i'm on page 90 right now...the info is definitely new and gives me a totally diff view as to how i used to think of faithful and discreet slave.

i was thoroughly disgusted with the way the brothers handled the oral sex and leadership problem and the insight on the scriptures book...... still have alot of questions though.

It's going to continue to shock you as you keep reading but do not fret, things will only get better once you realized that you have been duped to think you had the truth. Just remember,

"Do not put your trust in men"

not sure about the rest of you that are mentally out, but every now and again i still have those moments where i think "ok god, if this is in fact the true religion and the organization is right and i'm on the wrong path, send me a big, glaringly obvious sign that i can't ignore.. .

anyways, this past sunday my husband and i just did not feel like going to the meeting.

we weren't in the mood to sit through it.

What now:

It sounds like your saying because you happened to be at a store in your community and a person who professes to be a JW, (annointed no less) who no doubt lives in your community and you just happened to see at a store is some kind of sign saying you should be at a meeting. Is that what your saying?

i was having coffee at a starbucks located in a supermarket chain in one of the towns i work in my business .

while sitting there doing paperwork , what looked like 3 elders on their field service break sat at a table no more than 4 feet from me .

after eavesdropping it was obvious they were elders as they were talking about the c.o.

Good job Flipper. Your dedication to helping others is beyond reproach. To coin the JW line you planted seeds. I hope it gets through to them

does anyone Know why ... Angels are not the means God uses to comunicate with us...

by Tater-T in

take a box of Aluminum foil and fashion an aluminum helmet and wear it at night while you sleep and then the angels will communicate with you in your dreams.

If they don't, that means you don't have enough faith

Thoughts on turning 65 today

by Terry in

jw
friends

today is my 65th birthday.. chances are you have no idea what that means.. would you like to know?

turning 65 can only be described using these two words:.

the first: anagnorisis the moment of critical discovery; the discovery of one's own identity or true character.

Dear Terry,

Great thoughts on turning 65. It happened for me last September.

The prognosis is 'terminal'

by AK - Jeff in

it always has been.

we are all going to die.. .

how did it affect you though, when that reality set in after leaving the lies of religion?.

ldrnomo

I'm on board with OTWO but I'm also eating drinking and being merry. I call it "reasonable guiltless self indulgence"

Have your faith been made stronger or made weaker since coming here?

by jam in

me personally, considerably weaker.

in fact i have.

become an agnostic.. since i discovered this site over 6-7 yrs, we have.

ldrnomo

Faith is somthing you don't have to have in life. Of course if you need to have faith, I'm sure you will find somthing to have faith in. At this point I don't need to have faith I may or may not in the future however if I do develop faith in somthing, it will be on my own terms.
