  so here's an interesting thing that happened lately.

  if you guys have followed my previous posts, you probably know my mother almost died from severe anemia, decided to take blood transfusions to avoid death and the elders announced the congregation she disassociated.

  last week a "brother" came to visit from a congo about 100 kilometers away.

  Nice to see people questioning!

  i was twenty years old.. as a jehovah's witness, i had no career path ahead of me, no college to attend, and no prospect for my future other than.

  knocking on people's doors and scanning the horizon for signs of armageddon:).

  i was engaged to a 17-year-old witness girl i had met at the mineral wells assembly.. what was our future together?

  they may be there for two months rather than 3 years depending on operational requirements.

  Sounds like what some have suspected... That this is just the first phase of layoffs and more will be coming...

  What are the things that wake people up from the Watchtower Corporation?

  when i became an elder i saw the dark side.

  a side i previously believed couldn't possibly exist in the one true religion of the happiest people on earth.. then they rolled out 'overlapping generations(tm)' and that was the last straw.. all my life i had doubts but surpressed them thinking i was at fault and not the cult leaders.. it seems more likely that now the governing body are parading around like popes, wearing their expensive jewellery, that this will nauseate even dyed in the wool jws.. i wonder if the wake up can be condensed into main categories?.

  1. experiencing the cruel handling of matters by the wbt$ reps.. 2. crazy doctrine (eg.

  He never really admitted to anything. He was around for years, in Bethel in 1980, new I think Greek and Hebrew.

  He was known as anointed, but, refused to talk about it. I asked him outright once, "Are you anointed?" He answered, "Well, I believe I'm going to heaven."

  I hung out with his daughter and she once told me they were going to some religious convention but it wasn't a JW one.

  I told him about my issues with the JW blood doctrine and he said I'd probably never have a satisfying answer to that. He said that if I'm ever in the situation, it's between me and God and to do what I feel is the right thing.

  I think he knew ttatt but was undercover. Either that or he just did whatever the hell he wanted.
