  I finally had witnesses knock on my door!!!!!

  2. friends

  i keep missing them i guess.....but had a father/daughter tag team come to my door an hour ago.

  i loved it when i asked them about the 'new light' and why that keeps happening when the bible has stayed the same...you could hear crickets....i also asked about the disfellowshipping/shunning thing and they said something about discipline...whatever!

  it's incredible that i was once one of them and was so enthusiastic about the borg!

  the elders would give me the assignment about a month before my speech.man i used to wake up at nights thinking about it,being so anxious,so depressed...i also used to read explosively fast in order to get back to my seat as soon as possible and leave during the second song.

  "it's a good think to be anxious about your assignment" they said.no motherockers it ain't good,it ain't no f()&uinng good it's like smashing one's balls with a sledgehammer.anyone had the same feelings?.

  this is an email i received from my brother in law:.

  after discussing with our family and several friends about the popular movie avatar, and the prevalence of "avatars" on the internet, we thought that other friends might be interested in what we found in our family worship research, tell us what you think:.

  merriam-websterdictionary - avatar: the incarnation of a hindu deity (as vishnu).

  While You Were A JW Did You Feel Controlled?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the governing body constantly tries to impose its will on jehovah's witnesses.

  they really don't want you to do anything but society approved things.

  everything is "bad".. we can see this quite clearly at this point.
