  If the society says jump...................you say

  by wannaexit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well the c.o was visiting the congregation a few weeks ago and he made an interesting comment.. he said that years ago when the society said "jump" the brothers would respond "how high?.

  now when the society says "jump" the brothers ask "why"?.

  this tells me that the walls of this spiritual paradise are cracking and that many are not willing to put up with all the crap that jw's of the past did.. what do you think?

  Yes, just look at the numbers here in the U.S alone. Even though you have 6.5 million borg members, you still don't have an increase here in the U.S.

  interesting, but still, they always will put a spin on that figure won't they?

  I don't really know about that one...I'm still new.

  I really do like the topics that are on here, fluff is nice though, there's a time and place for it imho. But I really like how if there is a question that puzzels me, I can go on here and get answers, and research those answers. So all the long time posters are making an impact in theier own great way. Even if there is evidence of a slump in a way.

  Thanks guys! You actually saved me. I'm grateful...I mean it.

  I am STUNNED......

  i just got a call from the social security office.

  now......these people sent me a letter of denial of ssi even before their doctors examined me a coupla weeks ago, so i couldn't imagine why they would be calling me.

  at first i thought she was telling me that they'd mistakenly sent out the denial letter to me, but that wasn't it.

  Usually the case is that you have to appeal and appeal and wait for forever for them to drag their feet and then they would hope you would give up; however if you dont, they have to give you back pay from the time you applied for SSI so I guess they are just going to just pay up instead of having to come up with all of it at once once you are approved.

  This is true...They denied my brother this FIVE times because of his chronic illness. But he never gave up, we all fought for him, and with him, and now he has it. I'm glad things are blowing in your direction too Frannie

  Because they are slowly starting to THINK.

  What a coincidence now that they are getting more w.t articles about staying true to the organization, and not to straddle the fence. Also to lay more guilt trips on the collective in actually growing a brain. Just stumbling upon those articles makes me nauseous...spiritual paradise? Look out for the serpents in those trees, mate.

  Another question about JW

  by Shazard in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as i never been jw i can't understand why some of you bother writing some letters.

  if being in wt is not legaly binding (as i understood that baptism is not legaly binding), then who cares about writing.

  just stop going to kh and that's all.

  Or this is some kind of psichological matter?

  That's what it is. I've always pondered that concept. In writing such a letter they can put it in your "file".

  If this is not a cult...why have a file? I wonder if the first century "christians" had files on their members too?

  Another thing that I'll have to get over is thinking what she is doing with someone else. Who's holding her, Who is she allowing to be with her. I blow those feelings away real quickly, but it's hard to just dismiss them. Especially when you remember then passionate nights and mornings you would spend with that person. Then all of a sudden they let you go, as to them those fellings were nothing but a release of tension, stress. To me in my mind they were special and ment so much. And since she said she loved me I, as a dummy took it for face value. Which got me wondering...She was Infatuated with the IDEA of being in love rather than actually BEING in love. Plus for her and me it was a rebound relationship that was probably destined to fail. In the end she showed herself to be selfish, self-centered and callious.

  And no matter how many guys she'll let in her life NONE of them will EVER love her the way I did....

  NONE of them with such passion, none with such compassion and patience that came straight from MY heart and soul.

  oh well...NEXT IN LINE!

  1. patients who think they are in a hotel and not a hospital,
  2. patients who try to treat you like you are their personal slave

  Excatly! They seem to forget that. And they seem to not have those two qualities that is important as well.

  Compassion, and Patience.

  Which in fac tmine is wearing VERY THIN.
