i was bored to death this sunday, and suddenly i remembered that it could be worse if having to attend the public meeting on a sunday, even worse, not being assigned to the sound department, accomodating, being the mic guy, or reading the wt at the platform... then i realized that i hated just "attending" and sitting at meetings, those "privileges" were the only thing i enjoyed and made my last months inside bearable.... did you enjoy these assignments?
Back when I was a "true Believer", I truly believed (see how I did that?) that I was doing Joe Hoover's Will and "serving" His People and putting Kingdom interests first.
My wife even then always complained that I erred in putting our family in SECOND PLACE. (I was just trying to earn us all everlasting life!)
I'm just a "slow learner".
this inquiry is to consider organizations such as jehovah's witnesses, next month.. here is a link to their site.. www.iicsa.org.uk.
they are open to hearing from whistleblowers with geniune information and survivors who may not have previously come forward......
Go get 'em guys!
are you reticent to express your opinion when it comes to religion or politics?.
when we were jws , we had to be so careful that we didn’t stumble anyone.
are you comfortable saying that you don’t agree with someone or something even if it appears you are in the minority?
Yeah. I'm pretty timid about my feelings on things like religion and politics.
what a weekend.
i have my normal medications to take; one white pill, one purple pill, one blue pill, one yellow pill ... you get the idea.. but having to watch the regional assembly on-line had me stressed.
i now realized i accidentally took too many of those big purple pills.
It's taking the RED PILL that "upset the apple cart" in my life.
i have to admit, this president can stir up shit.

other than some people who failed 10th grade or have a confederate flag on the back of their pickup trucks, who actually likes him?.
we read on the news that they had written suicide notes and each was found with 3 shots in the back of their heads. ~ Rub
OH OH! That could mean Hillary is still planning to jump in at the final hour!
dress up for the show.
... and now please be seated.
proudly presenting your 2020 convention program.. ... and, thank god, for the ff button on my player.
instead of a 2:1 ratio on the orange juice to vodka, maybe a 1:1 ratio would make it a more pleasant experience.
Now I'm with ya, Dub!
As a JW I did everything in moderation. Now I'm all about excess!
Since I'm now borderline diabetic, I might have to skip the OJ.
at what time would you say that the watch tower schema lost the spirit?.
like the ancient nation of israel which struggled maintaining divine blessing due to a long series of grave errors that eventually culminated in definitive loss... how and when did watch tower lose the spirit?.
can we pinpoint a time or event?.
I like this kind of approach as well.
This is not a debate as to whether JWs ever had God's Spirit. This is to get a (doubtful) JW to start thinking.
I like to ask if all the "weird" chances might be because and "apostate" has infiltrated the higher echelons of the JW Org. Would Jah allow that? He did in the 1980's, didn't he? Remember Ray Franz? (NOT that Ray was an apostate. Just that that is what WTS claims.)
Lots of JWs are skeptical about all the "New Light". You know what happens once a person begins to question thing...... One domino......two dominoes............BAM

Biden's presidency will most likely be leadership by committee.
Biden's presidency would most likely be leadership by his VP candidate.
the amazing exoneration of info sekta in swiss court has finally reinforced the proper way to exit an abusive cult.. never write a letter of disassociation.
- no need to invoke shepherding or judicial action from elders.
make a written, dated statement of your free-will choice to have abandoned the jw religion - secure this document with a friend -a trusted friend (not the jw kind).
We played the "stumbled" card when we had the opportunity. But I guess they were glad to see us go. A couple of calls from "friends". One visit from "new" elders. No longer do we even get a Memorial invitation.
We're just "waiting on Jehovah" to fix the "problems" we see.

maybe for my wife and I a quart of orange juice mixed with a pint of vodka will be preferable
I like your plan for listening to a JW assembly! (Tho you are mixing it a little "weak". Not sure I can associate with anyone/anything "weak".)
