i was just a little kid when the 1975 thing came about, didn't pay much attention to it, after it was over, my parents told me it was just some people being over anxious, and being about 8 at the time i believed it, now when you research you find some amazing articles.
what do you remember being told about 1975 as the year got closer ?

i haven't got time to go through the 1,000,000 hits you get when you punch in jehovah on the google search.. so are there other jw sites or xjw sites you like and find helpful ???.
what are they and where are they ???.
rdw,This might be a "No No".

i hope not, this site is a discussion board mainly, i just want more info on history, beliefs, doctrines, magazines, books etc. I hope it's an okay question to ask ?

it's a public board.
i was still a jw.
i came here looking for answers to my questions and doubts.
I agree with you on many points, a lot of the topics and post are really ridiculous, I think people just run out of things and questions to say.
But for me I have looked past that , and searched out information that was valuable to me, to help me with my family (all still JW's), and this board has been a huge Help to me in that sense,
but someone lurking here or just starting, must wonder what the hell is going on here !!!!!!!!
would you attend the funeral/memorial service?
assuming that it would be held in a kh; or even if it wasn't.. this is something that's been on my mind lately; honestly, i'm not sure why.
my parents are both still relatively young; 60 and 61. my dad has been diagnosed with skin cancer but both are otherwise healthy.. i really don't know whether i would; particularly for my father.
oh yes, i have thought about this alot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have decided that when they pass on, which will be soon i guess (in their 70's), I will NOT attend any service at the Kingdom Hall, I do not beleive in it, so why would I go, I will attend the funeral service at the the funeral home, I will go to the grave site, but there is no way I will step foot in the Kingdom Hall. That's just me !
i'm prompted to make a post on this subject following a previous post from stace..... i really think i need to go back to the meetings just one more time, i think it'd be a make or break scenario for me.
i reckon i'll either go back and become full time like i was before, or just slink away thinking "i can't live up to this anymore" i envy both witnesses who are full time, for their faithfulness, and those that have made a clean break, for their honesty to themselves, its sort of not right to be living in some sort of limbo state.. dithering dithering dithering, thats all i've done since i first got here i think, like some fart in a storm, posting fluffy stuff and avoiding the hard stuff.... i hear what some of you say, and it does irritate me as well to be just a hanger-on.
i don't think i'll ever be a hardcore anti-jw no more than i'll make circuit overseer, but well, i guess i need to go some way or the other.. and, well thats it really.
We've had a few run ins in the past, personally I have no idea why you want to go back, ask yourself do you really believe in what there are teaching ???????
You do what is best for you, and no one else,
Time is on our side, I know you will be back here, eventually, and when you do come back, I hope many can learn from your experience, and not do the same mistake.
did you have a best friend at the kingdom hall, what happened to them, do you know where they are today ?

hhhhhmmmmmmmm, not good, hope you will stop in once in awhile to say hello.
when will you be done with this forum?
a year?
will leaving be a sign of moving on?.
I will probaly always be here, truthfully it never ends, i have been pm'd by new ones here asking me questions. It is amazing to see them going through the same things I did 10, 15, 20 years ago.
Hey, I may take a break from here, I've done that, but as long as this board is on the net, I will always stop in, especially when the Watchtower has more f--k ups to come.
