  right,left. or little of both

  by finnrot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they say if you're under 30 and you're conservative, you have no heart.

  and if you're over 30 and you're liberal, you have no brains.. i find myself all over the map.

  i was raised to believe that armageddon was right around the corner, so my parents saw no need to send me to college.

  i left after '75 and i haven't touched a bible since, so i'm really not sure as to the answer to this.

  when i was a kid, i seem to remember dinosaurs on the inside cover of my bible.

  am i remembering correctly?

  demonized child

  by finnrot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised a witness, and i was always told that demons were everywhere.

  i was told that if you let your mind open to "wrong" thinking that demons will invade you and take over.

  and just about anything could get you demonized.

  living forever

  by finnrot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember when i was a kid i used to assuage my fear of dying with the comfort and knoweledge that i was one of the "millions now living that may never die.

  " but even as a kid, i used to think to myself that after a thousand or so years of living with these boring people that i see at the kingdom hall, that sooner or later i would become bored as hell.

  after all, everything really fun seemed to be a sin and after a thousand years of bowling with my fellow witnesses and groveling on my knees thanking jehovah for every breath that i took, wouldn't i get bored at some point?

  Favorite food at Assemblies

  by finnrot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hated growing up as a witness.

  i hated the boring ass meetings where you could hear a pin drop on the floor, i hated going door to door and i hated not being normal like the other kids.. but the one thing i liked was going to the assemlies at the oakland coliseum.

  i would wander around and find other kids to goof around with.

  famous witnesses

  by finnrot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was lurking through old threads when i came accross one that mentioned prince as being a current witness....

  are you kidding me, i had no idea.

  has he always been a witness, or did he become one and that was the explanation for his music becoming lame?.

  bump in the night

  by finnrot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i read this board i notice that there are a lot of people that like myself don't believe in god anymore, and when i run accross a post where someone is professing their belief in god, that i have nothing but utter distain for them, almost like they don't belong here.

  for a newbie that's kind of a ridiculous position i guess.

  as i was growing it was constantly shoved down my throat that every other belief system was contlolled by the devil and run by his little demons, so after 1975 came and went and i realized that the one true religion was full of crap also, that left me with only reality to grasp, and that's, you live you die and the the worms eat you.
