The German assembles had the best food ever. They made a real hot meal. Mashed potatos and gravy, wurst, salad and vegetables. There were even pictures of punch and plats of bread and butter on the tables. Mmmmmmmmmm!

Favorite food at Assemblies
by finnrot ini hated growing up as a witness.
i hated the boring ass meetings where you could hear a pin drop on the floor, i hated going door to door and i hated not being normal like the other kids.. but the one thing i liked was going to the assemlies at the oakland coliseum.
i would wander around and find other kids to goof around with.

No need to read COC etc to know its bull.
by sleepy indo you need to read coc or look on the interthingynet to know the "truth" is bull?.
i think not, but it will make it easier.. having more facts at your fingertips will help you make up your mind about the society , but really from reading the publictions yourself and looking at the congregations at what goes on should tell you its wrong.. i think theres a problem that a lot of people don't meditate enought and don't give themselves a well rounded knowledge of the world in general.. its understandable given that so much time is taken up with other things, many people are too tired to read alot or think deeply.. yet if you don't you are missing out.. you learn so much by reading rather than whatching tv or playing computer games.. reading a wide variety of books and meditating on things can help exercise you mind , helping it sort dodgy ideas from more sound ones.. i think we should learn from our time as witnesses and try to read more, and meditate on things, become a more rounded person.. it would be a shame if we had to rely soley on other people to mold the way we lead our lives.

You are right LDH - my reading COC made me realize that the doubts I was having were credible and that I was not alone. I remember the days when they taught that the WY was actually inspired by God just as the Bible was and I always wondered how inspiration from God could be so confusing and make so many mistakes. Then they changed that and admitted that the WT was just written by men who were chosen by God and so it was not actually inspired by God. One of the things that always had me puzzled was their insistence that JW had the only true religion, that only JW's would be saved at Armageddon and only JW's had God's approval. That dismissed a lot of strong, hard working, God fearing people. It just did not make sense.

Movie that could describe your experience as a jw?
by Nicolas inpersonnally, i thing that the movie "the matrix" and the movie "the truman show" really describe my experience in the wbts.
when i discovered the truth about the "truth", my perception of the reality became really different.
all that i have been taught was just a big lie.

I have always absolutely believed that no matter what some people learn about the organization, its history and its teachings, they just do not care and will never leave the JWs because the organization fills some void in them and they actually NEED to belong. Thank you YoYoMama for making my point. I wish you well.

Death and Forgiveness
by Mommie Dark inmy father died wednesday night.
he's been bedridden, paralyzed, and tube fed for nearly five years, so it was more release than tragedy.. those of you who know my story will understand the miserable mix of emotions his passing has caused.
the whole guilt and forgiveness issue shoved itself right up my nose into my forebrain.

The struggle to come.
by refiners fire inwell, i expect this place will explode today.. and, frankly, im only posting this to assist simon.. some people here, think that there should be a position that there are no rules.
and that anybody can post anything they want.
even if it hurts people.in fact, so far, this has been the case.. and some people think that ,because it has been a free for all so far, a precedent has been set, and thus, it cannot be changed.. at the other polar extreme there is the terror of being on a moderated board.

Scriptures JWs Would Prefer to Ignore
by Room 215 inhere are my nominations for scripture jws would like to see go away.
in all cases they're reduced to the ``yes, but'' defense; i.e.
john 14:2-- ``in my father's house are many mansions.".

Gee, it looks fabulous. I've been looking for a place to go on vacation this summer and I have never been to Hawaii. Your picture makes me want to go and see the beauty of Maui for myself. Thanks.
