If given the choice....
by NEWWORLDSLACKER inif you were given the choice to either be an expert in one specific area and not pursue anything else....or be able to do quite a few different things pretty well but excel in none what would you choose?
this is a question im trying to come to terms with at the moment.
i find joy in a great many activities..... i take care of my family of four meanwhile -im an artist( mostly painting and sculpting)-hot rod and custom bike mechanic/machinist- i write music-am a carpenter for hire- computer building(nerd)-at my job im a chemist and systems mechanic- im also a shade tree inventor-if it breaks i can fix it ...and all of my friends and family know that im there for them when they need me.

The End of this world
by U.2.K. Tha Greate$t inalright alot of people say that the jehovah witness was going on preaching in the early 1900's about how the end was coming before soon and those who was born or living in the year 1918 would still be alive to see christ second coming(or coming and not be seen).
i would'nt know nothing about that, cause i was'nt even born till 1981. but from my study's from the witness, they told me that sort of preaching was never going on.
anyway the point to this post is, "we all know that nobody knows when the end of "this world" will come, the messiah made this clear and said only "god knows".

An allegory: The Twelve Brothers
by seattleniceguy inwhen i first was beginning to see the light, i wrote this allegory as a spin on the old "what if you found a house in the middle of a desert" illustration witnesses use all the time.
i wrote it to explain in non-threatening terms to my witness friends the way i was seeing the universe.
just thought i'd see what you all think..... * * * .

After Disassociation or Disfellowshipping, can u still pray or read bible?
by NaruNaruChan in...because i can't, not after what they said to me.
i've been noticing more an more that i'm more athiest than anything else because i don't have a gret attachment to god or spirituality.
ive mentally grouped it as a pseudoscience.

What Might've Kept You Still In The Organization?
by minimus insome people left the organization because of the united nations scam, 1975, the "generation" change, child abuse issues, not feeling the "love" of the brotherhood, etc.
in all honesty, is there something----that if it hadn't happened----would have kept you still in?
for example, if the child abuse issues were resolved properly, perhaps, some of those that left because of the mishandling, might still be at the meetings.

Do you think we're just doing what the JWs expect by being here?
by NaruNaruChan indon't get me wrong, i'm as guilty as the next guy.
i love reading on here, lurking if you will (i am a woman of very few words) but you know, i still remember what those anal warts (elders) would say at meetings about "apostates" etc.
do you think we're just playing the part because we left the org, i mean, do you get what i'm saying?

Calling all - PLEASE!!! Big Step For Me.
by Doubtfully Yours innow, please remember, jw my entire life.
therefore, many prejudiced and warped ideas.. the deal is that a very nice co-worker invited me to a 'christmas play' at her baptist church and i accepted.
the play is tonight, and i have all these messed-up ideas that perhaps it's wrong to step foot into another church; or that perhaps since i've been taught all my life that demons reside in the false religion churches that i'll be bothered by these demons if i attend this event tonight.. please, help me win over these live-long thoughts.
