  just a thought yesterday as i was eating lunch with my 5 yr. old son.

  the restaurant had ccr's bad moon rising playing, and i thought,.

  this could be a real up temp song to sing at the hall and it even has the lyrics that speak of impending doom.

  Yes, AnnOMaly, you're right. That's the song. A dead ringer for the Looney Tunes one.

  Muse! Yes!

  I could just see 1,000 people at a circuit assembly belting this out. Bass and synthesizers pumping... Good one!

  The Looney Tunes song- nice- I believe that little piece of the tune was in the song that ended with "so let us boldly witness...with our bro'erhood so dear... we will have some perils too!"

  that could lyrically tie-in to the KM .

  bethel entrants' school lecture 2-d. .

  the watchtower organization requires that all new full-time workers at its world headquarters or other facilities attend an entrant school.

  attendees are provided worksheets that are outlines for lectures at these events.

  Yes, I was at Patterson doing construction work- 92-95. I remember the syllabus had us reading all of the GB life stories, doing demonstrations and talks on "deeper" questions in the format of the theocratic school but in front of only 20 people or so. I still have the paperwork somewhere.

  You ever go through extended moments where nothing satisfies you, to the point you wouldn't mind dying?

  don't get me wrong, this isn't a call for help or anything like that.

  i'm not about to do anything stupid, just feeling a little down and exhausted tonight.

  i feel defeated, even though i don't feel as if i'm battling anything.

  Dear Misery-

  We could definitely talk. The way you described the day you had was funny. I think that the beauty of life is really in the little things. A conversation with a stranger, an odd thing that happens, etc. I don't know how long you have been "in" but the WT doctrine has you always waiting for the "BIG" event(s), like the start of the Great Tribulation or the moment when UN soldiers will capture you and make you renounce Jehovah.

  I have those moments when I wonder if anything will satisfy alot in a typical month. Quite often, it takes me a while to figure out what is really bothering me. My short list of typical causes are need for a good night's sleep, (works wonders often), a good balanced meal, or some time spent talking with someone I trust, or writing in a journal, or this format (what a godsend!) to feel connected to humanity. Lately since I don't go to meetings anymore, I've joined a street hockey league- and the soreness I feel afterwards lasts me until Wednesday, so that's a different feeling- but it's good! (In my late thirties)

  When you can recognize when you're in that "spot" when nothing is pleasing, then you can see about some sort of solution...whatever it may be, sometimes doing nothing at all is all you can do!

  Wish you the best.

  A few questions for lurking active elders, former elders & MS

  by onemore in

  here they go.... 1) let say that you were a sincere believer of the watchtower, and fallowed the gbs direction because you truly believed that they were guided by the holy spirit.

  what information or action would have made you doubt the validity & authority of the governing body?

  2) what type of information would have made you reconsider your position as an executioner of the gb rules & regulations?

  Hi there- good questions;

  As a former MS- (eleven years ago) I know that up until Dec. 2009, if the GB had printed anything, I would believe it to be infallible. I was that indoctrinated. I "lived the truth".

  I never allowed myself to think at all that what I was being taught wasn't anything but true of the highest sort. I remember having to frequently apply the mental brakes on many things throughout the day or week of my life: ie. thought-provoking movies, music lyrics, book titles, conversations with people. you name it. I attributed everything to "Satan".

  Love Doctor- I hear you man- I am inactive for the first time in my life- it took about a year from getting the news from my brother over a pint that it really wasn't the truth and how C.T Russell was a Mason, etc. I think I even knew about the pyramid on his grave but for some reason never thought twice about it. I remember wondering at times if THE true religion in our time would come from the industrial town of Pittsburgh, PA in the late 1800's. Now, just saying it that way makes me shake my head that I really believed it for so long and no wonder people gave me those kinds of responses they did at the doors for all those years. (7-37 years old of knocking on doors in icy wind, rain, snow, hot sun, you name it, rural, inner city)

  Over the years, besides I'm not interested and I'm busy- there were three general responses in my memory...

  1. You have your own bible

  2. You don't believe Jesus is God

  3. You should research your own history
