and i feel sad.
everything happened so fast, 1999 back from patterson, 2000 inactive and no longer an elder, 2001 smoking everything that planet earth offers, and now in love with a girl for a couple of months.
i feel sad but liberated.

well, i finaly saw the movie stigmata, and it was about the catholic church, i don't want to demean any catholics here but made an observation on how similiar the catholic church and the watchtower is,.
vatican-----governing body.
excommunicate-----disfellowship.
Pope - Russell, Rutherford, Knorr, Jaracz/Governing BodyBranch Overseers - Cardinals
District/Circuit Overseers - Bishops
Elders - Priests
Ministerial Servants - Deacons
Rank & File - Laity
Penton made this observation and also observed that organizations often BECOME just like other organizations they started out hating.
Thus has been the case with the Watchtower Printing and Hierarchical Organization.
Farkel
Missionaries - Jesuits
just wanted to say...i am thrilled about this site!!
just found it, and i cant get enough...its good to see that you are not alone having these feelings.
my mother is a jws and so is my younger sister.
Yes me too.
Not allowed to go on school-trips
No birthday, no jeans, short haircut during the hippy-period, had to offer magazines in neighbourhood...grrrrrr
Welcome,
Do you know that dutch missionary in Iceland?
hey everyone,.
i've never posted on any of these site before but i thought this might be worthwhile.
i was at brooklyn bethel from 1998-2001. i worked in the laundry.
You have to know me James....that Dutch missionary from the DR, that would organize latin dance parties!!!! WHO ARE YOU???
pushed this idea on his whole circuit.
2-4 brothers in the parking lot to welcome everyone in.
a good idea if it had stayed simple, but he insisted on a drivers ed.
Never heared of this before....funnnn
my daughter just ogt a tourist brochure from a jw-owned agency in illinois touting pilgrimages to the gb's $50-million retirement valhalla.
it's laughable that they're able to sell this fiasco to the friends as an ``educational center.''.
what sort of graduates is this specious ``education center'' turning out?
fULANO,The GB DOESN'T LIVE THERE? OH THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD
Owww, sorry you took that wrong, it is just a fact you know..

Good points Room 215.I visited Patterson around '95 or '96. It was very saddening for me. Sorta made me feel like like the GB and company feel like they are so great and deserve only the best of everything. But, I put it all on "the shelf".
It was especially disheartening in light of the fact that many JW's from West Virginia were unable to come to the DC's that were held in Columbus OH (where I live) because they couldn't afford the trip. And here's the NY crime bosses living like kings.

Schiermonnikoog...Only Vivamus will capture that!!
when a witness talks about a person not being "in the truth", does that get to you?
or if they self-righteously proclaim that "at least, they're in the truth and not worldly", does that push any buttons?
Nowadays I ask them: What s the truth according to your opinion?
