  When you were active, did you feel you would survive Armageddon?

  by Band on the Run in

  i am curious about this issue.

  personally, i never felt i would be good enough for a split second.

  one would think that knowing you can not be good enough to survive would it make it easier to leave the witnesses and live for the present.

  NO....I often likened myself to the parable of the two sons....A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in my vineyard.' He answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind, and went. He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, 'I go, sir,' but he didn't go. Which of the two did the will of his father?"

  For the decade I pioneered I ways always short on my time. I felt like I had promised Jehovah something I could not deliver and He would have to destroy me.

  for those who want to keep up with the "pure language", i found out this week that at the most recent elder's school, they were told that the announcements should no longer include the following:.

  1. name of public talk and speaker for sunday.

  2. synopsis of all the parts that are coming up on the rest of the service meeting.

  Everything has to be gloom and doom with them. A happy memory may weaken their faith.

  Shun vigorously all pornography

  Should they really be using the word vigorously when referring to porn?

  Jonathan, I am so very sorry!!!

  I would insist your wife find new employment if she wants the marriage to work.

  I've been working full time and going to school full time

  I am sure your wife is very lonely (not making excuses for her though)

  millions of children have grown up as jehovahs witnesses.

  SST- Thank you so much for sharing your childhood with us. It was a very sad way to grow up for those of us who had two parents that developed their personalities after Rutherford.

  Looking forward to more of your posts.
