Well by leaving we committed a violation of soverinty against the W.T government. We are therefore guilty of TREASON and from the inside that by definition makes us " bad/ evil/ immorai" . But as we are now on the outside looking in, we see things with a different point of view.

Are we all actually "bad / evil / immoral" after leaving the faith?
by stuckinarut2 inso recently there have been several posts with references to talks and articles that imply the following:.
most of those who learn ttatt or fade from the "truth", are actually practicers of bad things, eg immorality, hence that is why 'we' now find fault with the org?.
i find this so offensive that they imply such.

I have always thought of a Birthday as not so much a special day to celebrate, but the celebration of having lived another 365days. But then the older you get the more you appreciate the years you have lived, as opposed to the age you actually are.

its nice to read about a man speaking so positivly about his wife. That shows real masculinity and with that attitude there can only be one winner, and thats not the W.T.

Idol Worship
by cultBgone inwe couldn't celebrate birthdays because that was self-idolatry.
young boys couldn't have posters of sports stars because that was idolatry.
young girls couldn't have posters of their favorite rock band, same reason.. however, as "pioneers" we were told to memorize the names of the governing body members and the names of the wts presidents.

Its control.
Funny isnt it how many talented people we " idol worship" can take it or leave it. They have there " Art" be it in sports, music, acting, or science...it must be nice to love your " Art" without modesty and ego.

Why not buy exspensive wines?. A very exspensive bottle of wine and one glass a day would last five days. Now that sounds a good way to get aqauainted with quality wines...and cheese.

but its important to remember the people we used to be, because we are the same person just seeing things differently.
I wounder if the old me would have liked the new me now i see things differently? Anyway the new me still likes the old me just not enough to go back and be the old me.
Actually i really havnt changed that much, and i guess the past will always live within me, and in some curiouse way be apart of the new me.
Hope the above made sence?

Well it was a great season and we were 1 goal up with 14 minutes left. ( if we won the possibility of the playofs) WE LOST 2:1...and as the players left the field in tears ( with there ridiculouse wages guaranteed) they never even acknowledged the supporters. Kind of think it was more loving in the K.H -:)
