Terrible Analogy at a Convention
by ApostateDance ini'd love to know what you guys think of this.
brother jackson (from the governing body) had this "neat" analogy at the very end of the convention.
he said; "what if you were watching a football game on tv, and it was the trojans against the fighting irish, and it's been a good game.

The problem is, they don't know who is carrying the ball. Is it the generation that was alive and at an age of understanding in 1914, the generation that was alive, the generation that doesn't know Jesus, or the overlapping generation?
The players are running -forward, then going back, then passing left and right, going in circles...no wonder they can't get near the goal!

It does happen. I read a "story" by a new poster, and something sounded familiar..I PM'd him, and turns out knew him and his family very well. He is the only one of his family that is out, but so happy for him.

What is the book of Jasher? I've never heard of it. It sounds like it must parallel the Bible?

I need help! i am in social limbo!
by Free!! ini was wondering if some of you can give me some advice in how to get over the fact that i feel so inadequate when trying to make new friends!!
since i left the borg i have only made about 2-3 close friends... the wts ruined my social skills and i am so depressed because i am afraid of the real world... i know i am ready to move on... but i dont know how.. i feel like i dont belong in there but i dont belong out here either... i am in social limbo.. and it sucks to have no friends.. .
when i was in i hated the weekends because i was basically forced to go to service, now i hate the weekends because if the few friends i have are busy w their families or partners i am stuck all by myself... :( please give me some pointers i feel super lonely!

Also, give yourself some time.
I felt the same way at first; it has been six years now, and I am getting more comfortable with the people that I do interract with.
Also, don't overlook the value of a healthy walk and speaking to all you see as you go around. Slowly you'll have more social exchanges with people.

Hi, Newbie Here
by Iseenow inwell i have been lurking for the past couple of weeks and have finally decided to create an account.
just wanted to introduce myself and relate my life story in the borg, specifically from the past few weeks- which i think has been a lot easier than many on the board.
anyway, my mum began to study when i was 10 (2005) and since then has been babtized; she strongly believes it is the truth.

Welcome.
Yes, as others have noted, time is on your side. Do not be made to feel guilty for not getting baptised; if you have questions, then by all means continue asking them. Once a person is baptised, they are not allowed to question! I was "in" for over thirty years and never completed my education. What I wouldn't give to have those years back.
You have so much to look forward to in life-first and foremost your education, then perhaps work in a field that interests you. Please continue on your good course.

Disfellowshipped a threat?
by truthseeker1969 insooooooooooooooooooooo would i be right in assuming that the sitting at the back of the hall, no contact, no answering mean that the spirituality of the congregation is not that strong?.
to me it would seem that elders are scared that a disfellowshipped person is more strong in reasoning and knowledge than the rank and file of the congregation.. i wonder how many elders are "infected" by the disfellowshipped person but are so caught up in being an under lord they just carry on?
i wonder how many within the congreation are sick of elders throwing people out for free thinking?.

Welcome.
You've had a hard life and I'm so sorry. You never really had a childhood. It seems like your parents would take into consideration that they were horrible role models for you as you were growing up, feel grateful that you did so much for your siblings, and want good things for you.
Well, I want good things for you. I am encouraged that you want to go to school. You will feel a great sense of accomplishment, and have so many more choices in life.
It seems like so many people have life problems, but then when they become Witnessess they go way too much the opposite way.
Please let us know how things progress for you.
