Your question is very interesting. I have always wondered about this other inconsistency: If one JW passenger is flying on a jet plane with 350 other worldly passengers over the Atlantic Ocean and Armagedeon begins and the pilot and other passengers are cut into death.... what happens to the single JW passenger as the jet plummets towards the ocean? Will an angel give him a parachute? Will there be a life raft waiting for him on the ocean? Will Armagedeon only happen when there are no Jets flying? And don't get me started on what happens to a JW undergoing open heart surgery and the crap hits the fan. I have to remember this the next time they come knocking on my door.

Feeling a little weird today
by Bucholz inhello everybody, so i've been out of the wt for almost a year now.
i did go to the memorial last year, but that was pretty much the last meeting i attended.
thing is, as a born-in, i have never missed one, this will be the first.. don't get me wrong, i have absolutely no desire to go back, but after all these years there's a weird feeling about it.

The feeling will go away with time. It's just like a divorce. At the beginning you miss your spouse and your marriage. Then the memories just start to fade and you go on with your life in another direction. I wonder if your Grandfather who never calls you was counting his time so he can report it at the end of the month. Live long and enjoy each moment!

What should I do?
by Kool Jo init was announced a few days ago that a good friend of mine from another congregation was disfellowshiped...we knew each other for a few years, really appreciated her company, had a great sense of humor...someone you could talk to and confide in.. i'm still shocked to hear that she was df, she was a pioneer up to january...i'm very familiar with her congregation as i've visited there...we often text and exchange emails quite often.. .
she's not aware that i know of her being d/f...i don't know if she still goes to her to khall and feel really bad for her because after reading some of the stories online of what being d/f can do, i wouldn't want her to go thru that?.
i'd love to contact her and tell her not to worry and perhaps relate some of the experiences from this site along with some of the info i'm finding out...but i don't know if she's going to give in to the fear of being shunned and then tell the elders that i'm an apostate?.

Good advice Razziel. to Kool Jo: Just keep going on like you don't know a thing. Keep your friendship going and let her decide on her future. A true friend is at your side at all times.

Sorry for Rory Sullivan but it won't make a difference to these freaks who believe that this action will make them holier and closer to God. Now he can interact with real people instead of robots. God Bless!

So what do your Jehovah's Witness friends and loved ones think of the generation teaching?
by garyneal inafter the little skit at the last assembly where one brother was asking another for understanding about the generation teaching i thought, "wow, these people will believe anything the watchtower tells them.
" the 'more mature brother' practically said verbatim everything the watchtower said as his explanation.
evidently, this is one of the sources of the increased 'murmuring' that the talked warned against.. so, has anyone brought this up to their witness friends and/or family?

Yeah, I get responses similar to that too. Something like, "You're the only one making a big deal out of it."
I would certainly say it's a big deal. It's a big difference from going to sell books on Saturday's or going to the beach, hiking or enjoying life instead of dedicating a life to a religion that's a big FRAUD!

Matrix moment - what was it and when did you share it?
by MMXIV infor those of you who had a moment like that from the matrix when you realised what you'd believed was fundamentally flawed or a lie - what caused that defining moment and how long was it before you could share your thoughts?.

My matrix awakening was while at a meeting just after the devastating Haiti earthquake. Many of the brothers were inquiring about a special collection for the victims and an announcement was made that "there will be no special collection for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Anyone who wants to make a donation for this cause, please make a deposit in the World Fund box and the Society will put the money were the need is greater". I was shocked in disbelief. The coldness and uncaring way this was presented placed me wide awake. The same Holy Spirit who has not been able to give this Org a correct date for Armagedon is correctly going to separate money donated for Haitian victims and direct the monies to that cause. I was disconnected immediately and forever.
