i talked with my father in law yesterday... he is very much a simple minded man, deeply fanatical about the religion.. he said to me "you do have to realize that it's the truth, you see the truth never changes like other religions".

i wanted to vomit in my mouth, but i just remained silent, no need to draw undue attention to myself, or about my true feelings.

as far as anyones concerned i'm just inactive.. but i was on the tip of talking about many things that change, and if they change they say the light is getting brighter.

Hello!!

I like what blondie said. Abe Lincoln's quote is great.

Calling something the "truth" does not make it the truth. I always wondered, how can a person be in the "truth"?

The Day Has Arrived

by concerned x in

two months ago i stepped down as an elder in the cong, it was a tremdous relief although a shock to the cong.

two and a half days ago i sent in a letter of explaination concerning why i wanted to step down and why i will be absent from the kh.

it only took two and a half days for the accusation of apostasy to be made against me.

Why are congregations dissolved?

by mtsgrad in

only once in my life have i heard of a congregation being dissolved (closed down) for reasons of sin.. .

has anyone here heard of congs being closed down?

how often does it happen?

jimbo

A cong. near here disolved several years back. The WTBS sold the hall for a profit since land was donated and much of the materials too. All the labor was free. It was all paid for with local contributions.

The supposed reason was not enough people. The witnesses had to go elsewhere. The Tower pocketed a tidy sum and the old timers that invested so much lost out and had to travel a long way if they wanted to go to a hall. Bastards just looked at the demographics and could see that there was little money to be made from these people by keeping the Hall open.

Guess they needed the money for the world wide work. Maybe the money was needed to bolster their "PEDOPHILE PROTECTION PROGRAM".

She is not someone to make this up but I cannot find anything from their news desk. The news desk person said some afilliates vary in their news content.

I think she was listening to satellite radio.
