Well, Kensho, in the end you'll know when your cup runneth over. Sooner or later the last straw will be piled on and break the proverbial camel's back. Let's just hope that it doesn't come at a significant cost to your sanity...

as time goes on i find it a real challenge to keep my sanity while still in "the truth" especially after considering all the rsearch i have been doing about the org.
that i have been very active in for almost 4 decades.
i have managed to be removed as an elder while staying in good standing (prayers-reading,mic carring etc.

according to an ex-jw who still half-believes in the jws, we're all a bunch of bitter apostates that can't move on.. do you agree?.
.
I'd rather be outside now and remain bitter (but slowly healing) than still be on the inside and further risk my mental health (and possible suicide)...

a jw came in as i started my shift today and said that he tried to contact me before but i wasn't there.. i'm deaf and the brother was from an asl congregation.. i used to do calls like that but didn't realize how irritating and upsetting it could be for the employee/householder.
i told him that i used to be a jw but quit.. he asked me if i was under discipline or df'd or something..
wtf?!
The problem at the very least, Krettnawe, is that many JWs don't understand what the word "NO" really means. In my book, that's a BIG problem. I could easily see this problem getting to the point where WD might end up having to take out a restraining order against these folks if they can't take NO for an answer. This is starting to get a little disturbing IMHO...

i hate assemblies.
i can't stand the contrived, rehearsed, robotic sound of the interviews and experiences.
i can't stand the repeated references to the fds, and i especially can't stand the college education bashing that seems to be thrown in there in just about every other talk.. here's my assesment of the assembly:.
@Este,
"False hope can be a bliss, but watch out for the consequences" - Anonymous
There's nothing more cruel than false hope. That's why I'm sick of hearing anything that is reminiscent of the false hope that I left behind with my JW past. I and many others are sick of the "snake oil" that you and others like you here are trying to sell us...

Leave the W.T.S. behind and follow my "inspired" writings, they are "for real".

Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.

You fired the first shot, Nomad. For someone who likes to be blunt, you sure don't take it well when it's directed back at you, huh?
I have to agree with what SweetBabayCheezits said about you in another thread... about your incessant, sarcastic LOLs not being his cup of tea? Not mine either...
We all discriminate. It all depends to what degree we do it and how it affects others in real life. As long as most of it is kept under out hats, what's the problem?
