i am kind of like a puppy dog, in the aspect of liking to meet new people.
they hold out a "wonderment" to me.
new thought.
I am kind of like a puppy dog, in the aspect of liking to meet new people. They hold out a "wonderment" to me. New thought. New idea. I know what's in my head, but not in yours, so I am happy to be quiet and let you speak, unless I realize you are shy.
We are trained to make an effort.
Just wondering what your experiences were visiting different Halls, back in the day.
As a stranger, going thru the door, were you "love bombed"? or ignored?

supply pictures if you can.. i have ridden an elephant.

JeffT>>>>>What a wonderful family you have! Your parents are an outstanding example of human beings having a happy, fulfilling and extremely successful life. And it had nothing to do with religion. Can you imagine what a loss it would have been to mankind, if your parents had wasted their lives slaving for The Watch Tower Society, instead of your dad's chosen field, in research? I am so happy for you, and that you and your wife left the WTB&TS years ago. It is a pleasure to meet you.

so i have been a lurker on this forum since its inception.
i registered over a year ago.
i jumped in several months back with a highly controversial subject of my daughter being sexually abused by an elder and the efforts we were taking to bring him to justice.
Wow...and well written. Tragic all around and then, you, stopped that wheel of destruction. Sounds like you have come out well adjusted and like any normal person, making sure your family is well loved and making positive changes for the better.
I am humbled by your circumstances and your journey.
Your story and your family give courage to others. Thank you for sharing it with us.

some of my friends are weekend warriors, so to speak.
days off are not always the weekend.. do you get to chill out?
coco is semi-retired but always tired .
Dazed But Not Confused>>>>>Now, with a new lease on life, knowing that the end is not near/coming, my life is focused on providing a better life for myself and my family.
I am so happy for you Dazed. You and your family are another success story. Working hard, getting paid, helping your loved ones enjoy this life, now.
Co Co>>>>>For my daughter and I, we have needed to recuperate from the years of trauma we have endured. Now, without having the Watch Tower Society, life is comparably stress free.

just read this:.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/corporations_of_jehovah's_witnesses.
watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc.. watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc. is a corporation used by jehovah's witnesses, which is responsible for administrative matters, such as real estate, especially within the united states.
I had someone challenge me 4 - 6 weeks ago, when I said Watch Tower Society was a billion dollar business. In my mind, how many billions?
My personal feelings for the 8 pope-ettes, the Legal department, the paid Lawyers, behind them, is, they are the creepyest of the scum at the bottom of a cess pool. There is no difference in them or any other religion. Religion is big business.

i was recently speaking to an elder "off the record" while helping him do some house repairs.
i have a comfortable enough relationship to speak openly with him about things, but am careful to disclose the extent of my disbelief in wt doctrine.
anyway, this guy wouldn't last a day in the mafia because he can't keep anything confidential.
EmptyInside>>>>>Your comment about having a relative Elder that was not really understanding the New Light and you are thinking that as a spirit appointed Elder, he should at the drop of a hat, be able to explain it to others.
My thought of him is as a possible good guy Elder, who hasn't digested this latest piece of garbage, thus cannot ticker tape it out, possibly giving him, constipating thoughts.
How many years, before they change it again? Who knows. Hopefully, he will have awakened to TTATT by then.

Yes. I know the ritualistic dance. I was picking a Memorial talk "dance", in my minds eye, that I had seen in my old, old Hall years ago. The speaker stood behind the podium, was handed the unleavened bread and wine in front of all. If he partook, everyone could see.
May I ask, did they hold it against you, and think you had "problems" and removed you? Or did you step down after a while?
Sorry. I thought I had heard every story possible but I'm still getting surprised.
Just Lois...Way Over On The Other Side
