When Did You Start Feeling Uncomfortable In The Truth?

by The wanderer in

when did you start feeling uncomfortable in the truth?it started out for me by asking questions out of curiosity, which eventually led me.

out of the organization.

my history as a jehovahs witness could easily be summed .

I was a nine year old pistol of a kid who liked to question things a lot even though I really believed and loved Jehovah. The CO visit was coming up and my mom took me and all of my brothers to get our hair cut. I thought to myself,..."why are we going these lengths to impress someone we don't even really know." The CO's visit came and after the meeting he was standing at the door and saying hello/goodbye to those heading out the door. I walked up to him and he said, "looks like someone needs a haircut." That's it. Nothing else. I was so pissed. The entire ride home I was absolutely livid and vented to my mom and dad all the way home. "He didn't even ask me my name or introduce himself to me." "He doesn't know me and all he is interested in is critiquing my haircut." He made me feel like I, as a young human being, wasn't worth an introduction or even a handshake. My mom finally had it with my anger and venting and basically told me there is no need to question so much. I'll never forget that Sunday.

hey all,.

no pressure, no guilt, but for those of you who can, and those who feel like they would like to make a difference for someone special on this board (aka "family" to many of you), could you please consider helping a 'sister' in real need?

flyinghighnow needs some short-term help financially.

Could someone PM me with the appropriate info. I prefer paypal so all i need is an email address.

LOST spoiler questions??

by Bob Loblaw in

why did charlie have to die?

why couldn't he have swam out of that window?

he was such a good character.

Bob Loblaw

Ok, I retract my statement. Jack stumbles upon someone's obit and he's visually upset. He's emotional. I don't think he would be emotional over Ben's death. In fact, he said he was going to kill him himself. What about Locke though,...or maybe Juliet?

Skully, I agree,...it was probably Ben's viewing. So apparently Kate and Sawyer are still together in the states. I have to say Kate was looking mighty fine in that last scene.

Why did Charlie have to die? Why couldn't he have swam out of that window? He was such a good character. ...and whose funeral did Jack go to? ...and apparently the flashback wasn't a flashback. They got off the island?

Hard line stance taken-results are in!

by dawg in

i recently wrote a letter to every family member i could find an address to which exposed the wt org as the group of fools they actually are!

interesting thing is that not one letter was sent to my home congregation by anyone and the letter circulated to almost every family member i have; so instead of turning me in as i suspected they would do, they are talking about it openly and distributing it to all family members-even ones i couldn't find an address to.

i'm winning this war!

Bob Loblaw

Good work Dawg,

After 15 yrs of not having any kind of relationship with my family,...I've been doing the same thing. I'm behind this action 100%.

I also feel that it can be effective. I have nothing to lose.

Conversation with a JW

i saw your email address on the post about the arson at your church.

i was wondering if you could answer some questions about your church?

Bob Loblaw

When someone seeks to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses, the only concern is whether that person has an accurate knowledge of the bible, and of what it means to be baptized.

Boroean,

I think the whole point is the above comment by the JW person. If a person claims to be in "the one true religion" or god's sole spirit directed channel on this earth then that person should want to TRY to answer questions.

Of course vanilla believes otherwise and is attempting to get this person to become a "free thinker" by asking tough questions. These questions might actually cause a JW to do some thinking on their own outside of WTS mind control.

The JW should not be offended by such questions, afterall, they hold "accurate knowledge",...or "the truth" and should want to share it with anyway they can.

What happens though?,...tough questions are asked,...the JW gets offended and says you need to contact a Kingdom Hall and start a bible study, please don't contact me anymore!

Notice that vanilla's personal bible study and church isn't enough.

They only way people come into the JW religion (besides born into) and have "their heart opened by Jehovah" is through indoctrination and mind control starting with the "bible studies",...which aren't bible studies at all. They are studies in JW literature. Indoctrination begins here and the mind control continues once "the study" begins going to meetings.

There is nothing wrong with asking questions and there is nothing wrong with vanilla trying to open this person's mind a bit.
