"strike while the iron is hot!

jehovah's witnesses are confused regarding the present "times and seasons", more brothers and sisters are resigning themselves to the fact, that they will probably die before jesus christ returns.

men and women are realizing things don't make sense, yet they continue to put their heads down and remain loyal to "men", not jehovah god.

i've heard enough to make my stomach sick, childish talk from two-faced liars, hipocritical "the friends" "the bestest people on earth", blah blah blah!.

the rampant gossip is breaking me down, i think there is no such thing as a "best friend" in thee watchtower universe of pulp fiction.

slander, malicious bitter back-biting.

how much force did guilt play into your relationships with other witnesses?

we wasted so much of our lives chasing things that are not real, love that was highly conditional and relationships with people that evaporated once we started to fade away.. .

i would force myself to talking with nutty brothers who seemed to be "short their rent each month, never able to catch up".
