  Would some of us be better off as Witnesses?

  by Jerry Bergman in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have often wondered if many people would be better off if they stayed witnesses.

  some people i have known have really gone off the deep end after they left the watchtower.

  most all of my family have left now (not due to me as i was cut off from them for years) and many others i know who have left are now bitter atheists or have become pagans and worship stones or new ageers playing with crystals.

  Jehovah's Witnesses do not teach morality. They legislate morality. If you are not moral you will be punished. So witnesses out of fear of losing friends and family are moral.

  Also, you are assuming tha because the witnesses use a Bible and pray that they are a religion. Nothing could be further from the truth. The watchtower is a publishing company and the rank and file are their book salesmen. The religion part is just a sham to get the salesmen feeling good about their specialness and thus work harder. Nothing more, nothing less.

  Thank you Randy for sharing Anthony's story with us.

  What a history Anthony has. Fifty years in the organization and then When he can no longer stomach their duplicity he leaves. Good for him.

  My Job Interview Today

  by Yizuman in

  2. experiences

  well, it went sorta shaky today i guess.

  this is a temp service job interview and gives job placements for those who match interests between employer and employee.. i told the interviewer that i am deaf and can read lips, but problem was he wasn't making it easy for me.

  his lips moved faster than the tansmania devil that i had to slow him down a good number of times.

  Sorry, Yuziman. I think it might just be jealousy on my part since I have very little hair left.

  I have some patches on my forehead which I tried to cover with my bangs.

  Hi and good luck with that job interview.

  I must say though that I have never heard a man refer to that particular hair style as "bangs". Usually just women call them that. Am I correct? Maybe it's just me.

  Thanks for giving us your insight on Bethel life, Marcos. I enjoyed reading it very much.

  When I was an active Dub I always felt that Bethelites were the paragon of virtue. Not only that, they always got the goodlooking sisters. lol I look forward to hearing more of your experiences.
