Thank you for all this hard work.

Nice to see all the deficits.

If the facts about this religion cannot stop it maybe the finances will.

i was born january 15, 1947in mt.

carmel hospital, detroit, michigan.. within six months of my birth, my mother would bundle her baby boy into a blanket and board an american airlines propeller-driven plane--in effect, leaving my father behind--to return to her hometown, ft. worth, texas.. my dad had an excellent job working for cadillac as an inspector.

it was a union job.

Wonderful capsule of your life through words Terry.

I love that you capture the overview but have kept the sensitivity a good writer has to have.

Happy Birthday to you - and may you have many more.

Jesus fulfilling old testament prophecies like his legs not being broken

by Isambard Crater in

what are everyone's thoughts on this, how his legs weren't broken, he was pierced with a spear and he wore a thorny crown?.

i'm pimo and very much not wanting to believe, but like the daniel statue prophecies, these ones about jesus stick in my mind and give me "hmmm, maybe" moments..

Hanged Man
It's the story of the suns journey round the zodiac.....The sign of the zodiac that ends the suns "career" just before the winter solstice is Sagittarius.....the centaur/centurion who pierces the sun with his spear and brings sunny boy's journey to an end......The old "Lion King" dies and the new son/sun starts his trip around the circuit with the "twelve" signs of the zodiac.

Interesting. I have never heard this before.

i’ve been here for many years.

the tone seems to be different in this place.

not so many pissed off exjws .

Too busy enjoying life outside the organization to be mad. I am SO relieved to have no more meetings, be making real friends and to know the truth about the "truth".

Would You Go To A Memorial Service For A JW )if you were no longer attending the KH)?

by minimus in

jw
friends

some of my old jw friends are sickly and getting on in age.

so far, i’ve only gone to my mother’s memorial and have avoided the kingdom hall altogether.... your thoughts please?.

millie210

I would go.

It is not about me. It is about the person the service is for. I have honed the art of tuning out what is said from the platform and view Jws as just another religion among many.

I go when Catholic friends die too for the same reason.

Its true, I have personal history with JWs and the people there and the religion was personally not helpful and even hurtful in some ways to me but as I said, someones funeral/memorial isnt about me and I dont make it about me. I do it for them.

Obviously they are worried about their timeline. Got to show the folks how happy these 2 old women are that they stayed the course.

What Is The Major Reason Jehovah’s Witnesses Exist?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i understand that cults and religious groups will always exist.

but why do jehovah’s witnesses continue as a religion that people will join?.

millie210

For me, I left because when I became aware of inept and corrupt elders and the leadership in New York failed to effectively address the matter. They wouldnt address it at all in fact.

I would probably not have left over the elders actions alone, it was seeing that no one is really concerned about what goes on, so much as they are just concerned with keeping the machine running.

That started me looking at the "machine" itself and well..........

I can only compare it to the wizard of Oz. In order to keep publishers in place, they must keep them from peeking behind the curtain like I did.

As for why they exist, people would love it if they could just hand over the big questions of life. Go to a few meetings a week, put some money in a box and bam! You are guaranteed God likes you AND all that goes with that...not the least of which is living forever someday in a better world.

On the surface, that seems a fair exchange and easier than picking your own path through life with no guaranteed outcomes.

As long as you dont scratch the veneer and see below the surface, it can still work for some.

An Active JW Sister Modelling For Me

by pale.emperor in

since leaving the borg i jumped both feet first into classes i've always wanted to do but was never "allowed" to.

two of which are life drawing and photography.

i've been studying for almost two years now and have seen more nude men and women in our classes than i care to remember.. today in the photography studio i was working in with three others (two women, one man) we were told we had a new person modelling for us.

millie210

You are probably looking at a young woman who can think for herself - even if just a little. Lets hope that grows and grows until it leads her to a bigger and better life away from the Org.

Awesome that you are perusing your talents Pale!
