then you should read my book "procrastination perfection" by willdolater wings.
only problem is, i haven't gotten to actually writing it.
tomorrow is always a good day to get things done.
I'm guilty as charged. I should be putting brakes on my daughters car but it's too cold and windy plus a little rain. I just came to see if I survived the Werewolf game and it all went from there. Checking out everyone's threads.
Waddya say? I'm hooked.

personally, i don't think the organization is reformable.
while i was an elder, i tried to be a more moderate voice and as i grew older any harsher attitudes disappaited from within me.
as they say, all the good (and smart) elders have left.
You know, you can put a new dress on a whore but she is still a whore.

one where you were actually given a paycheck, & where did you end up after that , if you're in the mood to tell ?
there are a lot of intelligent people here with, i assume, some very interesting occupations.... but hey, we all had to start somewhere........ for myself, my first real job was at a local clothing store, imagine my surprise when at the age of 18 i realized just how much items were marked up...!!!
i priced the clothes at 3 times the cost to the store.

if you guys don't mind would you read my blog on myspace and read the comments a jw left and read my response.
any advice on how to further address this would be greatly appreciated.. here is the address:.

I agree with undercover....
But my initial reaction is: why is a JW posting on MySpace? Assuming that he's willing to debate the issues, he is treading on thin ice as far as following the Society's counsel.
You can't win any argument with a faithful JW...cognitive dissonance will kick in and they'll never see any other viewpoint. I'd just have some fun with him and use the same tool that the Society uses; guilt. Mess with his head and make him feel guilty for going against the counsel of the Slave.
Some are such Die Hard Jdubs that they do not or will not think anything else. They will not allow you to explain things to them nor or they open to research their own religion. They have been supressed to beleive only the FDS.

i've been lurking on this website for quite some time, but haven't quite gotten the strength to post until now.
for obvious reasons, i cannot reveal my identity.
although my "family" nows that i am no longer a witness and celebrates holidays, they still have "hope" for me.
Welcome bgurl,
You will enjoy it here, I hope. You are not alone.

it is a test to determine if you belong in the jw religion.

can't be:.
if we believe in god, or if we don't (hell no on that one).
if we are hamsexual or homosexual (absolutely not).
Unity is that I can empathize and agree with everyone that has posted here.

jehovah's witnesses, if it was proved to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have been lied to, would you care?
deny it?
make excuses for it?
Kool Aid,
I visited the sitte but was unable to get past "Enter". I seen the six screens a hat and a door but was unable to go further.

When I first came to the KH the "Agape" love was great but over time it disintegrated to where there were only a few that shared that kind of love. I found that most of it was pretend, a put on, and was in no way sincere. Only in the cliques did you see it hold firm. But, it may have just been a close bond of freindship. Nonetheless, I thought the love I seen in the KH overall was rather rude and boorish. It is all motivated by obligation of being part of an organization rather than from the heart.
I've seen more love from freinds and family and even coworkers that goes far beyond the Jdubs.
