  You used to laugh about everybody that was hanging out.

  Now you don't talk so loud. Now you don't seem so proud.

  When you ain't got nothing, you've got nothing to lose.

  You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal.

  After Exiting the Witnesses - Are you O.K. Not Knowing about the Future ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems that religion has always been considered the opium of the people.

  or at least many tend to gravitate towards religion to have or solidify some sort of future with a supreme being overlooking them hoping to have a reward either in heaven or in the jehovah's witnesses case - living forever in a " paradise earth ".

  it seems that people can't just live day to day and let each day come to them with whatever happens.

  Would love to hear more specifics about "shit getting crazy".

  And in reply to the thread, even when I was "inactive" and still somewhat believed in what the WT taught about impending Armageddon, I didn't care and just got off on enjoying life. It was still better than going to boring ass meetings!

  Nowadays it's a bit scary knowing the summer of your life is ending and fall and winter are approaching... but such has always been the way for all living things. Studying Zen has given me some real peace of mind and a feeling of acceptance. Namaste!

  At least I'm preparing more financially than I did when a Witness and teaching my kids a more realistic view of life than what I was taught.

  Presbyterians Approve Ordination of Gay People

  presbyterians approve ordination of gay people.

  after 33 years of debate, the presbyterian church (u.s.a.) has voted to change its constitution and allow openly gay people in same-sex relationships to be ordained as ministers, elders and deacons.

  If they're approving ordination of gays then they're not following the Bible's condemnation of homosexuality.

  So good for them, because the Bible is mythology and no one deserves condemnation for being gay!

  Which religious group goes to stadiums every year, but they have never seen a ball game or a concert? Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Actually I know very few JWs who haven't been to a ball game or concert.

  But going to a concert in the same building you attended a convention in can be quite interesting! (Imagine psychedelic images behind the stage and a cloud of special smoke over the whole area.)

  They claim to be a loving people, but not one of them appealed to us with love, it was all fear and destruction and death.

  This is so true... a friend of mine left the borg and his room mate said "Oh well, if he wants to die at Armageddon that's his problem." No real concern or love for the guy he'd been living with, just "screw him".

  When I first came to this board someone said that the U.N. turning on religion was an old JW myth and I was shocked into reality by that statement.

  Leaving WT you have also been very blunt with many of your posts questioning the existence of God and I really appreciate it.

  I greatly value you as a poster and a person!

  Most Overblown Examples Used at Assemblies

  by What Now? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at a recent assembly, there was a talk highlighting the dangers of higher education.

  the brother used an example of a young girl who went to university, began going to bars, and ended up getting drugged and gang raped - as if this happens to every young jw who chooses to get higher education.. .

  what ridiculous examples have you heard used at meetings or assemblies?.
