You could teach some serious truth to anyone who tried to study with you. Just ask the right questons and you might could infect the whole hive (no insult to bees meant).
so much to learn....oompa
i just recieved my third offer to have a bible study after being inactive for several years.
hello,, i remember where the kh is if i wanted to attend and i think after five meetings a week my whole life i know what the teachings are without having another "study".
i just found it very degrading and arrogant to assume that there must be something "wrong with me" or that i "needed help".

Thanks for sharing your story. What a shame the "love" this faith is supposed to have did not find it's way to your parents. I honestly think I could take a rod to your Mom's house and splain some things to her! Where did you Dad go.
so sorry and good luck...oompa
when facing the truth about 9/11 being an inside job......do you refuse to believe it?....or are you scared to be called a conspiracy nut?......is this not the same as being controlled by the jw's and being called an apostate if you question the status quo?....free your minds and waken up.....why did the pentagon....the most secure building on the planet get hit?...where were the air force??
?...wtc 7 was brought down by explosives....why did san francisco mayor willie brown receive a warning not to fly that morning?....the evidence is overwhelming and out there....all you need to do is read it and waken up again....you did it once in escaping the borg.....
What the hell would be the purpose???? To take over Afganistan?? Big prize. We were going to go into Iraq anyway cause of their thumbing thier nose at the UN, and cause George W's dad told him to finish the job. So we did not need a HUGE attack like this to go after whomever we wanted to.
Way too many economic reasons this would have been too stupid, and taken way too much cooperation. The US could not even rescue some Americans from Iran during the Carter days! Look at the ongoing BILLIONS being spent on ongoing security measures now as a result.
this makes no sense....give me a reason....oompa
i'm currently a ministerial servant, and i haven't been to a congregation meeting in almost 4 months.
my father, who brings me my magazines and kms, has informed me that i have parts on the tms and service meeting coming up soon.
what's the deal with that?.
You can still let these guys down the easy way. Just tell them you are not up to handling any parts right now, and ignore any that you are assigned. Amazingly, the meeting will still go on! Don't worry about this crap and continue your fade, they will do what they have to.
you dont need it, they dont need you....oompa
for me its an old one, here's the link.

maybe we are the crazy ones!
but, after a chat with the po of our congo, we felt a little better with the knowledge that we are not alone on the inside.
let us explain .... today we went to the ministry as every saturday :(.
I don't think anybody comes OUT like that. It is baby steps, mentioning little things. This sounds wierd.
suspicious....oompa
I was in the coatroom once and Pamela Anderson appeared. I did not go back to the auditorium for the next two hours.
quite a presence....oompa
sometime ago a friend of mind visited several psychiatrists over a five year period.
he wanted to learn more about himself.
all he learned is that everybody has problems and that his shrinks had more problems then he did.. the watchtower frowns on the rank and file visiting psychiatrists.
Wednesday is correct about people benefiting from professional help, and although I was jesting about being a shrink, I am amazed at how many of them hav ASKED ME what I want to do as far either upping/lowering my doses, and which meds to try. I am currently trying to get off all of mine, as I really don't like mixing drugs that have really not been tested in combination with others.
just a tought case....oompa

I have been to five or six therepists and psychiatrists and looking back on it much of it has been a hoot! I could be a Psych. as most just monitor meds--"here try this..not working...try this...not working....try this...." you get the picture. Those with advice and direction and explanations are a riot. Some of thier stuff is so off the wall and mumbo jumbo. You can pretty much find someone to tell you exactly what you want to hear.
could just stay in da troof...oompa
were you extremely saddened or in despair once you realized you'd been duped??
?
oompa: I tried booze, therepy, and meds
Minimus, therepy did not help. I have a good reason to be depressed. None of those really close to me have the same principle thing in common with me anymore. If I continue to share info, soon, none of them will have anything at all to to with me which is just about like that now. Even my immediate family is pretty estranged.
the truth hurts....oompa
