i saw a witness by his stand and started a conversation which i kept short . Stating with disfellowshipping...he said " the only reason you get disfellowshipped is for non repentence" i said "thats legal talk" ...he said witnesses dont " ..... ...... ....... ...... and we dont gamble" i said " you do gamble and you are gambling with your life" ....in less than 5 minutes, i felt in those two points enough. Took less than 5 minutes.

My 45 Minute Conversation With JWs Today
by cofty inas i was saying before the watchtower literature trolley has arrived in my little town.... my wife and i were in town this afternoon and i saw one of my former elder colleagues standing beside the trolley talking to a young man and reading to him from one of their books.
ray was one my least favourite people - he was everything that is bad about jw elders.
i went up to them and interrupted and told the man that this is a cult recruitment campaign.

Thanks Sparrow and Laika.
I am familliar with " the Heroes" of this site. I am also not intersting in reading watchtower exposure. The posters i am intersted in are more autobiographal..i mentiond " PROCESSOR" because he was hurt by the watchtower but his posts showed a personality that kept his humor intact.
I remember a poster named TIMOTHY whose posts reflected his sexuality and personality...these posts had heart and soul that were more humun than why the watchtower is a bogus scam.
Oomph was another..sadly he committed suicide.
I started this post as i was reading a book " WE ARE WITNESSES" five diarys of teenagers who died in the Holocaust, and i realised in the shuufle of posters on this site are " Personal Testinonies" on a humun level to the damage the watchtower has done on individuals. They are the posters i would like to read and hope others will enjoy reading also.
Suggestions please.

Is this new donation arrangement for real?
by nugget injust read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.
congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.
congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

This morning i saw a sister today who works in the libary. When we meet its usually just a hello, but i gave her the overlapping generation news...this morning i mentiond the new donation arrangement. I wish i had the ability to put in to words the open and friendly way she pretended to listernd to the matter of fact news.
I think its great having " new light" to share, and those that shun as i experienced yesterday, i realize its not petsonal and we all have our faults.

in my life i have found free love....its great for the ego when people fall in love with you and you were unaware. That happened a lot with me as a kid and helped with my self esteem. Now i am older i find i get more beer than free-love. But as for free will i have concluded it doesnt exist.

John- Mann: I oftern found my dreams were based on my state of mind before sleep.
To my understanding we spent most of our sleep dreaming dreams we dont remember when we awake.
Maybe i have freewill in my dreams.

updating...people are forming " guilt" or " innocent" opinions before the prosection has deliverd its message.
I think this is so wrong....its like reality T.V....but isnt it just cheap entertainment?
