I've been to a catholic church and I must agree with you. I watch mass on EWTN when I'm bored sometimes.

How often did you comment at meetings?
by LDH ini have a theory and i'd like to put it to the test here.. i would be willing to bet that the posters who post a great deal probably commented more than the average publisher at the meetings.. i know it's true in my case.. on simon's forum we have the whole range of 'publishers-' from those that comment a lot ---down to those that are just there.
the lurkers.. what about you?.

by Kevinson innot to sound critical of this new expression in this forum, but it sounds like another organizational trap to me.
if you prove your loyallty, you will be contacted?
isn't that why many leave jw's, so they won't have to do that anymore?

Sister Disfellowshiped! (Commentary)
by Kevinson inmoments before the event, i enter the bathroom.
my stomache is tense, the song is being played in the auditorium.
i'm not so much concerned with the supposed salvation she has lost, but with how difficult it will now be to associate with her.

Moments before the event, I enter the bathroom. My stomache is tense, the song is being played in the auditorium. I'm not so much concerned with the supposed salvation she has lost, but with how difficult it will now be to associate with her. I guess deep down I don't really care if my continued association is found out. What concerns me most is getting all these uneccesary dub thoughts and feelings expelled from my being. I've found spiritual conviction still remains, but it's more personal and real now. The biggest difference now? I feel clueless on some of the bigger realities, but at least I'm not trying to fool myself anymore! O.K., the announcement should be made any minute now...da de da da de da...account reports,etc...new arrangements, blah,blah,blah...a demonstration...OooooHHhh, how to LOVE SERVICE! Damn! 8:40, still nothing! Now sitting in the middle of the coat rack, getting back up going back to a bathroom stall, much better. G.B's encouraging letter..."yawn". More B.S. 9;01 now, what the hell? Maybe they forgot? 9:05, the meeting almost over. Is this possibly the first time in disfellowshiping history an announcements been forgotten?( I personally have never seen one made this late.) 9:09, going once...going twice...9:12, going into O.T.! Highly unlikely the announcements going to be made. DOH! 9:14, it's official! ***** ******** has been disfellowshiped! Glory to God! Well, time for me to go out and recieve fake comfort, SEE YA!

True religion - anyone have a clue?
by Tin Man inwhat is the true religion anyone have a clue?.
i would love to know, if anyone does have a clue; being a witness most of my life it gave me this feeling like i really was in the true religion and god really was with me cause i belonged to the "true religion.. i have noticed that witness's say the elders were appointed by holy spirit, how do they know did they see it, it just dawned on me that all of it has been based on the premise that i had to have faith in what they say rather then substantiated facts; all of what they say simply put is nothing more then words, contrived by men only, if you tell them this you get the treatment like your going to be destroyed which is paramount to going and burning in hell.

My take on this whole mess of religion and truth is.....STOP LOOKING!!!I agree with many points others have brought out in this thread. My own condensed version is this, you are created with a spiritual capacity, use it, explore it, that's what it's there for. Noble motives are a definite plus in my opinion. Good luck!

My take on being a JW (dub)
by Kevinson inahhhhhh.....30 years in this thing and i think i got the best explanation i could think of as to the core of dubbyland.
"in reality they are excircising their god-given freedom to express their beliefs in a public way, united in the conviction that they are good enough to earn god's approval while the rest of mankind is just refuse waiting to be burned.
to me there's a difference between saying one follows known truths in the world, instead of claiming (we are the only one's who have it!
