interesting little thought .... i've decided to dedicate my body to medical school, and just before i die, i'm going to swallow a little plastic toy.
that way, the medical student who cuts me open will get a nice surprise.
i just hope the other medical students aren't sad because they didn't get a toy with their cadaver, too.

You can achieve the creamy middle by swallowing a tub of cool whip.
I don't mind dying... I just don't want to be around when it happens.

The only bad thing about the cool whip is that it will cause cavities.

if someone has already noted this, then i apologise, but i have just received the awake and i could not help but be amazed at the paragraph on page 9 .. they admit now that u s national earthquake centre report that large quakes "fairly constant throughout 20th century" furthermore they say.
" note though that the fulfillment of jesus words (matt.24.7)does not require an increase in the number or power of earthquakes....distress is measured not by number or how they rate on the richter scale, but by the effect they have upon people".
apparently it is all our fault for building in the wrong place.. is this not a u turn?.

well, it's finally over.
last saturday i talked with an elder about how i feel about the wt.
we talked for about 3 hours.
Yeah! Good for you!
That is exactly why I d'ad myself. I didn't believe in it anymore and didn't feel like living a hypocritical life. I wanted to be true to myself also.
God bless you!!!

i've been out of the witnesses for a year...and in that span i've become more of a skeptic towards any sort of religion or god.
i don't know if i will ever again have faith in a supernatural, all loving and powerful being.
i suppose this is because the only god i really know anymore is jehovah of the watchtower- who to me is nothing more than a jealous, angry and vindictive creature.
Hey - I really empathize with ya!
The fears you experience are natural when someone is ripped out of a cult or disassociates themselves from one. You have to almost learn a new way of life. Yes! God gives you a conscience and allows you to have free will. You have to learn to trust in yourself and your decisions. The Jehovah of the Watchtower is not the God I love now. (I beleive in orthodox chrisitianity.) You will also have to learn that NO ONE can give you all the answers. If they can, then they are a cult, or liars. NO ONE can know all there is to know about God. Religion is not the way to God. Jesus said that He was the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. He never said that he would have a religion that would be the Way , the "TRUTH" or the Life. Your fear of death stems from their constant teachings of death without the Watchtower. Trust me, I KNOW!! I've been out for 7 years, (I was born and raised in the WBTS), and still struggle with this issue. The difference is from the beginning to now, I know why I feel this way, and know that GOD knows that I was religiously abused. I know that He understands and loves me regardless. Time really does help. And although you will never forget, you will have to learn to cope.
By the way, when I left, first I felt angry, then scared, and now, I feel pity. It's literally a greiving process you will go thru.
If I can be of any help, let me know.

for me, the word was "loving".. great "loving" kindness.. great undeserved "loving" kindness!.
disfellowshipping is a "loving" provision.. when the wtbts want their accolytes to swallow another bitter pill, another restriction, another rebuke, another demand on time, the buzz word is "loving".. the "loving" word, is, to the average jw, the same as the mccabe nod is to the salesman.
the mccabe nod is used by salesman all the time to get the prospective customer to agree to something that he doesn't care for too much.
"End Times"
"Sheeplike ones"
"spiritual food"
"at the proper time"
"1914"
"this generation"
yada yada... can't stand the lingo.
