  There were some good things about the organisation...

  i have read a number of experiences in this discussion forum and quite frankly, i would have to agree that many, if not all, were pretty terrible experiences if not all together traumatic.

  i know that my personal 9-11 tragedy resulted in finding out that the watchtower society was involved with the united nations.

  that pretty much said it all as far as my "career" in the organisation was concerned.

  Intro/Is it ok for me to be here?

  is it ok for me to be part of your 'gang'?

  you see i'm not a jw and never have been and a bit of of me feels like i'm gatecrashing.. i was raised in a strong roman catholic family - i was expected to believe everything the church taught without question and i did.

  when i left school, i found myself working with an evangelical christian who, because she questioned my beliefs slowly made me look into them for myself - i truly hated her at the time for doing that and admit that i made her life a misery in revenge - but eventually i began to see that some of the stuff she was saying was right, we became very good friends and my real journey out of the rc church began.. i was too scared to leave straight away because of the doctrines i'd grown up with - no salvation outside the church and you can only really communicate with god through the priest (big issue here was how do i get my sins forgiven cos if i don't i'm gonna go to hell) - it was another 10 years before i finally plucked up the courage to leave and this was because of two things that happened:.

  Panda, I've heard Joyce can be enjoyed on many levels. One sentence at a time is probably a good way to tackle his work! Huxley

  C, The Iliad has been on my list for a while. Never actually thought about reading Gulliver's Travels. Probably a good read though... Huxley

  carey barber, born july 4th 1905 has almost made his century.

  fred franz came close at 99 years old, and he died around 1992.. so what does bro barr get for his 100th birthday?

  forget it - to him, turning 100 is "just another day.

  I bought a computer printer from him when I was in Bethel. The price was very reasonable. (Unlike GB policy). He was quite pleasant. Best Birthday wishes. Huxley

  i have been a regular visitor to this forum for the past 2 years or so, finally i got the courage to register.. you guys are an inspiration , your stories and experiences have helped me to take a stand against this controlling org.. in short, i was raised from birth as a jw, parents are from the old school very much hard liners, the society is their god.

  is expected of you, get baptised as a teenager become a ms then elder.

  i always had my doubts about the society and its teachings but was.

  I remember a young sister who wrote a poem about catching some lucky brother's eye from across the aisle at a District Convention. She read it out loud at a witness gathering. I felt really bad trying not to laugh, but it was awful.
