I don't have one. But i've always wanted one. I went to a place and they had a small shunting layout and OMG it was so much fun haha. That will probably sound really sad. But the guy made it challenging but having to turn the points and put the train into reverse and forward and be careful with power. It was really good.

Imagine this. Someone has been involved in a car crash or shooting. Total strangers usually rush to the aid of the victims. Ringing for an ambulance, giving some kind of basic first aid. Ripping their own clothes to help stop the flow of blood leaking out. Giving their jacket to use as a pillow or blanket. Then being rushed to hospital and having a team of people who have trained long and hard and dedicated their lives to helping save lives. Yet... God watches... If no strangers, or dare I say it, Worldly people were around. This man or woman could call out to God until they use their last breath and God wouldn't do a thing.

8 satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.

I'm going to ask my brother and Mum to record the comments. They both go to two different congregations so I should have two sets of answers. To give them both credit, they do look into things if I show them. But they have a very strong shield up indeed. My Mum is all too aware of the issues regarding sexual abuse and shes appalled. But still keeps going back to this is Gods organisation as Vidiot mentioned two posts up.

Anybody seen this Doco. about Yahweh Ben Yahweh on TV.?
by smiddy3 inthe wife and i watched it last night on tv.. "uncovered: the cult of yahweh ben yahweh on oxygen tv.channel .i`m in vict.aust.. he must have been a charismatic person to gain so many followers in his early days when he created the "nation of yahweh" starting off in the miami area in the early 1980`s ?
and it spread throughout a number of "states" including ny state i believe.. he set up many places of worship and apparently gained a lot of wealth with his many activities & not all christ like .. he was not adverse to using thug like standover tactics when it suited him.. why i`m bringing this up here is i don`t think the wt/jw `s ever commented on his activities seeing he was using god`s name with the proper pronunciation.and he was gaining converts in their own territory so to speak.. they were always attacking the catholic religion at any given opportunity ,however as far as i can tell they never commented on his rise to fame and his ultimate fall from grace.. overall it was an interesting program .

I finally did it
by paradiseseeker init's done.. during the last month i've been talking with my closest friends about leaving the org and yesterday i finally talked with my parents.. it's been almost 5 months after i said that i would do it, but i think that this extra time has been beneficial.
i've said several times that i would opt for sending a resignation letter, but after talking to my best friends some of them suggested me becoming inactive and blocking my congregation's elders.
i've changed my mind and i will do that because the people that i care the most now know what's going on so they won't be worrying about me not attending the meetings.

Well done Paradiseseeker. You have certainly done the write thing brother. It can be very hard to make this decision that you have. I just hope your family are loving and kind to you after. But you know it was right to leave. I've been out for over 10 years. I have a 14 year old daughter. I wouldn't want her around this. Raised in this religion most of my life so it's still in my head as it will be yours. But enjoy your life and know we are all here for you.

8 Satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about Jehovah and about our brothers and sisters. (John 8:44) For instance, apostates publish lies and distort facts about Jehovah’s organization on websites and through television and other media. Those lies are among Satan’s “burning arrows.” (Eph. 6:16) How should we respond if someone confronts us with such lies? We reject them! Why? Because we have faith in Jehovah and we trust our brothers. In fact, we avoid all contact with apostates. We do not allow anyone or anything, including curiosity, to draw us into arguing with them.

Bring to ruin those ruining the earth, but what if we change.

they seem to be all excited that a lot of attention in the news right now is about climate change, greta, extinction rebellion etc... as you can image they are very smug saying see.

If there was once a giant water canopy surrounding the earth. The removal of that would most definitely have affected any future environmental change. Not to forget also the increase in such things as cancer that would have come about due to the increased exposure of UV light that we now face.

The bible was right.
I don't agree with what Extinction rebellion are proposing. But I do hope for massive changes to how we view our planet. I really would love governments around the world to make some incredible changes and show that we can clean up our act and pretty much destroy this scripture which is being read a lot right now on the ministry i bet.
