  I don't recall children making calls.

  After I left the JWs, I began to live a normal and mentally healthy life (I'm still working on living a physically healthy one) . Anyway, in 2011, I met the woman of my life and we have been together ever since. And now we have a beautiful son who will turn 1 in January. It felt good to have the Christmas spirit again (no, I'm not a Christian). I had celebrated it up to the age of 7 in a non-religious household so it always was about presents and fun and family and never about Jesus for me.

  So, it felt good to begin a new tradition with my own family.

  And next month begins the tradition of celebrating his 1st birthday. He's kinda lucky because his dad is going to go overboard, me thinks, for missing out on so many of my own birthdays.

  A most interesting Christmas present

  by JeffT in

  so our daughter gave my wife and i a very nice family album of photos from the course of the year.

  as we opened it, she said it had a surprise hidden in it, so we're watching for something to fall out.

  about 2/3 or the way through it we hit an ultrasound print of a tiny baby.

  vigil help for burney man who died after being set on fire.

  community members shared their memories of wicks, a member of the jehovah's witness hall in burney.

  many of them remember him from his post at the shell station, where he worked along with his wife.

  Food for thought...

  If the guy we're John Q. Apostate and this was a pro-JW message board, would the responses be "sad", "horrific" or "RIP"? I AM actually commending you all for having normal human reaction.

  Still, if it were any of us set on fire, the typical JW responses would be "See what happens when you leave Jehovah"? or "It's too late for her. She has no resurrection hope".

  Who of us has ever thought, 'What's the point? I'm going to die anyway'

  by Funchback in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i truly believed the jws had the truth, i usually reverted back to 'what's the point?

  i'm going to die anyway' as a way to justify for doing so-called bad things or not doing so-called good things in jw land.. i shouldn't be watching this r-rated movie.

  (why stop?

  I once bought an R-rated movie (a horror film). I watched it a few times over the weekend, then threw it away several days later.
  

  Wow! I can totally relate.

  • I shouldn't be watching this R-rated movie. (Why stop? I'm going to die at Armageddon anyway).
  • I don't feel like attending the meeting today. (Why bother going? You're gonna be bird food come Armageddon time).
  • Normal sexual urges? (You might as well pleasure yourself or bang someone because Jah-Jah is going to destroy you).
  • Oh, no. Why did I write on my report that I did 20 hours of field service when only I did 4? (Oh, well. It doesn't matter because Almighty Jehovah will utterly destroy me).
    
    

  Did you all think like this too? As pale.emperor nicely demonstrated in another thread, the guilt one feels for actions, and inactions, are inconceivable...unless you have lived through it.

  It's no wonder I never advanced beyond sound guy and mic holder: my guilt ultimately held be back.

  But...My guilt is also what led me to explore the truth about The Truth (You might as well do some research. You're going to die anyway).

  Will Governing Body stop preaching work?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at this year's annual meeting (2016), david "mark" sanderson asks the audience the question, "are you determined to keep on preaching with us until we say the work is completed?

  " to which they respond with applause.

  do you think that stopping the preaching work will ever be a part of the gb's long range plan?
