  HomeTown Congregation

  what a beautiful place it was.

  a real 'crag' of strength amidst an evil world indeed.. mine had the 'trinity james' in charge.

  you know, the 'service committee', best recognized by the pious look of pain on their faces, the brown smudge of shit on their lips right after the circus overseer arrived.. there was gossipping garbo and the merry pioneer fornicators, joy and marysue the racial bigots, and brice the janitor, expert in hiding his child-labor business from uncle sam.. elder bob, a happy pensioner, who designed weapon systems until he retired, but insisted it was 'not his department'.

  my wife encountered a jw today at the uptown laundry where she goes to dry blankets and large items from time to time.. i had just asked her an hour earlier to look around and see if any mags were laying around there - i don't know why.

  i just wanted to see if any major layout changes were taking place with the watchliar and asleep lately.. i have not opened them.

  i am looking though at the cover of the tower - cover title 'how can you choose a good religion?

  Why do people feel they have to be religious to be a good or decent person. Why do they think they need a religion to be truly'

  happy inside. There is so much more out there then the fear you need some type of faith to get by in life.

  MY B-I-L IS IN THE HOSPITAL

  by Mary in

  here's another update on my brother in law:.

  my sister and b-i-l went to the cancer center in toronto earlier this week to see about getting the stemcell transplant for his disease.

  it was actually an encouraging visit as the oncologist there said that they did not feel his condition had progressed into the acute myloid leukemia yet and that he had longer---up to 2 years---than what his local oncologist had said.

  in a recent thread, i was basically called out in this manner.. here is part of the quote:.

  mean no disrespect with the following but i have to ask, when you disassociated yourself what did you think would happen?

  did you expect witnesses to suddenly change to accommodate you?

  The only thing is they never allow you to leave with any dignity...

  The talk and lies spread of those that leave never ceases to amaze me. No one ever knows the truth.

  Not been on for AGES but need to rant

  by billie jean in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've not used any boards for a long time because i felt i'd got what i needed from them and felt i needed to 'move on' for want of a better word.

  i've just come back from staying at my j.w parents house for a few days (which was long enough) we don't usually bring the subject of 'it' up but the other night i got it all, the bile was out, they were on defensive mode, to the point of shouting, insulting me, telling me that they'll 'cut me off' if they find out i'm apostate, then laughing at me and causing me to actualy feel worthless it was unreal.

  i told them i'm an atheist and tried to tell them what the 'truth' does and what it really is but i got absolutely nowhere.

  hello all, i have been lurking, looking, reading, and digesting for around 2 years and it seems the time is right to post.

  i recently had one of those moments at the kindom hall where i found myself looking around thinking "am i the only one who gets it, why doesn't anyone else have this puzzled look on their face?".

  said during is second talk to the congregation "all of our food, our magazines, and all our wonderful books, and videos come from/through these 9 men".
