i know i don't post here that often but this just kind of blew me away.
my dad just "came out" recently as annointed and i find it so weird.
he's always been pretty level headed and he's been in for over 30 years.
Gotta suck for your mom though.
That hadn't occurred to me.
Everyone who becomes anointed leaves a "Great Crowd Widow/Widower"
Aside from that I actually hope that the floodgates open. A Great Crowd which was smaller than the Little Flock would be highly amusing.

Second time today I agree with Tij (see quiz . . .)
Vai, Malmsteen and Satriani were the 3 that came to mind - and they don't do anything for me no matter how fast they widddly woo all day . . .
Of the 3 above I prefer Satriani because at least "Flying in a Blue Dream" had "songs" on it.
My award for "can't watch him without it putting a big smile on your face" goes to Angus Young from AC/DC
But my favourite like Tij would have to go to (possibly) my all time favourite band . . .
Robert Smith from The Cure - very underated
well my situation has developed a bit, any advice appreciated.. their has been a gradual building up of pressure ever since i stood down as an elder about 6 months ago.. i have been telling my wife about my doubts but have continued to attend "some" meetings.. as time has progressed i have become more open with my criticism of the org.. i mentioned the un scandal, molestation trials, false prophecy ect etc.. interestingly she does not deny these facts and yet still wants to continue as a jw.. i told her that god is not happy with people knowingly being part of a false prophet (deut 18 - etc) - starting to lay the groundwork for my exit.. she appreciates the difficult situation doubters are in - they cannot openly express their feelings for fear of jcs.. anyway, a few weeks ago we moved house which meant changing congregation.. but i felt it would be best if i did not attend meetings " at all" at the new cong so my fade could be easier.. but i could not have predicted my wifes response - when i told her it was an explosion of emotion, i mean real heartbreaker stuff.. she seems depressed at the prospect, perhaps the reality is finally hitting home.. last night, about 3a.m.
i noticed that she was not in bed.
i went downstairs and she was sobbing away to herself.. "i can't go to that hall myself!
So back to 3 a.m. - My wife says this - "At this point I just want to pack it all in, I cant bare going on my own. It is easier not to attend".
What a great idea!
A thought worth nurturing . . .
I'm sure that a couple of months of that and a new routine of a nice lay in (don't know if you have kids!) on a Sunday morning and then Sunday lunch out or at home, followed by a nice walk etc etc and the thought of going back doesn't seem so attractive - especially if your life remains/becomes full of purpose.
just wondering how many ex -jw's have become born again christians and whether or not this happened while you were still in the wt organization?
also, what is your experience now with god and christ?
** please non-believers, lets not use this thread to bash christianity again, or do the whole is there god/not god discussion all over again.
yep fraid so . . .
Thanks!
in no particular order, how about..... 1. do a sky dive/bungee jump.
2. meet the ruler of your country.
3. go to a football world cup final.. 4. do a streak whilst pissed out of your head.
See Liverpool go 27 years without a title . . .
One more than Man Utd
Sunday should be good!
Magoo.
Did it work for you?
reasons.. 1. china has a horrible human rights record.. 2. they are evaporating the us economy.. stop buying.
tell your store manager you won't buy their products..
Nothing personal, but . . .
1. China has a horrible human rights record.
Fair comment . . .
2. They are evaporating the US economy.
So it's ok to buy from other way smaller countries with appalling human rights records and dreadful sweatshop arrangements as long as they don't evaporate the US economy . . .
It's called an open market. Maybe all US companies should set the lead by refusing to have any goods manufactured there then you wouldn't have to buy them . . .
