since i know the truth about jw, and still have to go to meetings for family reasons (and because i don't want to leave my friends, either) i get so sick in my chair in the hall.
i can't pay attention, i can't sit still knowing it's all such a waste of time and a big fat lie.
i get weird symptoms like: the feeling that i'm going to almost pass out, very sweaty or very cold, and weak legs though i'm sitting down, and the urge to get up and run away.
Your mind knows that you should not be there. Your body wants to leave too. That's what happening. You feel threatened in that environment, which is unhealthy.
You are not ready to leave. I was not ready to leave for a year. Finally I realized that I would never be ready to leave, that there would never come a good time to leave, only bad times to leave. When I realized that, I left.
who have added and who has taken away.
not have to be a genius to understand these words.. god says, "this is the end".
don,t tamper with it, his.
The WTS even uses special brackets to point out where they have added words.
I guess they are not impressed with the plagues described in Revelation.
if we weren't invited, this is the "bragging" information we missed last saturday, oct. 22, 2011, at the zone meeting with tie-in from patterson, ny .
59 locations tied-in plus spanish.
anticipating 258,000 attendance from tickets given out.
I hope they come up with a mobile debit card machine that people can pass around during the program. As long as it's not a plate it's ok.
this is a very good find from another jw only web site i have access to... hey i just found this on a link of my mom's that she is "friends" with, yes, still a jw...anyway, i had to copy/paste it so you could all see, thought it was a bit hilarious to see how they blatantly speak of keeping info from "outsiders.
" i did not copy the name of the person since that is not my point and i am not that disrespectful, but i did copy their comment...they were discussing the wt about killing all apostates and someone that was studying asked a question as to whether they all thought that was right or not, so here it is..............."james... although its a great article and very encouraging, as apostates do deserve to be murdered, it may not be such a good idea to reveal it our friend zeek at this moment.
he may find it a tad over the top.
Yes sizemik, that's it, thanks. Can you smell the craziness? It's insane. It's also weird that they point out you can't kill apostates, even if they're your family. As if somehow you are more prone to killing family members than strangers. Whoever wrote that article has some weird fanatasies.

Although it may sound extreme I remember a couple of years ago a watchtower saying that unfortunately we cannot kill apostates in the current system of things.. can anyone look that up? I can't seem to find it.
i had a dream last night that i went to a meeting.
the speaker announced we were going to sing the "we're jehovah's witnesses" song, to which i said an audible "dear god" which got a bunch of dirty looks from other people sitting by me.
so now i'm awake, sipping my coffee, and i have "we're jehovah's witnesses" stuck in my head.
Counter those JW songs with their satanic counterparts:
- Last Christmas
- 'Tis the season to be jolly
- All I want for christmas
- Simply having a wonderful christmas time
- White Christmas
- Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
- Jingle bell rock

I guess we didn't miss anything then, just some gorilla banging his chest feeling important.
today i saw one the top five art exhibits i have ever seen in my life.
this show is also going to the louvre and detroit.
rembrandt's paintings and drawings were split up when he filed for a special form of bankruptcy.
Apparently it's in Philadelphia now?

He looks so normal.. more approachable, more real than what I'm use to in the WT literature.
over the past year or so my neighbor and two of his jw elder's have been witnessing to me about his family's practiced religion, jw.
i am a practicing independent baptist regular church go'er.
i have finally made up my mind regarding converting to jw based on my neighbors jw witnessing.
Although I no longer believe in the bible, I'd like to quote Matthew 23:13
" Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to."
If you ever visit the memorial of the ransom sacrifice, you will see a hall full of people refusing the blood and flesh of Jesus and this scripture will be clearly demonstrated.

the dangers of being deceived (page 10/11).
to deceive, says one dictionary, means to cause to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid.
I remember being interested in totalitarian regimes and reading 1984 as a dub. Never did I notice the parallels when viewing propaganda posters of North Korea with the art style of the JW magazines. It just completely went by me. Even if somebody would have pointed it out I would have simply said "Yes but we are based on the bible!" or some other dumb thoughtstopper.
If you are deceived you never know! Once you know, you are no longer deceived.. so we should always ask ourselves, are we being deceived?
