  i have been gone for about 5 years now.

  and am making good progress towards building a network of friends, and outside activities.

  it takes time though, and it has been harder than i expected.

  If THAT is Paradise, count me bored....

  i happened to attend a session of the summer convention on sunday morning.

  one thing that that struck me was how their view of paradise was that we would all be the same.

  they kept talking about how nice it would be if we all spoke the same language.

  what happens if someone returns to the congregation but stays inactive?

  what happens if someone returns to the congregation and does not meet with the elders to "confess" their sins while away?.

  i did survive.

  it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great.

  their idea of paradise is that everyone is the same.

  Need a Game Plan

  i'm not sure what is going on at the convention, but i just got a desperate call from a friend wanting me to attend sunday's morning session.

  last weekend, my mom invited me too.instead of saying something like, "i'm sorry, but i have no intention of going back," and having them completely freak out - i agreed to go to the sunday morning session.

  any recommendations?

  No One Knows The Day or The Hour....

  2. bible

  so why is the wt obsessed with it?

  i would much rather read articles on actually applying bible princples and have a real christ-like personality.

  why don't they realize that how they fixate on "the end" is in direct conflict with that scripture?.

  Is it just me? AAWA.co

  2. beliefs

  i'm curious, anyone else find the aawa.co website negative?

  heavy handed on the emotional trauma posts, and light on the informational posts?

  maybe it is just me but on top of the fact that there isn't much posting going on there, the topics were downers.

  What Would JWs Do if all the GB died at once?

  by bafh in

  in another thread on the board, someone talked about their friend being a sniper in the marines and being very angry at the gb with thoughts of revenge.

  it made me wonder - what would happen to the jws if in some strange turn of events, all the gb died at the same time?

  how would they carry on if their leadership was snuffed out?
