bro jackson.

indicates total destruction of the wicked system and its spirit.. we (the anointed) are prepared for that day.

they didnt see the whole picture and only had a limited perspective so they lost confidence in jehovah and moses.

Jesus trusts the Faithful & Discreet Slave (of the Watchtower) and so...............we should too! What proof is there for any thing like this??

my happy bubble is deflating.

i'm looking at the richmond and toronto apostafest pics and i'm longing for company.. it's been a really long time since i enjoyed good company and warm friendship.

even before we became inactive our friendships with witnesses had waned.. i really am very social.

in 1961 my father was disfellowshipped for not doing to the kingdom hall he was assigned to.. if i'm lying...my dying!.

it was the glendora california congeration.

the committee was.. john smoley.

My sin for which they DF'ed me was 'non meeting attendance'! I told them I was glad, for at least it was not for something serious!

Why did they feel the need to 'kick me out' when I already was 'not there'?

as some of you are aware i am in the early stages of doubting the wts as the only channel of truth.however i am assailed by feelings of guilt.am i being seduced by the words of disgruntled witnesses or ex-witnesses or am i truly doubting !

!maybe some of you felt this way in the early stages of your "defection" from the wts.sometimes i feel as though i am rejecting god and his organization but other times i feel so strongly that the wts has misled me and is acting to control my "loyalty" by vieled threats of destruction at armageddon.you see prior to becoming a jw i had no religious affiliations.i knew nothing about the bible or god.so for 20 yrs i have only known watchtower teachings and un-learning 20yrs of this is making me so indesicive.am i doing the right thing or not ?

my only solace is prayer.i have prayed to god to show me in some way what the truth really is.i must admit that these prayers have been the most heartfelt i have ever said.have others felt this way and if so how did they deal with it ?i would truly appreciate some feedback.

Simply stated, the Organization runs on 'fear & guilt'! When followers find that out, the Society loses it's power over you and then you are free indeed.

Rainy Days- Love Em or Hate Em?

My view of rain is probably because of my JW experience. What could be better than to wake up on a Saturday moring and seeing hard rain. I have psychologically come to love and appreciate storms and rain... No service, yea!
