I feel sorry for the artists who are clearly wasting their talent ....
But who doesn't like seeing people run in terror from fireballs in the sky....
Its love ....I tell you, its love....
i used to really like the drawings as a kid.
the artists, i think, are usually pretty good, not so much at portraying emotions but in technical ways.
the photos always seemed silly to me.. so what do all of you think?.

Hey....we would let a 12 year old get married, right??
No reason they can't make a more important vow of dedication.
They are clearly nutjobs.
a few years back, when my elder brother was still talking.
to me, he mention that, brothers was divorceing there wife.
and marring younger sisters.
One of the most overlooked problems in this organization.
It happens ALL THE TIME.....I could reel off a dozen names in my area where this was the case.
Little do they seem to realize they are doing the VERY SAME THING GOD CONDEMNED IN MALACHAI....in fact, that same elder will get on stage and give a talk on Malachai.
I honestly think most JW's are just brain dead.
i'm sitting here at work by myself reminiscing about an old situation that created unneccesary tension.
a few years ago as my mother was in the hospital just diagnosed with ovarian cancer,most family were already at the hospital but my sister who lived in new york at the time had not arrived yet.
my mother who was newly reinstated and knew that my sister and her ex husband now boyfriend wanted to stay the week in her house.
I was involved in an experience AFTER I resigned as an elder......where my friends ( The brother came to me as a respected former elder.... he was an MS) ...mother was dying of cancer....her fiancee would come over and feed her food, medication and WHEEL her to the bathroom where he had to aid her in 'relieving herself'
No one wanted that job. he loved her so much that, even though not yet married, he was there by her side. The elders disciplined him, told the sisters NOT to help her, due to their disobedience in not having a chaperone!!!!!!!
It was one of the final straws in my exit.
She died. Ruined. Alone.
When I went to the funeral at the KH, one of the elders started to approach me.....I looked at him with a look of DEATH and shook my head....he stopped in his tracks and backpedaled.
I'm convinced I would have hit him.
watchtower 15th jan 1958 page 62 qfr.. why, after receiving from god the express command to multiply and fill the earth, did adam and eve refrain from carrying out this procreation mandate while they were perfect in the garden of eden?.
asking this question concerning adam and eve is like trying to meddle in the private affairs of a christian married couple today, and asking why they have had no children as yet.
jehovah god set no definite time for adam and eve to begin having perfect children to fill the earth.
You just can't make this stuff up.....
Insane.
.
...that if i'm interested in someone, i read through their posting history to see what kind of people they are.. .
there.
Whoa.....us quite people better speak up...... I want a stalker LOL
i'm curious about how people filled the void after leaving the jws.
i'm at a point, a bit over a year after leaving, where i am finding i have confronted the reality of my life and situation... and it's depressing.
i realize i have holes in my life (a significant other, social activities, something higher/beyond myself) which many worldly people naturally have filled but it feels unnatural for me, almost synthetic and it makes me more depressed the more i think about it.
Gym
Women & Relationships
Travel

let's call it a very ugly version of "joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat" recreated as a musicless "a young life serving god ain't worth living.".
it included a highly fictionalized account of joseph being abused by his brothers for serving god and being loved by jacob.
there was no mention of joseph's dreams that degraded his brothers and father.
Just more of the same from "the happiest people on earth"
You can almost see the teenagers counting the minutes until they can run from "the Truth"
They've destroyed themselves...
i have just thought of a way to leave jehovah's witnesses using information from the new shepherd the flock of god book.
it's quite simply: rebaptism.
here are the steps:.
What the hell?
How about walk out the door and never look back??
