  The Jehovah's Witness religion has gone for good !!!

  by snare&racket in

  2. friends

  i am not sure how you all feel as we all left at different times for different reasons.... but this new bible seems to have put some final nails into a coffin that was once my jw life.

  the religion is so far and so different to the religion i grew up in that it has become something i feel no affiliation with anymore, no bond, no shared ideas or even sentimental views.

  different teachings on when the end is coming.

  the tuesday night book study---early 60's--handsworth---birmingham--UK

  in the parlour of the lovely old sister--one of the annointed--a winters evening. an hours walk away -(we didnt own a car back then )

  why didnt the daft old bat light the fire-??-the room was freezing.

  and the west indian brother taking the book study--?--- a jamaican accent--the rest of us couldnt understand a single word he said.

  and me--reading the paragraphs out loud--no one could understands a single word i said-----my teeth were chattering so bad.

  what a bunch of total crackpots---and god was going to save us bunch of loonies--?

  these are apparently real complaints received from a uk tour operator.

  no country has a monopoly on having stupid people!.

  these are actual complaints received by thomas cook vacations from dissatisfied customers:.
