how many times does this happen?
this question just popped in my head while reading the thread about being disfellowshipped.. disfellowshipping is harsh, but to do this to a kid??
kids make mistakes.
When JWs find out that I didn't get baptized until my senior year of high school they always asked me what took me so long since I raised in "the truth"
Yeah, I had to deal with that stupidity as well. After being baptized at 21 (under coercion nonetheless), an elder with his nose in the air remarked ..."well it's about time!"
my super power is that i can size people up rather quickly.
i also am the one even people i hardly know come to for advice because i can usually figure out exactly what to do in any difficult situation.. .
i like my super power.
I can make cash and chocolate disappear like magic!
for me, it was a combination of things over a long period of time.

how about you?
I just couldn't handle the constant misapplication of scripture to serve the Society's hidden agenda.
Two exampes:
1. Faith without works is dead. Why is "works"equated with field service?
2. How is Onan's example relevant to masturbation?
i know this one brother who misses loads of meetings, yet when he talks, he sounds very zealous about preaching and finding interested ones.. i can't quite wrap my mind over this - how can you be zealous for service yet hardly turn up at the hall?.
I can't quite wrap my mind over this - how can you be zealous for service yet hardly turn up at the hall?
Maybe all that "zeal" was simply a smoke screen for lack of interest. I mean, what proof was there he went out in field service anyway?
I think there probably were individuals like this in my hall ... but I was too busy missing meetings and field service to notice.
as a kid.that was my dream.. .
what was yours?

i always wondered about the africans using the drum beats to have wierd sex rituals......... were you ever told this as an excuse not to dance ?
Yes, but never took it seriously.
the author (from australia) makes some great points.. http://www.noelbatten.com/watchtower.pdf.
46 pages long.
some excerpts:.
I noticed they were unknowingly using a form of direct clinical hypnosis on me, introduced through their study magazines ... using it on me “to give me phobias about life outside the Watchtower
movement” and for blood transfusion
Couldn't have said it better ... phobias about life outside the Watchtower movement ... that's exactly what JW's have. No wonder they have something against further education ... no hypnosis there!
