"Why I Hate Barack Obama" fundamental baptist preaching

by alice.in.wonderland in

would you be happier if jehovah's witnesses spoke like the freak pastor steve anderson?

fast forward to 13:00 and 19:00 for the main points.

The point is we have ' CHRISTIAN FREEDOM' to agreee or disagree. As a JW there is no 'CHRISTIAN FREEDOM'.

I started taking control of my life

by loosie in

5 years ago when i attended my last meeting.

ever since i started making decisions, instead of waiting on jehovah, things have been happening faster for me, its weird.. all my life i was told just wait on jehovah, wait on him for a husband, wait on him for children, wait on him for a happy life.. well you know what i stopped waiting and i am happy!!!!.

yes i did get a wonderful husband (who adores my every move) while in the org.

RosePetal

loosie that's great thumbs up from me too. While I was still in and in my late thirties I thought to myself I have no education [ I was doing a cleaning job at the time to help make ends meet, it was getting me down as I had health problems over the years] I've had enough of this I'm going back to college, it didn't interfere with meeting attendance so no one said anything. I am so glad I did as I now have business from home.

I really recommend going back to college at any age, I am really happy for you life is just beginning.

Good luck Love RosePetal

Sundays

by Cthulhu in

jw
friends

i used to wake up early (sometimes really early if i still had to study my wt) and got right off to the kh.

then it was afternoon service well into the evening, which left me just enough time to read a few articles from the new magazines or a few chapters from the bible before i was off to bed.

sunday for me really is sort of a day of rest, and not in some sabbatical sense of the word either.

RosePetal

Hubby and I go to the local baptist church at eleven oc. so we still get a lie in. We have a lovely time there and have made loads of friends. We don't have to study up it like we did when JWs. Then we go to our local country pub for a sunday roast. Sometimes friends come with us, then as it is summer we go to for a walk in the park and chill out. Today as it is my birthday I am staying in and having nice time with family I am waiting for my birthday cake.

Unlike when we were JWs if we don't go to church one week nobody chases you up in a judgmental way. People are genuinly concerned for us. It is so refreshing. Well that's our experience anyway. And since attending church we are accomplishing more productive work for the Lord than we ever did as JWs with all there studying and there obsessive meeting attendance, and we still get plenty of time to enjoy reading and studying the Bible without being dictated to what we have to study.

Well I am chilling out now Love RosePetal

Can you feel the 'lurve'?

by HappyOutsideTheBox in

would this email encourage you back to the meetings?.

dear *****:.

we are so very discouraged that you did not attend the d.c.. there are no two sides of this issue today.

RosePetal

We were treated like that when we were still in. My hubby and I were going through some horrible times with illness and problems. They were hard as nails. All they were interested in was where's your report, not at meetings enough, even though we explained our situation just told, '' you don't have enough faith''. When we did get to a meeting the elders and their wives would ignore us.

I remember walking to shops and elders and wives would literaly cross the road to avoid us. They obviously marked us. They did this to others in the congo. I am not surprised at the response. If they can do it to their brothers who are still believe in the borg. but going through problems and feel justified to be harsh and unloving your situation..........well words fail me....... they think that is going to bring you back. All I can say is that is not ''LOVE'' yet they will think they have done a loving thing it boggles the mind.

I used to think to myself Jesus would not treat us like this if he was here as a man, he had compassion, the org. is hard as nails and don't really care, but we used to keep going. There was a point were I was so poorly and hubby had to look after me we stopped going for a year. But we didn't even get a letter, just forgotten about.
