That "something" about Mary might be that stuff in her hair... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

what we owe jehovah's witnesses.

I'd say that the leadership are owed a firm slap upside the head for their hypocrisy, their egomania and for the sheer misery they've caused people who either stay faithful to the WTS for life or for those who walk out for deeply personal reasons!

not sure about it specifically....but i see three catagories...and what do you think is the specific one is????
i fit in the first one...and you guys know what the deal breaker was for me.... (changing the bible to make it say what they wanted it to in the nwt...especially adding the name jehovah 237 times in the nt...or cgs....when there is zero ancient manuscript for doing so...even though rev says to not add nor delete nuttin...they added the name jehovah twelve time in rev alone....even though not a single one is a quote from the ot or hebrew scriptures!!
and that is not right either....how did we not notice that we have the only bible around with the name jehovah in the new testament.....sooo deceitful about that) (and that is the longest parentheses of my life)...lol.
holy fluck...i cant believe they just treated me like that and i aint never goin back
Pretty much sums it up for me...

i'll just come out and say it... i don't give a f**k about my birthday.
it's only a painful reminder that i'm one year closer to my grave.
i'm not here to pick a fight with those who do celebrate.

Okay... I guess there's *one* holiday you hate. You still won't get me to celebrate x-mas, though. Maybe I'll see you for turkey on some odd Thanksgiving Day. (Maybe I'll bend a little bit there...)
I do things for my own reasons; I don't need the world around me to dictate when I should be romantic, bake a turkey, etc. I'm sorry that your mom makes things harder for you during the holidays with her nitwit behavior...
There's more than one way to be a sheep, huh? I don't buy into the prescribed season for much of anything...
I will concede, like I have before, that you shouldn't be forced into celebrating things you don't care about BUT by the same token, we shouldn't force our joyless past upon innocent children. Let them be more "normal"...
now is a good time to start making preparations for the memorial night demonstration at your kingdom hall thursday, april 5, 2012, after sundown.. close to 20 million people will attend this annual global witness event including active witnesses, relatives and friends of witnesses, bible studies,return visits and still attached former witnesses.
the evils of the watchtower org.have to be exposed and this is an ideal time to do it.. many around the world have been adversely affected by their association with jehovah's witnesses and you can be an instrumental force by standing tall and courageously exposing the watchtower organization.. there is no better way to let the watchtower know your revulsion than to broadcast and present your view by standing fearlessly, demonstrating in front of a kingdom hall.. i am fully aware that a handful of the internet therapists who post on this forum will not agree with this method of unmasking the watchtower.. those intolerant, contemptuous critics who will comment on this thread making harsh judgements and finding fault with those who protest are perhaps deep-down wishing they had the backbone to stop hiding in cyber-space, step away from their computer and "get out of the bleachers and into the game" .
lets make this a global event!......
I don't know any who left the wt because of talking to protesters or reading banners.
I only remember protesters at conventions. As children, we were not allowed to look at them. I was scared of them. What added to my fear was that they were yelling and looked like crazy people.
The reason I left was because of being disturbed about things happening inside the congregation and the way they got handled by the elders.
Not going to the meetings was the best medicine. After a short while I lost my fear of the elders, there was no peer-pressure from the congregation and the realisation that I had no true friends at the hall. Eventually I came to my own conclusions without reading any apostate literature.
I'll second that, freetosee!
