Now, I have to admit something here: If I believed in God, and if I attended a church, this is how I’d like it go. No golden treasures on display, and no loud rock & roll, no chanting in any language foreign or domestic, and no sitting on the floor on pillows getting muscle cramps in my calves.

You know if the WTBTS got a hold of this, they would proudly quote it in a Watchtower or Awake.

What about your vow to Jehovah?

by a watcher in

did you get baptized without being dedicated?.

why did you allow men to come between you and jehovah?.

why were you serving jehovah at all?

dazed but not confused

Whatever "vow" I made, was made under duress (i.e., I would be destroyed at Armageddon™ in the future and would be ostracised in the present if I didn't), and furthermore, was led to that decision by fraudulent information by well-intentioned, though equally misinformed, individuals.

I couldn't put it any better than that. Well said.

It is a gorgeous, sunny Sunday

i'm so glad i have been able to be puttering around my yard, planting flowers, pulling weeds, drinking coffee while on the porch, instead of being locked in a stuffy kingdom hall, being bored to death, watching the clock and hoping nobody was going to be long-winded on the comments at the watchtower and we would end up overtime.

.

isn't it great to be able to have a leisurely sunday morning?.

dazed but not confused

We just got back from the park and shopping as we passed the hall where we would attend. I was thinking back as we passed how I remember feeling going to the meeting on such a beautiful day. I remember thinking how I hated Sundays because most of the day was ruined by the meeting. Our kids will not know the “joy” that is meeting attendance.

I love my Sundays now.
