  Faders shunned now?

  2. beliefs

  hi all so my family had their c.a.

  last weekend and my mother dropped this one on me, she'll now be treating me as a df'd person per info she received from a talk at the assembly.

  apparently a fader should be treated as "bad association" given the fact they up and left the holy "truth" to splash around in vomit.. .

  Zeitgeist, anyone seen it?

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  so i was watching this on netflix today and had only really heard about the comparisons between jc and horus in religulous.

  it amazed me how incredibly credulous i was as a witness- i would never have watched a video so full of "lies" had i still been in.. or maybe i'm willing to believe anything now..... for those that have seen it- how convinced were you with the comparisons between jesus and the zodiac?.

  Choices...

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  quick little moment of reflection i experienced today:.

  i had a buddy back in high school whose younger brother was an acquaintance of mine, we weren't ever really friends but the times we interacted he was alright.. for all intents and purposes we'll call this guy "smitty.".

  smitty was an all star jw, super zealous on service, mr. go-to for anything spiritual, completely a johnny-on-the-spot in his congregation, and honestly a person i saw a lot of potential in for the future with the "truth" and life in general.. after i graduated high school i lost touch with his brother and about 3 years later heard a story on the news where his name popped up.

  Sticky situations

  by Sammy Jenkis in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was remembering today this situation that i let get out of hand because i was too damaged to let my co-workers and my boss know i was a jw when i was still inside.

  it was hard to explain to people something so foreign and out of this world as being a witness and never before had the difficulty been as hard as when one of our co-workers birthdays came around.. i dreaded the moment because i'd played pretty cool and dodged any questions that might reveal my religious inclinations.. but:.

  my boss came over to my desk and gave me this card to sign, she asked if i'd like to sign it.

  Those moments you'll never get back...

  by Sammy Jenkis in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember being in high school hoping i would make it to see graduation sometimes even praying for it as i could feel the end was near.

  but i graduated leaving behind prospects for school because i knew i needed to work hard in service to prove i deserved the real life.

  i heard a talk at a convention that nearly guaranteed this system would be wrapping up soon and it scalded my mind with assurance that i was not sacrificing for anything.. i remember in the keynote address the speaker said we would only be back for another convention if god wanted.
