I was 16 at the time and I was so brainwashed at that time that I ASKED for the JCM! Noone even knew what I had done, but I felt so guilty and paranoid that I told on myself.
What a doofus I was.
in your first committee meeting did you come clean or hold out as long as you could before you realized they had the goods on you?.

i was just listening to the fifth dimension's 60s song "aquarius".
i remember witnesses loving that songf and actually swubstituting "aquarius" with "asparagus"!
you see, then it was ok to sing.
Yeah, my family always had what we called "family day", all the cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. would get together and unload TONS of gifts on everyone. All wrapped and everything. I always took it to mean that we were making up for missing out on all the other holidays. Go figure...
And we also had a turkey day, always a day or two before or after the real one. LOL.
What a joke.
hi, posting on another thread, i asked this question.
i would like to know - what do they do with the 'old light' books?
does it not occur to them that they have a pile of books that they are not allowed to read?
Hmm... that should have read...they are a huge PART of my life. And, did I mention that I am not your average JW. As a matter of fact, I am no longer a JW.

Personally... bonfire.
And I must add that I adore books. They are a huge my life, but the ones that are patently false...bonfire.
No, I am not kidding.
relatives can be a problem.
at least in the eyes of the wt society, relatives are a threat to the mind control tactics they employ on their slaves.. the thing is, relatives may well love their relations who have unfortunately become trapped in the watchtower lies and so may try to reason, help, rescue and perhaps even get cross when trying to release their loved ones who continue to be ensnared in the watchtower trap!.
i noticed in the last two watchtowers that relatives are mentioned specifically and wondered how far the road of isolationism of their members the watchtower is now willing to go in warning their members against those who may try to help them.. december 15th watchtower, page 22 para 8:.
Good for you, primitivegenius!
I agree with you.
elders are very busy before and after the meetings.
they have many parts during the ministry school.
they have elder meetings after the meetings are over.
Wow, I feel left out!
I have been missing meetings for 20 years now, and I have NEVER gotten a call from anyone. LOL
hello everyone, my story is a unique one i suppose but here it goes.,, ever since i was a little boy whenever i would voice my objections about this religion my parents would tell me im making satan happy and that i'm inviting demons into are house by saying and thinking things like this.
my parents are such religious fanatics that it seems like nothing i do can ever be good enough for them.
to this day they always claim that they come down hard on me like this because "they're trying to protect me".
Spiritboi...
I wouldn't say it's conversing in the conventional manner.
I have never asked a "spirit" how they were doing or If they would like a cup of tea. LOL
I believe it's more like me being guided or learning from them (respectfully, of course).
I am working diligently on being able to astrally project, and during my journeys, I have "seen" things that did not come only from my imagination.
I know that spirit entities exist, some are "good" and some are...not.
I would love to ask them if jehovah exists, maybe someday I will.

I was never afraid, despite the warnings from my parents and the talks on Sunday, LOL
But, then again, I am weird. I actually search out "spirits" to converse with them.
I've always thought it was crazy to be afraid of something that you don't really know. A healthy respect, yes. Fear, no.
jws are officially told the "right" reason for baptism is a heart motivated out of love and appreciation for all jehovah has done combined with the desire to please him.
now let's get real.
be honest.
I had just turned 12.
I have no flippin' idea why I did it, I was 12 for crying out loud!
anyone follow the nfl?.
what do you think?.
green bay @ denver -2.5 (broncos will win by more than 2.5 points).
I must stick by the Broncos even though they have not been all that hot this year (I am loyal, what can I say?).
