MegaFlower, Welcome, it's OK to be pissed.I am constantly pissed, You will get many different views here that vary tremendously, Misconstrued sometimes is an understatement or bold can be an overstatement, Some drive by and shout out the car window others stand in the middle of the street. Some keep there mouths shut which is something I say to myself sometimes when I hit send. One thing is I feel good sometimes also. As long as you reply or post or start a new topic or butt into someone else's, you must say what you feel and now believe. When people pray before they eat I understand and can reason that that's what they believe. Exiting the Watchtower mess isn't easy, Some of us see thing's much different now as far as invisible Beings noticing prayer or thanking our employer's for giving us jobs so we can have that food on that table for our families. Whatever you say or now think is OK and helps with healing. If I offend people the first person I forgive is myself. Live Free or die.

47praying before a meal
by megaflower ini have stopped.
it brings up too many memorys of having some elder pray for the cong before we partook of any food.
it just seemd like a big production, all would gather around and bow heads in silence while some senior male gave thanks- no more- no thanks

What about all the starving children in Africa ? Think they pray for food and wonder why God has forgot about them ? Oh, but that is Satan's fault, I forgot.
Praying is a form of OCD. Just eat.

Like those who would pray extra long in restaurants just to be seen. How pathetic it was to watch, Some would even look around after to see who noticed.

Tom needs a smack , The Easter thing is typical JW style, Stand fast to your beliefs unless there is someway to benefit. In Bob's kids case ,it just happens to be candy.
Bob's story is nothing new. Hope he learns how to cope.

What benifit did association with the UN really have ? Was it only to have access to the DPI.
If it was spritual warfare, like some claim. Wouldn't it have been smarter just to tell the members about the NGO status ? So it didn't make them look like freakin idots after 10 years of withholding the truth or should I say avoiding . The letter on the UN website clearly states what was required of ALL NGO's back in 1992.
What the hell were they thinking ? Sorry, That's has nothing to do humans not being perfect, like some claim but rather just ignorant. ( Like the Creator of the Universe is guiding these bone heads ) Yeah Right !!

Can you believe it ? I would love to see how many rich Witnesses leave their money to the Watchtower, They (Brooklyn) have it covered , just in case someone has that kind of money that it wouldn't be in the kingdoms best interest to build schools or parks or something just to help humanity, but rather " Give it to us" , "We wouldn't squander it like your worldly relatives would." You would be making friends with the world if you put your name on a library and it would be a form of idolatry." Send check to:The CONTROL FREAKS WHO KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WITH YOUR MONEY BETTER THEN YOU DO MORONS IN THE STAR CHAMBER @ BROOKLYN BETHEL.

Dressing up is nothing new if you go to one of the torture factories. I went to the farms once and this chick was with a dress on cleaning, gloves on and all. She did not look happy but that place was clean. That place seemed like a prison. The one guy I was with knew this one inmate and he showed us his cell. There he live with 3 others and that shit was tiny. He said it was only temporary because the place was "under expansion." One of his cell mates didn't even sleep in a bed. When you talk temporary and expansion of facilities, That's at least 6 months. The dude was like "I don't mind it , I like to sleep on the floor anyway." I wonder how his back turned out ? I know the Farms turned out OK.

Hello, I'm new...
by IcingHeart ini just joined this forum today after reading the comments on today's watchtower (which i have to attend in about an hour unfortunately).
i was raised in "the truth" and it was only recently that i began to listen to a close friend of mine as he pointed out the secrets and lies that is the watchtower society and governing body.
even though he was informing me for almost a year, he never gave up on me.

Agreed Lesterd, If your not careful you could stab with your words or be stabbed from others words. Some are just misconstrued .
