a lot of copies.

find jwd?

i found this website while i was looking for the company that you can get service stuff from, i believed it was the "truth" and was a pioneer at the time, not a pioneer anymore.

so how did you get here and what has changed in your life since you found this place?.

Spectre

I think it was from a link on Fark about the WT suing Quotes for embarassing them.

Did you think that you knew more ?

by A Paduan in

.

as a jw, were you convinced that you knew more theologically than "those in christendom", yet hadn't really even read the bible ?

more than say, a monk who over a thousand years ago hand wrote one, and read it everyday ?

Are you happier out of the org?

by dobbie in

hi everyone i was just wondering if those of you that have left the org for whatever reason, have found your'e much happier than when you were in it?probably a daft question but i tried to talk to a friend about how i was feeling about a few things and why i don't go to meetings and she said would i really be any happier out than in?it just got me thinking about why i joined in the first place, because i was lonely and down, although i still am several years later it seems!have you found life better on the outside?did you feel a sense of freedom or was it really hard to adjust?when i try to explain what i find hard in the religion they can always say something back that then makes me think i was wrong in the first place and it is the truth after all - aagh!

Spectre

I probably would have killed myself if I hadn't left. And at that time I still believed it to be the "truth". I am much happier now without the constant feelings of guilt for doing nothing wrong to begin with.

well, i been "living in sin" for about 5 days now and aside from an elder asking if i was gonna still do a talk i was scheduled for this past monday (i told him no of course.

he knows i moved out and only asked about my literature) i finally worked the nerve to download the application for this season's america's next top model.

i've been modeling for some time now and i figured what the hell...i have nothing to lose but $3.95 in postage.

Good Luck!!! Is it a show that the viewers have to call in and vote?

All I'm saying is that it appears that you are smarter then the average dub, which means that if you stick around here for any amout of time you won't be one for long.
