Do you ever feel like "I heard it all before...."

.......like when you were a jw, or on this forum?......again again and again...............same ol' repetitive stuff just rehashed again and again?

Buster

No question, Scoob. Hashing, re-hashing is a mainstay here. Of course it is at least partly due to the participants - many are new, and this is the first time they have taken the perspective to look at these issues. Many have been around here for a while, many out of the truth for a long time. For us, it is nice to encourage.

Also, sometimes, a new topic pops up. And this a good place to get the inside view from some that still attend and get the literature (thanks, Blondie)

Oh yeah, one more thing: When I was growing up I was resposnible for bringing a couple other kids into the 'truth' - one may still be in. I would like to make up for that.

i was informed the following incident actually took place: .

two elders were having a conversation at the front of the kingdom hall when a little girl walked up behind one and then came around to his front and looked up at his face.

she then went back behind him and looked at the back of his head, before coming round again to look back up at his face.

Glen, I've used that quote at least a dozen times times since I first heard you say it - brilliant.

thrown for a loop by Elder

by integ in

'just when i'm about to get out, they keep pulling me back in"- godfather 3.. this quote does'nt truly apply to me, but just when i am convinced there are absolutely no redeemable qualities about the borg this really nice elder comes up to me and very calmly tells me how much i am loved and missed at the meetings, to not feel any pressure, and that jehovah will always be there for me, and that he (the elder) would too.

he had a very calm, serene, quality about him.

came off as truly "spiritual".

Hey, we love ya too. Its just that we expect you to be respoinsible and think on your own. You decide.

You Don't Need to Know

by onacruse in

without doubt these angels are delegated by the lord to convey his instructions to the members of his organization on earth.

just how this is done is not necessary for us to understand.

i probably should have posted this under the "jokes" forum.. craig

Buster

I sit here trying to remind myself of how I would have felt if I were still in. How would I react to those WT quotes if I were a good little dubbie? I don't know at whom to be more shocked: the pompous delusionals that foist that crap, or myself for accepting it.

Ok if no one knows, let me toss in a guess: "Tank" with James Garner - because they were in a tank.

You might think that I need help that I have been brain washed.

this was in my e-mail this morning.

******the reason why you left the truth, the truth and not the "truth" like you people believe, is because you have no humility and no love.

when people like you commit something wrong and get disfellowship you can't say to yourself "i was wrong, i messed up, me and only me," you can't say that because is much easier to go around blaming others for your own mistakes.

Buster

Its amazing to see a person clinging to ignorance as though it were the highest virtue. They think they invented that sentiment. From an assembly sometime around 1979 or 1980, I remember that they had the nerve to say (and I don't remember the exact words) what a priviledge it is to be wrong with Jehovah than right without him.
