I hear ya Sass.
It makes my blood boil when I think about them ruining ANOTHER generation of young folks who will struggle just to make ends meet because they have not been educated thoroughly.
I hope most of them can see through and get out one day......

The good thing about all the convention invitations...
by sass_my_frass in.
.... is that, at any time in the future, if you happen to be talking to a jw who doesn't know your history, you can make believe that you learned all this stuff at that one convention day you attended because somebody gave you an invitation to a district convention.... 'yeah i tell you, i mean you people seem polite and all, but i can't stand that they spent the whole day telling the children that they can't go to college, and that they kept saying over and over that the end is near....'

ahhh....thanks for the clarification.
I thought it had something to do with building the tobacco up at the tip of the cigarette. I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't know why people do this.

(((((sass))))))
such a cruel mentality. It's amazing what the human mind can be taught to rationalize as "loving." They TRULY do think they are doing what's BEST for you.
Thanks so much for your PM. I would have PM'ed back but my MAC won't let me SEND PM's -only receive them. Send me your email addy if you want to.
I have decided to do exactly what you told me. I've tried to talk with these "friends" and they shut me down completely. I will NOT give them anything they can use against me. Like Morwen said in her post a couple days ago about her family situation "you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't" (give an explanation, or explain your position.)
Someone gave me good advice when I first left - they said "you can't play tennis with someone, if you don't serve the ball back."
I'm just going to hold the ball for awhile. In some ways it's a relief to have them cut me off. (although they see it as me cutting them off.) I have to realize that no matter how much I want them to see I'm right - they just may never do that. If they do come around one day, it's going to have to be on their own.
love to you - freedomlover -

Comments You Will Not Hear at the 6-25-06 WT Study (Survival)
by blondie inwho do the sons and daughter-in-laws represent (did they have children before the flood)?.
what does the ark represent?.
(2 peter 2:5) the true god gave righteous noah explicit instructions on how to build an ark for the preservation of life through a global flood.
