  God help me - Just finished Crisis of Conscience

  by Orgull in

  i don't know whether to laugh or cry.. a friend lent me coc yesterday and i stayed up most of the night reading it.

  it took me 13 hours and i skipped the meeting today to keep reading, i couldn't bear to put it down.. i am shocked but not surprised at how closely ray's thinking mirrors my own in some ways.

  the part that hit me hardest was.... "conviction, it has no meaning or validity unless it is individual, personal.

  The meeting tonight was UNBEARABLE

  i had my tms tonight.

  for those who don't know me, i no longer believe, but have only just begun my slow fade.. the meeting was unbearable.

  first there was the brother who happily pointed out that i'd missed two meetings recently and that he was keeping track.

  I finally took my stand.

  i just missed two meetings for the first time in five years.. this past week i went "on vacation", housesitting for relatives nearby.

  i told my bookstudy overseer i'd be "away", even though i was only a twenty minute drive from the kingdom hall.

  i spent the entire week away from my insane family, away from the meetings and away from my "brothers and sisters".. it felt great.. coming home felt... not so great.. but the first brick in my fade has been laid.

  Is the Watchtower magazine's stated circulation actually erroneous?

  by Orgull in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just changed my order of magazines at the counter to the bare minimum.

  me, my dad, my friends, heck everybody i know throws out a large bag of unused watchtowers and awakes every few months or at least once a year.

  then it hit me.

  If death is the result of sin, why do animals die?

  by Orgull in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my first week of posts here were very serious and all the wonderful, encouraging replies helped me very much.. so now i want to ask something semi-frivolous.

  (actually it's one of the many things that don't make sense to me about "the truth").

  why do animals die?.

  Have you ever faked a service report?

  by Orgull in

  2. beliefs

  it's only my third day here so, go easy on me.

  lol.. seriously, my new doubts have made it harder and harder to go in service.

  a few months ago, when a new month rolled around, i realized that i hadn't actually gone in service at all the previous month.
