Thanks Blondie; that's the way to get refreshed, out in the open air in the wild!
Not stuck in a lousy miserable kingdom hall.

PS An extreme sport is 'Bungie Jumping', quote from a CO
this journal is for jehovahs witnesses throughout the whole of the earth,whether active or inactive, it will be beneficial for everyone associated with the organisation today.
firstly let tell you a little about myself, i have been totally involved with the society since 1967, and a pioneer for many years, giving 100 hours each month, service to my god.
i was concerned when i read your watchtower of june 15th 2009, where it finally admitted the governing body represents the faithful and discreet slave class.
Bible Brain,
I realise you are having some problems; BUT what exactly is your point in simple terms?
AND, Why is this posted under Child Abuse? Does it have anything to do with Child Abuse?
it's one thing to read about this on paper.
but it really hits home after you've experienced it numerous times!
this is a real thing, and it's quite startling to find such an abundance of lying in 'the truth'!!
It is so refreshing to hear this from others!
I always thought the elders and above were paragons of virtue and no lie would ever pass their lips! How wrong I was; In 2005 two elders visited and told me certain things which I was certain were totally wrong; I have now proved that they lied and they are now lying to cover their A***S. They have actually now lied about their own organisation! Nothing is beyond them and because 'they have jehovah's spirit' they will stop at nothing.
When I downloaded material from jw-media.org and showed them, they said I had fabricated it and anyway jw-media was an apostate website!
so, i had a witness patient this week at work and she had a new watchtower.
i didn't catch the date but i think it was called 'why do people do bad shit' or something similar.
i was kind of leafing through it in an attempt to make myself just as nauseous as my patient and they had an article on 'do real christians need to confess?

You just don't know what you are all going to miss when the NEW world arrives after Armageddon!
AND remember it is only just around the corner; any day now.
would anyone out there like to correspond with a 46 year old afro american witness who is serving a long term prison sentence in the us?
he would really like someone to write to him.
prison is a lonely place - fortunately he has his belief to keep him strong..
What exactly is his standing within the WTBTS?
Is he being visited and supplied with mags and books by the local cong?
these are the details of my disfellowshipping.
the names and locations have been changed to protect the innocent and the guilty.
my errors are not hidden in an attempt to make me look better, this simply is a presentation of the facts that led up to the disfellowshipping and a re-telling of the contents of the meeting.. .
Many thanks for sharing your experience, it is very thought provoking!
to anyone who's interested, i got my hands on an english version of "organized to do jehovah's will" (from a spanish cong.
) and i'm willing to scan sections from it to those who don't have the book.
i searched around and the chapters are listed in a topic made about 5 years ago when the book first came out.
i was just talking to a guy who's been df'd for years and he still talks about things like it was yesterday in watchtowerland.. are you still consumed by your jw past?.
YES, and I don't think I will ever stop! But my wife is still a very active witness.
I am preached to and at quite regularly.
said one of the 2 elders to me when i had to talk with them at the 'back room'.
"i will never forget these words.
"we" excludes god right?.
*** w88 11/15 pp. 18-19 par. 17 Helping Others to Worship God ***
17 The elders are responsible to ‘shepherd the flock of God in their care.’ (1 Peter 5:2) If two elders offering help determine that an unbaptized wrongdoer is unrepentant and unqualified to be a publisher, they will inform the individual. Or if some unbaptized one tells the elders that he no longer wishes to be recognized as a publisher, they will accept his decision. In either case, it is appropriate for the Congregation Service Committee to have a simple announcement made at an appropriate time, saying:
“ . . . is no longer a publisher of the good news.”
They do not mention baptized or unbaptized.
