Sitting Still at Meetings has Become an Impossibility
by venusinfauxfurs in
1. jw
2. experiences
since i know the truth about jw, and still have to go to meetings for family reasons (and because i don't want to leave my friends, either) i get so sick in my chair in the hall.

i can't pay attention, i can't sit still knowing it's all such a waste of time and a big fat lie.

i get weird symptoms like: the feeling that i'm going to almost pass out, very sweaty or very cold, and weak legs though i'm sitting down, and the urge to get up and run away.

by elderelite in

these moments are something that not eveyone has experianced, but if you have they are with you every day.

a true moment of clarity is not something you live once.

you live it every time you think of it.

Which is your favourite single malt Scotch Whisky, and why?
by lifelong humanist in
1. jw
2. friends
as a true scot, i'm deeply passionate about most things scottish, any possibly one of our small nation's most successful export is my main favourite - our single malt whisky heritage.. i'm writing this while savouring a 12 year old highland park - distilled in the orkney islands, the most northerly distillery in scotland.

it is one of my favourites - it was my late father's favourite tipple.

yet, only 500m from my house is scotlands oldest legal whisky distillery - glenturret, in crieff.

A New "Class"?
by Pathofthorns in
1. watchtower
2. bible
(edited for waiting :).

in 1935 a "new class" was "discerned" when the great crowd was understood to have an earthly hope and survive armageddon.. could there be a new "class" of witnesses surfacing today?

the articles, such as those on blood, feature a "some" whose conscience permits this and that.

Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?
by Maxee in
1. jw
2. friends
when we think of the governing body in brooklyn do others like myself automtically think of them as the faithful and discreet slave?

haven't we been taught that they run the organisation known as the watchtower and bible tract society?

now its looks like i personally may have been wrong.. is it run by a group of legal rofessionals.
