Anyone been hit by the spirit
I hit the spirit. I guess you could say I am full of the spirit. It feels good
I just gotta make sure my kids don't rape me now like poor Lot.
when i believed in god i tried not to pray for anything selfish.. after a while i began to think that a lot of things i was asking my imaginary friend in the sky for were selfish for some reason.. i do not ever remember a single thing i prayed for ever being answered.
if there was the appearance of an answer it was because i did mental gymnastics to make it fit the delusion that god had actually answered me.
there was never an obvious message/answer from god.

Sounds like bullshit if you ask me.
it's got to be reading the old testament.
that is some messed up sh!t.. .
your choices are basically to think it's based on things that happened but men's version of events, there is tons of allegory, that it's just a bunch of made up nonsense, or to rip those parts of your bible out and pretend they don't exist.. .
Yadda, that is one of the best posts I have ever read on this site. Brilliant.
Either that or the vodka I have been drinking this arvo is catching up with me.

You are in that weird cult. The Brahma Kumaris or something.
Why don't you just start one thread titled, "Weird Cultish Bullshit". You could bump it every couple of hours instead of starting new threads every other day.
when you were in the truth did you find websites like this and read what the other side has to say?
i am in that stage and i feel as if i'm seeking out the ttatt.
i feel the wt society is hiding way too much.
Do not waste your life being a JW.
Leave the JWs ASAP. Or sooner if possible.

quite simply, most jw's are scared as heck of ever reading information critical of the watchtower society.
deep down they genuinly fear their 'faith' wouldn't stand it.. ignorance and resisting contrary information is the final defense for jw's.
it is the fall-back position they mentally run to at the slightest bit of criticism.
That last WT quote you posted is a good one.
Where did it all go wrong?...... with a drunken, arrogant delusional fool, Mr Rutherford.
Yes, like cofty said. This happens to me quite a bit, no reply box.
Interesting topic.

The WT does not try to keep anyone's interest. It succeeds in keeping people feeling guilty and worthless about not doing enough, and in fear about falling out of favour with Jehovah/The org.
