i cant stand it anymore!

by bite me in

the vocabulary!

the word "truth" literally makes me sick!

let me give you a quick behind the scene.

tak

It's all set up for "mind control" by "the cult".

The Truth (only they have it)

Worldly (condiscending)

Sisters & Brothers (warm family)

Elders (men in authority)

Just lingo for mind control

Resurrection Hope - People in the Future who think they have lived before

by VM44 in

according to the watchtower, a resurrected being is a body that has placed within it the memories and attributes of a person who had lived before.. the "life force" is transferred to the body to bring it alive.

also according to the watchtower, the "life force" is impersonal and contains no personality.

it is like electricity in that it is an actuating force.. ok, so in the future there will be billions of people with memories of having lived on the earth.

Russell mentions that a body replaces itself physically every seven years

Geeezzz... Can I have smaller thighs, no wrinkles, hmmmm... what else!

"Queenie" has passed away

friends

i got an email from her daughter lisa this morning regarding "queenie", who used to post on this forum as well as others, such as my yahoo groups.

many of you long timers on this forum probably remember queenie.

she had multiple health problems and took a turn for the worse last month after a fall and died yesterday.

I am sorry to hear that. My husband died of an MRSA infection, it is usually fatal if the person has a low immune system. It is usually contracted from a hospital to begin with.

my son called me yesterday, first time in probably 6 weeks, because he lost his car keys, the car is in my name, so i had to get another set from the dealership.

anyways, it doesn't really matter what he called about, it was just in 6 weeks he only calls because he needs something, not a peep before that (very hurtful).

a brother drove him to my office and it was quittin time so i went outside with him and gave him the keys, i was hurt and didn't say much to him.

I contacted my insurance company this morning and let them know that my son will be driving my vehicle full time until August 15th at which time he will be buying it from me and getting his own insurance. I told them he does not live with me. They said that is fine as long as he has my permission.

I will be calling my son in the next couple of days and letting him know that having the car in my name so he can have cheaper insurance is dishonest and that we are lieing and that is a sin and that he will have until August 15th to get his affairs in order. I will also print off the 1952 Watchtower questions from readers and give it to him highlighting

If, because of acting according to the disfellowship order of the company of God’s people, they become threatened with a withdrawal of the parental support, then they must be willing to take such consequences.

how many insiders?

by agent zero in

hi everyone, i'm new here, been viewing the board for a while, decided to join yesterday.. so i'm about 95% convinced now the wts is bogus, but i'm still in coz as yall know leaving is the hardest part.

i plan on doing a fade to avoid the complete disconnection, but first want to gradually help my gf to see things too.

in the meantime, i'm just wondering how many of you are still "active" jdubs?

tak

Welcome Agent Zero. I faded for only about a month and then got df'd. If I had to do it over, I would have DA'd myself before they got a chance to df me.

I thought afterwards too how many faders there actually are, because until I started reading this board I didn't know about faders.

Again welcome.

Thanks everyone. You are right, I am too soft, but his dad died a year and a half ago and I didn't want to give him any more stress. P.S. Darren also says I make too many excuses for people. I am going to take your advice though, I will give him a few more weeks and again if he doesn't call me or make an effort to have a relationship with me then I will make him accountable for his actions. I really like the suggestion that I tell him that perhaps since he has chosen the congregation over me, then go to them for insurance help.

Yes you are right, Darren tells me that a lot, he says I am too soft on him.

But to make a long story short, he bought the car, but the insurance was way too high so we put it in my name and he is an occassional driver.

A brother drove him to my office and it was quittin time so I went outside with him and gave him the keys, I was hurt and didn't say much to him. He got back into the brothers car and I drove off. They were behind me and we came to a light I was going straight, they were turning left. If the brother had stopped where he should have, he would have been right beside me, and I was in a convertable, instead he left almost two car spaces in front of him so he didn't have to be beside me. Again very hurtful. I know they are brainwashed to believe that shunning is right, but god damn it, I wish the f***k they would smarten up and stop hurting people. Just my vent
