Black sheep of the family-my life as an ExJW
by bsand20 ini was a 3rd generation jw, half the congregation i attended was made up of my entire mom's side of the family, 2 of the 3 elders were my grandpa and uncle.
my first memory of the organization was when they announced my mom's name in the meeting saying she had been reinstated....it was 1988 and i was 6 years old....i didn't understand it then, but when i asked my mom why was she crying and why did they say her name in the meeting, she said "it's because i've been good!".
so she went back and after a period of time assisting constantly, she was reinstated.

The Birth of the Universe - Scientific Breakthrough
by cofty inresearchers working with a telescope at the south pole beleive they have glimpsed light from the first "trillionth of a trillionth of a tillionth" of a second after the big bang.. a lot of work has still to be done to confirm the findings, but if it holds up it is one of the biggest discoveries ever.. _________________________________________.
...inflation came with a very specific prediction - that it would be associated with waves of gravitational energy, and that these ripples in the fabric of space would leave an indelible mark on the oldest light in the sky - the famous cosmic microwave background.. the bicep2 team says it has now identified that signal.
scientists call it b-mode polarisation.

It has everything to do with the topic, Cofty.
Aren't you hailing the scientists for their discovery?
Aren't those scientists human?
Aren't humans supposed to love each other?
Sheesh!

Thanks WTBS for changing the Kingdom Songs, you freed me!
by StephaneLaliberte inyesterday, i saw a picture of a family signing kingdom melodies together.
it made me realize a fact that i am somewhat ashamed to admit:.
for over a decade, i have been aware of the false prophecies, the deceptive statements, the lack of scriptural support for many core practices and other issues with the witnesses.

I knew I couldn't stand Cee Lo for some reason.

The hymn Amazing Grace is universally understood and appreciated.
I think the WT wanted to distance itself from that.

LOL @ Ann.
I attended the funeral of one of my sisters in January of this year.
As we filed into the little country church, it was fairly rocking; the choir, without any musical accompaniment, sang Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross.
It was so solemn, yet so celebratory.
I hadn't been to church in 40-plus years, but this moved me like nothing else.
The WT needs to get a clue.

Will the Governing Body ever show a ' broken heart?'
by LogCon inpsalm 51:17 says, my sacrifice, o god, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, god, will not despise.. .
as the evidence mounts, and fingers are pointed at the governing body for their complicity in the 'child abuse cover ups' ,.
...will they ever get down on bended knee and show truly broken hearts?.

I don't thing they will ever bring themselves to imitate King David by truly repenting of their misdeeds.
Mind you, David was a booger-wooger, but if anyone can read the 51st psalm and still harbor ill-will toward David, I submit that something is wrong with that person.

A month ago, I had to borrow my JW sister's car.
There was a cd of the new songs in her player and, boy, were they depressing!
No joyousness, no lightness, no hope.
I didn't want to remove the cd, but I sure was tempted.

March Moooooodiness
by LouBelle ini had a fantastic february, went over my sales target by 121 %, did a fabulous school pull out feature (all on my own) wrote a couple of stories that got printed in the paper.
i was go go go in feb. then come march, work forces a technical error issue to arise regarding previous months sales (they don't want to pay me the full 10k) and in order to fight it - takes far too much stress so negotiated an agreement (settling on 7.2k).
that kind of took the wind out of my sails/sales, just haven't felt like selling again, went for another job interview, they offered exactly what i'm getting here and when i tried negotiating they haven't even had the ettiquette to return calls / emails.
