before we realize it, we are daydreaming—maybe even dozing!

If the WTS was totally discredited in the eyes of the JWs

by greendawn in

if a really big scandal happened in the wts and the r&f realised that the organisation is the big con that it is, how do you think they would react?

empty kingdom halls?

divided families re united?

I thought and thought about it. All I could come up with is DENIAL.

There I go, jumping to conclusions. I didn't realize it was a game of luck. I thought I had to try and match them up and thought, 'no freakin' way!'

LOL, I read the post to just click and hope you get lucky and started clicking randomly all over it. My score was 1 the first time.

An Old JW friend has just pissed his life away...

well, a few of you are aware of my situation.

for those that are not, basically i more or less admitted to my wife that i no longer believe (after being raised a dub, bethel 'service' etc) and that led to altercations with her and the elders.

i had a friend in the congreation who, after also being raised a jw, had done none of the things i had, even not been baptised (thats right, not in 30+ years!!!

Well....maybe what you were telling him was giving him serious doubts and he was hoping baptism would cleanse his mind. You can always hope.

I almost had a nervous breakdown just looking at the page, let alone trying to play! I must be getting old.

My Personal Ad - Update 11/4 see end of post

sorry i had to start a new topic but the board's software is not allowing me any replies and with all the newer people here they might want to get to know a little about me.. i was raised in a jw household that wasn't terribly strict, but strict enough where i had no worldly friends and wouldn't even consider college or extracurricular school activities.

baptized at 17. that and getting married just after turning 20 stunted me emotionally and i'm still recovering, though i think i'm doing an okay job.. started working in my father's business and pretty much took it over when he retired and moved to florida in 1995.. quit associating with jws in 1997 at age 25. jw wife left me on the advice of the elders, but she came back 5 months later.. grew my hair very long and pierced my ear.. in spring of 2000 two elders came to my house under the pretense of inviting me to the memorial.

" they then informed me that the real reason they were there was to serve me notice that a judicial hearing was being scheduled and i was asked several times to either attend or put something in writing that i was no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.. i chose to attend the hearing.
