  because i'd give anything not to feel this way.

  Feelings can be changed. Repetitive mental patterns that keep you

  stuck are like any bad habits. People go to the gym to change their

  body habits and restructure themselves. Take action. Join new groups.

  get involved with new pursuits, new projects, new goals, both physical

  and social. Go to new places and meet new people with different points

  of view. You can move your life in new directions by conscious effort.

  having just past 50 i have been reflecting on my childhood with the witnesses.

  the people i grew up with who are the same age with elderly parents some still alive.

  i tend to have a positive attitude but i realise that for me this is it.

  HowTBWC - 35 is not old - you could start now from scatch and have

  teaching credentials and a Masters by 40 and work 25 years making

  $80,000 a year and retire on 80% of that in pension. There is much you

  can do in the next few years to change the rest of your life, and you will

  probably live to 80 years old so thats another 45 years.

  Do not give them any information at all.

  They really never gave you any.

  Just "slip out the back, Jack" "make a new plan"

  Drop off the key ( in the middle of night )

  " Set yourself free." No discussions, no explanations.

  No forwarding address, the less they know the better.

  He was a cultural misfit , but that is true of foreign students everywhere.

  He was raised in priviledge, driving a BMW. Asian mother, Chinese?

  He was attractive, but arrogant and he focused on the one group, the

  "popular" kids. He was jealous and a malcontent, his video has him plotting

  evil against both men and women"piles of skulls" he talks about. His father was

  one of the Directors of the Hunger Games, which features teenagers killing each other.

  Did violence in movies effect him ? He was self centered and pitied himself.

  Obsessive, he had discovered no personal special work he wanted to do.

  Find your work, that is often the key to happiness.

  i ended up winning the bid for $125.00 plus shipping.

  steve2 - Well put. What extreme level of delusion the rank and file who remain in

  have. The latest message the "Governing Body" is putting out,

  is "Don't believe anything you see, or have read or were told by us,

  in the past, and just face foward and keep marching and follow us blindly,

  keep your eyes on the organization as your only hope."

  The fact that this equals idolatry, completely escapes the followers.

  The belief they preach is not a belief in God or YHWH and certainly

  not in Jesus Christ as their mediator or savior or hope of the world,

  it is clearly to direct all worship to themselves.

  They believe they are "God's People" and there is not one doctrine

  or shred of evidence that this is the case. The same superior attitude

  they have always had and the same worshipful fear of their own leadership.

  The "Organization" runs the rank and file, like a North Korean

  multi-generational prison camp.

  1 World leaders say “Peace and security!” -

  What News are you listening to?

  2 Nations attack and destroy “Babylon the Great”

  The sale of Kingdom Halls, the lawsuits won against the Watchtower

  for protecting JW peophiles? The sales of WT property in New York,

  the exposure of the Watchtower as a False Prophet ?

  False doctrines taught by the Watchtower and their unbiblical

  teachings have reduced Kingdom Hall attendence.

  Who is being attacked ? Other real Christian Churches are growing

  and thriving and doing the works of feeding the hungry,

  helping widows and orphans, helping the homeless and

  building up their communities while

  the JW's do nothing at all to help anyone.

  3 Attack on Jehovah’s people- DO NOT get involved in the affairs of this world,its wars or anything, but still WE ARE ORGANIZED and this makes the World Leaders Worried/Angry.

  The World Leaders? The World Leaders do not know you exist,

  or care at all, what silly meaningless repetitious 'activities' you do.

  You underline Watchtower articles ? Sit in meetings that cause

  you to become spiritually dead as a person.

  You hate others and teach hate.

  "Worried/Angry" ? How deluded and arrogant are you in your self importance?

  No one cares what JW's do because as you pointed out,

  you do nothing. You demoted Jesus to an angel ?

  You worship an "organization"

  You sit and refuse to partake of the bread and wine as he commanded ?

  You divide people into "classes" and think eight old men in New York are the

  "sole channel of communication".

  You are obsessed with books and magazines and miss the whole point

  of the words Jesus spoke or anything written in Romans, Acts, John 3:3 ,

  you do not heed the words of Jesus and you worship a man made

  "Organization" like a Golden Calf. The word organization is not in the Bible,

  4 War of Armageddonespecially as #3 begins, you'll have

  to CHOOSE at that time, who you will follow...

  WHO you will follow ? The only one you are suppose to follow is Jesus Christ.

  Acts4: 1-12 ....... the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 11 This Jesus ........

  12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name

  under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.”

  I am in British Columbia. If you were in Oregon, Seattle Washington,

  or Vancouver BC, you would see so much water, rains every week here.

  North West, very wet, lots of lakes and rivers in Canada, lots of rain.

  You must be in Southern California ?

  i've seen more threads and comments in the last week about the "demise of the wt" than in some time.

  several were on threads about the donation arrangement and how its going to backfire in some way on the wt.

  oh and the lone elder who was pissed in some sort of passive-aggresive manner about it when he presented the resolution.

  Sounds very creepy. And a big snoozefest. An Orwellian nightmare.

  Do they bring out a golden calf as well ?
