  i did, but i have never told my story, i could not tell you my story here because it would be too revealing as to who i am.

  if i did not experience like what i have experienced, i would probably avoid those damn apostate sites like this site!

  well, i think it is a blessing for me to join this site because i have learned alot!

  I disagree. There are people who do bad & unjust things in EVERY religion. & I have been around long enough to see Jehovah weed some out.(48 years) We need to look at it as a test of our faith & try to not get disheartened. They will EVENTUALLY "get" theirs. A C.O. once said "Look around, Brothers & Sisters. Look at all your friends & family. Not every one sitting here are you going to see in the New System" That was an eye opener for me & I stopped looking at the Elders,Pioneers & perfect families each Hall has in a whole new light. From then on, I counted myself just as good as all the others. A wise person once said "A church (hall) is not a museum for saints.....it is a hospital for sinners. More profound words were never spoken.

  i remember some time ago....maybe 1980's?

  that there was an article in one of the mags about the wts purchasing a building in new york that had angels carved all over the walls & they were going to leave them there after telling people for years that we should have no angel figurines etc in our homes.the article was the society trying to justify their actions.

  does anyone know what i'm referring to?
