I also recomend you find one or more ex-jw's in your area to at least stay in touch with if you haven't already. Speaking from experience, it really helps.

Steve Bates Tablet Article on UN/WTS - Scan Copy

by hawkaw in

i thought i would give the public the original article so you can use it for those jws who don't like internet.

just move the mouse onto the image, right click and then save to your harddrive.

then open it up in any graphics or word processing software.. .

JWs and grasping at straws

by target in

i had a phone call from a die hard jw friend from back in wisconsin.

i had told her recently about the un thing.

she just knew there had to be some logical explanation.

Gopher is right---

and MA, I can't help you either. We all may have to just wait for dateline---hundreds of convicted child molesters knocking on people's doors will probably raise a ruckus even WE might not be prepared for!!!

Pioneering

by ItsJustMe in

just out of curiosity, was anyone here ever a pioneer?

what motivated you to pioneer?

what made you get off the list?

I was so afraid of failure that I put in the pioneer hours without signing up for the list--an idea I got from some sisters in another Hall. I remember how proud I was for getting in my hours early and getting a few 'days off' at the end of the month.

I didn't have a car,and there were some other brothers and sisters in my Hall and some other Halls that didn't ahve cars, and little by little, just like LDH we all stopped going by the Kingdom Hall and started meeting for and going out in service by ourselves. That started a big war between the elder bodies of all the differesnt congregations because some of the elders supported our endeavers and some were really mad at us for not succumbing to Theocratic Order.

That lasted for a year. Then I got disfellowshipped --that story's in another post. I know at least one other of my 'group'is not a Witness anymore.

I too, bought into the 'last days' thing and thought I was rescuing people and saving lives. I would have been doing those people a big favor just to have left them alone and painted orange stripes on white baby seals.

<sigh>

hugs to all of you on this thread.

Car Group Visited Today

by LB in

just when i thought i was almost over being angry my "brothers" got my blood going again.

my wife and i were polite, saying at first it was good to see them after so long and the first thing the elder in the group said was..."well you know where to find us, at the kingdom hall.

" well normally i'm fairly mild mannered, but, that just got under my skin.

hi LB--welcome to the board.

The good old days, when I trudged door-to-door thinking that I was in 'bible education' work...

You gotta wonder if 'Judge Dread' Rutherford was one of the angriest people to ever walk this earth.
