I am sure that would happen if I ever broke my vow never to enter a Kingdom Hall again.
I feel for you.
unfortunatley, i still go to many meetings as i am working on getting my wife to wake up.
for the most part i maintain my composure but there have been two or three times when i actually have gotten so upset and the frustration built so high that i have come very come close to actually slamming something down or pounding the table in the literature room, or shouting out how i felt!
has anyone else felt this way?

since april 1st will be officially 6 months and i will be considered inactive, i thought this would be a good time for me to review my life since leaving....and i guess wtbt$ is right in that my life would return to a debauched state if i left them...so here is my review and i'm being totally serious here.. .
sex: yes i have sex with my husband.....i guess we have returned to the world because we take advantage of our marital dues.. related to sex: no longer just missionary.
drugs: yes i have been taking drugs......my allergies have been so bad the last few days i just couldn't handle it anymore and i gave in to the temptation to take over the counter allergies medicine.. rock and roll: yes......i am no longer listening to the kingdom melodies (i never really did anyways), and have gone to listening to the devils music.
Live life large!
this week's bible reading started me thinking ... luke 1:1-4.
"whereas many have undertaken to compile a statement of the facts that are given full credence among us, just as those who from [the] beginning became eyewitnesses and attendants of the message delivered these to us, i resolved also, because i have traced all things from the start with accuracy, to write them in logical order to you, most excellent theophilus, that you may know fully the certainty of the things that you have been taught orally.".
now, the gospel of luke appears to have been written before acts, sometime between 56-58 ce.. in the above introduction, luke mentions that "many" (not just one or two) "have undertaken to compile a statement" ( "to compile a narrative" - english standard version; therefore, more than just the description of isolated events or isolated "wisdom sayings".
This is why so many no longer regard the Bible as anything that should be taken seriously. The Catholic Church is the entity that decided which books went into the Bible cannon. That fact does not make me feel confident about the content of our Bible.
serve god without regrets?.
who said: i do repent [feel regret,.
(b) in what sense has jehovah felt regret,.
Thanks, Blondie.
it has been a year now since the big breakdown in which i lost my belief system and almost lost my marriage too.
i now look back and realize how close i came to completely losing my mind.
all the evidence proves to me beyond a shadow of any possible doubt that i have been raised in a cult and that every single decision or indecision has been directly influenced from this fanatical belief system.
I can relate to this. If I had only known, I would have left decades ago.

Yes, this is not an opportunity to ruin both of your lives.
in a talk i heard recently, the brother was talking about how jws had certain expectations about the end, acknowledging 1914, 1925, surely before 1935 and 1975, then we learned that it's not in our jurisdiction to know jehovah's timetable.
then he said, some say that because we made those mistakes, some say jws are false prophets.
he said that was "simplistic thinking".
I was around for the 1975 fiasco. They are false prophets.
the new wt 2013 june tells kids that they might get to study with a pirate someday!
perhaps johnny depp will be resurrected for just that purpose?.
.
I guess timing is everything. Pirates who are alive today and will very shortly be distroyed at Armageddon don't get a resurrection. Pirates who already lived and died will get one. Poor chums.
and to think i was told that armageddon would be here before i was 13!.
happy birthday heather .
Wish her a happy birthday from all of us evil apostates who want her to have a happy fullfilling life outside the organisation.
apparently "prejudice" applies only to racial equality and has nothing to do with diverse sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
it's news to me, but that's the only way i can explain this latest cover from the society.. http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/86/wp_e_20130601.pdf.
cedars.
Simply put...they are really scrapping the bottom of the barrell if this is the best cover story they can come up with. Tired...tired...tired.
