Wasn't the guys name Hank? I think the thread you want was called..I am off to see Hank?
i crossed the border and drove into the us yesterday, and here are a few questions he asked me.. the first question he asked me was, what's your nationality.....thats sounds normal.
then he asked, where are you going?
wisconsin i said.
Did they look for bottled water?? Good thing you didn't say yes!!
so today i took a little time to go through the house and throw away all of my jw literature and old magazines.
you would not believe the number of watchtowers and awakes in this house!!!
they are freakin everywhere and seem to be reproducing!
Hey hey be careful when disposing of the mags...everybody knows the garbage men become witnesses!
Happy Birthday to you!! Ah seems like just yesterday i was 25..it's a fun age!! May all your b-day wishes come true!
is it evil to wish someone dead??.
even if they are not a bad person but................ will karma pay me back?.
yes this is all about me.....................................will i be paid back for wishing?.
Hummm...I don't know...tell us more.
why is it that when ever you would leave the meetings any earlier then when they were all done...did you feel like everyone was watching you or even sometimes guilty?
sometimes, i would leave at 'halftime' (at the second song) either to go to work or just because i was having trouble dealing with the b.s.
and of course everyone was nosey and would ask my elder dad after the meetings where i went as though i was off to commit some horrible crime.

Now, I don't think this is normal religious or christian behavior...(or does it happen at other churces?) Must you sit through the whole stinking thing to be saved from the big A?
i've been reading some sad experinces here... i dont see anyone talking about the bible... only how misserables the organization made their lives... ok ...so because of that...now i have permission to smoke marijuana and commit fornication?
this sounds pretty much like aa... and everybody having his/her personal "superior power" who is giving them the permit to do whatever they want...
i've been df for 4 years now and also dont agree with some jw teachings... why instead of blaming the wt for everything dont we look for the real truth in the bible and make things right.
Ahh..what can I say that hasn't already been said by these horrible evil apostates? Come on man, really! Do you really think that God loves a person soley based on how many or should I say how few sins a person commits? Call me crazy but I think you and I and all of us on here that were JW's were taught the WRONG things about what love is. Beleive it or not you are in the same boat as most of us on here many too were disfellowshipped. So, I think it is very rude but Jw of you to assume or judge anyone you do not know!! Why don't you start reading the bible for yourself perhaps 1 Cor is a good start? It talks alot about what love is...infact a whole lot of the bible does. Best of luck to you anyway.
after reading the stories concerning the 7/7 bombings,i wonder how many heard unbelieveable stories at convention and other meetings?
oooh ah I heard that the Jehovahs witness have the truth!
i've been on plenty of jcs but i never was the target of the elders, judicially.....although i would be now.
Of course I have been...all the kids are doing it!!
Hey, I even lied (thank God) and they believed me.. I think I should have won an emmy...but of course when you are before a JC only there are only 2 things that will be the outcome...mine : Reproved. Ahhh shucks! I wish now that I would have been disfellowshipped and told them where to go!
