  My life After Bethel Part 1

  by new boy in

  2. friends

  the day i left it was pouring rain........i really screwed up, i found out the night before, as i was packing things up, that i had way under estimated how much stuff i had.

  i had two large suit cases (that i could barely shut the lids on) and a large army duffel bag.

  i would guess about 200 pounds of shit......my van was in rhode island with the engine out of it.

  Im sick of my life

  sorry but i really feel like i need to rant right now.

  recently my dad was made an elder so my family has been doing a lot more "theocratic" activities lately.

  every morning i wake up and put on my itchy dress and stupid makeup and heels and then pretend that i love what i'm doing and that everybody is my friend when in reality i feel horrible and all the other teenage girls at my hall hate me for some reason.

  I can offer no advice, and help, beeing not near you, but I implore you to treat your life as something precious, not depending on your present circumstances. good things await you in the future, so hang on and reach out, not in.

  Ridiculous statements in this weeks study article

  by the truth is mine in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  maybe it is just me but when i read this paragraph all i could do is shake my head and wonder how i used to buy into this crap and how people don't wonder what the hell the writers are thinking'.

  "imagine what life would be like if god did not have love for mankind.

  we merely have to look at the awful history of this world with its human rulerships under its unloving and wrathful god, satan the devil.

  Divergent: but wait - doesn't this invalidate the ransom sacrifice as Jesus did not die without being resurrected like Adam???

  but wait, did not Adam die, and paid for all sins, after all if in adam's sin all died, why not in Adams death redemption too? At least Adam proved he was still relatively perfect, lived to ~950 not just 30something.

  A loving god providing all these puzzles in "his word." beats crosswords.

  january 17, 1994 - my mom in van nuys was thrown out of bed by an earthquake and landed on the floor.

  since that time she has slept in a twin bed by the front door.

  for the first few years she slept in a recliner!

  it is a strange mix of emotions, the deep satisfaction to be in your own, home, castle, nest and knowing it is not fixed, but can move, shake, bury you. great news of the 93, 92 two year olds that look back or forward to the life they live.

  this is what europe is becoming?

  my work colleague in germany sent my this article in an email and it is perhaps one of the most disturbing things i have heard yet.

  i have been hearing about many of these recent homophobic and transphobic hate crimes taking place across europe but this one slipped through the cracks.

  The sexual assaults against "straight" women, is seen by these men as a sort of punishment against "unbelievers" too. How dare these ladies. offend the sensibilities of these guests by swimming in spandex and bikinis?

  Huge discrepancy between English and German wikipedia articles about JWs

  by Zana in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the english version seems fairly balanced.

  to me it almost has an apostate feel, citing coc or describing doctrine changes and interesting details about wt history.

  but the german version?

  The two paragraphs give totally different meanings. The german text is actually unique in admitting that the input by outsiders, letter writers, gave the impetus, the push to prompt the governing body to make [minor] changes to doctrines. Not that the 7 needed reminding, for example, that the generation of 1914, had failed. If you ever wrote a letter to Brooklyn you ill find out how far you get.

  The german text mentions nothing about verboten and bestrafung, expelling, shunning. How un-german.!! the softening of Europe?

  The migrants who have committed rape and sexual assault/harassment should be immediately deported. Where is the punishment first for this kind of crime that an born in citizen faces? like disfellowshipping in the wt. the police involvement?

  I found the information on the lapel cards very useful, discovered one man that way, who was on the same ocean voyage as I for 10 days, and ended up in the same religion, the same Circuit. and "wearing your heart on your sleeve." Possibly you could, if persistent and at first rebuffed, track down a prospective mate, if you could have read the congregation name.

  now she might then say: I don't want to badgered
