My brother bonefide, It's fun pushing the button a little, but be careful...to the the average dub this smells a little apostacy
wanna (of the "tried that a few times and got in hot water with the smelders class)
what was i thinking my entire life?
during the first part about submission, everyone gave the same comments about being obedient to the elders even though you may not agree with them.
and they talked about submission to the organization no matter what.. no one, i mean no one raised the possibility that the counsel or instructions might be wrong, or harmful.

i went today because i wanted to hear the comments on this wt article.. it did not disappoint.
one comment that summed things up:.
"i know i can trust the slave because everything i have ever read from the slave has been for my benefit.
GAAAWd, it was hard to gag the rag study today. I felt a little vomit coming up my mouth several times. I tried very hard to tune out.
it's amazing how the congregation i was in promoted passive-aggressive behavior.
whenever you saw someone behaving inappropriately, you were supposed to run to the elders to tattle.
in some cases these were things that were none of our business or should have been handled privately.. there was a pioneertm who was having personal problems of some sort.
An elder member of my family was assigned by his body to council a sister on her hairy legs. I guess she shaved once or twice but then went back to her old hary self.

I was going to translate it tonight but decided to check my other favourite site Beacon for former Jw and there is a discussion and summary of the youtube clip. No translation needed as the summary is quite adequate.

this morning, my grandmother died at age 92. she was a jw and i never told her that i quit years ago (but i guess my father told her).
fortunately, i had a chance to see her a last time this tuesday when i tried to see her and learnt she was in hospital.
my father had not told me that she was in hospital.
sorry for your loss xx

If someone doesn't translate in the next day or two, I will give a crack at it when I have more time on the weekend
I like the governing boobs
which ones do you recommend?
which ones that you do not recommend?
many thanks!
I've tried all kinds but I always come back to TIDE
i came on jwd a year ago tomorrow, having realized that jws were not the truth, quite painfully, on march 29, 2008. i was here within a week, and within 2 months i was officially dad by my congregation.. ever since joining, i have never actually wrote down a comprehensive look at why i left the organization.
what doubts caused me to leave?
why did a gilead grad leave what i once considered so precious?.
I enjoyed you story. Thanks for sharing it with us. YOu mention about all the doubts you had and tucked all away. I think that many many Jw have similar doubts but somehow put them aside hoping that at some point these will be cleared up.
I can remember discussing and disagreeing with things the society would write with my pioneer partner, but then we would say "oh well, Jehovah will straighten things out".
For some people those doubts eventually will help them see the light. They did for me. My pioneer partner is still tucking them away.
