When You Were Devout, What Was The Most..

by Englishman in

jw
friends

when you were a devout witness, what were the teachings that you couldnt accept, even though you believed most of the rest?.

heres mine:.

1. we know the bible is true, it proves itself true.

YYHWH

I started having doubts at a very young age but of course I dare not speak about them. Mine were pretty basic.

(1)The birthday thing,I think what we should have learned from the
birthdays in the Bible is real simple (you dont kill on your
birthday.)

(2)Then I had questions concerning the blood issue. Give me a break
there is no way to get all of the blood out of meat. My Dad was a
deer hunter and I knew for a fact when he cleaned his kill all the
blood was not gone.

(3)I almost forgot to mention that I could not understand why JWS
could not sit on a jury but elders could be judges when it came to
judicial matters.

(4)I wanted to have my hair a little longer and was told it was
following the fads of the world and that was not good. However when
ever three piece suits were trendy and all movie stars and the like
wore them,it seemed like every brother had one.

(5)My worst pet pea would be the harsh treatment of disfellowshipped
poor lost souls.

That is a few of my first doubts as a young man. I am now 41 and of course have countless more.

What Is Your Hope Now???

my hope for over 30 years was the same as many here on this site.

when i made my decesion to no longer me a jw at first i just figured that i was a goat and that i would just die at armageddon along with all the other wicked ones.

well after doing some research on the dubs and on religion in general i have come to some differnt conclusions about life,death and what might happen when you die.. i have to be honest and tell you that it has been difficult to accept the fact that any hope of any sort of life after death is very unfounded.. i have come to believe that religion is for people who cannot accept the only certainty we have in this life is that you are going to die.. my hope is that i can live this life and be able to raise my children up to be responsible and productive adults.

I have to be honest and tell you that it has been difficult to accept the fact that any hope of any sort of life after death is very unfounded.

I have come to believe that religion is for people who cannot accept the only certainty we have in this life is that you are going to die.

My hope is that I can live this life and be able to raise my children up to be responsible and productive adults. I hope to be able to enjoy life to the fullest without the chains of religion and guilt to rule my every move.

I hope to live long enough to attend my childrens weddings as well as be there when they have there first children.

I hope to be able to lovingly steer my wife away from the dubs so we can be closer and she want always be worring about me losing my life in the end.

I hope to get more involved in causes that count.

Last but not least I hope that if there is something that happens to us at death that it is a wonderfull and enlighting experience.

Devils Advocate-A Question for X-JW's

by apostate man in

jw
friends

ok, i am going to play devils advocate and ask the question: are the jw's correct about anything?

surely there has to be something that is commonly agreed upon to be correct.

i am not talking about what current jw's say, i am not talking about simple things like: read the bible, or be a witness.

YYHWH

They do have one thing that I felt was somewhat unique. They do display a lot of love among themself. Now do not be mistaken, that love is very very conditional. As long as you are doing what is deemed as the most you can do in the organization, if you ever have a crises in your life you can bet your bottom doller there will be more help there for you then you can imagine.

Of course they take the scripture about loving your neighbor to mean your brothers and sisters.

If you are not one of them you can forget about any real love being shown to you.

After all have you ever seen any JW Soup Kitchens. NA. How about any Battered Women Shelters? NA again.

So I guess the scripture about taking care of widows and orphans only apply if they are dubs.

And the parrable about the Good Samartian also only applys if they are Dubs.

Yes it is a very conditional love that does not cross many borders.

What's your dream job?

by butalbee in

jw
friends

i really hate my job, and want to resign.

would really love to persue my dream job as a professional loafer, but i wonder how much it would pay?

but seriously, though i always wanted to write novels, be creative and artistic.

YYHWH

I had a really suck job when I first got married in 1983, I worked for a freight company unloading trucks from 2:00 am in the morning till 12:00 noon Mon-Fri. At the time I was content with it because the pay was $12.76 per hour plus overtime, that was pretty good money back then. Well as things progressed the company I worked for decided to lay off about 15 employees and I was one of them.

I was pretty upset because I had just purchased a new home along with some other things. Then one Sunday I was looking through the help wanted ads and read a ad that talked about working 4 to 5 hours a day,working at your on pace and your own schedule and being able to make very good money along with a great benefits package.

To make a long story short I have been doing that job for almost 16 years now.
I guess your wondering what it is I do! I sell cable tv door to door. I actually only work no more then about 3 to 4 hours a day on the weekdays and usually take one day off weekly and I put in about 10 hours every Saturday and can usually do 65 % plus of my pay on that Saturday. I only have to report to the office twice a week for about a total of 30 minutes.
The pay is very lucrative if you get really good at it you can easily pull in 65,000.00 to possibly 100,00.00 plus.

If this sounds good to you all you need to do is find out if your local Cable Company has an outdoor sales force and try to get on.

It may not be a dream job per say but I do have a lot of free time to do things I like, I do not need an alarm clock because I work when I want to work,I take off when I want to take off. As long as I have my sales I can more or less do as I please.

A Song About Moving On.

by YYHWH in

jw
friends

im movin on .

YYHWH

Rascal Flats (Rascal Flats)
Im Movin On

I’m Movin’ On

Ive dealt with my ghosts and faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I’ve found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I’m at peace with myself
I’ve been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I’m movin’ on

I’ve lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they’re always the same
They mean no harm but it’s time that I face it
They’ll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don’t belong
I’m movin’ on

I’m movin’ on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there’s no guarentee’s, but I’m not alone
There comes a time in everyone’s life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn’t
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I’ve loved like I should but lived like
I shouldn’t
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I’m movin’ on

I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on

This song sort of makes me think about how it feels when you leave the organization and are more or less on your own.

Hope you liked it. The video can be seen on either CMT or GAC cable channels.

how long were you a witness?.

were you raised in it?.

did you ever study with and have someone become a witness?.

YYHWH

How long were you a witness?

Were you raised in it?

Did you ever study with and have someone become a witness?

The reason I am asking these questions is that I was a witness for about 25 years and never was able to bring anyone into the non-truth.

I really believe the societys numbers regardig growth are only a result of parents brainwashing there kids into dedicating there souls to the non-truth.

Thanks in advance for your replys.
