I am falling into my old habit

when i studied jw stuff at first i coundn't get enought of it.. then i got overloaded with the same old crap lost interest then got bored then started liking fluff.. then .

two years ago when i started to really question everything about the wts i read everything i could find, did research, read ray's book, studied the chonological data on 607 etc, etc, etc.

now i have lost interest in trying to prove them wrong.when i see a long winded post about the organization and what we can do to damage them ijust can't read it.

Are you experiencing earthquakes, famine, war etc. and at the same time? It can't be individual occurances, it has to happen at the same time..

the "what if somebody from the board dies" thread got me thinking, what kind of funeral service i would like.. now this isn't for everyone, so if you're one of those people that really is serious despite an occasional joke by the book then it's probably not for you.

just don't project anything into it - i'm not depressed and i'm not gonna kill myself, if you need to project something just assume i'm stupid or whatever.

for the rest of you, i'd just like to share this because chances are we'll never meet and it's unlikely that you'd even find out i died.

So here's what I have so far - theme music - so far all Spinal Tap songs. First, I figure I'll have a few words recorded, in the background can be "Listen to the Flower People". When the casket is lowered the last half of "Hell Hole" would be playing, and at the reception of course you have to have "Cups and Cakes".

Rumors that they spread about you. When you left.

for some time now i have been reading numerous indivisual life stories relating to their experience with the jws and one obscure ( or at least not directly elabourated upon) detail keeps popping up.. it would appear that whenever a person leaves the organisation by da/df/ia that people take it upon themselves to start spreading "nasty rumours" about the person in question.. it always seems that so much of these said rumours that were frabicated and then propagated throught the local jw community that the poaster almost never seems to have time to goint any detail about what exactaly was said about them in detail.. i would like to invite the posters here on the board to shed some light on their experience regarding their reputation after leaving the kh.. it would appear that once disfelloshipped that the jw community must make it abundantly clear that the person is of absolutely deplorable character inorder to justify their inhumane treatment of the df'ed indivisual.

saying that there is no honourable way to leave the oragnisation this seems to be rather common place.. i am also informed that even if the df'ed person were permitted to return that their reputation within the jw community would never be the same due to the tarnishing of their name and the stigma attached to being df'ed.. i may not be entirely too shure about this one but it would seem that if while still in good standing should the indvisual to become "publicly reproved" or "marked" that this would also be an invitation for the local jw community to begin the same process of defaming the character of the person in question.. would anyone care to discuss your personall experience relating to any private information which became public knowledge after you left the jw community or any half truths that were deileberately propagated to tarnish your name in the vacinity of the kh.

and even worse yet blant lies that were imagined and promoted about you inorder to permanatently damage your character.. i would also be interested in who exactly you think were responsible for the iniation of these rumours.. was it the elders?

Introspection

I'm with you Goph, there has been times where I know there is gossip of a positive kind (not in the WTS) but I don't bother finding out what it is, even when someone tells me point blank people are talking about me. I figure if they really want to know what I think, they can talk to me.

Just detox, after that things tend to take care of itself - we have our own healing mechanism. Of course, for many they've had some kind of autoimmune problem ever since birth so their system don't really know what it is to be healthy..

The philosophy class

by Scorpion in

a college student was in a philosophy class which had a discussion about god's existence.

"has anyone in this class seen god?

"has anyone is this class heard our professor's brain?

Introspection

It may have been more interesting to twist it around by asking "Has anyone seen Mickey Mouse? Has anyone touched Mickey Mouse? Has anyone heard Mickey Mouse?" and then conclude "Therefore, Mickey Mouse must exist."

I'm going to Disneyland.

P.S. This has nothing to do with Dutchie's cute signature

Escape by Metallica

by Disposable Hero in

as some of you already know, i'm a huge metallica fan, i'm not too crazy about the new stuff, but i like the older stuff up unitl about 91. many of metallica songs have a dark side to them; death, war,destruction, misplaced justice, etc.

one song that seems to stick out that one can relate to escaping the watchtower is "escape" on the "ride the lightning" album.

anyways, here are the lyrics.

Introspection

I understand Cliff Burton was considered the "soul" of Metallica, like a lot of people I just didn't get anything from their music after he died.
