being a jehovah's witness at any time and at any level is a major head f*ck.
the reason is that it obscures what is important and causes you to focus on what doesn't matter.. i've moved on from my jw experience.
it's a shame that i found myself a born in, taught to focus on things that don't matter.
Great post, Jeff!
Goes hand in hand with what I've learned about Zen and its focus on what matters.
Wonderful quote: "Being a family is more important than being a cult".
Here's a song that I associate with the advice of your mother to "be happy":
And yes, I made it to the end of your post.
greetings, friends:.
i recall not too long ago that an article in one of the publications [km, awake!, wt ...

i coudn't help but notice in a recent watchtower ( february i think it was).
jesus was pointing the way to some one with two fingers ,not to somebody who had two fingers but pointing the way with two fingers.

i stopped trying to sing the songs last meeting.
it felt like a combination of chanting and stepping on a cat.
it is terrible.
The new songbook is proof that the Governing Body still does not have a clue about what this organization really needs.
Not only do the songs sound basically the same, but they've actually gotten even more boring!
The whole project was completely unnecessary (unless it had actually produced catchy music with a backbeat).
It's just like their response to every legitimate criticism they receive- outdated, boneheaded, and misguided.

megadeth is a heavy metal band fronted by dave mustaine, who was raised as a jehovah's witness.
mustaine was the original lead guitar player for metallica,in the early 80's, before they kicked him out for drunk behavior.
