  The moment I knew it was crap....

  by Brocephus in

  already had doubts from the time i got pubes... but i was about 15 and we were studying the revelation "book" for the upteenth time.

  i realized for every actual bible verse they qouted there was 2-3 paragraphs of conjecture, assumption, faulty logic and just plain stupidity.

  that's when i began to plan my escape.

  Good point Dinah... I remember when I started actually reading something besides the NWT. They can't hold their doctrine up with any other translation.

  There is actually a page in my old book where I was 12 and doing the math of how old I would be if Armageddon came at 2000 (which I thought it might) I calculated I would have exactly 4 months of binge drinking and other immorality before I had to straighten up for God's big temper tantrum.

  prayer before eating

  by stillin in

  i mentioned to an elder/friend the other day that it occurred to me that there really doesan't seem to be any scriptural precedent or mandate for the tradition of praying before we eat.

  i said that jesus blessed the loaves and fishes when he performed that miracle, and he blessed the wine and bread at the last supper, but i couldn't think of any other example of it.

  i also suggested that the tradition of praying before eating was probably rooted in giving thanks to the various gods of nature and the perception og god as being involved in the outcome of the harvest, and that, by that way of looking at it, we probably shouldn't pray before eating....silence..

  So you can be like the Phairees and show off how pious you are by embarassing everyone with you at Luby's.

  Did you read the literature?

  by WuzLovesDubs in

  initially i suppose i did.

  i know i over studied the articles for the wt study because i thought my enthusiasm as a study would make me more accepted.

  but after awhile i didnt read the awakes at all except for a cursory glance because i was giving them to people.

  I used to "illustrate" the illustrations with my pen or highlighter. I wish I had saved those. I rememeber adding captions like a comic strip to a lot of the pictures in the Revelation book. I wish I had copies I could scan, it would be hilarious.

  at a certain point, you just get tired of watchtower-bashing.

  i kinda miss the awesomeness my life had when things were more normal.

  when i didn't know about being in a cult.

  Sd-7 I think 80% of your problems can be solved by telling your wife you are going to the store a pack of smokes and six pack and never coming back. But that's my f-cked up solution to a f-cked problem. My advice is dangerous.
