Time to tell my whole story.

i've decided that i'm going to write about my life as a jw and how i broke free of the organisation.

i've approached a magazine with regards to doing a monthly story on my walk to freedom.

this is in no way meant as payback, but rather as a means to educate people about this faith and what it does to those trapped in.. i may be calling on some of you (if you don't mind) for clarification on doctrine as i have become a bit fuzzy as to what is what.

Go for it LouieBelle!!

Who Do They Think They Are?

by snowbird in

this passage from revelation-its grand climax!

is what caused me to take a second look at the wt doctrine that the 144,000 are a heavenly class, and the remnant of said class is associated with wbts.. the 24 elders and the anointed group of 144,000 are described as being "round about the throne" of jehovah and "upon the [heavenly] mount zion.

" (revelation 4:4; 14:1) the great crowd is not a priestly class and does not attain to that exalted position.

Public Talk- ever refuse to give one ?

when i was a minny man i was used to give p.ts home and away, this stopped when i asked to be given no more p.ts about 5 years before i left.

our p.o gave out the outlines and the venue in the old days, later another elder oversaw (is that a word?

) the business.. i refused to give one outline because it was such a load of rubbish, and i said so, our p.o then allowed me to go through the outlines and pick one i could do, not easy,took a lot of looking !.

Yes, I have refused several times. Mainly because the KH was short Elders and MS and the school overseer and the PO would schedule each individual an excessive amount of talks. This stopped when I put them on the spot at the KH and just refused to do them and the PO or school overseer would have to do them very impromptu.

The school overseer said; "Quirky, so what am I supposed to do with all these talks when I don't have enough people to give them?" I said; "I give up, what are you going to do?"

i'm sure most are staying busy with work- or staying busy looking for work with this economy.

Hello Flip,

Long time no talk. Everything seems well. My children are doing okay even tho I'm encouraging them to go to college but they have yet to do so. I also believe my JW wife is only going thru the motions as a JW. I honestly believe that if it weren't for her family she would cease in her JW activity. I'm still looking for the winning lottery ticket tho.

I hope you and your family the best.
