i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.
once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.
Would I ever go back to the cult?
I believe I have made it quite clear my standing with that evil religion, but, just for the sake of repetition for emphasis -
NO, never. And even that would be too soon.
And as for the simple act of entering a kingdom hall - I wrote a letter to the local clowns years ago stating that I would need to be either dead or in a coma in order for me to pass through those doors.
Cheeses. An avowed enemy of the watchtower and it's followers.

No need to fear - but cheeses has returned. Overflowing with love.
i've applied to be reinstatement in a new city after attending meetings for a bit.
i wrote my letter and they heard my case.
they were very helpful.
This topic merely reinforces the notion that stupidity has no bounds.
Cheeses
according to both christian and jewish eschatology, the messiah will come to jerusalem, where he will deliver the jews from hostile nations "round about.
"since the jehovah's witnesses and other adventists don't believe his coming will be literally fulfilled, but figuratively fulfilled, they simply believe he will return to the earth, where he will slay the wicked and the righteous will be caught up to meet him in the air.. first we have a christian declaration:.
and when [jesus] had spoken these things, while [the apostles] beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Let's just hope it's not on the carpet.
Cheeses the reverential one.
want to know how a lie can turn into a compliment?
only in the jw mindset!!!.
we got called into the dreaded back room after meeting to find two elders wanting to discuss a 'serious' matter with us.
Every now and again a post like this comes along, and it begs to ask two questions -
Why did you allow this to happen?
And, What would prompt someone to want to tell others about it?
The answer, as always -
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES
Cheeses. Wondering what the fuck!
bible describes atheism as a condition of the heart and is all about seeking what is ephemeral, not acting with insight.
(psalm 14:1, 2) thus it rightly says the whole world is lying in the attraction of what is ephemeral.
(wicked one is not a correct translation.1 john 5:19) thus even believers who pray to god (for material blessings) are actually atheists as they are not trying to be poor in spirit.
I don't consider the world to be 'full' of atheists, but there is certainly an over abundance of dolts, dullards, imbeciles, morons, and outright fuckin' idiots to be found. Whether the OP fits such a description remains up to the discretion of the reader. Me thinks so.
Cheeses. aka the Prints of Piece.
how is the org really run?
what goes on behind the scenes?.
i just read an older post on this site that was recently bumped (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/6600/1/don-adams-biography) the post mentioned the adams brothers don, karl, & joel and how influential they are/were at headquarters.
There are obviously some unusual rituals that would happen at gb get togethers, and somehow I feel that a masturbation circle would be part of it.
Cheeses - who sometimes mocks the brothers.
robert j ingersoll on the great voltaire:.
"it has been claimed by the christian critics that voltaire was irreverent; that he examined sacred things without solemnity; that he refused to remove his shoes in the presence of the burning bush; that he smiled at the geology of moses, the astronomical ideas of joshua, and that the biography of jonah filled him with laughter.
they say that these stories, these sacred impossibilities, these inspired falsehoods, should be read and studied with a believing mind in humbleness of spirit; that they should be examined prayerfully, asking god at the same time to give us strength to triumph over the conclusions of our reason.
The wts by its very existence proves that it is ripe for the picking as far as ridiculing is concerned. Its followers, beliefs and practises are all absurd, and if it weren't for the fact that they are so dangerous and destructive, their lifestyle would make for a great Monty Python script.
Cheeses - not always the reverent one.
for me, that happy day was in morro bay, calif. it was the fall, oct 1958 or 9. gorgeous weather.
the sun was shining and the wind was coming off of the ocean.. at that time, morro bay was unassigned territory.. talesin on another thread was talking about a lovely day she had, going with her grandfather, talking with a mr languages.
lol.
Without bothering to read any of the other posts, as I do not consider any day could be counted as 'good' (refer to the meaning of nice) out in so called field service, but, if I had one in memory, it would be the day in November 1988 when witnessing around my local town, and I said to myself "This is the last time I am doing this shit". And that was it. No more. A pleasant day indeed.
Cheeses. No fond memories of the cult - it was all fucked up from the word go.
