  hi guys, i don't really post on here much anymore, having been on here since 2001. this site helped me out in the early days and has been a great support system for all of my past jw issues.

  like many others i was discouraged from an education so that i could window clean and pioneer in my youth during the 80's.

  having spent many years post my jw exit in alcoholism and periods of drugs, i decided to clean myself up 7 years ago by attending aa, i was still a window cleaner ... at the time i wrote extensively on here about my issues.

  km august 2014, page 3 paragraph 6(article for this week's service meeting):.

  "the month of october 2014 will see the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the kingdom.

  for this occasion a special edition of the watchtower will be on this theme.".

  I had this conversation with a JW recently, their eyes just glazed over. Essentially WW1 started before war in heaven started and satan was kicked out of heaven, which of course makes no sense.

  BTW, the OP said "But This war started in august", it was actually end of July

  this might be my last post.

  i've had quite a few things on my mind over the past few years, mainly my belief in god.

  i've tried to move on from the jw past but that's really being foolish.

  I don't think it'll make you feel more weird, it should help get things into perspective for you. Don't worry, I'm sure a lot of us experience the same anger and frustrations at times over the hold they had, other people have difficulties to deal with too.

  Food For Thought

  andre gide its is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.. the words of wisdom from the deceased french author echo through my mind every day, and they make me think, would the people in my congregation give me their unconditional love if i was not doing well in the congregation spiritually?.

  spiritually as in giving well in the congregation, making nice comments, doing parts in the service meeting, reading during the book study on stage, working at the literature counter, and recently becoming a servant.. of the 20 or so young ones in the hall only me and 4 others are progressing spiritually.

  ive seen the way brothers and sisters have treated those in the hall that arent progressing and dont take the truth seriously.

  I found it astonishing how JWs analyze every minute detail of Greek and Hebrew (allegedly) to work out the days we live in and yet don't even know how their god's name is pronounced. It just seems weird to me.

  i just found out that a good friend of mine has past,after a long sickness.

  she had the strength and the moral fibre to call herself a servant of the most high.

  don,t look into your own inflictions for it is a path well traveled lited with broken life's but look at the good that you can do right now.

  Sorry for your loss. I'd agree we need to see what good we can do today to help even just one person. I believe that if there was a most high they would have been the same, I see no evidence to show me that.

  Welcome, it's good to have you here and I wish you all the best in your journey. I'd agree with jwfacts about making sure uni is not blamed for you leaving the organisation. It sounds like your dad is a sensible and logical person. Remember he's in a cult.

  Is this the start of a change of policy regarding individual JWs preparing internet pages.

  this is a quote of a quote taken from anthoney mathenia:.

  " for organizations like the watchtower, absolute control of their message is paramount.

  it will not even allow its own adherents to spread their good news online.

  I predict that this website will be taken down as soon as the CO finds out about it and reports it to his bosses at HQ.

  I agree. I made a website many years ago for the congregation I was in at the time and it was pulled after a strongly worded KM about 6 or 7 years ago.
