so... i am coming to the conclusion that pretty much all of the doctrinal stuff that i have believed for 25/30 years is built on a house of cards and it's about to come crashing down.
question is what do i replace it with?.
my intellectual head says that that whole thing is junk and there is almost certainly no god at all.
IF you are in a cage in a Zoo, and you learn how to pick the lock and actually make it out of the cage, DO NOT run and lock yourself into the next cage you see, slowly work your way out of the Zoo and then look back from a distance before deciding what is right in thine own eyes.

Out the cage, slowly walking toward the exit whilst trying not to be noticed by the Zoo attendents.

i'm very happy!
"I'm sorry, did you say the WHOLE CONGREGATION?, at what meeting is the WHOLE CONGREGATION in attendance these days?"

Things overheard while taking these pics.
"Dangit, where's a high lighter when you need one?"
" I wrote that part,. hehe"
" That was not supposed to be in there, it did not pass the 60% percentile vote, Barbara Anderson would never had allowed this to happen!!'
" WE ARE THE Governing Body, why do we need to do this?!!"
" Please take the freaking picture, I can only hold one in for so long!!"

that is what my son said to me this morning during a further discussion on yesterdays wt study, and upon learning that the 1978 light is back.. i can only blame myself.
Maybe you could reply,..
"Son, would you say that if you were buying a car or a house? I just don't care dad ( if the car has been totaled before or if the house has termites) I will just go with what they say" Son this hypothetical Car and House are of very little concern when compared to our lives. I know that I have taught you to "not take someones word for it when it comes to things like a car purchase or a house purchase why would this be any different?

wedaug 82012home of jehovahs witness congregation could be your new homepost on end post on .entry-meta lew lew change here end lew change here last week, a reader tipped us off that this kingdom hall of jehovahs witnesses at 1235-37 federal st. was available for sale.. the building.
as opposed to numerous other religious buildings that have gone on the market recently, this building doesnt have any particularly compelling architectural or historical features that make it crucial that its appearance is maintained.
seems like a good spot for a nude nightclub.
That is a great idea, especially since most of their customers would already know how to get there.
BAM!!

Easy to download, a little more difficult to read.
Must take constant breaks to cleanse the palate after bits of vomit enter the mouth after reading certain parts about keeping eldership IF you can hide your DFing sin for several years.

now on the alameda county superior court website.
guess who's going to win this one..
Sorry if this has been brought out elsewhere, but I have not seen it as of yet.
Has anyone noticed or pointed out that Kathy Conti, Candices mom was sexually abused by an elder when she was a child.
I was reading the transcripts of the actual case and it shows where Mr Schnack had argued that the info about Kathy being abused by an elder should not be told to the jury.
WoW!

Yeah,
I remember reading somewhere the letters back and forth from the London Bethel rep and the reporter from the Uk Gaurdian ( I believe it was) and how he busted the bethels reps balls when he caught him lying about the library card excuse.

the scene is familiar.. a jehovah's witness family with one member who has awakened from the lie.. the split comes down to an interesting wrong terminology:.
unbelieving mate vs believing mate.. .
the context of the entire family is as a jehovah's witness family.. damage has already been done.
Terry,
Marking this for later, if need be.
Also you said
"What has caused you to question Jehovah's loving arrangement?"
I think that some of the GB and elders think that the "g" in the last word is supposed to be silent.
