so do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.
what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.
if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.
No..definitely not magazines or brochures, but I was sentimental and kept a copy of the great teacher book, bible stories, my witness bible and mustard songbook (what an ugly color) unfortunately didn't have a copy of the pink songbook anymore, would like one.
The books I chucked, I just tore off the covers and recycled the rest. No I didn't feel guilty. And the newer paperback books recycle nicely without any alterations :).
i'm new here but not new to researching and questioning the jw beliefs.
i have quite a story.... one that's been haunting me for awhile... but first, i'd like to hear what people have to say about this topic question, please.. -gigi.
my mom was emailing a group thread of rhetoric about isis and armageddon, and i finally got sick of it and said some pretty intense harsh things about ideals, and wishing for armageddon.
then it went back and forth like some debate, all the while i am holding back unloading serious ttatt on my family.
i put a whole bunch of scriptures where the wonderful yahweh committed infanticide.
But their game IS disfellowshipping. They don't really have a definition for those who have faded. 'Inactive' isn't accurate...witnesses who go to meetings but not in service are 'inactive'.
it's just to be able to still talk with family. I really like tho, that you make your mom see you. She knows you love her. But everyone is different and has different personalities. Most of us couldnt do that, I think.
hey guys and gals,.
sorry to keep harassing you with these posts.... so today, i decided i was ready to look at a text from a sister who "liked" me.
she knew about my depression and apparently she says everyone is worried about me and she wants me to respond because she's worried that i'm not "here" anymore.
after almost 24 years in the school and doing it since i was nine years old, i officially resigned.
it has become increasingly difficult to prepare talks, especially with the new format for brothers.
i did not mind doing them; i actually put the time and effort into getting them out.
ok guys, this is long, so i am sorry, but i think it is important to publish.
this is a glimpse into a 4 page letter (love that song) from my uber elder uncle.
as some of you may know i got tired of being in an email chain and finally lost it and lashed out.
first off i want to say that i'm a teenager which makes my situation interesting.
i don't want to give too many details in case someone i know reads this but i'm between 14 and 18, homeschooled, and i've been awake for around one or one and a half years.
i already have a plan to attend usc or wisconsin university if i'm smart enough to get in and then move to san jose and try and get a job working for a hs football team or with a soccer team, since i want to coach sports or be an agent.. now, this all sounds great in theory but there's one thing i've been thinking about that makes me doubt my plan.
