  Well I was having doubts about the "truth" and stepped down as an elder. Shortly after was df"d and never had a desire to go back, Since then I see new evidence everyday that tells me it is not the truth.

  Have you ever witnessed a Witness

  by mjs mouse, ben in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  myself being a very observant person have on many occasions witnessed witnesses behaving badly in public places.

  for instance, i was in an auto parts store recently, unbeknownst to a jw(elder) who happened to walk in, lines were long and this @#@hole demanded to be served immediately, yelling, cutting in front of everyone else, belittling the clerks like they were nobody (typical jw).

  i felt like telling him to calm down and show some "fruitages of the spirit", but i just watched his rant and thought to myself how bad these jerks act when they think no one is around.

  I too was at an auto parts store and there was an elder there giving the girl a rough time over a item he wanted to return. He was ranting and was very rude to her. He turned around and saw me and calmed down a little bit. After he left the clerk said to me what a mean man. Wow good example of christian conduct.

  I bet he was not a JW otherwise there would have been a cover up.

  A comment my Mom made

  by Junction-Guy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  mom and i were discussing some recent books on the catholic church, and mom said that supposedly the catholic church was holding some major secrets on the bible and that if the catholic people were to ever find out, they would literally destroy the catholic church and there would be rioting in the streets.

  i told mom, "look at all of the children who have died from no blood, look at all of the people who forsook college education, look at all of the families destroyed, look at all of the children molested, look all of the lies of the wt society, and yet the wt society still flourishes, the catholic church would probably get through that too".

  she just told me that they would tear that church apart.

  I hated it with a passion. Many times I would only pretent to ring the door bell and just mark it down as a not at home. But somehow I always got my 10 hours in to remain an elder.

  Wonderful Words from the CO

  by roflcopter in

  2. bible

  wonderful words from the co at the assembly.

  not only are we in the last days, we are in the "last days of the last days", and that the fall of religion and the start of the great tribulation is so close.

  hah, even went so far as to say "possibly within a year".

  Remember back in 1961 during the Cuban crisis.... Well they talked about that being the last days. I remember comments made by many to that effect. That was 45 years ago.

  JW's and sickness

  by Honesty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did it seem to you that a lot of congregations had more than the usual sick people in them when compared with their worldly neighbors?.

  could it be a common problem among jw's?.

  do you think it may be mold?.

  It could be that they are being fed poison on a regular basis.

  Do you not care anymore?

  by Pleasuredome in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone here got to the stage where they just dont care about the wts anymore?

  whether they exist or disband, whether its about doctrine and dogma, attitudes, flip-flops, what they think of you, scandles etc.

  would this be the end goal of recovering from the jws?
