Holiday decorations on the Kingdom Hall
by NaruNaruChan inyou know... last year i chickened out... but i'm thinkin there's these two trees in front of my old hall... and they look just like xmas trees... god, wouldn't it be funny if...?
if we had a mass movement and bunch of apostates went to as many kh in their cities and threw some decorations up?
i wonder if the dubs would think it's the end of the world!

I don't think all of this is a good idea. While those who do it might not care what the brothers think there may be others in the territory who are fading or disassociated or disfellowshipped who may in the minds of the brothers in the congregation get the blame.
It is so hard for so many of us who are out why make it harder?

Flowerpetal,
I am inactive but the brothers still come by to encourage me. But you know I don't know what to say. I feel so sad for them and all of us. They mean well and I appreciate their concern but I can't really speak to them. I feel like a mute reduced to hand signals. I shake their hand invite them in and talk about nothing. They leave feeling they have helped me in some way but I just feel so sad.
I feel between worlds.

Hi Frank,
Learning to think differently is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. To not lean on people I thought were my spiritual fathers was so hard to do because it felt good you know to have someone guiding the way for me. Helping me (or so I thought) to learn about Jehovah and how to live a life that pleased God.
Now I lean on God alone and hope that he will help all those in the Organization who search for him to have peace.
Thank you for the welcome.

SixofNine,
Thank you for the welcome and the link! It's so good to communicate with people who have gone down the same road. Nothing like it. I don't celebrate Christmas but this place comes the closet to a Christmas tree with presents under it for me.

Very good article, thank you. I agree with the writer and in an odd sort of way am proud he is a former brother. He expressed himself very well and I feel rightly.

Why does the society try to keep the R&F so busy?
by Flowerpetal ini was thinking this morning on some things, and the story/series on hbo currently, carnivale, is showing the not so nice side of humanity.
we all have our dark side.
everybody in this world has one, i believe.

I agree with Franklin J. The Society is on automatic they don't know how not to preach and preach and keep busy for the end. Also I believe they feel that if the brothers keep busy doing things related to seeking the Kingdom they are safeguarded from the world.
Unfortunately, the brothers are not only safeguarded from the world they are also safeguarded from living!

DantheMan,
Nice to meet you. Well, I don't think I'm the Sabrina you mentioned but for now I will not say where I'm from. Fear of losing those I love controls everything I write here.
I wish it were not that way but there is nothing I can do about it.
Thank you for the hello though.
Sabrina
