Talked to an OLD Friend last night
by RichieRich inso, when i was little, there was this guy i used to hang around with.
he was like an older brother to me.
in fact, 8 years my senior, he might as well have been.. his mom and my mom were best friends.

Why label it a cult?
by rebel8 inwhat purpose does it serve?
it just seems to polarize people and ostracize those who aren't ready or willing to label it a cult.
anyone can look up the dictionary definition of a cult (or experts' definitions).

Has money taken over...
by emptywords ini have found that at every assembly being circuit, district or one day, they are always, always in deficit, why is this, at the last circuit assembly they said that it cost 6,000 for electicity for two days, and that to me was just embarrassing, i asked the sister next to me if what i heard was correct, and yes she said in debt for the weekend because of electricity.. another thing is the soliciting of property from older ones, i know that they do this with anyone that has property (especially older ones that have no heirs).
to leave their assets to the wts, because the governments will take it if you die.
but also what they can leave to the wts would be appreciated if they have family heirs left, i have seen this soliciting in the wt mags on occastions.. what is you're experience if any on this.. cheers.

casual dating was never allowed at my congregation either..nor is anyone allowed to communicate w/disfellowshipped family members,under any circumstance..the majority of folks here have had this same experiance..sounds like you were lucky or had an unusualy enlightened mom..we are all here,because we feel like we have been thru a war.and the war is still going on for any of us who still have loved ones in the cult..its all or nothing for the jw's..and life just isnt that way....

ive been going too,for a similar reason..being a jw means never being able to ever vote again,hating homosexuals as deviants and considering all 'worldly therapy' evil.lets see,no more birthdays,no unusual sexual positions,no christmas,as a matter of fact,one is taught to make sport of those who do,.forget all of your friends,no matter how long youve known them,no computers..its a lot to give up..not sure i can do it,even for a few years,..it gives me a punch in the stomach type of feeling everytime i think about it..

todays watchtower/marriage counselors
by aquagirl intoday at the watchtower study,they said that marriage counselors encourage folks who are having issues to divorce..is that the stupidist thing that youve ever heard?
like,how many of them have gone to marriage counseling lately?.also the thing about the man being the head,the decision maker,that aint'jus' aint'a settin' right w/me...so,i assume if i get reinstated,i cant be an elder?like,because i dont have a penis?..um,hello,its 2007!!

you are right on the fear of therapy thing..one woman said that the bible is the only marriage manual that one ever needs..i was grinning so hard to keep from laughing...i fear that my reinstatement will be postponed unless i learn to develope a poker face..but,sheesh,its sooo stupid!!like being the only sane one in a group of mental institution patients..anyone see 'the king of hearts"? an old flick..reminds me of the meetings..
