  it was actually april 25, but that day will forever be etched in my head.

  it was when the 119th class of gilead started.

  it was my last real shot that i gave the borg.

  Who's Really To Blame?

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i hope all reading this will consider the following a commentary.

  i have no one in mind, but a few posts have got me thinking about my own jw experience.

  also, reading of the bad experiences and pain of others here gives me much room to pause.. clearly, most of us, with good reason, hate jehovah's witnesses (the religion, and sometimes, the people).

  AllTimeJeff, Great post. I really appreciate your comments. I think for some here, they have been emotionally upset by their experience with the witnesses. For others here, I think they may not be totally convinced that the watchtower is wrong. It comes out as being in "attack" mode.

  trapdgett,

  I would not discourage you from studying with the witnesses. If you want to find out more about the religion, well, seems logical to go to the source for information. At the same time, I feel it is equally important to get a perspective from message boards like this one. The people here represent a huge slice of Watchtower life, past and present. There are some posters here that have intense feelings about the Witnesses as you already have figured out by now I am sure. I think the biggest thing to take with you is that you are young and this is a huge fork in the road for you. It is very important to take plenty of time in making decisions. Do not let anyone else sway you. The decision is yours. Trust the brain that God gave you. If you want to have kids some day, that can be very difficult on a marriage if the parents are mixed on religion. The witnesses are very passionate about their belief's. That is why there are strong feelings from posters here. Take it for what it's worth. The book "crisis of conscience" that was suggested here, Is from a former governing body member who saw witness policy making and enforcement and saw the inner workings that most witnesses never get to see. It would benefit you more if you already had a pretty good surface knowledge of the watchtower first. Pray for guidance.

  As a witness I was raised.

  Finding out it was not all truth, I was amazed.

  Standing for truth 100 percent.

  Never expecting not even a cent.

  Always telling the one at the door,

  God's kingdom is at hand, would you like to hear more?

  So here I am with hopes torn from my mind.

  How did I miss it? Why was I so blind?

  For all I can do is face each day

  Just try to be happy, I hope that I may.

  ...Radical New Canadian Sewer System!!...

  by OUTLAW in

  1. social
  2. humour

  i`m looking for a new home in the canadian mountains..so i`m out checking houses..one house in particular caught my attention.............it`s an older home,with a river in the back..about 600 ft down....a frigg`n cliff!!..lol!

  !....it has an interesting sewer system..you flush a toilet and the waste go`s down into a pipe..the pipe run`s along the bottom of the house,to the back of the house..the pipe ends at the back of the house and hangs..open..600ft above the river bank..the "poop" just shoots out the back of the house and falls 600 ft to it`s death!!..lol!

  !................on the way down you can hear the "poop" scream!.........i think the theory is behind this sewer system is:to scare the shit out of the poop,before it hits the rocks 600 ft below....
