  Open Letter To The Society

  dear brothers,.

  you might want to consider this letter in the 'questions from readers' section of the watchtower.. my question is this: i would like to join the catholic church and at the same time keep my standing and position in the congregation!

  the reason being is that i have heard that the vatican has a very good and complete library which i would like to avail myself of.

  What Kinds of Weird Things were you banned from or not allowed as a child?

  i could not have a big new kids on the block pin, or wear any new kids on the block pins in puplic becuase it was considered idolatry.

  i also could not wear my shoes without laces (it was cool back then) because it looked wordly.

  what other strange theings besides the usual holiday/birthday stuff weren't you allowed to do?

  Did Leaving the Organization Make you Feel *Alive*?

  by Mysterious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you have moments after you left the organization when you felt alive for the first time?

  when you realized that you had just been drudging around with your head down, enduring rather than living.

  when that huge burden was lifted from your shoulders and you saw the world not for the place of darkness and pain that the witnesses made it out to be but for all the wonder in it?

  When I was a teen and could choose my own music I loved ELO, early Queen, early Genesis, Jimi, Janis, Marillion, Jethro Tull and Led Zep

  All great stuff. I would also add the Doors, Sex Pistols, Clash, Neil Young, CTA, Steely Dan, I guess I could go on....

  I AM SUCH A KLUTZ! Hello!

  by Geronimo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been lurking here and reading for a couple of months now.

  i was also a jw for a few years but got myself dfed when i started asking difficult questions, wouldn't stop asking them, and kept pointing out how the wts didn't make any sense.

  i am an unrepentent rebellious one who was warned and publically reproved until finally i finally had it out with the elders and they showed me the door.

  Name Things JWs Try To "Demonize"

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the witnesses are always trying to scare the faithful by telling them that if they don't adhere to the teachings and lifestyle of the brotherhood-----that bad things are going to happen to them.

  for example, they might tell you of brother regret who left the "truth", had "fun" in the "world" and then got aids.

  now he's back in the "truth" but he only has months to live................can you think of other examples of how the witnesses try to spook the rank and file?

  And yet the Society or local KHs would have no problem buying an old church and converting it for their own use.

  Hell, they converted an old masonic temple in Paterson, NJ.

  It sounds like they are just getting worse and worse! How do they keep anybody?

  I don't know how long you have been out, but I can assure you, it has become much worse. People are burnt out with this kind of stuff. I've said this before, if org keeps up the way they are controlling people, it will implode on iteslf. They won't need anyone to take them down.
