  "So I broke the kid's arm, it was his fault really"

  every now and then growing up a woman with the first name of guadalupe would come into my life.

  this is a story of one of those times.. she was always refered to as a "friend of grandma's.

  " that was why we were supposed to overlook the crazy things she did or at least i guessed that was the way it worked.

  crisis of conscience

  by inbetween in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  when i was fully in, i never even heard of ray franz or his books.. after learning the truth about the truth, what woke me up, was in the first place the inconsistency of doctrine, the missing logic and the bending of the scripture to fit their theology.. personal experiences i took with a grain of salt.

  therefore, even though i learned about "crisis of conscience" i did not bother reading it.

  personally i did not doubt, that what he wrote would be true, but i thought, it would not help somebody to get out, because, its his personal experience, which proves nothing in the end.

  I'm reading it now. So far so good.

  As side note: I keep thinking I remember being at a book study the last time we did the revelation book. We were studying wbts time lines i remember thinking at that time.What if they're wrong and they talked crap about the jews alot and thought thats not what the bible says. But it was just fleeting thought I didn't dwell on them, and I didn't think I was apposing them then either. Thinking back I can remember many times thinking what i was being told didn't jive. I actually thought christendom makes more sence biblically (btw christendom isn't the bad word jws make it)no argument intended because i still believe in christianity.I don't subscribe to any organization few of us can anymore' my opinion only i could be wrong.peace out luke

  Hi one thing I think of or walk away with from that (btw i liked it) Is some witnesses treat the name jehovah as an incantation and if i prayed to my god to protect me why would i a puny human have to remind him when scared. I got distracted a little with my son while listening so i hope Im not to far off topic.

  when reading all of the variety of toppics on this site it appears by the lack of responses that some dont really care about your subject?

  or they just cant find the word to say, or they mosly like reading but not commenting.

  and some subjects ive read that have had many comments compared to others are just plane stupid as hell.

  Slandered At the Circuit Assembly & My Letter To My Mother

  by headisspinning in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on saturday, my ex husband went on the platform at the one day circuit assembly and slandered me in front of 800+ people.. my jw family is even up in arms because he basically lied and ruined any last bits of my reputation that i had left, the worst part is this was elder sanctioned.. i am really exhausted from all the upheaval so i will get right to the point.

  the following is what i sent to my mother:.

  hi mom.

  I'm so sorry to you and hubby(steve right). That's should be proof enough that there is no holy spirit backing that org.. You have been thru a lot. I thought vengence belonged to god. The witnesses forget that at convenient times. I thought i was gossiped about but they did you dirty from the platform. please take care and hopefully you live in a big enough area you can not have to see any dubs for a while.

  welcome I might add that if you research the wbts thru here or various other resources. not slanted to the watchtower you will see it is not the truththat being said if it aint the truth it's a waste of your time. i know its scary and difficult but one step at a time and our support you'll find your way. and it may also be hard to loose family but as most jw's do to df'd family they may have already left you. I preferr non-denom best you'd be surprised. its really more about the association with me and i am still a christian actually a real one now. hang in there

  i was at home this morning typing up a couple legal documents for some general contractors to sign that were going to be doing some tree removal on my property, when i get a visit from a sister in the hall i used to attend.

  she usually stops by at least once a week.

  i haven't been to meetings for over a year now and didn't attend memorial this year, but she was quick to remind me how i missed out.

  Right as if because you don't believe there most be something wrong with you. Like they're thinking maybe you don't get it I'll explain it slower this time. But really they don't get it. Just think there is 7million of them not all that intense but most thinking they're right and everyone else wrong living a fantasy. Most of us did to some degree. But it is insulting they keep telling you aboot your sty while they're rafter is unmistaking.
