you remember the 'encouragement' to be teachable, humble, like little children.... well, children ask questions, and lots of 'em.... so, what happens when we keep on wondering and have questions that demand answers?.
according to jw's, a person has to stop being teachable like little children.
a person is told not to do any real research (which requires humility, a sense of wonder, and openness to new ideas and concepts)....for fear that research done outside of the organizations approved sources- their own- a person may discover contradictions and lies.
Listen, Obey, and be Blessed! And please do not think.

Forget "scriptural reasons." If you are both unhappy just do it. Or if she is making you miserable, do it. Never let any man-made organization continue to control you.

as a 13 year old a friend of mine had a jimi hendrix record and told me if we play it backwards that they said words.
he bought the record from a shop not far from where we lived and we were the only family that still had a record player.
so we played the record and i spun it backwards andnothing happened.

P.S. You can't play YouTube backwards.
the washtowel and asleep magazines made the list.
an over-zealous dub just posted this link to my facebook wall.

That poll HAD to be based just on circulation numbers. And the printing volumes have nothing to do with how much of that tripe is actually read.

i really thought that i would never go to another memorial service at a kingdom hall ever again.
i found out today that a man that i truly respected as a man passed away recently.
his daughter call me to let me know.. even though i haven't spoke to them in years, i still consider them family.
He was a good man that saw through the congregational and organization bullshit. My favorite quote of his is about people not getting what it is to be a true spiritual person:
"Some people can be waist deep in water, and never get wet"
RIP

It went as well as could be expected. I received a big hug from the SIL of the deceased. He has not shunned me ever, but we drifted apart over the years. I am sure that we will get together soon. The son was also very gracious, and was glad I was there. He was my first roomie when I moved out as a teenager, and we had some wild times.
Of course, the assholes were still f**king assholes!
The memorial talk was from an old friend of mine's son. He was always a good guy, we actually did some partying together back in the day. It was NOT the typical JW funeral talk. It was how I imagined I would have done it if I was giving it. He did not use the official outline, and talked more about the man and very little about the sales pitch.
Overall it was a good experience. I still have hope for some of my old friends that are still trapped in the cult. They still have their humanity.

Even though I haven't spoke to them in years, I still consider them family. Her and I had a long conversation today and caught up on the past years of our lives. I will be there to offer support on Saturday.
Some friendships cannot even be killed by the Borg.
