whats the worst thing youve done during a meeting?

years ago, when i was a bit more wicked/naughty/younger than i am now, i thought i would take some drugs just prior to the meeting to see if it would make things any more interesting.

it didnt, but at least i enjoyed the kingdom melodies tapping my foot to the beat and bopping my head!!

Well I never thought of the KH as a place of sexual arousement so I guess it must gone something like this before and during the meeting.......

Oh yes mummy I'm ready for the KH

Oh yes mummy I'll save seats for us when we get there

Oh yes mummy I'll just be quick in the bathroom

Oh yes Oh yes Oh yes Oooooh yes yes yes...........................................................................

My Observation...How Come?

i've nearly finished reading the 2 ray franz books and i've been on this forum for a few months and i've wondered about this:.

on both the books and the forum much is said about the watchtower lying ,misleading ,being a false prophet ,having no conscience toward the after effects of decisions they have made that have effected peoples lives ,even sometimes tragically.. well ,ok ,but my observation is this :very rarely ,if at all, does anyone say directly that the watchtower is lead and influenced by satan.does this mean that :.

ones have lost faith in god /religion because of the watchtower org and now don't really believe in satan now.

Excellent points ,I guess I'm asking this so I get to know others here better ,but I am trying to understand others point of view apart from my own opinions that were formulated by leaving the org. I still believe satan exists and have not rejected the bible and Ray Franz has'nt but I'm puzzled as to why he has'nt come out and said satan is influencing the Watchtower to mislead people from Bible truth. Guess I'll have to write him if I can find an address.

Thanks for that ,I am serious at understanding things like this . I guess when one joins a forum it's because of some common interest or belief but in this forum it's not about say an interest in motor bikes that is in common ,but here it's about a religion and leaving .

I guess hearing viewpoints like yours it helps to know where a person fits in ,I mean if indeed most don't believe Satan exists anymore and someone here does, then the question comes up as to whether that person is realyy in the wrong place.

Well ,OK ,but my observation is this :Very rarely ,if at all, does anyone say DIRECTLY that the Watchtower is lead and influenced by Satan.Does this mean that :

Ones have lost faith in God /religion because of the Watchtower org and now don't really believe in Satan now

Or never believed in Satan as a person but only as a concept

Are scared to actually come forward and say that Satan uses the Watchtower for surely most would say they think the org is responsible for some horrible things (the Malawi/Mexico card issue)

The Watchtower has always blamed the world for being in Satan hands 2 Cor 4;4 so why is it that it appears that ones who leave and stand in direct opposition to the Watchtower do not in turn put the focus back on the Watchtower for being lead by Satan

Any one else wondered this ,or are we just locked in to the concept that all religion is just run by imperfect people who have no real right to say God is using them?

by pat1 in

hi every one i am not sure if i am posting in the right place or not but just wanted to say a quick hello.

i am a disfellowshiped (ex brother of 27 years), they did this to me nearly eight years ago after forming a commitee with two lying elders (one decent) who didn'nt like my father who was the presiding overseer at the time and stand in circut overseer.

i was married for six years at the age of 19 and when i decided to have a break from her it all hit the fan and the lies started about me.

Has anybody successfully quit using caffeine altogether?

by DanTheMan in

jw
friends

my anxiety and stress levels are really bad lately.

i think i'd be doing myself a favor to quit caffeine, as it has become a real catch-22 for me, where i need it to stay awake, but it causes me to lose sleep, so i need more of it to stay awake, etc.. i've learned through experience that i'm very sensitive to any sort of chemical substance that affects neurotransmitter flow, and, given my general propensity towards depression/anxiety/paranoia/add, i think that at least one thing i could do to give me a calmer, more stable neurotransmitter mix would be to eliminate caffeine.

i've tried to reduce before, and i've found that i just start making excuses to have a little more, a little more, until i'm right back where i started.. so, i'm just wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience where they felt the need to not just reduce but eliminate caffeine altogether, and if so, how did it go, did it help, how long has it been, etc.

wozadummy

Yes I've stopped drinking it and injecting it but my conscience allows me to rub it in

Is that OK?

OK exb

Serious now ,It must be difficult for you to come to fork in lifes road, but if you are young you have many miles on the road to go and many forks in the road. There is a world of wonderful people (and women of marrying kind) to share on lifes travels ,they don't all live in a in Bethel.

As for the hypocrisy ,well you can let it get you down or think that you have had the privelege of witnessing firsthand what many of us have only heard about and it can move you to be never like them and keep your integrity intact,and meet a life partner that has integrity also outside of that hypocrisy

Aw come on on Xbethelite fess up......you're working for the enemy are'nt you.?

What department are you in at Bethel.......The procurement Dept. maybe?

Fancy trying to get these poor apostates to go back to work again ...have you no conscience?

Some of us are old and married and frail and you you come here taunting us with promises of voluptous ladies, it's enough to make a man believe in ~~Satan~~ the GB again
