These days of “special activity” seemed great and all until the moment came when you realized that it was no different than any other day in serve-us.
Come to think of it, the Borg seems to lack the understanding of what “special” means. 🤔

An old creepy C.O. told our congregation that joke a few years ago. Although it was funny at the time, it’s definitely up there on the creep meter now.

It was said of a daughter of a family that moved into my hall that she claimed she was molested by an elder. We were told to watch out for her because “she liked to lie a lot and tell stories for sympathy.”
I could just tell by her attitude and way she carried herself that something was seriously wrong, but because her family was “spiritually weak” they were never taken seriously.
So yea this kind of thing probably happens more than any of us know. Just because a person is judged as “spiritually weak” doesn’t mean they can’t be trusted.

We still have a guy come over every couple of weeks to invite us to the meetings. I haven’t the heart to tell him to stuff it!! He’s too nice to be mean to. I remember how getting a bad door kind of put a damper on the whole day and I don’t want them to think I’m some bitter defecter.

Bible comes alive if we look for meaning behind the symbols it uses
by Ireneus inbible contains too much human thinking presented as though from god, thus much of its information brings dishonor to god.. yet it contains great beneficial truths behind the symbols it uses.
let us take the only two cases of miracles jesus performed without any request from anybody which would show the very purpose of his ministry:.
1) jesus healed a woman who “was bent over and could not straighten up at all.” (luke 13:11-13).

I can’t get past the part where it says green vegetation came one creative day before the sun.

Did Your Taste In Music Change After You Woke Up?
by pale.emperor inafter i awoken from the cult, i went through the normal process of not knowing who i was and what my tastes where.
looking back this was a wonderful time in my life because i experimented and tried different things and now i like or dislike things because i personally like/dislike them - not because i've been told they're good or bad.. black pudding is an example - it's made of blood and is a popular addition here in britain to fried breakfasts.
i tried it for the first time last year and i can confirm that it is indeed revolting.

I started listening to death metal a bit before leaving the cult. I was deeply depressed and that type of music “talked to me” at that particular time. Afterward I started listening to some of the softer rock and jazz that I used to like but I still go back to death metal now because I really enjoy it.

Ahh the days of endless research yet only into “The Society’s Publications”. Doing research outside that was frowned upon.
Should have known something was wrong with that logic.🙄

So I guess my old hall got dissolved. The great decrease continues....
by Darkknight757 inmy mil came by to drop some pressure on my wife to go to the three day this weekend.
she told her that she wants our baby to live forever and that she wants us to come back.
apparently people would be “so happy” to see us return to the fold.

And what Finkelstein said of capable men to take the lead? Absolutely it’s a big problem. The ding dongs who came over even admitted that they are desperate for men to take the lead.
Before I left there was a severe lack of talent amongst the people and all the ones who were good had issues so they couldn’t serve, (Drugs, depression, chronic masterbation) all keeping them from qualifying. Then there was the lazy who didn’t want all the extra work. (Honestly looking back now I don’t blame them.) I envied them for being able to just sit back and take in cult teachings.
