i can remember about 2 years before i exited the org i had a terrible dilema which didn't really have anything to do with my doubts in relation to doctrine.. the problem was hearing over and over and over about the fact that being in the org was 'the best place to be'.
that the brothers were 'true friends'.
didn't they have a video out called 'ypa - how can i make real friends?'.
Wow....what do they call it when people say one thing but do something else....
Yes I'm more comfortable around nonjudgemental, nonselfrightious people, who don't like to gossip to make themselfs look better in their judgmental God's eyes.
i guess this as good a place as any to find the love of my life.i been off the board for a couple of years.i'm on match.com as "new libra" i live in portland oregon.
looking for that crazy x-jw or worldly girl.
I thought I get this one out of the bone yard....Two and 1/2 years later.....still looking.
War and piece!

I just talked to a guy who was at bethel in the early 80's. He was DFed because his wife turned him in for being on a 1-900 phone line. He was listening to some women talking about sex....and why was he doing that?
He got DFed for hearing some woman TALK about sex.....because his wife won't talk about sex or have sex with him...
But the good news is she is a pioneer....so she can help others come into the "Truth."
Can't you feel the love?....I guess that is the problem...some of the married ones CAN'T feel the love...or talk about it..

Wait a minute......"This speech is SHOCKING.....who can hear it?"....as I put my hand over my ears..
Thank God I can still read.
Now remember friends these are God's hand picked appointed brothers.....They actually pray back in Bethel to see if these men should lead the poor flock.....
This elders have no pride....no favoritism, and most of all speak for god. Plus they come from all walks of life.....With the best Qualifacations.....many are truck drivers.....janitors.....construction workers.
How could they screw up?
I'll never forget my ex-father inlaw, Elder Ben Reagan, Janitor from Newport R.I. This guy looked and acted like Gomer Plye.... He was the dumbest person I ever meet!
He is on the phone with this poor black sister, that just got the shit beat out of her by her 300 lb. husband....and I swear to God this is what he said to her "You must have done something really wrong for him to have hit you....just have another beer and forget the whole thing!"....his answer for everything.
Of course the JWs say....imperfect persons who make mistakes.....
But remember there are NO mistakes in the organization...the "Light only gets brighter"
