a year ago i had a rough time and posted this .
it was a controversial topic, some people got offended by my overly boastful tone, others offered help.
i appreciate any kind of opinion and i try to correct the flaws in my personality.
Wow, and I always thought "I love you" was an instant boner killer.
I love how removed from the situation you've allowed yourself to be now. It takes balls to have enough insight to critique yourself from an objective perspective. I'm proud of you, @will-be-apostate. Only a truly confident person could have the gall to say, "hey, I was wrong." You've gone a step further to do it on a public forum! I like you already.
Not love.
Just like ;).
i was just thinking of an illustration that may apply.. what do we do if our computer operating system is corrupted?
perhaps through a virus, or because of outdated or corrupted technology?.
do we hang on to that computer because of sentimental reasons?
@FedUpJW Sounds like the electronic version of a reform. All in favor of a factory reset for Watchtower, say aye.
look what an ex-bethelite has to say about the spirit channeling he saw first hand up at wallkill:.

@deegee I was the one who had upvoted you, lol. Read it and was like, "damn, that's some really cool reasoning." Then had some de ja vu... ;).
moses spoke to the entire assembly deuteronomy 31:3, leviticus19:2 and exodus 16:9 no sound amplification, we must remember he was speaking to 2 million people.
solomon in 2 chronicles spoke to thousands maybe millions, so how the hell did folks a mile away hear..you need a sound system for 200 folks in a close building in the kh.... moses, solomon and others had a great set of vocal cords.....
@moreconfusedthanever Christ Jesus, Kraft Cheeses... same sh*t.

No, seriously, you're right. Good illustration.

@James Mixon Millenial JWs be like, "Oh ma gah, Jesus is trending right now. #followthatchariot"
i was baptized 30 years ago and have been in the faith for over 35 years.. our organization isn't perfect.
but i'm sick to death of seeing stereotypes about us.
we are not mindless automatons.
@exjwlemming Apostates aren't usually ones who were fringe members or spiritually "weak"ones. Apostates are generally those who were faithful JWs. Ones who'd served in Bethel. Others who were pioneers. Some who were elders. Even a Governing Body member. We're the ones who obeyed instructions from the top and sacrificed accordingly. And above all, we valued truth and honesty. I guess since there's not much at stake for those wishy-washy members, they feel no need to investigate the real truth honestly. And since people like the OP are so seasoned at lying about their double life, it makes sense that honesty isn't something they'd keenly pursue. What matters most is how you're perceived by your equally fake JW peers, isn't it OP?

@deegee "God seems to take delight in feeding into Satan's desire to harm and destroy His creation instead of simply casting Satan and the demons to some obscure, gaseous ball of hydrogen 45 billion light years away."
Thanks for the credit:

@James Donalds If none of your "worldly" activities are controversial in your congregation, why do you have to hide the fact that you vote, dear? If you're loud and proud about the double life you lead, perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing your real name and congregation. I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with your COBE being informed of this fine Witness you've given to all of us (including "worldly" people who are interested in JWs) on here :D.
Warm Apostate Love,
WHAM!
confidential items are of most interest of course, just curious what they're talking about there in general and what are the newest things everyone is being warned about, etc.
