Through the years we have camped with families that would bring all their meeting clothes and books. It was as if lighting would strike and kill them if they missed.

Wannaexit is descriptive of the overwhelming sensation i felt when I started to figure things out back in 2002. I wanted to exit so bad. My avatar is describes the sadness I felt when I realized how I had wasted greater portion of my life. By the time I truly understood, I had pioneered for almost 2 decades and was almost childless.

let's review what we've learned from the Jeremiah book so far

by nowwhat? in

ok group, we have learned:.

a. working more to provide for ones family is tantamount to worshipping false gods!.

b. do'nt have children because one day you might have to eat them!.

....and if you are offered a scholarship for a university education at age 15 don't accept it. But become a missionary instead in some remote island, then you can translate some of the society's publications. (page 108 par12)

If you are a parent make sure that your kids do worse than you did. A parent should not say"I want my child to have an easier life". if a parent wishes his child a better life than it would demonstrate that he/she is seeking "great things". (pag 109 par 13)

NEW video on Youtube MUST SEE! the elder's meeting is ridiculous!

by Newly Enlightened in

brother of the hawk, newly enlightened & gojira, recorded an elder's meeting on 5/7/03.

both does a great job of defending me and making the elders look foolish!.

thank you raypublisher/jj and jwstruggle for the awesome job you did on it.. follow up story was not recorded but we will post it here hopefully over the weekend.. enjoy, it's pretty hilarious how they try to control us and come after me on a work of fiction!.

I enjoyed the video very much. The elders are such embecils. They apply Matt 18 when it suits them.

What is the title of the book, id love to purchase it.

Going to the territory you live in - in your area?

by A question in

jw
friends

how emphasized was it to go to the congregation that you lived in the territory of?

how many did so?.

wannaexit

It depends on what station one holds in the pecking order. Elders, pioneers and ministerial servants are often found outside their territory boundaries. Generally these are asked to "jump over to Macedonia" if a neighboring congregation is in greater need.

The rank and file are generally strongly encouraged to stay where they are assigned. If someone chooses to disobey and go to a congregation other than their assigned one, then that person is considered rebellious because theocratic order is put aside. Often priviledges such as carrying mikes, prayer etc. are withheld.

The Experts- Jehovahs Witnesses

i was thinking this weekend of a brother i first met when i was a teenager.. not yet an elder, this brother was very outspoken, and was viewed a kind of hero to the r&f.. an inexperienced teen, i also believed ( influenced by others) that this guy was a godsend.. looking back, with the eyes of a more mature person, i now consider him an arrogant self opinionated bully.. he later became an elder and i might add that he also had an imposing physical appearance .

but he had no education.

no schooling.

wannaexit

Growing up in the borg, I too was brainwashed to think that jehovah's witnesses were always a notch above everybody else. After all we had divine education while everybody else had satan's education. And if one read the awake for 6 months , it was the equivalent of a college education.

in another thread, mouthy said she was "not well" and mentioned "kicking the bucket.

i believe she needs some encouragement and well wishes.. mouthy, you don't need to respond to this thread if you don't feel up to it.

just consider it an exceptionally long get-well card..
