while raking my yard today a had an epithany.

i started to thinking, being in the witness organization is a lot like being in an inbred family.

think about the reasons that getting with your sister or fist cousins are wrong.

Thanx guys....but NOW I feel guilty about hijacking this thread....
It seems like a lot of people have had bad experiences at the Kingdom Halls...
That's NOT my experience..
Sure would be easier if it was???!!

i just showed up at work and am livid.

the reason?

That is the most cohesive and literate rant I've heard in a long time.
Kudos to you for keeping your 'outward' cool and not playing into that scenario
Grrrrr.....reminds me of a saying
IF EVERYBODY ELSE WOULD JUST DO WHAT THEY'RE SPOSED TO
I'D BE FINE......as if....
Life hasn't been fair since the Garden of Eden...and...
I'm beginning to rethink 'that' scenario

I cancelled today's study instead of just being 'unavailable..
.twas the courteous thing to do.
I now have an aversion to these lovely people
and they are lovely...really...but...I tried to get them to help me to look under the rug
but they don't see the LUMP(as in elephant under the rug ....aka sweeping things under the rug)
I have this itty bitty suspicion also....how could ......oh phoooey.......anyway....to make a long
story shorter...
.I want to crawl under that rug and tell the 'elephant' to MOVE OVER.!!!
I havn't been answering my phone so Thursday they left a note on my door asking me if I wanted them to come Friday for my bible study
Last week I came home and found a container of rasberries that they had left when I was hiding from them...
It took a long time to pick all those rasberries.
I feel bad and sad....sometimes I wish I didn't know what I know.
Re the sweet little old lady(she really is)
I feel worse for 'her'being reassigned...she had to leave friends etc...but they were trying to balance the populations in the different congregations so there would be enuf younger people to take care of the older ones...ie. driving them to meetings etc.
My apologies...I think I'm off topic
Yup I sure do miss my 'bible study' epiphanys....
I wonder..... if I rake my yard ....will I...........????

Here in Canada one doesn't have a choice re which kh you attend.
You attend your assigned 'district' kh
Isn't it the same in other countries??
The 90 year old sweet little old lady who had given me return visits for 10 years was assigned to another district because there were too many older witness's in her district and.....
I got new people to visit me who were sucessful in getting me to commit to a bible study
which I've done for two years(I cancelled today's study)
One of the things I loved about my bible studies were my 'epiphanys'
I miss those 'epiphanys'
Some of them 'were' real
Some(it now seems)....were not
Truth MIXED with Error

why, exactly, are you here on jwd?.

are you out of the jw's and still needing association with like people?.

do you lack the skills to have real friends in real life?.
BCberean

I'm here because...
I feel like I'm living in 'nowhere land'
Transition time for me....
Actually I'm neither 'here nor there'...but...
I'm more 'here' than 'there'

What's 'normal'?????
Why do I have this feeling that I don't want to be normal
and that 'normal' is mediocricy????
Hmmmmm....thinking I may have mispelled mediocrisy..
.nope that doesn't look right either.
If 'normal' means NOT being smarter than THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE THE TRUTH...then...
yup....I feel normal
