Having One Of Those "Pondering Disassociation" Days :(

by freemindfade in

there are a lot of things that make me have days like this, the utter embarrassment of being are part of a cult that protects child abusers, that enforces emotional brutality through shunning, and that lies constantly.

the lying i can tolerate, the world is built on bullshit, i have a high lie tolerance.

i can ignore it if it has no effect on me etc.

I'm going through this daily brother and wonder if I should go out with a BANG or a whimper. The very reason I want out is the hypocrisy so why beat around the bush eh ? I'm single and it wouldn't affect me that much, have no family JW connections what so ever but a buddy of mine reminds me that fading lets me talk to those still in. But then again it's not my goal to hurt or pull people out unless they come to me for support. Decisions.

Hope it works out for you one day at a time. Start fast walking then slow jog if you can, every other day to being with, really helped me burn off the stress, I'm the emotional type.

JW to SDA anyone do it ?

by Introvert 2 in

a couple friends pointed me to some info on the sabbath and i just plain like it, being the workaholic i am it's a lifesaver for me and gives me the motivation to be more balanced about my business and work schedule.

so from there i looked into the adventists and found a hall near my place and went last week.

i honestly enjoyed myself and the meeting time is not disruptive and the people were great and pretty laid back.

Pretty cool Barry thanks for your insight. I'll go back Saturday, gives me a day off to look forward to otherwise I end up at the shop always something to do. This way I get to stay home and pet the cat.

Anyone thought of this before ?? hahaha

Worldly people got no reason
Worldly people got no reason
Worldly people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no worldly people
Don't want no worldly people
Don't want no worldly people
Round here

Worldly people are just the same
As you and I
( a fool such as I )
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(it's a wonderful world)

Worldly people got nobody
Worldly people got nobody
Worldly people got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no worldly people
Don't want no worldly people
Don't want no worldly people
'round here

It is my understanding that the JW history is based loosely on the SDA faith. Kinda an offshoot after the Judge heard an SDA minister (Wendell Jones I believe} and liked what he heard.

As far as there not being a real truth, I would disagree. Jesus did start a church some 2000 years ago or so.

just saying

Yes I agree, was referring to organizations and doctrines.

Wasanelder once : LOL haha !

Hi all,

A couple friends pointed me to some info on the Sabbath and I just plain like it, being the workaholic I am it's a lifesaver for me and gives me the motivation to be more balanced about my business and work schedule. So from there I looked into the Adventists and found a hall near my place and went last week. I honestly enjoyed myself and the meeting time is not disruptive and the people were great and pretty laid back. But one thing is for sure if they offer me a study I'll decline for now and just have fun attending and get to meet new people. The teachings are close to what I know and they use Jehovah's name in prayer, seem balanced and have a holistic approach to health which I appreciate as I train. So was wondering if anyone here has experienced anything like this ?

There is no one truth in my opinion so it's always going to be a tradeoff but I just want to be able to be part of a group that uses the Bible and worships honestly. They are Trinitarian, I am not so there may be issues down the road and kind of want to now what to expect if anything.

Will the resurrected marry/have children?

by davidmitchell in

i have just finished reading 'brock talon's' two books.

in one of them, entitled journey to god's house, pub.

he comments on how the wt's pictures of the post-armageddon world do not agree with their doctrines, namely that those who are physically resurrected will not marry/have children.

Introvert 2

Hey Brock, BIG TEX is the man ! haha !

Good thread, funny on the Canadian convention, I guess they value their personal space. Maybe a case of halitosis from not brushing after a couple thousand years ? Just kidding, sad that they go on like that, weird.

Can You Really Become Inactive Instead of DA'ing and Keep Your Family

by truth-or-consequences in

oz branch coordinator terrence o'brien opined a number of times at about 1:00:00 until about 1:15:00 of his testimony, that a dub does not need to da, they can become "inactive.".

i sent our beloved angus stewart my personal experience, as well as observations about official borg teachings.

(he replied in short order.).

Introvert 2

Been inactive since '10 on account of a major burnout and the get well soon visits have tapered off to nothing, which suits me fine. Basically people would drop in while in service and check out my messy house ( used to be real tight before the burnout ) and suspect this gives them fuel for gossip. So basically the French language bros stay away from me and I view this asa positive. I'm going to a handful of English meetings on Sundays and that is all I care or am able to do at this moment. I prefer staying home and doing personal study / research. The difference in attitude I get between French / English in these parts is huge.
