  It's official - 20 years out and free

  ok 20 years out only 10 years free (cuz sometimes i'm a slow learner).

  yup may makes 20 years since i officially got the boot.

  20 years since i lost my entire way of life and had to start all over - no money, no home, no education, no job.. there's a sad kind of irony here in that except for the education i'm sort of in the same boat.

  nothing is new light. The components idea was introduced in 2000/2001 but the R&F didn't understand what was hitting them. Now the WT can say it is not a new policy, it has been in place for several years.

  All the WT is doing is f**king with people's lives. Shame on them.

  Best Service Meeting Item - ever !

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the listeners thread about service meetings got me to think, ok , so what was the best service meeting item you ever heard?

  we all know and remember the bad ones, but with all our collective years of seat warming on a thurs/fri night, there must have been some good ones.. i nominate the item a few years ago on the dangers of the internet.

  it made it sound so exciting that i went off down the public library to find out how to use this new invention - the rest is history ....

  Hubby gave that talk at the service meeting. Then he went home and got on the internet.

  Like you said.....the rest is history!

  i can't thank ray franz enough for what he wrote and how he has affected people for the better.

  while reading his books and seeing threads about him i have always wondered how his wife reacted when he started telling her about his doubts and trouble with the society.

  how did she react when she had to leave bethel with him?

  welcome also "Iamforeverfree".

  Sorry to hear about your dad. But he was just a follower of an evil destructive cult. Otherwise they wouldn't have the blood policy. He did what he thought "God" wanted for him. Glad you know the difference between "God" and the Watchtower.

  for those who had the privilege of serving at El's house ( Bethel) it was easy to see the hypocrisy of the WTBT. As Ray said once.....when you've been in the kitchen, you know what the resturant is really like.
