we're talking about a "supreme being" who hates a lot, is violent and vindictive, fascist, any "love" is totally conditional, plays mean mind games (sacrifice your son for me)....he probably oughta be locked up!

Hmm, maybe this is a bit of projection, but at times I think Jehovah is a closet case. Narcicist, homophobic, unable to make up his mind and stick to something, in the heavens with men, making man first and foremost...
I bet if Jehovah just admitted it, and threw his golden heels up in the air and had himself a nice time... I don't know.
i went to the grocery store today - no that's not your fault.. it's 103 degrees today, not bad.
there were three people sitting in the shade in front of the grocery store.
there was a middle aged woman, an older man in a wheelchair, and a thin man whose frozen smile screams "elder.
I think I'm in love with you.
i used to read the old h2o site and i believe they brought up that this place was up......either that or i typed in jws on search.
You know, I remember the old H20 site some have mentioned and it was the first Ex-Jw site I was on. i was about13, 14 or 15 and still kinda believing but scared because something was not right with me but I didn't want to admit what it was....
So anyways, i was a total JW apologist and i posted something about all those mean people saying horrible things about the amazing witnesses, and how they were just bitter people that needed Jehovah.
LOL. Yeah, they tore me a new one.
Well anyways, i've been to this site a number of times and would read topics in the Bible Research thread, but I figured they were just "wrong" though the truth was they were waaay over my head and I was comfortable with the WTS copy&paste version of reality and the bible. I was on Thoms board for a while, but that was for folks who had already deal with their drama basically, so i was referred to JWD. its only been within the last year that this site has become a major part of my life. it's like, I HAVE to check it now, even for the silly threads.
they say that our spiritual food is sooo refreshing!
it's "just what we needed"!.
how did you feel after going out in the ministry or after a meeting?.
In the last minutes of field service or a meeting, these days its almost as if i can't breathe until i get in my car and drive away.
I think its a new illness called Bullsh*t-Induced Asthma.
Born again-atheist, I Like that.
Welcome Awakened07!
i just found out about an hour ago.
he wasn't even old enough to drink yet.. to make it even sh*ttier, he had called me a few weeks ago and asked if he could come out here with me but i couldn't do it at the time.
so of course the first thing that comes to mind is if i had done something different it wouldn't have happened.. he was going through the sh*t as i call it, when witnesses go off the deep end and get into everything in the world to stop hurting and they don't even know what is wrong.
I am so sorry WLG. I can't imagine the pain you are going through right now losing your younger sibling. It's easy to say that you can't blame yourself but as you are older one, I understand that sometimes its hard not to. With time I just hope you understand that you were just limited like every other human is, like he was in trying to deal with his pain. You cannot predict the future I hope you can forgive yourself for that because in a time like this people blame themselves for not having that ability. I wish I could reach out and give you a real hug man.
((((WLG))))
Hmm, okay if I'm in a hetero mood, I really love a woman with a shape, one that when she moves, its like... music, you know. I don't mind skinny women at all, but god.. I love me some hips. And a nice chest. Also, having a nice butt also helps. And since I'm black yeah, Janet jackson booty circa 91 or j.lo circa early nineties (when she was a back up dancer on in Living Color- she had an amazing a$$). Hair, usually long and if I'm dating someone not black then, dark hair or red hair since blondes do nothing for me for some reason. Jet black hair or bright vibrant red hair really will draw me.
On a guy though... yeah again having a nice butt helps. I'm not that tall myself, so no one over 6'1 cause dammit that would just be weird to me, like having to jump for a kiss or having the beanstalk Giant bnd down to give me a kiss like i'm his son or something... no, that's okay. But then at 5'8 I don't feel like being the "tall" one in the relationship either so anyone less that 5'5 I just don't know. yes, i do.. hell no! Muscular, as skinny doesn't do it for me for some reason- maybe bcause I'm kinda skinny.*shrugs* As to the face, I can deal with a pretty boy but not too pretty- not because I'm all masculine and can't stand someone being superficial or anything... its because I don't want someone prettier than myself since I'm superficial. Duh. You know what does it for me though, a strong face, like very nice cheek bones, strong jaw and all that stuff- i have no idea what I'm saying.
Personality wise, I'm into jacka$$es, someone to make me go, "I can't believe you could say that! You are horrible!" because I'm really well-reserved, the polite one, and I need someone on the opposite end to balance me out at times. Nice gals/guys can't do it for me since hell... I'm one of them. Or I like to think i am.
it happens every summer.
the family will be in a nice routine, going out a reasonable amount in service and having normal life.
then there is an a$$embly, and then everything locks down.
I collected comic books since I was... 11, or 10. I had so many damn comic books, you know? I figured they were safe, they were cartoons. Then, after one damn talk from a brother, my mother and grandmother went through all of my stuff. And they tossed it out- no wait, they made ME toss it out.
Do you know the feeling of making a really geeky socially awkward kid who had been collecting comics for years- throw his own collection into the garbage. I cried. i felt like a loser for crying, but that was mine, you know? i was so proud of my collection.
And I never collected another comic again- I have a few spare i have , just to see whose dead or crazy now and then, but the joy had never been recaptured.
God, I can't believe I forgot about that- i just blocked it out and swallowed the same bile. "Demons are in the house and its because of the comics... Satan is inside of them."
Actually Satan did make a guest star in one of them, but just one damn issue out of hundreds of comics!
Thanks to my ipod, my mother can't really go through my music anymore, but before- yeah she would check out my cds and get rid of anything demonic or demand I tear of covers and stuff.
in this organization, how can any witness express their disapproval of anything?
the society has.
even stooped so low as to disfellowship people who disagree with the fact of other people being .
Leave it to sw29 to bring in the nasty, but take your rebellion by the hand!
And you know exactly what I mean too . And just when you are at your peak shout out that this is your (insert name of member... maybe you call it Stan or Shelley) and that no Watchtower or Awake can tell you what to do with it!
I swear i felt my most rebellious giving comments and moving about the kingdum hall without any guilt of my self-love. Sometimes i'd do it just before a meeting just to shake off the edge. I mean I def. wasn't feeling the love of the congregation so...
again, I took matters in my own hands. And so should you.
has anyone heard any announcement to this effect?
could it be true?
no more jw knocking at our doors?
LOL! Yeah i agree with Dragonlady, this is what makes Witnesses have like Biblegasms- that they are "the only people in the whole world" that go dooor-to-door. They CAN'T lose it. Them giving it up would mean the whole religion falling to pieces.
