The Black/African American Perspective on the Watchtower Organization
by XOCO ini was wondering if anybody has some input/suggestions on their feelings of blacks/a.a (no offences to ppl who are white and born in s.african or anything of that nature.
ok in xocos case i'm h***an/american (born in the us) and i grew up in a predominantly h****an kh so mostly black and few european ppl/decent that spoke the francophone lang (*hint,hint*) i've never knew what it was like to be in a predominantly caucasian kh (4 that 1 year i was living in the bible belt of fl,us).
it was different and ppl were mesmerized by the way i acted compared to other a.a. jw around their near by khs.

My life used to be so non-stuff! (Guy-grumping)
by onacruse inwhen i was a bachelor, i had a very simple life: a bed, a tv, a computer, a stereo, and a couch.
no storage rooms, no closets full of stuff: everything i owned was straightforward and functional.. now?
well, bikerchic is having me haul around all these boxes and totes and piles of stuff for christmas, and i swear we must have about 47,000 tons of stuff that even she doesn't know where some of the stuff came from.. it must be genetic.. .

This time, I'm REALLY leaving..............................
by Warlock ini'm really sick and tired.. yes, sick and tired of the weirdos, sickos, the mentally ill that need to be institutionalized for their own good, the homeless, the beggars, the drug addicts, the free clinic waiting rooms full of sick people who could be carrying tb and the like.. so i quit my job, and i'm starting a new one tomorrow.
i'm leaving one job for another.. actually, seeing all those things was too painful after a while.. what, you think i was leaving jwd?.

and so it goes...
by metaspy inthis morning i started this topic: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/147355/1.ashx.
now i shall post the follow-up.. as i predicted, my mom would come with elders in tow to have a conversation.. actually, she threw me for a loop at first.
no elders with her.. she had them wait a half an hour then she let them in.. thus i couldn't reject the whole lot of them at the door, she was their way in.. secondly, she brought the elders from the nearby hall, not the ones who know me.. the whole time i thought she would go for someone who she knows can dominate my thinking, but instead she went with the unknown.. .

metaspy,
I only left a month ago and sometimes I have trouble remembering why. Of course the news brought some of it back! I think I am just so content and happy being out I no longer have to convince myself I am justified. Another thing I remind myself, I owe NO ONE an explanation. If anyone asks I tell them I made a decision and that's final. My sis on the other hand will probably spill all when she DA's herself, six page letter to explain why. Everyone's different.
Good on ya tho' for sitting thru it all and trying. Pat yourself on the back!

May the next year be a great ride!!!

1. What was it like when you "awakend?" 2. How did you know, and......
by oompa in2.5 how did you react at that time?.
3.how long was it before you somehow took action on this event?
4. was there a particular thing that all of a sudden caused you to wake up, or did doubts build over the years?

I felt peace. And happiness. As I have said before, my hubby thought I was self medicating because of the unusual happiness. I feel very emotional because my family is free.
Some things that did it for me: The UN ties. The stupidity of the blood issue. The cruelty of disfellowshipping. The Govening Body ruling millions of lives, they remind me of the Pharisees of the Bible. The pushing of WT literature instead of the Bible. And the fact that I was told I couldn't have a tubal ligation if I wanted. Excuse me?!
Seeing the news last week devastated me and my sister. We are both going to DA ourselves.
I am also thankful I got my kids out, even if it took me 8 yrs!
