i am going to assume that everything you say is true.
now let us summarize the situation.. you are an 18 year old male who has kind of a general christian orientation, although you are not a member of a particular church.

Speaking about the flood again,I assume that in Noah's day
only a small part of the Earth was actually populated.
So why was the ENTIRE Earth flooded ?-not just the area that
was populated? If the cellar was full of rats you wouldn't
destroy the entire house would you ? -

Without a doubt for me it was the turnaround on education
Also the generation stuff,never been so confused in my life!
When you think about it the whole thing's a load of baloney -

My Story
by Kep inmy mother and grandmother are dubs, so it was a part of my life from the start.
both my dad and grandfather weren't, so it was what they call a divided household.. that sucked coz, after the meeting we were hurried off home to please the unbelieving mate.. so i never got to have real friends at the meetings and never had any activities outside of school.. as i got older i began to fit in with the school mates but felt restrained as we always had meetings to go to.. to cut a long story short, i got baptised when i was 18, had trouble keeping on top of meetings and witnessing etc.... i went weak, then inactive, found myself a girlfriend, non-witness, talked her thru the issues and problems i was going thru and so she decided to study.. we got married, she was baptised and things were going good.. as they were always pushing at assemblies to pioneer we felt we had to do that.. so as our circumstances allowed, she began pioneering.. you know, i look back and can say there was so much pressure put on couples who didn't have a family to seek first the kingdom.. as i had a checkered past according to some in the congo, it was a battle to attain privilidges.
but i worked at it, i would auxillary pioneer each year and use my vacation time to do it, brown nose the co each time he visited, and bend over backwards to do anything the elders wanted done.. and as time passed i became a ministerial servant.. then in order for me to become an elder i had to really work my ass off.. so i did, i sorted things out so i could also become a regular pioneer.. after 18 months of doing that plus continually working hard for the org i was appointed elder.. my family was stoked.. i had a sister whose husband had also been appointed elder, my other sister was a regular pioneer and my brother was living with me and doing as much as he could.

Hi Kep
Really enjoyed reading your story,a lot of it was familiar to
me as I was baptised at 16 pioneered till 23; I was working my way up the Borg ladder when My 1st mariage collapsed . It's only in the past 2 years or so that I blame myself for 75% of the problem because my pioneer wife got fed up and pursued education which I was vehemently against ( like a good witness) .
You've had a rough deal man and I can sympathise with your depression and drinking/suicidal feelings etc because I'm still having problems in those areas too . 4 years ago a very good witness friend of mine killed himself due to a combination of similar stuff. He too felt cheated by WTS about education and had a bad marriage. What a waste , he was a cool dude too.
Like yourself I'm only just deprogramming ... all those years take there toll don't they?
Look forward to more of your posts !

The reason I'm really posting is that loads of members

I'm sure I didn't dream this but as a jw child I seem to recall
this explanation for the flood:
Before the flood it didn't rain;there was a huge canopy of water
around the Earth which helped protect it and stabilised the temperature so there wern't extremes like now.
Plants etc grew with the help of early morning dew(!)
When the flood occurred Jehovah burst the canopy and tons of water
came down as rain thus flooding the entire Earth.
Ever since then we've had rain and the natural balance of Earth's weather was disrupted.
After Armageddon Jehovah will restore the canopy,and everything will be honkydoory again!
Anyone buy this ?? -

Before I graduated to DC I used to buy Whizzer and Chips , Monster Fun ,Beano, Dandy ,Eagle. They tended to be printed on low quality paper with jagged edges like newspapers .Every year there would be an annual hardbound edition around christmas time.
I never really got into Marvel comics . You were either DC or Marvel and stick loyally to one or the other ! -

Hi again
That reminds me of an elder I knew who told young ones that his favourite film is "Die Hard" ! Also met an elder at assembly who loved Terminator2 . Strange thing about my dad was he used to get The Sun newspaper with page 3 girls in .... wonder why ?
I suppose I'm picking a bit now but once you come away from it all you really remember all the hypocrisy more . Just one more (!).. I knew an elders son who showed me his collection of 18 cert films . His dad knew but told him to keep them hidden in a draw under his bed just in case ...
