Why do I cringe? Why am I still so bitter?
by oompa inmade my own personal statement by skipping the memorial, and then went to the next regular ol sunday meeting with my wife.
i tried hard not to pay attention, but still went nuts when the wt said things clearly not in the bible (which i don't even believe anymore!).
so why does this still bother me?

April Awake....signs occur "all one time period"...what is it???
by oompa injust read in the april 2008 awake on page 5 under "what is the sign" : "the events that jesus mentioned--wars, earthquakes pestilences, food shortages---would not be new in themselves.
they have been happening since early in human history.
the difference would be that they would all occur in one time period.

VERY BAD NEWS...my son is going to Bethel............
by oompa ini can not describe the sadness of hearing him tell me, i asked him to think about what a great part time job he has, with free schooling.
he says they will probably take him back.
his abilities are suitable for closing down brooklyn, so at least he will be there (i love nyc).

Do you believe history repeats itself? What does that mean for JW's?
by oompa inwhy is my jw faith so vacant?
it could have to do with the fact that wt's official position on the bible is that is has been altered over time, and they have done their best to "restore" it the way they think it must have been, despite have zero manuscript evidence to do so.
but this only got me studying more in depth the history of jw teachings, and caused me lose faith in the bible.. what can you conclude if a religion has made literally hundreds of changes to its teachings in just over 100 years?
