Emailed Talk From Governing Body Member Last Weekend
by tryingtoexit inwhat's good a-ebody??
just thought i'd share this email with yall real quick.
it still amazes me that i was a jehovah's witness for 27 years and never thought twice about these types of talks other than i need to make sure my act is together when the end comes, and now i can't even read/hear it without getting mad.

Psychology of Losing Faith
by daniel-p ini found this a very interesting article, concerning the psychological stresses involved in losing ones' faith (the title doesn't really do it justice):.
an atheist in the pulpitpublic identity and private belief are never more at odds than when a preacher loses his faith.

excellent read
i have to agree that the realization that
there is no one "out there" giving two
craps in a handbag about my life conduct
is a stunning concept for the formerly religious....it was a total "hitch up your big girl panties and deal
with reality... THIS is your one sure life" wake-up call -

i am pretty sure i am going to be busy mar 30, 2010
i have to say during the last memorial i attended
was in a different KH than the one i usually went to
(not even aware i was "fading", but inactive due
to immense pressures with family life) and it was
one of THE most miserable experiences of my JW life....it seems i was able to hear the "talk" without filters
and it disgusted me while at the same time boring me
beyond what was endurable.... i walked out the doors
knowing i was done.... with a capital Di may not know what Truth tm is,
but i sure know what it isnt..... -

Penguins and Polar Bears.
by creativhoney inwitnesses believe the earth was created.. we were also taught that there is no such thing as evolution.each was created according to its kind.. we were taught that prior to the flood, there was a canopy over the earth and the whole world was temperate, sub tropical.. if this is so.. why polar bears?
and why can penguins shut off the valves to their feet, so they don't freeze.
and why does the awake!

glad on two counts
1) that your dad is on the mend...
2) that you were firm but not overbearing
in letting your wife see how unloving her
actions were to you... definition of gracious! -
