i am serving in an appointed position.
if you read my previous posts you will see.
an old girlfriend is accusing me of "grinding" which is porneia according to the society, and a disfellowshipping offense.

yes i need to move on so the yearbooks the bibles the bound volumes are going in the trash.
this is not an add so don't ask me to send something to you.
i'm too tired and stressed out.
Think of marriage as a business relationship. If it stopped working for one or both partners, and can't find an agreeable way to make it right or work out the differences, then it would be better to walk away with the good memories you have/cut your losses, then start over.
It's only going to work if both are moving in the same direction.
I wish you peace and happiness on your new ventures.

major changes in meetings, the weird drama this year, and just people reading on the internet, are causing a lot to leave the organization, or just fade.
is it possible that, just like a house of cards, the whole thing will fall apart soon?
i mean, this may be wishful thinking, but is it possible that people will start to dissassociate themselves in bigger numbers, then groups and families will do so, then bigger and bigger groups of friends will do it, and then people who hear about this will check on the internet and then do the same thing, then congregations have to be dissolved and merged, then the talks start getting meaner, and that makes even more people quit, then thousands start to leave.. possible?.
I read an article the other day about Branch Davidians that are still waiting for David Koresh's return.
How sad is that?
Some people will never give up.

so i'm watching family guy tonight and my aunt is all "that show is trash".
now where did she get an idea like that?
no, she hasn't ever watched the show but she was told by another dub of a segment that took place on one show.
Here's a picture of the Evil Jehovah Witness Monkey.
For those that don't watch.

the last assembly i attended was in 07. the do spoke about pushing and shoving and forcing the children to become bapticed!
i really was actually concerned not mad or angry but just concerned.
i think that was when i realized you have to either move on or become a part of the congregation and do your best to salvage whatever good there is in the congregations.
I received gifts for my baptism...
What the hell?...You got presents? ... Oh great, sumptin else I can add to my list of stuff I missed out on.

Welcome...and never NEVER stop asking questions....even when they tell you, "you think too much" or to wait on Jehovah. Just keep asking the questions, until you get a reasonable answer.

why is it not enough for witnesses when you tell them that you made the choice not to be a witness yourself and for you, and your family if you have one?
surely they must see that its not quick, rushed, evil or anything if they take into consideration that it affects whether or not you live forever, how you live and all kinds of things and that a matter of life and death from their perspective and yours isnt made lightly?.
i love my wife and son and my mother.
One of the last conversations I had with my dad, he said I needed to go to the elders and confess. (been df'd for 20+yrs)
I said "confess to what?: He said "YOU KNOW." I said, "why?" He said "or you wont' make it to the paradise." I said, "I don't want to live in paradise." He said, "Yes you do, stop lying!"

i knew this would happen.
i moved into a neighborhood where i knew some former "friends" and now they are patrolling my house and discovering gross sins on my behalf.
bs, for one, but no need to go there.
just heard the dirt on me from a relative
what kind of dirt? Anything worth repeating?
I always wondered what was/is said about me.
