  I went to my first one when I was still a witness (kind of rebelled with that, we aren't supposed to go as an 'example' to our children not to go to their high school activities).....then went to my second one when I was fading. It was awkward cuz I had a fake facebook account where I made lots of ex witness connections, and my husband was still mentally in, so I didn't tell him about it. Since a lot of school friends knew me from that account I had to ask them to not mention it at the reunion!! So glad he left with me, and I don't have to keep secrets like that anymore.

  James you will have a wonderful time! Review your yearbook if you have one so you can refresh your memory on these people.

  Orchestral Accompaniment for Singing at Congregation Meetings

  by pixel in

  to all congregationsre: orchestral accompaniment for singing at congregation meetings.

  dear brothers:.

  many will find that the newly composed orchestral recordings are more inspiring andconducive to our worship than is piano music alone.

  Singing along at the conventions was awful, the orchestral music not written in such a way as could be easily accompanied by voice. Singing at the KH was dull enough, at assemblies so much worse. Now I guess it gets to be like that all the time! Ah well, at least I don't go anymore!

  so the head of the elders the cobe or whatever their called was the one who talked with me when i had doubts.

  or i should say came running when my wife called the elders on me.

  he while not really looking at my 10+ page document proving one of their major doctrines wrong and trying to find out my true motives.

  I agree with safeathome, maybe he will be more merciful of others now and not so self righteous. And I wish the best for his daughter, may she find happiness in her new home and newfound freedom.

  I listened. I obeyed. Then I realized...

  what was that blessing part about?

  i kept hearing pioneers talking about the blessings that they were receiving and as i looked at their lives objectively, there really isn't anything special about them.

  maybe they are just more appreciative of things than other people.

  When I gave them the check, she said 'but we won't be able to pay you back' and I said I didn't expect them to. I was happy to help them out. It just hurts that they dropped me so quickly later...but as oubliette would say, let's review...

  Thank you incognito! I am speechless.

  ok, edited to say this: it is like watching severely malnourished children lapping up a few drops of milk dripping from a table.

  Are you religious or are you spiritual? Wake up to what?

  by Deltawave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is a huge difference between been religious and been spiritual.

  been religious is about been superior to others in the sight of god.

  however, been spiritual is about self awareness, inner peace and unity with the natural world.

  I've heard lots of people through the years, people at the door, teachers, professors, and friends say they admire the philosophies of these religious leaders, but not their religions. None of these people were promoting the BK cult, but it is the way they feel about Jesus Muhammad and Buddha.
