chance encounter with cantleave.
re; led zeppelin, iron maiden ect.. combined with a little chat with my daughters yesterday about drink, drugs and society.
( the herb being harnless v the shrooms ).
Soontobe is exactly right.
Heaps of good bands and musicians around today.
The thing is though, popular music of the 60's and even 70's was nearly all good, and some of it will go down as the most influential and defining of all time. Hendrix and The Beatles...need we go on.
Popular music these days is mostly crap. But there is tonnes of great bands out there, it just seems they don't get commercial success.
or the 2000's generation thing?.
how did you feel?
how did it help you wake up?
Some great posts on this thread and it's interesting to read others experiences.
It wasn't exactly the generation thing that woke me up but it did get me researching 1914/607. I always felt that the overlapping generation explanation did not make sense, since in didn't quite correspond to the generation that Jesus spoke to, who saw the destruction of Jerusalem within 40 years. I got thinking that maybe 1914 was the issue, and not the generation.
I can understand what someone is trying to convey when they say 'this generation'. It's not complicated. But when I looked into 1914, that sh!t is crazy. It is no accident that 95% of today's JWs could not explain how to arrive at 1914. It is probably one of the only teachings of C T Russel that has endured, and it shows.
I think Sir was spot on with his post. This generation of dubs are nothing like the old timers, and the late 90's will go down as a turning point for this crazy end times religious sect.
that's right, and it's great!
i don't know exactly why because he hasn't turned apostate and still seems to believe jw things.
i don't feel comfortable in asking him why he doesn't go to meetings anymore for some reason, or find out what he believes and if the things i've told him bout ttatt influenced his decision.
That's good news. Witnessing sucks big time. So do meetings. With a bit of luck he will be "mentally diseased" real soon.
once we found out we were all witnesses, we all hugged.
now we just had to see if our kingdom hall was still standing.
when we came to the hall we had such a huge shock.. there were so many people there.
I honestly couldn't read it all the way through. It was a little sad, a tad disturbing and completely crazy. Stuff like this is evidence that the JW belief system is not good for normal mental health.
2 broke girls is the worst show on tv.
the acting is terrible.. what show do you avoid??.
.
The Big Bang Theory is terrible. I have tried to watch it many times but I cannot laugh at any of it. I have never watched a minute of 2 Broke Girls but I am sure it is also a steaming pile of crap.
i worried most about losing my dear family, but i also had silly worries like, what would happen to my pets?
say i didn't have a chance to let the cats out, they would starve inside my house.
and what if people were so starving because of the big gt famine and stole my chickens!
I use to worry that the big A would come when my football team was having a great season.
I use to hope that my favorite musicians would die before the big A so they could get a resurrection, then we could hang out and write songs together .
Neil Young, Eddie Vedder and I just keepin it real in paradise. Jeff Buckley, Hendrix, Lennon and many others are dead so that would work out fine for my paradise-musical pipe dreams. Crazy I know.

true faith is followed by good fruits/works.. dead faith is followed by bad works or no works at all.. 30 bad fruits/works of counterfeit christian religions.
We help people by offering them life giving water, the Good News of God's kingdom of which Jesus is king
King since 1914 right?
Unfortunatley for you and the WTS the 1914 date is gigantic crock of sh!t. You are doing nothing for these people except misleading them. Matthew 24:4,5.

Blood fractions are taken from blood, which is donated from people who want to help give others the chance to keep living.
JWs don't donate blood, but will accept it from others in the form of fractions.
Jesus was wrong, there is more joy in receiving (life saving blood fractions) then there is giving (life saving blood).
It is hypocrisy for JWs to take blood fractions. Give blood or don't take it.
It is hypocrisy for a JW to get on his high horse while he is interacting with apostates on this site.
You are not supposed to be here, go do some KH maintenance or Family Worship, it will be much more refreshing than associating with apostates.
Flip the bird at KH's?
Seriously?
What's next? Armpit fart noises at DC's and CA's to be disruptive?
@wha happened? - lol this is going to be what brings down the WTS. Obscene gestures made out the front of KH's and a chorus of fart sounds at DC's.
The AFNDC. Armpit Fart Noises at District Conventions.
Please show support by donating money to this new organization. We need funding to get this initiative off the ground.
I might even conduct a survey on this site, to find out who would be willing to volunteer their time to make armpit fart noises at the upcoming DC's.
