  by Este in

  2. bible

  daniel 2:44.

  44 in the time of those kings, the god of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people.

  it will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.

  I used to do Acid and a lot weed, in the 70s, when I read you post I thought I was having a flashback, I really hope your having a laugh, whether or not people would share your humour is another point, If your laughing your ass off, great, If not, seeking medical help for psychosis may be urgent for you. And for the poster who suggested, Sciptures are irrellevent, here, I beg to differ, Ive learned more here in 3 weeks, than as a JW in 13 years.

  Hello Everyone! Heres my story!

  i'm new here, and although i have been a lurker for several months now, its nice to finally dive in and join you all.

  i hope that i find some friends as thats what i'm really looking for, i've seen enough proof that theres real love outside of this religious prison that i've biult for myself over the years, but i would like to feel it firsthand.

  it's been a little hard to post anything since it's not easy being around in websites like these when you're still in and theres other jw's around sticking their noses everywhere, but now that i've found the time, i would like to share a bit about my story.... this is an email i sent paul grundy, (creator of jwfacts.com) and it basically sums up the story of my life... so i thought it would be good if you all had a read as well.

  Hi and welcome, and I mean WELCOME, your story just made me so sad, you are in a tight spot, but one that with a bit of thought and planning you can succsesfully emerge from,Im sure you will find people here who will provide a (home from home for you) people who can offer practical advice to you,I dont have enough insight or enough experiece to be able to help you, though there are others here who can and will, and like a fellow poster stated you are in the majority numerically, in desiring to leave.Nearly all of my generation(hate using that word,it,s soooo redundant ) left, at the time we all smiled, went out on the Min,attended meetings ect, but within 10 years,we were gone, so we all harboured, doubts and anxietys, but didnt have oppertunitys that a forum like this can provide, infact at some time in the near future, I would hope to see you helping others, as you have many valuable insights to share especially with the younger crowd, all the best !

  The SEX PISTOLS and JW,s

  i have just come to realise that one of my biggest charecter flaws, is also one of my best, i am rebellious, impulsive, and self reliant.

  i could give up my political beleifs, my love of punk rock and heavy metal, leave my hedonistic lifestyle behind, loose my friends and family, become voluntarily indoctronated and enslaved.

  yet those same bad qualitys, would save me, and be the making of me, because as readilly as i joined jw,s i could also leave because as i mentioned before, i am rebellious, impulsive, and self reliant.

Unfortunately Im also prone to be an asshole and alienate people( a fact that my closest friends delight in pointing out) Still I apologise learn and move on. So, I would be intrested to find out if other peoples character flaws had an unexpected upside ?

  once upon a time, an elder approached brother discouraged in the back of the kingdom hall.

  he said, "we've missed you at the meetings.

  is there some problem?".

  If i can add my tuppence worth, I think your analysis is spot on,ultimately we have to have faith that god exists, ok, you could argue we have an abundance of circumstantial evedence, but you still need faith. There is no doubt that the GB exists,we have there names, ages blah blah. So to have doubts about an entity we cant see or prove,is understandable,easpecially as there is an overwhelming belief in evolution, taught and promoted everywhere. It,s perhaps understandable that some may doubt, even temporarily,as your example implies.However to doubt the voracity of the the Old Age Pensioners, in Brooklyn smelling of stale piss, with prostate problems. Is however a judicial matter, PLEASE how can anyone beleive this crap let alone condone it, I inadvertantly ventured into the Scottish Convention in Perth Scotland , I ventured into a world unseen,We the little people, nerver see, These C--ts living a life off Rutherford , I thought I was in a different world, Not for me me, never again, I will never pay for these parasites, to villify me, and live in luxury. and I pay them to come here, and chastise me, Fuck off !!!

  that (the lack of love) was the clincher for me, as my best friend, a MS, at the time told me, he had never met a group of people who were nastier to each other than JW,s. Lovebombed to death until baptised, then cast aside like shit, when they could no longer count their time, and I am just as giulty, looking down on others(non jw,s) as poor unfortunates, describing everyone else as walking corpses, boy was i an asshole, and still see that arrogance in most of them today, love is an alien concept to them,Power, status,jelousy,backstabbing, for me are the true characteristics of a witness.On a lighter note its a beautiful day here in Ediburgh,My wifes birthday, hope your family are well.

  Apple employees from the LGBT community have posted a video for the It Gets Better project.

  i think this was an uplifting and courageous video made by apple employees.

  big thumbs up to apple for their courage in embracing their lgbt employees in this way.

  as part of the it gets better campaign to end suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered youth, employees at apple have created a video with their stories about coming out and overcoming adversity, offering a rare glimpse into the personal lives of employees of the notoriously secretive company.. .

  the german film starring bruno ganz as hitler, charts hitlers descent into madness and paranoia, as he looses touch with reallity at the end of ww2,surrounded in the furher bunker in berlin, (bethel) a maniac loosing touch with reallity, gives orders and edicts, that evreyone ignores,(they all recognise he has , gone mad, yet no one dare aknowledge it through fear) the only way to find out the truth about what is really happening in germany, is to listen to the allied radio broadcasts(in our day the intrernet) hitler and nazis warned that anyone caught listening to these radio stations should be executed immeadiatley, gb are nazis, and at one time i would have defended them to the point of death, why are they scared of scrutiny ?

  the internet ?
