Ah crap! I would have never guessed mom would think that :)
Oh yeh all witnesses beleive that!
Read "Love Wins" by Rob Bell it may not be right but it will open your mind to other possibilities.

I decided not to go back to the KH
by Bucholz inwell, as i mentioned before in one of my few other posts, i've been lurking here for some time now and finally decided it was time to face the facts and take action.. i was raised a jw (4th generation) and my parents were quite zealous when they got married.
mom was a regular pioneer and dad was a ms. i was the little jw 'rockstar' in my congregation, got baptized at 10, was giving talks and serving as an attendant at the hall and at conventions at such an early age.
auxiliary pioneered whenever i could.

Amen, me too! After reexplaining to the brothers again and again the last days and generation - smeneration I said this is it .........and now we are enjoying all the same things you are. I would rather enjoy one year of existance without all that, than be rolled up into that mess again.

Selling literature on ebay? Good, bad or ugly?
by itsibitsybrainbutbigenoughtosmellarat inmany of you are collectors of the older literature especially.
i have been involved for 50 years with wtb&ts and have 4 generations prior to me involved.
i started collecting the literature and releases log ago and always viewed it as a hobby.

Many of you are collectors of the older literature especially. I have been involved for 50 years with WTB&TS and have 4 generations prior to me involved. I started collecting the literature and releases log ago and always viewed it as a hobby. In looking for certain items I found other collectors and sellers on ebay and purchased some hard to find items through the years there. I also in the last few years have been selling items occasionally that were duplicates, etc... as a means to offset costs procuring "the keepers" as I call them. Here is the question then, how do witnesses view this action? I know how I view it and that is not going to change but how about you? Taking all things into account, how can this be viewed as anything but someones personal business, especially when most JWs throw out bookshelf clutter when viewed as "out of date and even dangerous older thought material" haahehehah..just saying...

"Have you tried shorten in g your 'name'? That's a doozy! LOL"
Hahehehah...You can call me "itsi" for short, hahah
Thank you all for your encouraging comments. It is a funny thing how posting your thoughts seems to bring comfort when in reality it is obviously the actions you take yourself that will change the situation. I once posted an obscure bible question which I was just sure I had the answer to and was "handed my _ss" by Leolaia a poster on this site. Some of his or her thoughts may have been verifiable and a few not but I derived enough doubt about the subject that it was a revelation. ( I think the poster was right on so many levels that it didn't even matter anymore) But the real lesson it taught me was that the truth about many of the spiritual things we've been focused on most of our lives are still a matter of interpretation and best guesses in many cases. I so appreciated learning that lesson. I know this is off post in subject, but how can we just go our merry way and not seek a relationship with some higher power? How can we just stop being students? In the book, 30 years a WT slave the writer commented on the scripture Romans 8:20,21 "glorious freedom of the sons of god". I had thought about that scripture over and over again after leaving the WT prior to reading his comments and then to see it again was an real affirmation that we are all realizing a dream, the actual dream of Romans 8:20,21 we are truly free.... thanks so much for taking the time to answer or comment everyone, this has just been a really difficult time in my life these last 6 months. And lastly anyone who actually typed my name out without copying and pasting it, you have a special tenacity which will take you far in this life. hahah
Love and peace to all of you.

Time lost is time lost but isn't it a blessing to know what is truth and what isn't? Free , Free at last........ you been a slave so long it takes time to acclimate. Read, read read .... if you think it will help you here about others escape. If not then go to school or just look at all the avenues open now for improving yourself. Some books are, 30 years a slave of the WT, Crisis of Conscience by Franz and even the new book by Rob Bell "Love Wins"
it shows that that all is not lost for you or me. No way is it lost, no way .....be of good cheer and work your way free.

Boy this strikes a cord with me as well. All I can say is don't waste a minute more, you've lost a lot of time, as did I. I hope you come to terms with it and keep seeking knowledge of everything. But, remember that "knowledge 'can' puff up but love builds up." The study of real history and spirituality is worth it.
