  The only bit of personal information I saw, Ozziepost, is the name of a famous artist and the town that he lives in.

  I thought it was an interesting read. Especially the the comment section.

  What were the things that troubled you as a JW?

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not necessarily asking for the big stumbling blocks here or things you discovered once you started doing your own research outside the borg.

  i'm talking about the smaller things.. for me one thing was the talk of no one being able to become a witness unless "jehovahs drew them to him".

  as a born-in this never jived with me.

  I started seeing that JW's were not for everyone. If it was gods divine plan for humanity, why is there only 6 million members? Are the other 6 billion people on the planet just plain stupid?(yes I know a lot of them are, but thats beside the point) Is the question of universal sovereignty really resolved with that percentage?

  And I was getting soooooooo bored at the meetings. Does my eternal salvation really depend on me trying to be enthused while being so bored? The guilt was really getting to me as well. I felt mass amounts of guilt for not being able to completely go all obsessive compulsive about it like they want you to.

  let's start a list of reasons why you were told, or overheard people telling, won't make it through the big a day.

  i'll start.. 1. they don't take showing up for cleaning the kingdom hall seriously and never show up.

  i overheard a sour puss old elder say this to his wife after he just gave a scolding talk on it.

  witch means wise one.

  wit=wise.. how about using bitch instead?

  surely, thinking people would not want to put us witches in a bad light and bring reproach to goddess' names.

  1919? 1914? 1975? None of these dates are going to matter in a few years...

  by Alpaca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of us who got burned by the borg's bogus bible chronology.... once a few more years go by (at least by 2020 or 2030), the borg will not be able to fit their supposed divinely arranged role into some kind of bible chronology unless they completely overhaul their explanations of the prophecies.

  that leaves them in a catch-22.

  if they got it wrong, what's to make them any more believable in the future?.

  It is a question I've thought of many a time in regards to Perseus.

  ok one of the only two peopel who don't know i haven't gone to meetings in 3 years sent me this remark: , i can't believe how all this time has gone by.

  the one good thing about getting older like this is that it brings us that much closer to the new system.

  i need a witty reply.

  Indeed Rutherford knew what he was talking about when he said that "millions now living will never die", didn't he?
