waking up from jw-land is an extremely exhausting process.
about 3 years ago, i attended a month-long institute for grad school students.
during this time, i was surrounded by people from all over the united states and had active, deep conversations with so many about personal topics, such as religion and divorce.

I feel for you deeply. I felt so lost and depressed when ttatt hit me. Time is the GREAT healer so please hang in there. No one should have to feel so depressed and alone as you do right now. The GOOD NEWS is that your depression will pass! It will pass! It takes some time but, IT WILL PASS! Many of us have been where you are right now. It will pass. Stay in touch! I love you too.

i nearly dropped my coffee on the floor!
this ain't some goofy conspiracy site.. let the scots vote themselves independence and finish off "anglo-america".. .
I still can't get over how we bought the bs about how 7 conventions during the 1920's were the fulfilment of the 7 trumpet blasts of Revelation! Holy sh*t. How braain dead can a person be?

they announced last week that the new atanta assembly hall has thus far raised 3.4 million dollars.
my local told that will become the society's come may 1. i wonder how that will go over with the ones who have been contributing to this fund..
About my previous post. Sorry for the vent! Money means very little to me anymore since I'm getting older and wiser. Atlanta brothers and sisters, I aplologize. I love Atlanta. Take comfort that your money will provide the gb with nice new. luxury accomodations in warwick.

Screw the fools that thought they were investing money into a new ass-sembly hall for themselves to enjoy down in Atlanta. Air conditioning, comfortable seating, state-of-the-art-sound-system. Too bad! How about all their fellow witnesses that invested, not only a lot of money, but a LIFE TIME into the wtbts only to realize that they also were fooled! One can re-earn money but life spent is--well, another story.

i always wondered why jws found it so hard to just walk away once they decided they didn't believe anymore.
surely all they have to do is stop going to the meetings, i thought.
i imagined there must be more to it than i could see but i might never know.

You guys or gals have it nailed. i'm very committed to my marriage and family. Nothing is more important to me. Unfortunately, I did a great job of bringing up my family "in the disipline and authorative advice of J" (the organization) when I had no knowledge of ttatt. That is the irony. Now I have no idea of how to reverse the effect of my 'doing a great job'. Time will tell!

"ladies and gentleman of the jury.. my client is accused of a serious crime, the crime of letting his 160 pounds pitpull terrier 'muppy' maul the neighbours two kid to death for calling his good friend bob fat.. ladies and gentlemen we must put aside our emotions and consider all relevant information in the complicated ethical situation my client found himself in that fatefull afternoon when he let loose 'muppy' on those kids and watched her gulp down their bloodied remains.. in particular there are two very important and indisputable facts to which i wish to direct your attention.
the first is the neighbours kids was teenagers, age 15 and 17, and as such should understand the clear and obvious moral relationship between calling someone fat and letting your pitbull terrier eat someone alive.
there is no, despite what some may think, moral equivalency between these two acts.
I've often wondered (even as a young person which I once was, I wondered) if these 42 'young lads' were physically disabled or mentally disabled! How is it that only 2 bears could overtake and kill 42 'young lads' and none of them escape. Very fast ninja bears? Very slow running 'young lads'? Suicidal "young lads'? Did big j temporarily paralyze the 42 'young lads'? It's ludricrous that 2 bears could uncontestedly conquer 42 healthy 'young lads'!

what if you were a member of the gb and you woke up and realized it's all bs.
what would you do?
i would try to change the org from within..
If I had no family 'in' (like many of the gb) I'd get up at one of the Wednesday morning gb meetings and tell them ttatt. I'd explain that big j gave me the courage to explain this to them. (If big j gave it to me then they may be inclined to listen) Then I'd ask them if there was anything I could possibly say or do to convince them that the borg is literally and spiritually killing many very good people. I'd tell them that I love them as individuals, friends, and brothers but hate the fact that they are deluded with themselves.
This is exactly what I'd do to an elder body if my family was not 'in'.

the doctor used cadaver bone to fix my spine.
i understand that makes me a cannibal in watchtower land.. .
"it's feeding.
If organ transplants and blood transfusions are in reality 'feeding', why don't they give persons suffering from malnutrition a blood transfusion?

does anyone know of a wt or wt book, that states abraham will be tested again and then judged based on his deeds during the millenium?.
essentiallly claiming that, after god testing abraham, with the sacrifice of isaac, he will tell him that he has to pass the same test that the resurrcted unrighteous have to pass.
i know that this is a teaching that is required by holding to the 2 class belief, but i haven't found any artocles on it.. any ideas?.
Obviously you do not recall that Abraham, David, and Moses, those 'ancient worthies', were resurrected back in 1925 an stayed with the 'original' fds/gb member, Rutherford down in San Diego. Isn't that why the the mini mansion was built in San Diego?
Come on guys. You need to keep up with that fast moving chariot!

so i used to think that all witnesses believed the same exact thing but i have heard some claims that they believe things i'm not familiar with.
do you know if it's true?
The ever changing beliefs of jw's are like the old jewish joke. "What do you get when you have 10 jewish men in a room? 11 different opinoins!
