this has been an interesting science project to say the least.
here is what i have learned:.
you have about 6 types of people posting on jwn, they all fit into a profile.. #1 you have people like me that ran the race, exemplified conduct while in the jw cult and learned through observation that there was a severe disconnect between truth, and the jw cult's statements.
lol Mr. Mustard. I can't believe anyone is taking this dude seriously.He has been incredibly insulting in his "analysis " of the people on JWN. Cpt. Kirk, me thinks that you are a poser. You are not an intellectual.
as i've posted multiple times before, i am new to many of the aspects of wts scandals so a couple weeks ago, i was on youtube and heard of a group concept from tim kilgore called the vaa (vast apostate army).. personally, i like the concept of former witnesses and anti-watchtower proponents uniting to stand against the wrong doings of the organization.
i would like their rally in a few years to succeed.
if things look promising enough, i more than likely will go.. but honestly, i don't know much about the vaa, and since it's not a concept with that "new car smell" i imagine people have more infor to offer.. i saw on older posts that witnesses are not fans of the idea of anyone banding together en masse against them, as they go to the lengths of calling the vaa a terrorist organization (though no acts of violence or tyranny have been committed or threatened).. so if anyone can offer insight into this group, it would help a man know if it's a group worth rallying with.. .
When I did the CA silent protest that was the VAA. It exists, it just is difficult to herd us like BP says. I just try to do whatever I can to try to open some JW eyes.
so i got a hankering to go to church.
i waffle between being an atheist, being angry with god, and liking jesus, and wishing my perception of god and religion hadn't been so tainted by the evil wts.. my grandma was methodist before becoming a jw, so i lean toward going to a methodist church when i get the urge to go.. the service was nice, about being a "called christian" as opposed to just being called a christian.
it was a nice service.

The service was nice, about being a "called Christian" as opposed to just being called a Christian. It was a nice service. There was singing, and I sang along, the songs were joyful, praises to god and Jesus.
So the last time I was in a church I still had some WT influence that kept me from taking communion. I decided I would take it today. Even though I do not really consider myself a Christian anymore, I feel like all the time when I was a JW I should have been partaking because I considered myself a Christian.
So I got in line to go to the front of the church to receive the bread and the wine. I took the piece of what appeared to be a marble rye (leavened bread!), and turned to the Reverend to drink the wine. There was a brief awkward moment when I tried to wrest the wine goblet from the Reverend to drink the wine, he kindly told me I was supposed to dip the bread in the wine.
I think I will go to the KH for the Memorial this year. This time I will participate.
Yeah, this happened post-Katrina. My aunt was really pushing it on me. Not that having a disaster plan is a bad thing. Of course, that was when I was just an inactive, now that I am an apostate, I'm pretty sure she doesn't care if I survive a disaster or not.
She showed me some of the stuff in her disaster pack that I found funny. She had nice little outfits for herself. A lavender jogging suit with some flat shoes. I was thinking, WTH? I think she might have even had a skirt in there, like in her mind in a disaster she still needed to be cute and perhaps go to the meetings. I'll be putting army fatigues/cargo pants type stuff in mine. If there is a disaster, the last thing I'm trying to be is pretty. I'm going to morph into a mentally unbalanced Vietnam vet, so maybe I can get through the disaster without getting raped. My disaster pack will be full of weapons, freeze-dried food, etc.
I wonder if the JW disaster pack includes a bible or any publications?
" love cover a multitude of sins ".
that's what the good book say's, and it's true, in order to stomach the.
"chocolate pies " of the wts you definitely need to cover it wit somethin'.
Actually, I don't even see how they are even trying to make it palatable anymore. They are basically telling folks nowadays to just swallow (lol) no matter what it smells or tastes like, dammit!
this was the official reply after i had sent an e-mail to a lot of elders in the us through their own mailing lists (hundreds of key members of the jw hierarchy in all 55 states were hit).

Well, I wrote a letter to HQ 3 years ago and never received any kind of acknowledgement from them. What am I doing wrong?

Girl, are you trying to put me off chocolate! Please stop likening their hot steaming crap to chocolate! Just call it what it is, shit!
It would be so awesome to get a spot there.For those who don't know, they are offering free tuition for all students enrolled in the next 3 years.
