I have gotten the same email....But that last paragraph isn't true. According to the WT society just being at the table isn't enough. That you SHOULD feel guilty for even sitting there, that your chair leg is broken that you chew with your mouth open... Criticism after criticism....You are not using the right fork etc. I WISH it were like that...Oh, just welcome to the table...But it's not. When you are at the table they have mucho rules for ya.

Begging for money at Bethel
by life is to short inthe thread about the circuit assembly accounts and where the money goes reminded me of one time when we were at bethel.. we were at bethel between 1991 to 1994, there had been some problem in another country and at morning worship they asked all of us bethelites to put in at least one dollar a person to send to the brothers in this problem country.. at the time my husband and i just did not have it.
we only got $90 a person so $180 a couple.
ok i know we had a free place to live but we still had to pay for car gas to the hall our car insurance, air conditioning, shampoo, clothes, etc.

I went for a temp assignment in 95. They put us out in the hot sun ALL day to grind badly poured concrete...to even it out. WHY they didn't do that as they were pouring I will never know! So I was drinking water all day long because of it. Some of the workers thought I wasn't doing my part because I took water breaks every 5 minutes. Then you had to RUN to lunch. NOT WALK...RUN! BUT...You had to have a frickin shower and change into meeting clothes first. I was praying for my two weeks to end. So when I got home the local congregation wanted to interview me...Except they FORGOT! It was at the last minute that they interviewed me and I said I hated it. The overseer got surprised...But then I answered then the next week it was ok. I was interviewed not with a microphone but standing up in a get together after being promised they would do it from the platform...So glad I didn't go back...
But before that experience Dad and I applied to Bethel. He had STUDIED with the best architect in the WORLD...Frank Lloyd Wright. That's right...My father was a student of the master. So he went up to Bethel and applied at the architecture office etc. The main architect at Bethel was so frickin jealous that they turned him down right there. My father had more qualifications in his pinky than the entire office and he couldn't get a job working for FREE for them. Dad brought his portfolio showing his masterpieces that he had designed etc. The YOUNG architects were amazed. It was like Elvis was in the building. The main jackass in charge though was trying to protect his fiefdom. Prick!

I also remember when Sherri said that she was in HUGE debt in 1975. Thing is ....She was 9 years old or so in 75. She doesn't help the apostate case with her idiodicy.

Open relationships, polyamory and swinging
by techdotcom inhas anyone else, after leaving the restrictive rules of the jw world, tried having an open marriage, joining the 'lifestyle' of the swinger comunity?
we've been doing that for about 4-5 months now and it's been an interesting experience, in fact it's been a major distraction from the hell of rebuilding our lives outside the religion and our base of friends.

There is one thing I don't get with the Bible's version of Adam and Eve....IF A and E were these horrible sinners and apostates that CHOSE Satan's side, then WHY oh WHY did Adam teach his kids about Jehovah SO MUCH to where Abel became a dedicated servant of him? Adam and Eve will supposedly never get a resurrection because of their wickedness right? If they were SO wicked then why did they use their time to talk about God to their kids?

I'm starting to develop a real hatred toward this religion
by man in black inthis past week i flew out of town to attend a seminar for work, then afterwards i drove 150 miles extra to go and visit my dad.. two years ago my mom died, and the lack of concern/caring from the so-called "friends" from two different states was a major reason why i walked away from the jw religion.. anyway, my dad is depressed and his local hall has him doing more fs, and attending the meetings,,, ok so that could be a good thing for him.. but i noticed that service and meeting attendance is the only thing that they are pushing on him.
nobody seems to check up on him, he just jumped at the chance to go out to eat with me.
and the negativity !!!

How does faith sidestep reason? I have a court case right now that is 99% sure that I will win. I have FAITH that I will win. Based on facts. It does not sidestep reason.
