hello.. i landed here because of a magazine i found in lobby and wanted to ask question.
i am reading some here now.
i am interested in talking about bible scriptures and i hope it will be ok to do that here because i think a lot of people here are still digging for what is really true.. i want to tell you all some of what i am seeing.
If you are looking for truth, don't be looking at any religion let alone Jehovah's Witnesses.
Swap a kid at birth from a muslim religion and a christian religion and the christian kid will want to kill the infidels and the muslim kid will want God to kill anyone not Christian...
just to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.
so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.
i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.
Jehovah is bulls$%t so start grinding for real and lie your arse off I say...
dear all, thank you for your warm welcome!
this is my story in short (pls excuse wrong spellings, english is not my native tongue and that it still became quite long).. i'm 34 and was born into the truth by parents who in their turn were baptist in young age.
i have one older sister who is currently serving at bethel with her husband and a younger brother who never embraced the truth (which was my big sorrow for many years).
hiya newborn. I'm 34 also and felt guilty my whole life too. I was eventually DF'd and managed to find out the truth about the truth while I was out and it was the best thing ever. Things will start looking up you'll see...
aired just tonight, it's a five minute clip with former born-in member relating his experiences on his time in this cult.. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=sinxlhpsvv0.

this was on in Sydney a couple weeks ago. I sent an sms to my dad saying "channel 2, sound familiar?" I got one back saying "If you think so" \
They just don't see it...

' the man was speechless.
then the king told the attendants, 'tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'..."?
When my wife goes under the covers to do her "thang", is that classified as a head covering?? It sure is godly...
this is not to take away from the hardship a lot of people had due to abuse and other things inhumane people had to suffer as a result of growing up a witness that i have never have had to deal with.
however, nearly all of the bad experiences i have had growing up that i can recall are a direct result of doing the wrong thing against "jehoober" and the guilt that goes along with it.
man made rules, forced confession, missing meetings, not good enough, natural experiences growing up a dude - all bad/demonic, etc etc.

How much different would I be?? Weaker? Stronger? More balanced? Less Emotional? More Emotional? Funnier? Less sarcastic? More Sarcastic? Less Sinistic? More Sinistic? More/less loving? Would I be the same with less hang ups? Less interesting?
At the end of the day I guess we are what we are, so we have to do what we can with what we have....
I guess...
