yesterday i was at a supermarket and i walked right in the arms of a nice jw couple.. they are so nice, they could be our family friends, if we went to the congregation.. how it went: mr nice walked by and said "hello" and walked straight on, without looking to me.. his very nice wife smiled and looked surprised to see me, a look only a jw can have, looking to a poor fader like me.. she said "hello, how are you?

see you, good bye?

how can these nice people so cold?.

They Need War Now

there have been similar headlines on usa today and the drudgereport.. they need ww3 and they need it now.. the israelis understand what will likely happen if peace with iran breaks out.

there will be a movement towards eliminating all nuclear weapons in the middle east and the intensification of declaring 'apartheid' as regards the palestinians.. in other words, the practical end of israel as a zionist state.. in addition, there are senators who lust for war (lindsay graham, etc) they realize that the fog of war would move the us towards becoming a full police state, eliminating what's left of the bill of rights and distracting the whole nation from its failing economy.. i think it's too late for a phony false flag attack - to blame iran for some made-up terrorist attack.

Is everyone required to be enrolled in the theocratic ministry school?

can a publisher "drop out" and still be in good standing?.

In just a few years I will be celebrating 50 years since I was in the WT Borganism, but as I recall, no one was *required* to join the TMS, but it was considered a sign of "spiritual progress".

Like the Chinese Finger Trap, once in it is difficult to withdraw. The best strategy is to begin missing a bunch of assigned talks, which means that someone else will have to prepare a talk with only minutes notice. After a few of these stunts they will probably be happy to let you go.

As I recall, that was part of how I went from Pioneer/MS to zero in a brief time. I didn't want drama, I just wanted OUT.

i've been out of the organization for quite a number of years, and still feel that uneasy feeling that was washed into every cell of my being by wt indoctrination since birth.

never seems to go away completely, does it?.

i use to feel the need to talk about my experience in the organization to others, to worldlies, and they never quite seem to understand.

Letting go of Highly Qualified Men

by James Jackson in

i have been posting for a few months now and have read the life stories of tech49, confusedandalone, winston smith and other brothers who have held prominent positions in the organization who were dismissed not for any gross sins, but mainly for not keeping their child toeing the line.

they have been "cast aside", nit picked to death, and made to feel unworthy for their years of dedicated service.

even in my case, having my best friends treat me like the plague to jockey for position of recogntion.. is this what the organization is resorting to now?

Brother Jackson, it seems to me that you have yet to experience ILLUMINATION; you seem to still be functioning as though you believe The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society is Pure Worship™.

I have left garlic bread at the altar of The Flying Spaghetti Monster on your behalf. May you soon be embraced by His Noodley Appendages.

Let this strike your consciousness like Lightning from Thor's Hammer: The WTB&TS is a man-made CULT not much different from all the other religions and CULTS that the WTB&TS condemns as "False religion"! ALL religions are FALSE!

Wake Up, man!

LET GO of your faith-based speculations, expectations, hopes and dreams!

"Thus shall ye think of this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; A flash of lightning in a summer cloud; A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream."
