  Just Got Back From My First Assembly " Take Refuge in Jehovah! "

  thought i'd start a new topic on my experience.................... just got back from the above assembly.......... here is my take on my first and last assembly.

  9:40 song and prayer - half the people were still in the toilet...and no one was singing, i didn't have a song book (i am worldy you see!!

  ) so i just stood and stared at the odd looking fella on the stage miming, rather than singing!.

  Writing a Letter to the FDS

  i asked this question on another thread...but no one responded to it.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/199271/1/cameo-d-you-have-a-pm.

  i am just wondering because i know some of you have written letters to bethel or to the gb.

  but what would happen if you actually sent a letter and addressed it to a ficticious entity like the fds?

  If you do write one, perhaps include that because of rising fuel costs and running expenses of a Kingdom hall we should do away with the remaining mid week meeting in favor of a family movie night - Sundays are enough (although perhaps cut the WT to 1/2 hour).

  Why do men die before women?

  Because they want to!

  What silly things have you been counselled on or simply been told off for?

  so what silly things have you been counselled on or simply been told off for?.

  back in my early 20's, i had a pair of comfy old jeans that started to tear in about 3 places on the leg.

  it was the fashion at the time so not only did they feel great to wear, they also looked 'in', not that i cared for that, but it was a bonus .

  It's tough learning the truth

  by Cook My Socks UK in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this just came to me(after a few jd's).. i need another study!

  i was raised a jw as yound child and so have known nothing else(bar a few christmas and birthdays), what i read makes sense but doesn't make sense at the same time.

  i find it easy to dismiss what i read here but inside know it's not being true to myself.

  I feel CMSUK is in conflict and is spinning around instead of moving forward.

  This is the case, sometimes I even refuse to listen to myself - I have been cathecting this teaching for a long time, if I am honest though I have been in doubt for years - even packed it in for a while(the constant upset of my family was prob why I returned). The family thing is a big issue for me, it would take more than a miracle to make them see.

  I am not going to rush into anything - the comments / support from this forum really helps. Right now I have nobody else to talk to about this.

  I need another study! I was raised a JW as yound child and so have known nothing else(bar a few christmas and birthdays), what I read makes sense but doesn't make sense at the same time. Does anybody know what I mean? I find it easy to dismiss what I read here but inside know it's not being true to myself. Sometimes I think "screw it", live in ignorance, what does it matter anyway - in the big scheme of things who the hell am I. Other times I feel like I want to know the truth - I do have the Matt 5:3 need.

  Is it easier for people like me to carry on ignorant? Probably. But is it the right thing to do - no, but it's not easy

  i stopped trying to sing the songs last meeting.

  it felt like a combination of chanting and stepping on a cat.

  it is terrible.

  Needs the music but.....

  "Losing My Religion"
  
  Life is bigger
  It's bigger than you
  And you are not me
  The lengths that I will go to
  The distance in your eyes
  Oh no I've said too much
  I set it up
  
  That's me in the corner
  That's me in the spotlight
  Losing my religion
  Trying to keep up with you
  And I don't know if I can do it
  Oh no I've said too much
  I haven't said enough
  I thought that I heard you laughing
  I thought that I heard you sing
  I think I thought I saw you try
  
  Every whisper
  Of every waking hour I'm
  Choosing my confessions
  Trying to keep an eye on you
  Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
  Oh no I've said too much
  I set it up
  
  Consider this
  The hint of the century
  Consider this
  The slip that brought me
  To my knees failed
  What if all these fantasies
  Come flailing around
  Now I've said too much
  I thought that I heard you laughing
  I thought that I heard you sing
  I think I thought I saw you try
  
  But that was just a dream
  That was just a dream

  Most people think that they are crap, they wouldnt put it like that though

  I gave up singing as well, I just sing other songs in my head - Eg. REM(LOOSING MY RELIGION), if you don't know it Google it, pertinent.

  I like the line "Oh no Iv'e said too much, I haven't said enough".

  Again, not from the platform and we didn't see it, but - the bro on the mic forgot to leave it behind when he went to the bathroom during the song, sound guy had left it on and so we were all treated to his farting through - "lets watch what we preach and watch what we teach" song!
