Ora sono veramenta sveglia.
Benvenuto!
Ma mi chiedo: se sei un vero devoto testimone di Geova cosa fai qui nella compagnia di tanti apostati?
hi all just visiting to give you all a push in the right direction...i'm chris from italy and came across this site by chance and was shocked to see so many apostates that were once witnesses..come on you know that jehovah is our loving god and that your only saying these things to justify your descions to break away from the word of god.babylon the great is has almost fallen!
!then what peace and security and the end will come!for crying out loud there already starting the road map to peace and security!!
i hope with all my hart that the few people that have been influenced by this world have the humility to turn back while ther's still time....peace to you all and sta mi bene.

due to the fact that most of us do not feel that it is scripturally wrong to take blood, if your relative was told that they needed a transfusion and you could see that they get it, even if it's against their wishes, would you force blood into them??
?
If it is my minor child the answer is YES
If it is an adult the answer is NO
mothers day can bring up many issues for some of us.
for some their mothers have passed away and the opportunity to say i love you in person is forever lost.. for others our mothers are lost to the borg.
in fact, we may never have had the opportunity to celebrate a mother's day with them.
My heart goes out to all of you that have lost your moms. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us.
Death is inevitable and I know that one day I may face the pain that you are feeling today.

I love my mom very much.
She is the reason why I am still entangled with the borg. It would break her heart if I stopped going to meetings.
For now I am willing to put up with the wt crap for her sake.
please don't feel unappreciated.
please don't leave.
i, for one, haven't even seen any of your posts except the one minimus started called "are you bitter?
I may be a newbie but I swear I AM NOT A TROLL
these things about the society have been nagging me and i just couldnt keep them in any longer.
basically ive just told my mum everything about the org and what i think of it covering itself, misleading its followers and the issues of child abuse.
basically my dad said its people who have a vendetta against the society and a lot of the stories are made up.
be wise,
I feel your frustration and anger. Been there, done that!
Don't forget many have invested their whole lives in the organization, and its not so easy to see it for what it is.
Just be happy that the scales have come off your eyes and you are no longer in bondage. And pray that one day they might see it too.
Just my two cents worth

there's an article in the new km called "make room for it".
the aricle espouses the benefits of remaining single in order to spend more time in the ministry, serve at bethel, etc.
the title though is more of a demand.
mystery:
You said: JW's slow down? WBTS would lose everything if jw's slowed down.
This is so true. When I finally came off the wt merry-go-round and slowed down, that's when I began to study and think and realized what a load of #@## this organization fed me.

brothers.
sisters.
of recent i have been most interested in those invisible yet world shaking events that altered human history, those taking place in the early part of the 20th century.
dear refiners fire,
I read your research with much interest. It's research such as yours that helps me to see what a pile of #@## we have been feed for so long. Thank you for all your hard work. I really appreciate it.

when i was very young about 12 or 13 my brother [he's mad, not much older] sometimes used to do a cheeky magic trick during the watchtower[god, this was the most boring of them all, i think].
he used to put his hands by his side and miraculously the books on his lap would rise all by themselves [yeah, you guessed it ...morning glory], well it made me laugh my head off.
i bet people could see my shoulders bouncing up and down from the back row.
I'd repeat mentally every word that was being said from the platform. I was a good dub!
These are a few of the things I do now to keep myself sane when I am there:
1) I practice the times table
2) I print out information from this board,then I go over it there
3) I plan my family's weekly menus
4) grocery list
5) read the Bible

comments you will not hear at the 4-13-03 wt study
march 1, 2003, page 8. red highlight indicates quotes from the watchtower.
black and (parentheses) are reviewer statements.. be courageous and strong!.
There was a time when I could not read between the lines of wt articles. Now the hidden messages scream out at me, thanks to you Blondie and others on this board.
This week's article takes the cake. It is so manipulative.
I used to feel that maybe there could be some good in org. But, as the weeks go on and and I continue to educate myself I know this is not the case. This org is a cult. It is EVIL. When will it end?
Thanks again Blondie. Please keep your commentaries coming. I for one really need them.
