were you a fish out of water?.
were you popular in your congregation?.
were you a "marked" person?.
At fist I was pretty popular and seemed to maintain but after awhile I began seeing thru everyone elses bull shit facades and became more blunt in my response to some of their actions. Soon, I could tell that they were a little afraid to approach me because I didn't pull any punches with them and would just lay it on the line. There were a few that treated me fairly and I would do the same to them.
Quirky
i hate to exercise, therefore i haven't really ever done it, and stuck with it.
i've had 6 children, and am quite sedentary.
i get really bad migraines when my blood pressure rises, hence hating excercise.. .
Me too..
for me, it's the pm system.. sylvia.
This board needs an overhaul, so to speak.
didnt think i'd say this, but i am.
maybe you newbies have no clue who i am, but i was absolutely addicted to this site for over a year.
now, i have no time for jwn.
Congrats!! It is a good feeling to be free isn't it.
it seems the watchtower leaders believe that if you were to think about leaving the organization (and listen to "apostates") that you must have a place to go in return.
they feel you must have something, if you were to not accept the organization.
you need hope and belief in something.
When I left I went to the bar to have a cold beer and some pretzels....and watched some football..
abraham, solomon and others got god's seal of approval.
if they were truly sinning, you would think it would've been clearly expressed in the 10 commandments and the law.
instead, god blessed those involved in adultery and fornication..
God provided viagra and KY to all those involved...
just wanted to interduce myself an give an quick synopsis.. i was a happy an healthy(ish) young man back in march 08. i was cornnered by a (didn't know it @ the time) jw who talked to me alot about "the truth" and why the world is like it is.
he is a window cleaner in town, hence i didn't know as he wasn't in his suit.
everything he said made sense to me @ the time, but thinking back i wasn't @ my healthiest or strongest so he got me @ my weakest point.
Welcome and thanks for the share Drewmeister!!

i mean , they go to all that humungous labor, build a huge box to put over the oil gushing out and wham 5,000 ft. deep it gets clogged with ice crystals.
now they are talking about a couple other alternatives in the news- all the while today haliburton, bp, and other reps are meeting with federal officials getting into a pissing match and fight over who is responsible for the spill ?
Pissed ain't the word..
