I don't think any person knows the mystery of the universe and one quote is about as good as any other. Some sound more believable than others but no one knows how it all originated or why? Life remains a mystery to me.

Untill the last year I stayed 50 years old. Now it has finally hit me, I'm getting OLD. I never felt my age and could do about any thing without pain or feeling like my body couldn't take it. Now my back has gone bad, I wake up in the morning feeling old, my mind doesn't work like it did, my skin is beginning to age and it all has happened in the last year. It's making me feel depressed. Nobody thinks I look seventy one but I'm beginning to feel that old. I'm really fortunate to not have to take any medicine or have some health problem but it's comming soon I'm sure. I still enjoy living so I'll just take it and keep going as long as I can.

I went to the memorial for years after I left the JWs, then one evening I was driving by the KH on memorial night and had forgotten about going. I haven't been back since. I discovered a tape awhile back that I had recorded of myself giving the memorial talk. I didn't seem to have any emotion at all, I just gave the facts as I believed them then, it was kind of strange to hear myself give that talk, it was like I was in a different world then.

Been gone awhile.(Rough past few three months)
by jakes ini have'nt been here for awhile.the family and i went through a very rough time over the past three months.most of it has been jw related and how negatively the teachings have affected a brother of my wife who has been diagnosed with bipolar.however,that i will leave for a different discussion.we have managed to pull through it all and we are slowly picking up the pieces.
i am also hard at work putting the final touches to my book.i will keep you posted on the release date.
this past weekend i stepped into a kingdom hall after more than two years.i attended a jw funeral of a friend who was not a jw.his family are all jws and i was actually surprised that permission was given to them to have it conducted in the kingdom hall.halfway through the talk i got up and walked out of the hall.i could not bare to listen to the pathetic reasoning laid out by the elder during his talk.hardly any comfort was given to the family in the talk.as one other poster mentioned,it all become just one big jw presentation and "sales talk".this was probably done because of the many non-jws that were in attendance.

I've been to a couple of funerals in the KH lately and compared to the ones I used to do 30 years ago they were much better now. My worldly wife thought they were OK too.

Governing Body Procedure Book
by startingover ini was just looking at a copy of a letter ray franz received from ny after he left, and it thanked him for returning the "branch organization" book and also the "governing body procedure" book.
i know the "branch" book is available online, but has anyone ever seen the contents of the gb book?
i can't remember if ray f. ever commented on it.

I can understand why they need an instruction manuel to run an organization as big as the WT society. It would be impossible to keep it organized without following certain proceedures, unless you really believe God's spirit runs it.

Resurrection vs. Re-Creation...
by Tuesday inum, what's the deal with this?
i'm speaking with a witness and he keeps talking about the resurrection and the way it's explained sounds like it's really a re-creation of all of our memories in god's mind then put back on earth in a re-created body.
so in essence a clone of me with my memories and personality will live forever in paradise, how exactly is that a resurrection.

Who knows what anything that's been promised in the bible means? Nothing has happened so far that's been visible, so it all must be invisible. Oh I forgot about all those people who came back in Chirst day when he died. Did anyone back then bother to talk to any of them?Matt:27:52,53. It really won't be you, you will be CHANGED in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye when that angel plays that trumphet. I guess that just happens to those who are BORN AGAIN, whatever that means. Or maybe your body goes back to dust and your spirit goes back to God? It gets too confusing, just pick your choice and go with that.

If anyone new the real answer to that it would be worth millions of dollars. I don't have the slighest idea how you would prove it since there have been billions of people who have died and we haven't been able to talk to any of them. If you accept what you see, nothing happens but there are so many things we can't see and the universe is so complicated, I guess you just have to make up your own mind what you think happens, and that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
If I can I will let you know as soon as I go there.
