how far does the "barking chain" of gossip spread from one kingdom hall's judicial committee to another kingdom hall?
the record to my personal knowledge (three counties away 100 miles.
)is i had a brother call me and ask if "brother so-and-so was going to be disfellowshiped on thursday night", he heard it from our cobe.
were forced to work with, men who can't keep their mouths shut to their prying wives (some annointed members or mentally diseased women with a Jezebel influence) insatiable ears for bad news.
Somehow you're redirecting the blame here, shall we make the anointed and the 'Jezebel' women responsible for the actions of boasting,indiscreet, thoughtless, power tripping elders in this cult? Mm.

does anyone have dreams or nightmares about jehovah's witnesses, the society, or your trapped loved ones?
i do all the time and they wont stop.
i wake up with cold sweats and an upset stomach.
Yes I do occasionally, I'm usually in a convention, and yes they are troubling dreams. That experience is difficult to delete.

to the household of god, israel, that is on jw.com, and all those who 'got with' them:.
may you have peace!.
because israel has, at this 'season' fallen asleep with regard to many 'things' that our lord, the son of god, jah-eshua mischa-jah ("jah saves"; messiah - "chosen of jah"), 'commanded' us to teach others (matthew 28:20), i am compelled by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies (psalm 68:4), that is in me, by means of my lord, to remind israel of one of such commandments.. on the night that he was put to death in the flesh, our lord gave a commandment, to which he stated "keep doing this in remembrance of me.
The lengths some people will go to just to attack another! Unbelievable

i occasionally go on self-improvement benders, as witness my attempt to eat healthy food this week.
that is going well, so i thought i'd check out where i am intellectually.
the guardian recently published a list of the 100 greatest novels of all time.
I've just read Child 44 which was excellent, a thriller based in Stalin's Russia. I have too many favourites, probably my all time is Cider with Rosie by Laurie Lee. I hope this thread grows I love a good book thread!

i've made all of 68 posts.. on the otherhand, i visit the site daily and try to read every thread.

What a thoughtful and insightful post. Thank you Jeremiah. Many of us can relate to your difficulties re time and circumstances, and there is a kind of large crowd of more well known/established posters on the forum. Many are wise and experienced and very welcoming, but sometimes it can be slightly intimidating. Quality supersedes quantity for many here though, so don't be discouraged and I look forward to your future posts whenever you can.

while i am still kind of new on my journey here, and may have a mixed bag of similarties and differences with all of you, i am in fact fading away from the religion of my youth.
in doing so, i have mostly been left alone.
meaning, my friends and family generally know i am "having a hard time" with a few things.
You obviously realise that you have to be careful that you don't say something that gets you in front of a JC for apostasy but if you're wanting to wake others up that you care about, then you could just pose a question. One that you know the answer would lead individuals to start thinking about the credibility of the WTBS as god's spokespeople on earth today? Be careful, I wish you well.

why doesnt god heal amputees?.
not one amputee healing...... why only invisible, ambiguous disease?.
http://whywontgodhealamputees.com/god5.htm.
Lol, reminds me of the joke about the faith healer in his demonstration, with an amputee and a stutterer behind the curtain, faith healer says "Let's see the glory of The Lord, Peter, step out! " "Voice from the curtain says "Ppp-pppeter's fallen over!"

in both question and statement form, one word thats overused to the point of nausea is truly.
- is that truly the case?
got new for whoever is asking; either that is the case or that is not the case.
I like Lionel Richtea's version.
