  The air in that Ark must have been unbreathable. There was no air circulation, hardly any ventilation at all. All the poop (not to mention the urine), no water to bathe the stinky animals, females in heat, and body odor. How did Noah and his family take baths. They must have smelled rotten also.

  Love the comments at the bottom. Sounds like a thread on JWN. I would love to share the link to this article on my Facebook Page but I am afraid my daughter will see it an cut me off. I am not allowed to excersize my right to freedom of speech around her. If I say anything bad about JW's she will cut me off she said. I would love for her to see the comments. It will make the dubs think and hopefully it will ring bells that cannot be unrung.

  Thanks for sharing this gem with us.

  Watchtower CEOs "Take The Money And Run" Big Kingdom Hall Blowout Sale

  by frankiespeakin in

  as the date setting business for armageddon gulibles has a limited financial future due to expectation postponed syndrone, what could be a possible scenerio as membership stagnates and then nose dives?

  what happens when they're left with this inevitable forecasting dilema?

  will the governing body commission huge blowout sales of kingdom halls telling the r&f that armageddon is so close that they can all meet in their homes and sell their khs sending the money to the corporation to use as they see fit?.

  I don't see a way out for them at this point. How much longer can this cult continue to draw in new members? The Rank & File must be getting so sick of door to door, door to door, with little to nothing to show for it.

  Nervous / shy following judicial committee

  by ekruks in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i wondered if anyone else has been rather shy since a judicial committee?.

  i have been before more than one on false charges, and since have really struggled not to get incredibly nervous if i have any similar meeting with people, such as a review at work, a job interview, even a visit to the doctors.

  i get so uncomfortable, i forget what i planned to say, want to leave, often vomit before such a meeting, forget how to speak up clearly, can't remember my phone number, etc.

  I would never give the elders the dignity of appearing befor one of their sham judicial committes. They are a bunch of loser mid level cult members, that is all they are.

  so this is a follow up to the thread started regarding the contact that some jw family members made through my aunt.

  they wanted funds to put my grandmother (phylis) into an all inclusive old age home.

  they wanted contributions from my aunt and mother.

  Loubelle, I am relieved to hear this was resolved so quickly. You were very upset about this and it turned out just fine.

  Moving out, away and starting a new post JW life

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  recently at my last meeting, an older brother "in good standing" got disfellowshipped.. sitting only two seats away from him, i saw as he burst into tears as lifelong friends and family began their shunning and immediate gossip in the form of whispers came up from above the brothers and sisters in the kingdom hall.

  i felt like giving him a hug and telling him that it was going to be okay and that whatever the reason for his disfellowshipment was, it didnt matter and that god still loved him but before i could muscle up enough courage to do so, he stood up in tears and left.. i shed a few silent tears for him.

  i didn't see anyone else do the same.. it was at that moment that i realized without a doubt that living this way is just not worth it at all.. so i've thought about it long and hard and now i just want to move far away and just start new again.

  One day, my heart goes out to you. I agree you should leave the organisation immediately for your own sanity. I can't give you much advice, but don't rush into anything you may regret later, like moving too far away from your family and friends. Can you stay within a couple hrs drive? This way you can still see them on occasion but it will be hard for them to keep tabs on you.

  Best of luck to you and we are here to listen and support you.

  Have You Given Up on JW Friends or Family Ever Seeing The Light And Getting Out?

  I am never giving up on my daughter. She was raised in and her husband basically was also. They are both college educated though and they have been educated about ttatt. I am confident that with much more bs from the society or just one other close friend or family member leaving and she will have to face the facts. I have seen that they are in for social reasons and fear. Sooner or later, that is going to get old.

  My sister and I left and we were in our late fifties after having been raised in...Shocked everyone. There is hope for your loved ones.

  Welcome and what a rollicking start to your post! Hope you find your way. (I am a 59 year old woman from the midwest who was raised in and has left the so called "truth" 2 1/2 years ago. I must say, I am happy to find out everything I have learned here. Hope you do also.)

  Interesting Conversation that we ARE NOT Bible Students

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  no need for all the details, but we were with a few from the kh after the meeting for some food and the topic of how smart we are compared to other religions in the world when it comes to knowing the bible.. my radar immediately went off as that is one of my pet peeves.

  (most laughed since i doubt any do the family study night, but that's beside the point).

  i asked one of the brothers to multiply that by 50 weeks (answer is 225 hours).

  See, Jehovah's Witnesses can't have an honest discussion about their religion. It's not allowed.
