  Yes leave Jehovah out of it, He did nothing to protect the boy over 3 years. Great he called the cops but a boot up the rear wouldn't hurt. Lewis asked, "can you forgive me"? Hell no, maybe Jehovah will but I will be waiting for you when you get out of jail.

  Ridiculous ways you kept your "time going" in service?

  i used to go out early mornings with 2 pioneer elders, we would drive 20 miles out of the territory (a big no-no) to look for hikers to preach to lol of course there were never any hikers.

  then off to starbucks for another hour lol easy way to count 2-4 hours.

  i am chuckling as i write this, what a joke!.

  It's been so long but how much time did you accumulate each month when talking to unbelieving family members, co-workers, and neighbors, how was that classified? I accumulated a lot of hours talking with co-workers and as I recall just to mention the name Jehovah you could count that time. My old friends before becoming a JW told me, "it was Jehovah this and Jehovah that, every word out of your mouth". So I'am wondering why did I go out knocking on doors, I got my hours easily each month.

  would i?

  i wouldn't mind if he slept through eternity (he sleeps most of the time anyway).

  i'd just like to be able to move him around occasionally.

  Nice cat. Lets see if you can have your cat in paradise, your cat does he or she have a mysterious air about it, it may be linked to the occult. If so, your furry friend will go up in smoke like the rest of us, with Jehovah a sin is a sin be it man or beast.

  After tha ark reached it's destination, David "I need volunteers to remove the ark from the cart".

  Hell no, didn't you see what happen to our brother Uzzah, we will stand over there and your sorry ass unload it.

  We will not touch it with a ten foot pole.

  TheFadingAbatros:"Whoever dares to make the move to challenge their authority" yes also if so-called authority is wrong the RF is the blame. "We didn't say the end would come in 1975.like Uzzah you folks ran ahead".

  "The ark was supposed to be carried on poles...", poor Uzzah was a sacrificial lamb. Before Uzzah reached his hand toward the ark Israel was already sinning before God. But anyway I like Spielberg fictional story "Raiders of the Lost Ark" it was more entertaining than the fictional tale in the Bible.

  I always wonder what would have happen if Uzzah didn't reach out and take hold of the Ark. Lets suppose he let the Ark fall and the little golden Cherubs wings came off, the acacia wood splits apart and the contents spill all over the ground. I believe he was in a situation where he was damned if he did or damned if he didn't. It's a human reaction when you see something falling to reach for it, the same with an elder qualification.

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i grew up doing both.

  while i was in the org, i didn't hear too much about fishing, but all of the co's frowned upon hunting.

  their stance was jw's should not own a gun.

  Chook: I like that "WT hunts apostates and fishes for gullible Christians". What book of the Bible can I find that, it needs to be in JW's Bible. That's a good one..

  I believe fishing is ok , no one ever lost their head while fishing. Now if Jesus had stated he was a hunter of men instead of "I will make you fishers of men", things may have been different. But I do remember they came down hard on hunting in the mid 80's......

  when you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.

  for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.

  i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.

  Lets be honest folks, how did you really feel when you celebrated Xmas for the first time, walked into a church, celebrated your birthday, or Halloween. Come on, didn't you think the demons would bite you in the ass.. I broke out in a cold sweat when I entered the Church...
