  i saw it for the first time.

  in a very pricy shopping center in an upscale area, these two witnesses couples had a booth, very similar to those for cellphones, and they were trying to attract people to it and passing out magazines and other literature.

  after the shock, i got to thinking: .

  I made a proposition to my dad - the ex-elder

  by divejunkie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my dad is visiting us this month...so we get to talking .

  every chance i get i drop a "little" bomb about the wts - nothing big to cause an argument but powerful enough to make him think and not have an answer.

  anyway, he is the ultimate "pack rat".

  Gospel of Judas -anybody watching?

  by divejunkie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the national geographic channel is presenting a brand new documentary tonight about the findings of the "gospel of judas" .

  now a few years back - my brother (ex-elder, df'd, and self-proclaimed apostate)presented me with the possibility that maybe the portrayal of judas was wrong.

  maybe the role he played was not of a traitor but of someone who made the sacrifice of doing the dirty work that jesus needed in order to get "the ball rolling" -sort of speak- for certain events to happen.

  Hindsight is 20/20: What were your signs?

  by divejunkie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what i mean is now that you are out of the wt; do you ever think back at something you innocently said or did when you still believed or you were little that now feels like a sign that you would someday get out of the bullsh*t?

  for me, growing up in the jw's, i feel there were signs of my "goat hairs" even way back then.

  ** even as a child, every saturday morning i would spend at least 10 or 15 minutes trying to figure out what to say to get out of going to field service .
