  Were you 'alive in '75' and how was that year for you?

  by punkofnice in

  i was a junior borgite in 1975. i remeber looking at the calendar at work in october and thinking: 'armageddon isn't here yet.....and it doesn't feel like it will be here anytime soon either!'.

  i was surprised that jehovah hadn't obeyed the superior command to bring the big 'a' as instructed to him by fred franz.

  how dare god disobey the jw leader!!!!!.

  On the front page, the question about Marital Status... I've never seen an application that had 'Pursuing a Courtship' as an option~!!

  That's kind of funny - in a very sad, sad way.

  Thanks everyone!

  i would like to thank all of the posters to this board.

  had i not stumbled upon here, i may never have been armed with the courage and information i needed to stand up for myself and leave this religion.. i'd probably still be going to meetings, giving talks on the service meeting, public talks, going out in field service.

  i might even have been guilted into going off to mts within the next year... yikes!.

  It's a very mixed crowd. Some disgruntled. Some Disfellowshipped. Some Disassociated. Some currently active (even elders~!) - but no longer believe the org is 'Jehovah's sole channel of communication'. Some are still pretty die-hard (apologetics). Some are dating a witness. Some are just here because they like us.

  Welcome to our little corner of cyber-space. It really is a good place to be. Most will identify with your JW 'issues'. Some will challenge you, but that's OK, too.

  Nice to have you join us.

  I personally have not but I think that often their response comes to you via the local elder body.

  i have had it with my mother.

  i've spoken on the board before about her.

  she is fanatically religious, often keeps me on the phone for hours while she talks endlessly about the bible.

  I told my mom not to call me if she was going to count the call as service time.

  Haven't heard from her in five years.
