Confessions of a JW upon learning the real truth...
"In and out and roundabout..
All that I hold true, I doubt."
Maybe she thought she knew it was round at one time..... like so many other things she thought she knew for truth.
just another case in point how this fds stuff can screw with your sanity and perceptions
"well, are we stopped?
" (dark helmet) ... "we're stopped sir" (colonel sanders) - spaceballs 1987. the inevitible and imminent visit that i had hoped was going to be quite a bit further down the road from now has just occurred.
i am growing paranoid while at the same time welcoming this.
2) " Even if something is wrong, are you willing to wait for Jehovah to correct his organization?"
would they REALLY ask it like that?
If so, why not answer a question with a question?
Wrong? what do you mean by wrong? (use clinton-ese) How do you define 'wrong'? I would wait for an answer or continually hound them throwing their words back at them until they give you something.
everyone always talks about the elders and people in the congregation coming around to see why you aren't at meetings...but i've never experienced this.
i've been away from the meetings for months, and not one single elder has called me.
my friends occasionally call me but never bring up my lackluster attendance.
maybe you don't give enough $$ to make it worthwhile??
i'm not a big fan of surgery.
i always exhaust all non-surgical options before doing it.
i know enough about medicine to know that surgery is effectively a controlled injury... and that makes me nervous.
sweet dreams. Hope to hear from you again soon with good news.
first of all, i'd like to say that the purpose of this thread is in know way an avenue for me to boast, but merely to share an interest with you all.. there is one thing at least that i'd like to get back into now that i no longer have so much of my time taken up by jw activities, and that's music.
i won't name the instrument on this thread because that'll be telling too much info about me(as if i already hadn't) and i don't want to just blatently give my identity away since many local jws know about this, but i'm starting to realize how much i've missed playing the intrument.
i haven't touched one in 5 years, yet i still feel that i can pick one up and play it.
Don't tell me its time for the last TRUMPET blast!
here's my take for one of the reasons: jw's perceive anyone who asks the wrong questions as a hater of jehovah and a persecuter.
they think jesus had them in mind here: .
john 17: 14. i have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as i am not of the world.
so how would you suggest softening the blow to get them to be attentive? How could you lead in your question or objections?
idea for title.

"whenever i watch tv and see those poor starving kids .

yes he is an elder.
i said "absolutely" and there was silence.
i don't drink anymore (3 months).
Some even pray to be healed and Im not seein much a that. If I am going to pray for it, damn it, I want to FEEL it, hell pick me up off the couch and hold me to the ceiling, then I'll know it's working
sounds like you are looking for a "slain in the spirit" experience. Maybe you should watch a week of Benny Hinn. It's pretty funny stuff. He blows, they faint.
