  You are between a rock and a hard place. Unfortunately, people you love are going to be hurt. Just keep telling them you love them and hopefully you can get them out of the cult in time also.

  transhuman mentioned that someone on the board suffers from thread envy.. are you jealous of other posters who just seem to be able to generate responses to their threads?.

  Some threads get hijacked and end up talking about a completely different subject from what the original poster was talking about. It can be frustrating when you want to see responses to the original post, but then the thread ose off in a different direction.

  Farewell from Confused and Alone

  i use to hate when people who made goodbye posts on message boards.

  why would they think that just because you no longer post on a chevy truck forum or a los angeles lakers forum the world would crumble around those still left there.

  this place is definitely different.

  I was there. Every decision we made in the late 60's and 70's was based on the certainty that Armageddon was coming in 1975. There was even a prediction from a scientist in the old blue book "The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life" that said that animal life would be dead by the year 1975 due to polution, man's ruining the earth. The song "Chrytal Blue Persuasion" was written about the "Truth Book." That is what we called it. Anyone who was a JW in the late 60's & 70's knows what they were teaching. It was in all assembly parts and taught from the platform. If you didn't believe, you were considered spiritually weak or apostate. Later, the society denied they ever taught it. Many, many people left as a result.

  this morning after coffee, in reading over my da letter from jehovah's witnesses which i posted publicly on the net, (june 2nd, 2005 exactly nine [9] years this day), i noticed something interesting, something that i said about the "wine of her fornication" [rev.

  14:8; 17:2; 18:3] that could be given even greater attention to today, more so than when i wrote about it back then.

  i wrote in my da letter:.

  We had a lot of collections taken for people in need. They would make an announcement that someone was in need and to see Brother So and So and he would collect the funds. The congregation funds were never used.
