Those who still show up at the meetings, How do you manage?.

by Mr Facts in

for those who still show up at the meetings, how do you manage?.

do you still offer comments and how do you actually muster up the boldness to gave talks and still do all of those craps?..

I stay for family. I stay for my aged parents that have sacrificed their whole lives to this religion and the though of having their children leave the organization would literally kill them. I consider it a willing sacrifice for parents that I love so much.

For Bigmac and any other that is quick to judge- don't. YOU haven't walked in our shoes.

Its tough listening to the drivel- and I use the time for my own personal meditation. Sometimes I read the Bible and other times i manage to read a book on my IPod.

I've wondered too about some that made an impact on me. I remember Maximus and Amazing that really helped me see clearly.

my daughter, ali, is back in the hospital.

probably something wrong with her pacemaker.

she had a cold with a bad cough last week, and a lead may have come loose.

Special day Last talk "No formula"

by MommieTiger in

this weekend at our special assembly day, let gods will take place the final talk was a head shaker.... the bethel speaker was quite entertaining when he joked @ the shortcomings of the elders.

he also made us laugh with the comment "we were told the end of the system is right around the corner, but we've found its been more than that, we've been around the blocks a few times.

" he told the young ones to make the truth their own by researching in the wtbts publication (only).

wow!! i was at one day assembly on the weekend too. I didn't hear anything like that Mommyt. But then again, i am getting pretty good at tuning stuff out.

court case against the wt in belgium.

you may recall that sometime ago i posted an information about it.. jacques lejeunes case, ex jw, who had won an appeal against the adverse second level judgment, will be heard for the last time in front of the mons court on october 18th.. this case is emblematic as it is the first time that the violation of human right against the wt will be heard.. jacques is determined to go to the european court of human rights if this last case will end up in favor of the wt.. whoever wants to join me in attending the trial in support of jacques is welcome.. believe that jacques deserves this support.. the case will be heard on october 18th at 2 p.m. and is planned to last 4 hours.

both jacques and the wt have already presented their memorandum which is available online on my website, but in french only.

all the best to Jacques. I'll be with him in spirit

DC Sunday Drama

by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

let's call it a very ugly version of "joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat" recreated as a musicless "a young life serving god ain't worth living.".

it included a highly fictionalized account of joseph being abused by his brothers for serving god and being loved by jacob.

there was no mention of joseph's dreams that degraded his brothers and father.

everyone was crying and saying what a wonderful gift from Jehovah.

My First DC 'Mentally Out'

by breakfast of champions in

as the title indicates, the 2011 summer convention was my first one 'mentally out', and wow!

how can anyone stand this stuff?

demons, demons everywhere: yes, evidently after jesus kicked satan and his big hornets nest full of demons down to earth in 1914, they're all mean and nasty and just around every corner!

I got to admit that this DC was really the most disturbing of them all.

Needed Organizational Changes for WT

by Kosonen in

i am concerned about the spiritual welfare of the jehovah's witnesses.

surely we all have noticed an unhealthy development in their leaders attitude, the "governing body".

they have more and more begun to emphasize their importance and their power, in the literature and talks and thereby drawing unnecessary much attention to themselves.
