  A true christian is someone who when given money to by someone else (for the purpose that he is a christian) turns around and immediately distributes it to those in need around him. Jesus was not a businessman, and did not need assets to preach his message.

  I agree Keyser. What christians or exJW don't realize when they do stuff like that is that it only reinforces their "thank god we have the truth" mentality.

  I really feel for you guys who were brought up to endure such BS. That's awful, really. Thanks for posting. I always thought those assemblies to be extremely boring, but now that I 've got a child's view of it. Torture is what comes to mind.

  Informal poll...Which Meeting was the most boring for you? Which one did you stop attending first?

  by mindmelda in

  for me, it was always the theocratic ministry school/field service meeting.. strangely, i never minded giving talks, because i always wanted to perform and have virtually no stage fright.

  but, listening to some of the deadly dull talks used to make me look at the clock a lot.

  i always felt sorry for some poor slob who had to give his first bible reading on something like job's daughters raping him after getting him drunk.. i swear i think our school overseer did it on purpose because he was a mean sob.. and, i hated field slavery as my parents became witnesses when i was about 12, never did get a good attitude about it.

  I think the watchtower was the worst, I couldn't wait for that final prayer that morning. I was in a small cong. so I usually had a part on tuesday night. I always tried to give my talks a twist to make them interesting. All in all, man those meetings were boring. All of them. I returned a few times afterwards but could never figure out why they never tried to make them interesting and mind provoking. The argument is that "we can't go too deep, what if there's a new one he wouldn't understand". So they get spoon feed just in case there's a new one there.

  well, kinda.

  i'll be moving across country in a few weeks and i want to get a different perspective on this religion.

  so i'm playing the theocratic warfare card, rather than let them know i was once a witness and now disfellowshipped, i'll just pretend to be interested and maybe accept a bible study..lol.

I want to see how it feels like to be love bombed, but also I really want to get the inside info on a few things I'm questionning. I've been away for a long time. I really want to see how much they have changed. I won't last long but it should be fun. I'll just have to stop going once they require I wear a suit and tie. I don't think I could handle that.

  I'll write a full report once I'm done..

  Are Any Of You Afraid of Dying At Armageddon?

  i'm not but i know some jws that have drifted but when things like 9/11 catastrophes occur, they're right back at the kingdom hall.. do you ever worry that the great tribulation might occur and you will die?.

  I remember the day that desert storm started in 1991. I really thought it was the beginning of the end, the fear was so bad that I felt like I had a knot in my stomach. I was actually sick. Of course I ran back to the KH but never got reinstated. I never returned because I always felt I was not good enough and I'd die anyway. They made me believe I was a bad person, which I'm not.

  Now, I don't feel god would kill me if the big A arrived, so I don't fear that anymore.

  and then the elder asks, "did you count yourselves?", they look at each other perplexed, confused, then answer "no". Then one of them says "great! now we have to start all over".

  so I ticked a professor off

  by John Doe in

  i missed the last two days of class, and did not email him before class telling him i was going to miss.

  evidently this was a requirement for the class.

  he emailed me today and told me i could not return to class until i meet with him and the school dean, and if i didn't do it by monday he was going to assign an f for the course.

  I'm in my third year right now. I usually avoid those professors and I make sure to know who they are. There are plenty that will work with you if you can show you'll meet the requirements on your own. I feel I'm an adult and I don't need to be treated like a high school student. Sometimes, if I think I have a grasp of the subject and I don't need additional information, I'd like to be able to decide if I'll be there or not. I'm the customer, I'm paying. I usually ask them, "when you go buy a car, do you let the salesman tell you how you should drive it?". At this point in time, I don't think you have a choice to follow through with his requirements. You could still drop, but you'll lose the money. Learn for the experience.
