LOL. Notice how Stand For Pure Worship didn't go into any relative detail about this unconsciousness of spiritual obligation.
He's really starting to soften up in his posts.

A publisher of the good news is someone who distributes literature for the WatchTower Corporation. In essence, it has nothing to do with printing books.

Haha. I don't think the witnesses have really saved anyone because they are false, Dis-Member.
By the way, amazing occurance relating rarity of a man's scarce gore.

Qcmbr, sorry for reading like a troll but when I write posts, I write it like I'm writing a paper for school. I look up words in the dictionary and stay very careful in expressing my feelings, which is not something I'm good at in real life. Thanks everyone for your advice. I guess I was overreacting the situation. Being a stressful and untidy person is no easy come by. Didn't mean to waste everyones time.

But there is something that creeped me out a bit at my last meeting, particularly the Ministry School. I'm trying my best to act like I enjoy the meetings and I suppose I'm succeeding in that. I'm also naturally respectful so there is no problem speaking to folks. Now, walking inside, I guess my suit jacket was very loose on the button threads. So one button fell as I was finding my seat. But I didn't know it had fallen so after the forsaken meeting, I opened the door to the rear library to try to find them. What do you know? Benoist to me, the elders were there just talking casually, which was weird hearing them talking just like any other group of males. At that moment, the way they were talking made it evident that it wasn't at all about Jehovah or anything related to the organization and congragation. Unfortunately, I still asked them if I could look for something. All five men looked at me like I was really annoying them. And almost immediately one said furiously, "No, you can not! Not while we're having a meeting." They all had the biggest tempered stare on me. After that I apologized and closed the door stunned. I figured just wouncing in on them may have been negligent and stupid on my part but I in no way expected such an aggresive reaction like that, especially from the elders. I mean, they did not even ask me what I was looking for.
Being a minor, it really scared me because even though I know the Witnesses are false, they still seemed very nice people. Now I'm terrified to go back to the Kingdom Hall because of that encounter of people who always were so pleasant but showed me another side to themselves. Or maybe I'm worried about nothing and they just had a bad day, but that can't be because they all appeared to be happy giving their talks and greeting everyone that day. Or am I just overthinking this? It just seems that the more I learn about the formerly called Russelites, the more horrific the organization stands with me.

The Jehovah's Witness religion has gone for good !!!
by snare&racket ini am not sure how you all feel as we all left at different times for different reasons.... but this new bible seems to have put some final nails into a coffin that was once my jw life.
the religion is so far and so different to the religion i grew up in that it has become something i feel no affiliation with anymore, no bond, no shared ideas or even sentimental views.
different teachings on when the end is coming.

So making Jehovah happy is dedicating your life to an organization (not Jehovah). That is just pure evil.

It all just feels fake and not even like a religion.

I appreaciate all your advice and thank everyone for being so kind and understanding. The Steven Hassan book seems very interesting and informational. Will be looking to see how I can get that book with my mater on my throat. I agree with Sammy Jenkins and Watchtower-Free about not trying to talk to her about how the church she adores and believes as truth is very deceiving and manipulative. Another reason I comply is because I already tried to tell her that I just don't feel it is the right religion when she furiously asked me why I'm omit to WatchTower baptism. She kept saying how 'God's Organization is the one true religion'. I realize how unreasonable she's been and I'll try my best to not make any snud comments of Witnesses towards her. But seriously, she acts like I killed someone. It makes me kind of sad that I cannot start any conversation with my mother, the being that made me. Everytime I approach her, she looks at me awkward and a little terrified and then utters a fast response stating yes or no. This is how a conversation goes now when I ask her just about anything, she says, "No", then raises her voice with anger, "Why are you even asking me this?!". It's gotten so out of hand that she makes me ride the bus 6 miles to school now. Then, at the meetings, she makes it seem like everything is fine with her fake smile. I'm seriously thinking about just going on ahead and getting baptized despite knowing that the sect is almost completely corrupt...
