40SOME OF YOU ARE SCARY
by beerose ini can't just give up believing in god,but its understandable when god was taking from you,i hope you find peace gods not in a building!
and he does forgive you when you go to your private place sometimes you can't right a wrong,as long as you add the one you wronged and mean it,we pay all sins through death,christ did that for us!
no i'm not planting seeds!

Question on good and evil...
by digderidoo ingrowing up as a dub i always belived mankind was inheritantly good.
that because of adam and eve being perfect, they then ate the fruit and so that sinful side was passed on through the generations.. since leaving i have often wondered whether mankind is inheritantly good or evil.. when wicked acts occur, this makes me think that some have this evil deep down inside of them.
yet when someone helps others i then think that maybe some have good inside of them.. so is mankind inheritantly good or bad?

This is actually a very complex question with a multitude of answers...
1st, the news reply...I don't buy that at all. Drama sells, whether that be good drama or bad drama...that is what we see on the news. And drama is regional, in the States we seem to love the negative, in other countries they are the opposite...
I believe that PEOPLE are inherently good, but SOCIETY is inherently bad. Leadership is inherenty bad because it involves power and control.
History has shown that mankind for the most part CAN'T get along... Humans like to fight each other. This fight does not always mean guns and bombs either, the spoken word is far more evil than any bomb.
Religion is evil, it is all about power and control, right vs wrong. The reality though is that there is no right vs wrong, only society and leaders create rules to fabricate right vs wrong. It's all about who is right and who is wrong...and that is our human nature..when we get together...

Just got a phone call...
by amama2six inmy oldest daughter (who is currently up in ct) just called to tell me my stepmother (wicked witch of the west) was in an accident yesterday evening.
she was riding a moped and crashed it into a parked car (don't ask me what an overweight 53 year old woman with bad knees is doing on a moped but whatever...supposed to save on the cost of gas or something).
anyway...she shattered her right leg and wrist in the accident (her good walking side) and apparently will never be the same.

It's not vindictive.....it's reality. The woman does not deserve for people to be nice to her, she is evil.
The stuff you have put up with would have drove me over the edge sweetie, but I do not have your patience and I fight back...
You do what you feel is right...you always do..

Thank's to all for the welcomes and kind words. I think I will fit in well here.
Let's just say "I have been around the block". I know doctrines extremely well, I know how the congregations run, and I fully understand how the leadership works.
I excelled at the public speaking and door-door activity, as I look back I feel bad for the people that I convinced about the "Truth"...it really was the "False". But hey, we are all grown-ups and we all make out own decisions...
Hopefully I don't come across as too aggressive, too opinionated, or too abrasive...for I am actually none of these (usually). I am very friendly and very knowledgeable, sometimes I get carried away.
For the record I am STILL baptized and in "good standing" with the congregation. Membership has it's privledges, I married the Overseers daughter so they "protect" me. I really could give a rat's ass but it makes peace in the family. My last "official" meeting was a long time ago, they had arranged for the Presiding Overseer, the Circuit Overseer, and a special envoy from Brooklyn to meet with me and get me "encouraged" and back in the flow.. It failed, I was far stronger than they were mentally and they pretty much gave up...with sad hearts... Whatever...it was they that needed to move on for this bird had already flown.
I have lots of stories and am a wealth of information....use me as you see fit...

We talked about what she was good at....and not good at...
I don't talk to my parents, they completely suck. My in-laws are so clueless they can't see the light of day...
They keep telling me.."I need to study".....WTF...study what? There is absolutely NOTHING anyone can say to me or try to teach me that I have not heard 100 times already...
***ain't buying it***

Nope....I converted her...who says manipulation is not good.
Remember our last conversation about my wife...too funny.
I have been out for a long time but my family and my wives family are into the Jehovah thing big-time. My FIL is the Presiding Overseer...needless to say...tensions are high.
They have tried to "talk common sense" into me, to no avail....

OK...here goes..
Name: Yikes (we know this is not real)
I come from a long line of J-dubs. I was involved actively for 8 years or so but lived the "life" for the 1st 29 years of my life. I married an Elders daughter and her family was very prominent in the congregation...they still are. The stories I can tell....
I am a pretty "free spirit" and the confines never worked for me, the rules, the BS, the politics....was not me.
*hated it*
I reached a very high level in the congregation and gave plenty of "Talks" and preached to the masses, yet did not believe a second of the shit I was tossing... I finally gave up the charade and moved on...now I have major marriage issues, major inlaw issues, and ALL J-dubs hate me....even though they should not hate...go figure...
