I'm having "doubts".
by kwintestal inwouldn't you consider a "doubt" to be a very weak word for how you felt upon learning what really is going on with the wts?
i was really giving that term a lot of thought the other day, and it really is a term to keep control, because it makes it sound like heck, you're just confused and don't know what's going on.
of course they're not going to say "friends are going online and looking at apostate material and are becomming thoroughly convinced that what we're teaching is wrong.

I remember when I was fully a Dub and they talked about "doubts."
I was FULLY convinced this was the truth.
Maybe it's me, but when it comes to doubts - it's either there or it's not there.
For example...
A lot of time, they (the WT) consider doubts "the sister that pissed you off or the elder that did you wrong."
But to me, the things I know NOW are not doubts... They are real issues that they WON'T address.
The way I tell it... Right now, I cannot CONSCIENCIOUSLY become a JW. I CAN'T go door to door anymore.
Because in doing so - I would feel disloyal to GOD.
I mean, after knowing ALL THAT I LEARNED here and on other sites, I would be a hypocrite at the door.

When You Try To Reason With Someone About The "Truth", What's Your Focus?
by minimus indo you concentrate on the lack of love, the doctrines, the flip-flops, the un debacle, child molestation-----what??
?

Confucious
To me - my reasoning point is this...
What is more important? Loyalty to the Organization or Loyalty to God.
That does help get them thinking.
Well, maybe it doesn't change them, but it gets them thinking that wow... they just might not be one in the same.
The most damming evidenced, to me. Is the Standfasters. -

Bizarre Assembly Seating
by metatron inonce again, brothers try to strangely compensate for reduced attendance by roping.
off sections and compressing everybody into a smaller area.
is this nuts or what?.

This has always been one of my pet peeves.
I've been to ASSemblies where they roped off all sections.
They just don't want to clean. But they also want people packed in like sardines for whatever reason.
Dude's and Dude-ettes...
I am so glad I'm not going to these things.

She told him that he would be dead by the time he was 35.
He's 30 now, but he said that he believed her because she predicted something else bad and it came true.
I guess on the good side, he said that "that's why I always did as much as I could." And I guess that's a good thing.
I was kind of at a loss for words...

Flea,
I've met some good CO's that would come to funerals even though he wasn't part of the circuit anymore.
I also met some Ashole ones that wouldn't pick up the phone after I threatened suicide.

From CNN.com
IVERPOOL, New York (AP) -- A fourth-grader and her mother claim a school district violated the girl's constitutional rights to free speech and equal protection by refusing to allow her to distribute "personal statement" fliers to other students because they carried a religious message.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court against the Liverpool Central School District by Nicole Martin and her daughter, Michaela Bloodgood.
According to the lawsuit, the school district near Syracuse repeatedly denied Martin's requests for Michaela to pass out a homemade "personal statement" flier to other students at Nate Perry Elementary School.
The flier, about the size of a greeting card, starts out: "Hi! My name is Michaela and I would like to tell you about my life and how Jesus Christ gave me a new one." The flier mentions five ways in which Jesus had come into her life.
"This is nothing less than viewpoint discrimination," said Mat Staver, an attorney and executive director of Liberty Counsel, an Orlando, Florida-based conservative legal group that is representing Bloodgood.
According to the lawsuit, Liverpool officials said Michaela could not distribute it because her flier was religious and that there was "a substantial probability" that other parents and students might misunderstand and presume that the district was "endorsing" the religious statements in the flier.
"The idea that people would think the district was endorsing Michaela's statements is simply absurd. Schools do not endorse everything they allow students to distribute," Staver said.
Liverpool Superintendent Jan Matousek said she had not been informed of the lawsuit and therefore could not comment.
The lawsuit noted that Michaela has received literature from other students at school, including literature concerning a YMCA basketball camp, Syracuse Children's Theater promotion of the show "Dragon Slayers" and the Camp Fire USA's summer camps.
Staver said Michaela intended to distribute her flier only during "non-instructional time," such as on the bus before school, lunch, recess and after school.
